Hannah sat crouched behind the statue willing the person who was slowly coming towards her to walk straight past. Her heartbeat pumped as she tried to calm herself and think of something, anything, she could say if this person saw her. Her heartbeat overlapped her thoughts as the footsteps loomed closer, the sound echoing through her mind. The sound slowed and stopped right beside the statue. She looked to her left and saw a blonde head bending down to pick up something off the floor. Her eyes widened and her heart slowed to an almost stopping point as she realized that the thing this boy clutched softly in his hands, sifting the material through them almost as smooth as water, was her invisibility cloak! She started to hyperventilate slightly as she thought about how her cloak had most likely fallen out when she was running to hide behind the statue. A hand tapped her shoulder and she turned with a start. The eyes that were gazing back at her were silver grey and wide, staring into her emerald green ones. 'Hi...Are you okay?,' Draco Malfoy asked his hand still resting on her shoulder and his gorgeous silver eyes were narrowed with care. She nodded speechless and unable to take her eyes off his, 'Cus, you were kinda hyperventilating there…' he chuckled and she smiled
'Yeah, I'm fine… just a little out of breath I've been… running.' She said lying easily. He chuckled again.
'Well… I found this on the floor…is it yours?' He smiled a gorgeous crooked smile and held up her invisibility cloak. She was breathless for a second before she blushed a deep red and nodded. Jesus she thought What the hell is happening to me? He grinned wider, his white teeth sparkling even brighter than his extremely pale skin. He put out his hand and she took it pulling her up onto her feet. She blushed even more and thanked him quietly as she dusted herself off. He handed her the cloak and smiled at her again. There was an awkward silence before she turned to him and said 'Aren't you meant to be at dinner now?,' she raised her eyebrows. He laughed at her expression and said 'Yeah I had a meeting with my godfather,' She smiled and said oh. He laughed, 'Oh by the way… I'm sorry for being so tremendously rude earlier in Dumbledore's office, I didn't mean to offend you by my staring or anything.' She laughed
'Its fine you were not being 'tremendously rude' at all!' She laughed again. He blushed and said
'Too posh?' and blushed some more looking sheepishly down at his shoes holding his hands behind his back. She reached forward and stroked his fringe out of his face saying '
'No, no it's adorable,' she blushed again and said, 'Sorry,' They both blushed even more and turned away. People were starting to fill out of the dinner hall. 'Oh shit,' she said as she turned around looking at all the people filling the entrance hall, 'Listen…umm? I gotta go now, sorry…thank you for my cloak… don't wanna sound rude but umm what's your name?' she asked walking backwards towards the kitchen staircase.
'Draco Malfoy' He said smiling.
'Pleasure meeting you Draco, I'm Hannah' She smiled and turning away she ran down the staircase. Her heart throbbed as she walked away from him, which confused her in a strange way.
Back in the corridor Draco's heart throbbed just as much as hers as he watched her turn into the door were the staircase to the kitchen was. He was frozen his eyes wide and his hand tracing the place where her hand had stroked her hair. His mouth was open and his silver eyes were staring down the corridor. He heard a voice from behind him 'Draco!' he heard Blaise shout. He turned to see him walking towards him and walked to meet him halfway. Draco's heart throbbed even more as walked away.
