Chapter Three
Draco POV
I walked down the hall with Blaise at my side "Why do you think Arella made that comment earlier?" Blaise laughed "Don't ask me man…I don't know how the mind of a woman works" I gave him a glare and continued thinking about Arella. I don't understand what she has against me. I mean we never met before, she doesn't even know me. I glanced up getting ready to enter the classroom for DADA and saw Arella walking with the youngest Weasley. Why she was hanging out with a Weasley was confusing.
What could she possibly see in a Weasley to actually be friends with one? I watched as they started laughing and getting closer to the classroom. I quickly entered the room behind Blaise and sat down next to him. As Arella and Weasley entered the room they sat down in the desk next to me and Blaise. I watched as Weasley glanced at me and started laughing. Arella looked at me with a smirk and turned back to Weasley whispering to each other. I glanced at Blaise with a confused look at him. I didn't really understand what I had done to make them start laughing and whispering like crazy. I was about to comment to them about it when Professor Snape entered the room and automatically started class with a speech of the DADA.
He started listing off partners for the lesson and stuck me with the crazy, evil chick that wants to kill me. I think he really wanted me dead. We stood in duel position with our wands are ready. She had that smirk on her face that leaves me with a little fear. I immediately went for the spell Stupefy. While I waved my wand to do the spell I was knocked back to the ground making a crash and my wand no longer in my hand. I looked up at Arella giving me a look of accomplishment as Snape walked over to us commenting to me how a Parkinson could disarm a Malfoy. I stood up and barely heard Snape telling Arella to stay after class. I got my wand back and immediately left the classroom. I joined up with Blaise who was barely containing his laughter "Man! That chick has got some guts" I nodded my head not really listening.
How she had immediately known I was going to through a spell confused me immensely. I made a choice in my head to finally meet up with Arella and question her about everything on the way to lunch.
Arella POV
DADA class was hilarious. I think I have him fearing for his life. I stayed behind in class telling Ginny I'd catch up with her before the next class. I followed Professor Snape to his desk and waited to be addressed. I heard him start to speak "How did you learn Occlumency?" I smirked at him knowing that I was a very advanced witch. For one to learn Occlumency and be able to hold it constantly was a very difficult task. "I taught myself a few years back." I could tell he was shocked for hardly anyone was able to teach themselves such advanced magic. "That is very advanced magic it must have taken quite a bit of time" I shook my head smiling on the inside "Not really. A total of at least four months, I also taught myself Legilimency." I saw him shake his head gently and dismiss me from the room.
I grabbed my stuff and headed straight for my next class wanting to quickly talk to Ginny about the incident in class. I smiled and ran off to Transfiguration. Through the next few classes everything went pretty normal. No picking on Draco or bugging him with disarming him in DADA. I walked with Ginny towards the Great Hall for lunch and felt a tap on my shoulder. I stopped walking and turned around noticing it was Draco. I glanced at Ginny "You can head on. I can handle this" I smirked at her while she laughed and continued walking. Draco looked at me "What is your problem with me?" I laughed "I don't have a problem with you Malfoy. What makes you think so?" I watched as he thought of what I said "Well for one, you almost killed me a year ago and two, you beat me in DADA. No Parkinson has ever beaten a Malfoy."
I flared with anger "Do NOT acknowledge me as a Parkinson!" I storm off into the Great Hall flaming mad. I saw Ginny give me a confused look as I motioned that I'd tell her later. I sat down at the table where Blaise was at as he gave me a proud look "Nice move in DADA" I nodded my head "Thanks. Why do you think Malfoy has a problem with me? I mean I haven't really done anything wrong" Blaise laughed and shook his head "Well you did almost kill him a year ago and with the move in DADA I think you wounded his pride." I laughed and then decided maybe I should tell him what really happened. I gave him a deathly glare "If I tell you something you better not mention a word to Malfoy alright?" Blaise nodded his head in fear "Of course. I won't say a word!" I nodded my head "I wasn't purposely throwing that spell at him. It was actually meant for my sister. He was just in the aim of fire."
Blaise looked at me shocked "You would have killed your sister?" I smiled "Well of course! It would have happened if Malfoy hadn't moved in my way and blocked my view." He shook his head shocked at what I had just said. I looked as I saw Draco heading towards the table and I slid down a few seats to stay a good distance away from him. I was kind of dreading the next class. I wasn't all that brilliant in Potions even though I did enjoy the class. I looked quickly at Ginny and motioned her to the door as I quickly grabbed a roll and started to walk out. I met Ginny outside the door and started walking towards the dungeons.
"So…What happened?" I looked at Ginny as she asked me the question "Well he thinks I have a problem with him, and I will sooner or later if he continues to address me as a Parkinson!" Ginny laughed and grabbed my arm heading quickly to the potions room. "Now what were you telling Blaise at the table? He looked terrified and confused" I laughed "He knows what happened at the battle. I was making him swear not to tell anyone" We walked into the room and I noticed that Blaise and Draco weren't sitting next to each other. I headed to take the seat next to Blaise when Ginny got there first. I gave her an evil look and went to sit next to Draco. I glared at him "Malfoy."
