"I know, she's such a slut. It'd be easier to like her if she didn't try to do it with every guy who effing breathes, you know? I mean, it's like…." Halley was fuming over the conversation running through her mind that she'd heard earlier about herself while walking back from Potions class. So what if I like guys! She thought,It's not like I'm a damn prostitute or anything—
"Hey, Halley," She heard behind her. Her thoughts stopped and she turned.
"Oh, hi…um…," She couldn't seem to remember who he was, although he looked familiar.
"It's, um, Draco," He told her, his face turning a pink tint. Now she remembered!
"Oh! Yeah, hi," She couldn't think of anything else to say, and either could he. For a while, they just walked in silence. "Do you need something?" She asked finally, "because I'll tell you right now, your not asking the right person."
He laughed awkwardly, "No, I just…wanted to say hi I guess." They were now at the entrance to the Slytherin common room.
"Shit!" she exclaimed, digging through her books and pockets, "I know I wrote the password down somewhere," Halley was notorious for her absent-mindedness, "Where'd it go?" Draco noticed some markings on her hand as she was paging through her book, he grabbed her hand to see what it was, and then showed her. "Oh, thank you!" she remarked, and looked up at his face, searching it as if she was looking for something in his eyes, before she smiled slightly and entered the room, leaving Draco standing there alone.
That night, after everyone else had gone to bed, Emme was sitting alone in an armchair, studying. Draco approached her and heard her say, "Hey, you again." He blushed, but looked to see she had a smile on her face, and sat down in a chair next to her. She was still focused on her book in front of her as she said, "So, what's with your sudden interest in me?" She said this not rudely, but with curiosity.
Taken aback, Draco stammered, "Well, since you a-asked….uh…my friends were talking about you, and I, um, remembered you from random times, you know. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I kind of like you…," He was blushing even more now.
"Really?" She was looking at him again now. "You know, you have gorgeous eyes," she observed as he blushed even more, "But I think I should be going now. You seem to be blushing a lot, you know." She winked and stood. There was a hesitation before she bent down and lightly kissed his cheek, then she was gone.
