Chapter 2 - Avoiding
Draco
Once I awoke, I dressed as quickly as I could and ran out of the common room away from Granger. I just had to, I mean it's not like I was embarrassed, ok? I just didn't want to see her. Fine, I was embarrassed. I think last night I took it to far and to soon, especially with the hug! I mean, it totally freaked her out! I scared her by everything! I was so stupid! What the hell was I thinking? Telling her I didn't want to be enemies because I was sick of teasing her and that I was sorry? Draco you idiot! You hadn't talked to her in months and you teased her all her life at Hogwarts? Ugh! But what's done is done. I can't change what I did; I will have to talk to her again, but not this morning. Hopefully she forgot about it…. Bull shit she won't forget! That's impossible with her mind!
But I can't stop thinking about her. Her figure, posture and those lips! Her skin was so soft and her hair? Despite the mass of curl it was surprisingly smooth and silky. Her eyes are a beautiful chocolate brown and…. Draco stop! What the hell are you thinking? Stop describing the mudblood and watch where you going and what you're doing the voice inside my head told me. I sighed. Somehow I think I sort of have an obsession on the mudblood, and for a Malfoy like me, that's not very good. What would dad and mum think? Oh wait they're dead.
I started thinking about the bookworm again while walking to breakfast; I scoffed down a piece of toast and hurried along to Defence Against the Dark Arts, which was my first lesson. I checked my timetable. I didn't have Granger in my class till after lunch, Potions. Hopefully Snape will be a great godfather and not do anything that will piss me off. Now that I think about it, a lot of thing annoy me.
...
Well besides potions, avoiding Granger had gone great, even though I was still thinking about last night. But once I entered potions class, I saw names on the board and read the heading, 'Partners for this year', and of course I was with Granger. Stupid Snape! Of course he put me with Granger, just to make my life hell. I noticed my new partner enter with 'The Boy Who Couldn't Die' and the one of many red-headed Weasels and I noticed they read the board. I looked at her, she locked eyes with me and we both nodded and the same time, I motioned her to come sit where I wanted too. I sighed to myself; this was going to be a long year.
...
"Granger will you stop that!" I hissed at the girl that was sitting next to me. "What?" she whispered back and stared at me quizzically as if she had no idea she was tapping her quill against the table and that it was distracting me. But I knew she knew, there was the smallest grin ever but I noticed it. "What should I stop doing Malfoy?" I shook my head and concentrated again on my uncle who was reading out instructions. "Granger stop tapping that quill and let me concentrate!" I said in a fierce whisper. She raised her eyebrow and surprisingly leaned closer with her mouth inches from my ear. "All you had to do was ask Malfoy." I stared at her, really? All I had to do was ask and she would have stopped and I could have started paying attention long ago. God Granger.
