Isabelle's P.O.V
He winked and held out his hand. "I'm Malfoy" he said smugly. She took his hand, and shook it once. "Draco Malfoy."
His hand continued to hold hers, for a longer time than necessary. She let go hastily, drawing her hand behind her. "Isabelle Allaway," she replied, nodding once.
She felt a tugging on her robes, and turned. Hermione was pulling her sleeve, Harry and Ron already out of sight. She turned back to Draco, looking down, allowing her wavy hair to cover her face, to hopefully hide her blush that was creeping up her cheeks.
"I have to go." she said.
"Of course," said Draco. "I hope we meet again." Isabelle nodded once more, and followed Hermione down he corridor, fighting her way through the crowd of students.
Before turning the corner to Gryffindor tower, she looked back, only to see the grey eyes of Draco Malfoy watching her, as she disappeared behind her cousin. She was unable to help the smile that would later spread across her face, as she remembered his eyes on her, and her alone.
Harry's P.O.V
They made their way up to the entrance to Gryffindor Tower, which was concealed behind a large portrait of a fat lady in a pink silk dress.
"Password?" she said, as they approached.
"Balderdash," said George, "A prefect downstairs told me."
The portrait swung forward to reveal a hole in the wall, through which they all climbed.
"Where'd Hermione go?" asked Ron as they stepped through the portrait hole.
"She was right behind us." said Harry, looking back as the portrait swung shut again. They shared concerned glances, before shrugging and making their way over to a couch, joining Neville by the crackling fire.
Only moments later, Hermione entered the Common Room, her cousin by her side. The moment they entered, all eyes were on Isabelle, who didn't seem to notice, as she smiled to herself, looking at the floor.
"Isabelle," Hermione said, breaking her train of thought. "If you want to head up to the girls dorm I'll meet you there." Isabelle nodded at her, before turning to Ron and Harry.
"Goodnight guys." She smiled and waved, before turning on her heel and bouncing up to the spiral staircase.
Once out of ear shot, Ron said, "What's up with her?"
"Malfoy." said Hermione, staring after her cousin worriedly.
She bid goodnight to the three boys before following Isabelle up the stairs. She reached the door that Isabelle was standing outside, that would lead to the girls dormitories. Hermione opened the door for her, and Isabelle went inside. A collective sigh went up through the Common Room and Hermione looked to see every guy in Gryffindor, from 1st year to 7th staring after Isabelle. Every guy except Ron and Harry, who were looking around in confusion.
Hermione rolled her eyes, but before she could shut the door, someone yelled out "Hey Granger! Is your cousin part Veela?"
"No, why would you even think that?" and with that, she shut the door before was asked any more stupid questions.
Hermione entered her dormitory, to find Isabelle singing softly to herself. Attractive, smart and she can sing thought Hermione. No wonder they all love her.
"Hey Hermione," said Isabelle bouncing up and hugging her. Great personality too.
"Hey Isabelle." she replied.
"I'm a bit nervous about class tomorrow." Isabelle said. "What if no one likes me?"
"I'm sure they'll love you." Hermione responded.
Isabelle eyes brightened and her smile grew. Half an hour later, and she was sound asleep. She was so oblivious to the power she held over guys because of her looks, but perhaps it was better that way.
Okay, it's a bit shorter than usual, but the next chapter will be longer. The text taken from the book came from page 161 & 162.
