Prompt: Anger

I was leaning against the door, foot tapping impatiently as I looked left and right down the corridor for none other than Draco Malfoy. He was already ten minutes late, and I had a bone to pick with him.

I was waiting for another three minutes until I finally saw his form emerge at the far side of the hallway. He was walking slowly, staring straight ahead. He avoided eye contact with me until we were face to face, and when he leant in to give me a quick kiss, I quickly pushed him away.

"What the fuck was that for?" He asked angrily, rubbing one shoulder as he stared at me, eyes narrowed.

"You should bloody well know what it's for, you prat." I nearly started laughing at his confusion. I rolled my eyes as he racked his memories of the day for what could have possibly upset me.

Finally, he took a guess. "Is this about me insulting you this morning at breakfast?"

"Finally, he gets it!" I said, throwing my hands up in exasperation.

He let out a short breath in disbelief, moving towards me to put his hands on my shoulders. "I was just keeping up appearances, love. You know how important that it is."

"Yes, I know that we're not supposed to be going out of our way to be nice to one another, but there was absolutely no reason for you to attack me out of nowhere when I was on the other side of the Hall, paying absolutely no attention for you."

"Blaise and Crabbe were insulting your family- there was no way that I could have escaped without insulting you."

"Oh, really? The funny thing is that Ron and the twins were both only a few seats away, yet you still chose to cause a row with me. That's just lovely."

"You're being much too sensitive about the whole situation." Draco protested, running a hand through his blond tresses.

"I wouldn't talk to me any time soon if I were you," I said harshly, turning my back to him and moving down the corridor, ignoring his protests.
