Harry looked at me for what seemed like hours as I looked right back at him. The whole time Draco's arm never left my waist.
"I can't believe you Hayley. After everything he has done to me you start going out with him." Harry said to me as his anger was not mixed with disappointment. I felt Draco tense as those words left Harry's mouth.
" we aren't going out Harry, we are just friends." I told him knowing he would not belive it because of where draco's arm was but it was worth a shot.
"friends my ass." Harry said before turning around and walking away. Hermione and Ron gave me one more glare before following him.
"well…he didn't explode." Draco said with a smirk, but it wasn't his usual evil smirk it was an amused smirk. I smacked him lightly before we walking inside the castle. "a new year a new adventure." I said as I looked around the great hall that was decorated like it always is for the feast. Floating candles everywhere, the house flags hanging, the ceiling charmed to match the sky which was clear and beautiful tonight.
"a brand new adventure." He said to me before kissing me on the check and walking over to the slytherin table. If I were able to I would have been blushing madly. I walked over to the Gryffindor table with a huge smile on my face and sat down in a position where I could see Draco and he sat where he could see me so we were both looking at each other. I probably looked insane to him because of the huge smile on my face but I didn't care. Right as I was about to wave to him Pansy sat down next to him and was all over him. I got so disgusted I moved seats. I couldn't stand to look at that. I sat down around people I didn't even know who gave me dirty looks, obviously having seen me with Draco. I sighed as I watched all the first years and the cullens walk through the halls. I noticed everyone looking at the Cullens like they were the hottest things on earth. I saw the Girls glaring at Alice, Rose, and Bella because they were holding hands with the guys and glaring at Bella because she was holding nessie, and the guys were glaring at Emmet, Jasper, and Edward for being with the girls. I had to hide my laughter at what I was seeing and watched them be sorted. Everyone made it into Gryffindor except for Rose who was sorted into slytherin. 'That couldn't work towards my advantage'. i was so off in my own world thinking of Draco that I did not notice the Cullens sit down around me, all except for Rose of course.
"how was the rest of your ride Hayley?" Alice asked me as the rest of the first years got sorted.
"it was…interesting" I told her with a smile on my face while trying to block out all thoughts of Draco but judging by Edward's smirk, I didn't do a very good job at it and I didn't do it soon enough. I didn't notice that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting a couple people down from me until they said something.
"you know these people?" Ron asked me with his face full of food and Hermione scolding him while trying to glare at me.
"not that it is any of your business but yes, I happen to know them."
"she doesn't just know them, she is best friends with them." Harry said to him with a smile on his face. I didn't understand what he was doing. This would make Ron and maybe Hermione like me more because I am friends with them and I thought he was pissed off at me for being with Draco. I shook of my confusing as Edward gave me a strange look. I shook my head and started to eat, to put on the act.
"you need to hunt tonight." Alice told me in Vampire speed so that no one else heard but us vampires. I looked up at her and nodded not really wanting to say anything at the moment. The feast quickly ended and I gave out a sigh in relief. Just as I got up and started to walk out of the great hall I got pulled aside by Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Edward. they took me aside into a corner where no one was looking to talk to me.
"ok you have a lot of explain to do." Harry said to me after making sure no one was listening in.
"why is he here?" Ron asked Harry as he glared at Edward, obviously jealous of him.
"because he can read minds so he is here to make sure she doesn't lie. I will explain that late." Harry said to him. I rolled my eyes at them.
"did you punch Hermione?" Edward asked me I could feel him inside of my mind.
"no I did not and honestly Hermione no matter how much you hate me it was low of you to not say that I didn't do it when I was accused." I told her with a glare. They all looked at Edward and he nodded signaling that I was telling the truth.
"why were you hanging out with Malfoy" Harry asked me.
"because unlike you guys he comforted me when I was upset and he was actually nice to me. I don't know why he was nice to me, I am trying to figure that out myself now if you excuse me I will be going now" I told them before pushing my way out of their little circle around me. I heard Edward telling them that I was telling the truth as I walked away from them and out of the castle to hunt before pretending to go to sleep.
