Draco Point Of View
"You look like your about to stab him." laughed Blaise.
"Great keep all the knives away from me." I replied sarcastically.
Blaise chuckled before picking up his fork gingerly and eating the piece of pancake on it.
"So, on a scale of one to ten, how mad are you?" he asked, before taking his cup of pumpkin juice and having a sip.
"Umm.. let me think." I pretended to think about it. "9.5 out of ten." I answered.
He choked on his drink, btu continued to laugh. Even Pansy was laughing, having have finally noticed I was not over my ex-girlfriend.
"Drake, just go talk to her." she sighed.
"I can't she's dating my friend." I grumbled, not noticing I sounded like a spoiled five year old.
Blaise chuckled, and a smile brightened Pansy's face.
She knew something. Was it a girl secret, or was it her just hearing the rumors, and putting piece by piece together.
"Can you believe he had the nerve to ask her out." I sneered.
Pansy tried to keep a straight face, but the smile tugging on her face was irreversible.
"Usually you wait like a month." I complained, may face set straight as I looked over at him talking to her, Ron and Harry looking annoyed as ever.
Perhaps they had noticed her and I would be a far better match.
I shook my head, and tried to get out of my thoughts. Today was the day exams would be happening to determine our first term reports.
I was supposed to pass with flying colours.
Little did my parents know, I had been slightly distracted lately.
"Come on man, keep your head in focus, Snape apparently has an exam that will kill us." said Blaise, breaking me out of my haze.
"Ya but we are in Slytherin he can't get that mad." I groaned.
"Your right, it will be an embarassment to watch his house all fail his exam." joked Pansy.
"Joy to his world." muttered Blaise.
Pansy and I had an odd relationship. Having had known her since I was three years old, we grew up together, I could tell her every move. From her liking a guy, on of my friends, to a random ravenclaw, her failing or acing a test.
She was kind of like a bestfriend of the opposite gender.
Weird, but our relationship worked in it's odd formated way.
"Good Luck man, I have to go face Mcgonagalls fury." groaned Blaise, taking an apple before walking out of the Great Hall.
"I should go too. I have Professor Trewlany first." sighed Pansy.
She got up and straightened her robes. "And Drake." I looked up and she gave me a soft smile,
"Don't give up on her just yet, if she means that much to you, trust me, she'll notice sooner or later."
She straightened her posture and walked out, her inch flats clicking on the tiles.
I looked around and sighed, grabbing an apple, just as Blaise had, and headed off to the library, knowing I should try to study in the library for the common room would be filled with last minute studying, shuffling around and people tripping, squirming, and being nervous.
And knowing me, I could not do that at the moment.
I walked to the libary, hoping I looked non-chalant, bored, the way I usually did.
I opened the door, and MAdam Pince looked up, and I could almost hear her mentally cursing me.
I walked over to the table and set my books down. Opened my one text-book for herbology, and began to study.
"Hey, Malfoy." The softness of the voice made my heart stop. It was far too familar. MY eyes shot up, and landed on Hermione. She was standing there, looking calm, her nervousness written all over her face.
I nodded. "Granger."
"All the other tables are being used and yours has a few empty chairs, I was wonderin... can I sit here?"
I was having a battle with myself. Let her sit here, and I might blurt out something stupid. Don't let her sit, and she'll take it the wrong way.
I smirked, and answered. "Go ahead Granger."
A flash of relief swept onto her face, and she put her books down.
We sat in silence for what felt like hours. But no matter how many times I wished time would go faster, it seemed to slow down.
After an hour. She sighed, breaking the dead silence sorrounding our table.
"I think I'm done, after all I should go down to write our potions test" And left, not letting me say anything to her.
I stared at her retreating form. That just went so well. Not.
I picked up my books and dropped them into my bag. It was time to go face Snapes test.
Hermione Point Of View
Well that had gone... better than I expected.
I caught Theo talking to his friends, and he smiled walking over to me.
"Hey." he said.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Walk me to class?" I asked him.
"Sure." he shrugged. He held my hand. And once again that feeling in my stomach came alive.
It was gnawing at me, and I couldn't stand it. I felt like I was... cheating on Theo some how, but that wasn't possible, he was my boyfriend afterall.
But everytime he hugged me or kissed me or held my hand, I couldn't help but imagine Draco. Was it possible that I still liked him?
Don't be ridiculous. I scolded myself.
But I wasn't. Infact, I was telling the truth to myself, and I didn't like it.
I stopped walking and Theo turned around.
"Something wrong?" he asked, searching my face fo some sort of emotion.
"I feel terrible." I whispered.
He didn't catch it.
"What?" he asked.
"This isn't right Theo." I said, thinking about it, my eyes darting from his face, to his eyes, to the wall behind him.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
"This just doesn't feel right. Not to me." I said.
" Your talking about us." he finally said. But by the look on his face, I could tell the same topic had been on his mind numerous times.
"Malfoy sends me glares, and I pretend not to notice." he chuckled.
"Theo I'm so sorry." I whispered. The verge of tears coming onto me.
"No, I was just a plan." he says, stuffing his one hand into his pocket.
"No your more than that." I got out.
"Don't worry about it."
He was becoming distant again, and I wanted to tell him to stop.
"Theo... It's not that I don't like you, its the fact, right now, I'm torn. Between you and Malfoy. And it's driving me crazy. I can't deal with relationships, because I can't handle it right now." I said. A tear slipping down my cheek.
He hugged me and I hugged him back, taking in as much as I could of him. His smell, his hair, the very feel of him.
"I'lla lways be here for you." he whispered.
I cried even harder.
"Don't cry, come one, it's best for both of us. Truth is, I liked you after Daphne broke up with me, I guess we both just.." he trailed off, scuffing his foot on the floor.
"Fell for what we first saw." I fille din.
He smiled, and pulled me in.
"Promise me this won't change anything between us." I whispered.
"I promise." he answered back.
I let go of my grip on his neck and kissed him once more. He kissed me back.
And we both pulled away.
"Good luck." he said.
"You too." he said, before walking into the class room. Hodling his hand, but for a completely different reason.
For the strenth I prayed he could give me.
SO! A lot in one chapter, I know! But please review and lemme know what you think.
