I'm going away for the next week so I can't upload any more, but the actual story is finished a few months now. I just never uploaded it. I'm sorryyy. :I
Without further ado;
Chapter 5: Nerves and Anticipation
All throughout dinner, Selina was silent. She barely ate, and her only thoughts were on Draco Malfoy, and whether he'd show her up or not.
He himself seemed just as quiet as her. She had glanced over to him multiple times, only to find that he wasn't joking to his friends, or slagging off people. It was very odd behaviour, for Draco.
Selina tried to listen to Alyssa, but in the end she gave up. She could never multitask like that.
After about an hour at the Ravenlaw dinner table, the food vanished and students began to file out of the Great Hall, back to their common rooms for the night.
Selina's stomach started to feel light and fluttery, very much like the 'butterfly' sensation people tend to get, as she tagged along behind her friends out into the Entrance Hall where Selina's friends from different Houses said their goodnights.
"Goodnighty guys!" Said Kim happily, hugging all her friends.
When she got to Selina however, as she pulled away, she said in a mere whisper; "Expect a lot of arguments once you start dating."
Selina knew quite well that she should be used to this random-prediction thing that goes on with Kim, but yet she still stood there, awe-struck.
"Night!" She beamed once more before turning for the Hufflepuff dorms.
"Goodnight peoples." May saluted with her right hand, before laughing and adding, "Even though I never sleep."
As she and Gabrielle left, Selina's stomach did a backflip completely.
May caught up with Draco and flicked the back of his head.
"HEY DRACO, YOU'RE A FAG!" She shouted jokingly, before running off so Draco couldn't hit her back, even though he didn't even react in the first place.
"Bonsoir guys, I have to go and catch up with Harry!" Said Gabrielle excitedly, before turning and running up the marble staircase to catch up with the other Gryffindors.
"Come on Sel," said Alyssa, tugging her friend by the arm and leaving for the common rooms behind Rose and other Ravenclaws.
When Selina and her friends reached their common room and answered the riddle correctly (after about 15 minutes of brainstorming with most of their year), Alyssa plopped down in the common room sofa and opened her bag and started to do her homework, as did other Ravenclaws.
That was a thing in Ravenclaw Tower. Everyone did their homework as soon as they came in, and it would be dead silent for about another hour.
Selina herself did most of her homework too, though quite slowly so as to be the last one in the commons.
"Come on Selina, you coming up to bed?" Alyssa's high and squeaky voice penetrated the metamorphmagus' thoughts like a knife, and she struggled to find an intelligent excuse.
"Um.. I'm going to study a bit more, you know I never do.." She said sheepishly, holding up her Arithmancy book she was studying
Alyssa nodded, and suddenly looked like Alexandra, Selina's mother.
"I'm glad you've seen the error of your studying ways, Selina. I'm proud. It might be a bit late, it IS O.W.L year, but at least now you'll be prepared for your N.E.W.T.s."
Selina tried her best not to roll her eyes.
"Nighty, Sellie!" She said happily, before hopping up the stairs to bed.
As soon as Alyssa was out of earshot, Selina stood from her seat and fixed her hair in the mirror before opening the door to leave once again.
"I sure hope this is serious.." She said worriedly, closing the door quietly behind her.
The Ravenclaw walked quietly along the corridors, peeking around corners twice and listening carefully before tip-toeing quickly and silently to the next one.
"If I get caught I'll rage." She mumbled to nobody in particular.
She had snuck down 3 flights of stairs successfully, but the further she got, the more anxious she became. What if he wasn't there? What if he had tipped off a teacher like he did to Harry Potter in first year? What if he had told Umbridge?
That horrible possibility was enough to make Selina turn on her heel right there and then and run back to her dorms before it became true.
Just as she decided to do so however, someone had tipped her shoulder.
She squealed, shivered and turned around, terrified.
"Sorry sir, I-" She began, almost in tears, when she saw none other than May standing behind her.
"Hey Selina, what'cha doing up so late?" She asked patronisingly, looking down on the smaller girl.
"It's only nine." Said Selina, eyerolling. "Why, what are YOU doing up so late?"
"I wander the corridors every night, it's kind of a thing going on with me."
"Don't you sleep?" Asked Selina incredulously.
"Are you retarded? You've known me five years and you don't know that I'm a fucking vampire?"
"I obviously knew that, but-"
"Vampires don't sleep, stupid. I mentioned it as we were saying goodnight!" She said, making a retarded face, imitating Selina.
"I-...Oh.. Right.. I thought that was just an exaggeration, and you know we never studied vampires in detail, so I don't know how you'd expect me to know that." Selina said hastily, getting more nervous about meeting with Draco, and whether she'd be caught.
May raised her eyebrow. "Why are you talking so fast?" She asked curiously.
"No reason." Selina tried he best to sound as she usually did.
"There is a reason.. Your hair just turned orange." Said the vampire. "Excited, are we?"
"Nervous excitement, more like." Blurted the Ravenclaw.
"For what?" The Slytherin prodded. "...Wait... OH MY GOD. DON'T TELL ME-!" May suddenly beamed.
Selina folded her arms. "What?" She demanded, blushing a little.
"You're going to meet a guy, aren't you?" Whispered the natural ginger. "Who?"
"May.."
"Whowhowhowhowhowhowho?"
"If you shut your face, leave me to my business and never tell anybody!"
"SURE!"
Selina gulped. "It's Draco Malfoy."
She quickly explained her whole day to May without even thinking, and when she was finished, May's mouth dropped.
"HE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LIKES YOU!"
"OH MY GOD, SHUT UP!" Selina's cheeks burned with embarrassment. "I'm on my way to meet him now, so I have to go!"
The vampire laughed. "USE PROTECTION!" She giggled before walking off, putting headphones on carelessly and turning onto another corridor.
