On The Inside

Chapter Two: My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark

Professor Dumbledore decided to have Quidditch matches to decide which house asks who. We're playing Slytherin house today and if they win, we have to go with which ever one of those. . . creatures ask us first. If we (miraculously because Hufflepuff has been known to suck at Quidditch) win, they have to go with us.

"Well, who's ready to lose, " Al asked us.

"We have a chance, "I say.

"No we don't, "Alexandria said, "We would have a chance I we were playing Ravenclaw, but Slytherin? You are out of your mind. "

"Well, all we can do is try, can't we, "I said as we flew out onto the field.

Lucky me, I was stuck playing Seeker, against the same guy who tried to kiss me yesterday on the train here.

"Well, well, " Malfoy taunted, "Look at what I've got here. "

"Shut up and play the game, Malfoy, "I said as the game began.

Naturally, we lost the game 45 to nothing.

"Well, we're all screwed, " Al sighed, sitting on the bench.

"It can't be all that bad, can it?" I ask as everyone in the room nodded.

"We have to sit around and wait for Slytherins' to pick from us to go to this Winter Gala. This can't get much worse, " Ruben, a first year Quidditch veteran, piped up from the back.

"Well, I'm going out first, "I said.

"You'll probably want to just go ahead and run back to the common room, "Alexandria laughed.

I leave the locker room laughing, but not for long.

I was pinned to the wall by a ball of magic at my throat. Malfoy stepped out from the shadows. He chuckled and smirked as he walked closer, keeping his ice blue eyes on my dull brown ones.

"Well, loser, I was given first pick from the others, you see, " Draco laughed at my dismay.

"What does this have to do with me?" I barely get out.

Draco had removed the magic ball and pinned me to the wall with his own body. In other words, he was way too close for my own personal comfort.

"Well, Phoenix, if you must ask, you are my date for the Winter Gala, "Draco said, "And it will be my own personal job to make sure I know every single part of you there is to know. "

"Well, you'll have to keep dreaming, "I bark in a quiet tone.

"Sounds like I won't be dreaming for long, now will I?" Malfoy questioned me.

Draco's lips met my neck.

"You see, " he whispered against me, "If things keep going like they are going now, I'll know more about you the you know about you. "

"I'm too stubborn for your own good, "I laughed, trying to shake him.

"Maybe, " he said, leaving me in the corridor.
