Draco noticed Charlie with the paper and took it off her.
"Draco, don't read it," She whispered. She tried to take it off him, but he slipped in an inside pocket of his robe. She went back to her work, watching him out the corner of her eye, after a while he took it out. She tried to take it out his hand again, but this time the Professor saw her. "Detention, see me after class Miss Ashfield" He said. Charlie sank back into her chair and gave Lupin the evils. She saw Harry Potter and his gay little friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, laughing. She hated sharing classes with Gryffindors, especially because of those three. She turned her attention back to Draco, who had opened the note. "I can't see him even if I wanted to, I have to see the stupid Professor after class" She whispered. "Stay away from him, Charlie, it's for the best," He whispered back. She didn't answer and finished off her work until the end of the lesson. She slung her backpack over her shoulder and walked over to the Professor, whilst everyone else left including Draco. "So when's my detention? Sir" She asked, through gritted teeth. "Tomorrow night at half 7 and please learn to pay more attention in my class, Miss Ashfield" He said. "Yes, Sir" She mumbled and walked out. She checked her timetable and saw she had potions next. She walked quickly to class, as much as she knew Snape preferred Slytherins, she also knew he didn't like students being late.

She entered the dungeon and stood next to Draco.
"Don't worry, you're not late," He mumbled, as if sensing her anxiety to know. She breathed out with relief. She heard the door slam open and turned her attention to the front of the class. She wanted the lesson to go quickly as they had a free period next. It wasn't a hard lesson; they just had to make some felix felicis. Charlie loved working with Draco, he was a very easy person to work with and they always had a laugh together. She received another note from Connor saying:

Charlie We have a free period next and since we didn't get to talk at the end of last lesson, talk to me then, but instead I'll meet you down by the forbidden forest Connor xx

She made the decision to give it to Draco this time. She nudged him and passed it to him under the table. He read it and saw the expression on his face after he read it, she knew that expression well, Connor had held it upon his face a lot of times. Charlie watched him scribble something on the back of the note and hand it to her. It said:

You're better off without him, don't go. We'll talk more after class.

She looked up at him and nodded. He carried on adding ingredients into the potion; she didn't bother to help him any more and just wrote down some notes. They didn't talk for the rest of the lesson, making it go painfully slow. Eventually it ended and Charlie waited patiently for Draco to put his stuff back in his bag. He got up and followed her out; they went and sat down by the lake. "Charlie promise me you won't get involved with him again" Draco said, he had calmed down a bit by now. "I promise, don't you trust me or something?" She asked. He put his hands on hers. "Of course I trust you," He said. She kissed him swiftly on the lips and stood up. "I gotta go and see Starsky," She said. "Can't I come?" Draco asked, smiling. "Not unless you want to talk about girly things," She giggled. He stayed by the lake and she went into the castle or so she did for a minute. She sneaked out of the castle via a hidden entrance and stood by the forbidden forest. She waited for a while, feeling a bit like an idiot.
