Chapter 10 - Friends Deserting Draco
As I walked back to Slytherin Common Room with Blane, Crabbe and Goyle we thought about what an eventful Potions that we had just came from. Firstly, there was Ginny and I getting into trouble, and then Goyle knocking some of the unready Potion all over Crabbe's hand, causing his hand to sprout several green feelers on his arm and finger-tips, and, at the last minute I accidently knocked Ginny's Potion to the floor by mistake. I generously gave Ginny my potion instead, which she accepted, surprisingly. Maybe this was the start of a un-expected friendship?
Draco, what on earth are you saying? Friendship with a Weasley? Ridiculous. Malfoy's don't mix with Weasley's, and never will. We're just too different. In every way.
Blane nudged me out of my daydream.
"What" I said impatiently"Can't a guy think without getting interrupted"
"Well I am so sorry" replied Blane, smiling slightly"But redhead over there wants a word"
I whipped round and saw Ginny standing staring at me.
"Erm ... hi" I said unsurely. What do you want"
"I just came to thank you for letting me use your potion ... but, I guess it was your fault I dropped it" she said as casually as she could.
"Well, yeah ... no, I mean I didn't mean to make you drop it I just ... I accidently knocked it out of your hand, thats all" I replied.
"What's up, Mally? You seem to be worrying for some reason" Ginny said cheekily.
"Why would I worry when I'm talking to you" She smiled that wonderful smile she has and walked away. Wow, Draco, I thought, you just had a conversation with Ginny, and you didn't even argue with her!
I smiled at the look on Pansy's face.
"What? Am I not allowed to talk to her just because she's a Gryffindor" I said easily.
"Draco, she's ... well not just a Gryffindor, she's a Weasley, you don't like her - do you" Blane asked.
"Leave me Blane, I don't wish to speak to you right now. Crabbe? Goyle? You coming or not"
They shook their heads and stayed by Blane's side! How could they do that to me? My own to best friends, and now they're away with Blane, the new Slytherin bad boy. Well that's fine. I don't need them. I went to the library by myself and opened my book. I would do my essay for Sprout without them then, seeing as that's the way they wanted to be. They weren't much help to start with anyway. I was nearly done when who walked in? No other than the Famous St Scarhead, Mudblood, Weasel and of course, Ginny. But they weren't talking to her. They were arguing.
