The Gryffindor and the Sytherin
At three thirty the other Gryffindors and I hurried down the front steps and down to the flying lesson. Our teacher, Madame Hooch, arrived right on time. She had short grey hair and yellow eyes like a hawk. She looked around and the said "What are you waiting for? Stand by a broom and yell 'up'. Now" Everyone started shouting "UP". I got mine on about the fourth time, while harry got it on the fourth, and Ron's kinda attacked him.
I nook a sneak peek at malfoy and saw he had already got his. He caught my eye and smirked at me; I quickly looked away. Neville's nerves got the best of him and he went high into the air. Not knowing how to control his broom he crashed into a tower. He fell down 6 stories and broke his wrist and also dropped his remembrall. Neville and Madam Hooch went to the nurse's office and no sooner when they were out of an earshot Draco burst into laughter. I glared at him but before I could tell him to stop laughing he picked up the remembrall and said "did you see his face, the great lump?" he laughed and the rest of the slytherins laughed with him.
"Shut up malfoy" I snapped before I even know what I was doing. His eyes flashed and he glared at me. Pansy, a girl that had a huge crush on Malfoy, told me "Ooh sticking up for Longbottom? Never thought you'd like a fat little crybaby, Weasley" she laughed. My anger boiled and I took out my wand prepared to hex her but Ron pulled me back. Malfoy turned the attention back on Harry. "I think I'll leave the crybabies toy somewhere for Longbottom to find- perhaps in a tree?" harry had had enough and shouted at Malfoy "GIVE IT HEAR!" Malfoy hopped on his broom and soared into the air. Malfoy flew up to the highest oak branches and yelled "come and get it potter!" harry grabbed his broom and Hermione tried to stop him but he flew into the air anyway. Hocks and screams came from the Gryffindor harry made flying look so well... easy.
He flew and up to Malfoy and yelled "give it hear malfoy or I'll knock you off your broom. I saw Malfoy raise his eyebrows but I noticed he looked a little worried. So he yelled "catch it if you can, potter" he threw the remembrall and then Malfoy returned to the ground but harry flew after the remembrall so fast and he caught it! He returned to the ground with the remembrall in his hand. All the Gryffindors ran to him, I clapped in amazement. Ron was patting him on the back and I ran and gave him a hug telling him good job.
Then McGonagall came out and yelled "harry Potter" he went with her, and the slytherins all laughed their butts off. I sighed and looked at the clock, the lesson was over and I had a ton of homework I wanted to do before the weekend, which means l will probably have to see malfoy. I sighed, grabbed my book bag, and headed to the library. Luckily I was the only one there; I sat down and hummed to myself while I finished my potion essay. But of course malfoy had to come and ruin my peace. He slammed his bag hard onto the table and glared at me.
I raised my eyebrow and said "What's your problem?" He just glared at me and sneered "what's my problem? What's my problem?" but he couldn't seem to finish his thought. "Listen Malfoy, harry was just sticking up for Neville. I mean, he did break his wrist. You shouldn't take it so harshly" he blinked and relaxed into the chair. He looked at me for a minute before asking "Why do you talk to me, or even tolerate me Weasley?" I sighed and rubbed my temples. Then I looked him straight in the eye and said "malfoy, I believe in the good in people. I always have, and I always will. No matter how horrible you are to harry, or Hermione, or… people, I believe that there's good in you" he looked at me and shrugged saying "believe what you want Weasley but I still think you're loony. I mean who would want to hang out with a guy who hates their family and her best friends?" I shrugged and said "Why do you want to hang out with me malfoy?" he's quiet for a moment then said "there's something about you Rose, something I like. I don't know what it is but your different from everyone else in your family. And you were almost put into sytherin. That's impressive for a Weasley." I smiled and said "Malfoy's kind of a mouth full. I'm just gonna call you Draco." He smiled at me and said "if you want but that mean's I'll call you Rose" I nodded and we went back to our homework.
