Chapter One
Double potions. Not my idea of a fun morning and to make this morning even sunnier, it's with the Slytherins. Merlin help us all.
I glanced up from my schedule to see Ron and Harry, both with identical looks of annoyance. Yes, they have potions as well. At least we will be together.
"This is going to be horrible." Ron states while putting down his schedule.
Harry looks up and nods in agreement, I cannot help but nods as well.
"Yes and judging from Malfoy's face over there, he has potions as well." Harry states while pointing in Malfoy's direction.
"Well while you two look at Malfoy, I am going to class. I am not going to be late first day." I say while standing up and making my way to the doors of the Great Hall. I wave my goodbye, which is then returned.
As I make my way to potions in the dungeons I start to lose myself in thoughts of what we will be learning this year. Suddenly I collide with someone and wait for the impact of the fall. It doesn't come. I open my eyes, and look at my savior. Malfoy. Bloody Hell. But just as I think that he realizes who he caught as drops me.
"Oof!"
I quickly scramble to my feet, looking Malfoy in the face. Wow he has really nice eyes. What? My confusion quickly turns to anger, when I see him start to smirk.
"Well are you going to stare or apologize?" says Malfoy coming a little closer.
"Apologize! You are the one who bumped into me!" I scream while also taking a step forward.
"A Malfoy never bumps into anyone, so obviously it was you."
"HA! That is a riot if I ever heard one. Here I was minding my own business, thinking of the school year ahead and WHAM! someone bumps into me."
"You were thinking about school?" Malfoy suddenly questions, while obviously trying to hold his laugh in.
"Yes. I don't see how this is relevant."
"You truly are Queen of the Nerds." He says while laughing harder.
"Hmmph. Just apologize." This was aggravating, he was aggravating.
"I don't need to, nor will I ever." He stated, taking another step closer.
Suddenly, he was close. I was suddenly very aware of him. I could smell him. He had a pine and woody smell to him. It was so hypnotic. I looked up into his eyes, silver with hints of blue. They looked thoughtful and something else. Suddenly the space became less and less.
