Chap 10
Maggie walked into the dormitory and flopped down on the bed. Then she got up and put on her pajamas. She got out the book she was reading and tried to read it but couldn't concentrate, so she got out Malfoy's note and re- read it, thinking about him. What should she do? Should she tell? Or keep his secret?
Click! The door opened and Ginny, Parvati, and Lavender came in giggling. Parvati saw the note Maggie was holding and giggled even more. "Oh," she said gasping for breath, "Is that from your secret boyfriend?" She reached for it but Maggie jumped away and crumbled it and threw it in the fire. "What'd you do that for?" Parvati said giggling, "It really was from you boyfriend wasn't it? Who is he?"
Maggie sighed, tired of Parvati's constant interrogations, "I don't have a boyfriend, and that note was from...it was...it was blank. It wasn't from anyone. It was scrap paper and the fire was going out!" Damn I'm babbling, she thought.
Parvati raised her eyebrows. Ginny laughed, "You are the worst liar ever!" she said giggling.
The next morning she walked into breakfast with Ginny and Harry. When they walked by the Slytherin table, Malfoy tripped her and she fell flat on her face. Harry helped her up. She stood up and glared at Malfoy. He looked mad and almost...jealous?
"I've had enough of this Malfoy, I'm going to Dumbledore! It's more important than being safe," she yelled in his face. Draco swallowed, trying to hide the fear in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said quietly, so only she could hear, "Sorry, it won't happen again." Wow, did Draco Malfoy just apologize?
She tried not to smile and muttered in what she hoped sounded like an angry voice, "It'd better not," and went over to the Gryffindor Table.
She sat down next to Ginny who was flirting with Harry. Neville sat across from her, mournfully watching Ginny. "How are you doing Nev?" Maggie asked him.
He looked up at her, "Not too good, but I'll get over it."
"I'm sure you will," she said giving him an encouraging smile.
He sighed and nodded, "Anyway she looks really happy; he makes her happy. I'm glad he makes her happy."
She nodded, "That's really cool of you for being so cool with it Neville. You're a great guy."
He nodded, "Thanks, Maggie."
The bell rang. Maggie sprinted down the hall, panting. She had been talking to Ginny after breakfast and lost track of time. Snape got really angry when people were tardy. She came in and quickly sat down in the desk, like a science black lab table that she shared with Hermione.
Snape looked up and frowned. "Thank you for joining us," he said sarcastically. "As I was saying .I am giving all of you assigned lab partners and seats--" the class groaned. When they were quiet he continued, "The reason for this is because--"
He stopped and glared at Harry and Ron who were whispering, and said, "Because some of you don't know how to SHUT UP!"
Harry and Ron stopped talking and looked up while Malfoy turned around and smirked at them. "Anyway.," Snape continued, "Here are your partners: Patil and Goyle, Brown and Crabbe, (Parvati and Lavender moaned) Potter and Granger, Potter needs all the help he can get,"
Harry glared at him and he glared right back. "Longbottom and Bulstrode, Weasley and Parkinson, and Malfoy and Miller."
"Crap," Maggie muttered. "Everyone in your new seats NOW!" Snape said, not loud but in a threatening voice. They all started putting their things together.
"I'll move," Maggie said to Hermione. Harry came over and dumped his things on his new desk.
"That asshole. Why does he always say shit like that? I'm passing Potions!" Harry said.
"Barely," Hermione muttered to Maggie. Maggie grinned and took her stuff and walked over to the table where Malfoy was sitting.
He whispered, "You didn't really mean what you said, did you?"
Maggie shrugged, "I haven't decided yet."
That day they made bloody nose potion. It worked too. Snape had Neville try it. Neville drank too much and his nose wouldn't stop bleeding, and he had to go to the nurse. Malfoy laughed so hard he choked on his gum. Then he started screaming at Maggie for almost dropping their beaker of potion she was handing in to be graded.
At the end of the horrible class she was exhausted. She walked to lunch with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Ron kept complaining about Pansy, "She's the worst partner ever! She expects me to do everything while she sits there and stares at Malfoy the whole time. And then she was telling me the top 10 reasons why she feels sorry for Hermione having me as a boyfriend!" His face was all red and Harry and Hermione laughed.
"Did you have as much fun with Malfoy?" Harry asked Maggie.
She rolled her eyes, " He spent the whole time laughing at people or telling me, no yelling, that I was doing everything wrong," she smiled, "which I was." Then she looked mad again, "but still!"
"That's Malfoy for you," said Hermione.
After lunch they walked out to Care of Magical Creatures. "Today we are going to study veelas," said Hagrid happily. Malfoy laughed and Hagrid frowned at him, "Malfoy, you can hand out the information packets." Malfoy sighed and took the packets Hagrid handed him. He passed them out to the class, threw Harry's on the ground, and when he got to Maggie he gave her a pleading look and then handed her her packet. She looked in it and inside there was a note:
I'm really sorry about breakfast. It's for appearance, you know? We really need to talk! Meet me behind Hagrid's "house"
Draco Malfoy
Maggie sighed as she finished reading it, and looked up. Malfoy had disappeared, and everyone else sat on the grass taking notes on Hagrid's veela lecture. She ripped a piece of paper out of her notebook and wrote Hermione a note saying that she'd be back, and left it on Hermione's bag. Then quietly, she sneaked away.
A/N: I know this chapter was kind of short, sorry. Also, I had a question for you readers. Should I do long chapters or short ones? Long ones take longer for updates and short ones would be updated faster. So get back to me on that. I hope you still enjoy my story.
