Chapter 10
Draco POV
I walked from my dormitory to the common room. I stood by the stairwell to wait for Arella to enter the room. Blaise came down the stairs and smirked at me "Waiting on Arella?" I smirked back at him and replied "Actually, Yes I am." He laughed looking at the stairs. Little did I know she was right behind him, she heard everything. She smiled at me "Now why is it you were waiting on me?" I smiled back at her, I wasn't sure how to reply to that but I had to "I wanted to walk with you again." She glanced at Blaise, for he was laughing at us she looked back at me and smiled again "I would love to walk with you again, Malfoy." I turned to Blaise and smirked, I noticed Arella grab my arm.
I glanced at her and began to speak "Wicked, I just hope we don't run into Pansy again today." She laughed and nodded as we walked out of the opened portrait, Blaise followed behind us. We reached the great hall doors and I noticed Pansy and groaned. I glanced at Arella, she shrugged. We walked into the Great hall without being bothered by Pansy, surprisingly. We sat down at the table, Arella began to eat I looked at Blaise and then at my plate. I was wondering if she had read my mind before DADA. I didn't think she would have, I glanced at her and smiled to myself.
She happened to look at me at the same time, she smiled. I was about to mention something about DADA. I thought against that quickly, I didn't want her to get mad at me. We finished eat and began to walk to Herbology, I hadn't seen Ginny yet and Arella and Ginny were normally together. "Arella, did you want to wait on Ginny?" she glanced at me and thought for a second. "She told me that she would meet me in Herbology." I nodded at her understandingly, Blaise smiled.
I wasn't quite sure what he was smiling about I looked at him "Is there something you need to tell us Blaise?" He shook his head; I laughed a little then turned and glanced in front of me. We enter Herbology, and pretty much ran into Ginny. Blaise was the first one to speak "Ginny." He smiled at her, she smiled back "Blaise." Arella and me looked at each other and laughed. We then approached our seats.
Arella POV
After a very dreary Herbology class, it's never been one of my favorite classes. I mostly enjoyed DADA, especially with Professor Snape as the teacher this year. Professor Sprout dismissed us to leave for our next class, my next class was charms another one of my favorites. I quickly left I went to the left of the door and leaned up against the wall. I seen Draco come out of the classroom and look for me. I walked up behind him and tapped his shoulder "Hello, DRACO." I yelled in his ear I laughed seeing him flinch. "Why hello, Arella" he smiled at me and I smiled back at him.
I walked beside him and tried making conversations with him "How are you? Haven't seen you in a while." He smirked at me and began to speak "I'm good. You just seen me like three minutes ago." I laughed and watched him start to laugh "I know I was just trying to get a conversation started." I smiled as we enter Charms. I sat down in the middle of the class, Draco sat down beside me. "Well it works for me." He laughed as Professor Flitwick walked to the front of the class and announced what charm we would be using, the summoning charm.
We were supposed to summon something we missed for home. I thought for a moment and nothing came to mind. I sat there and watched as Draco just sat there and looked at me I shrugged. "I don't miss anything from home; hence that's why I'm here." He nodded at me, and smirked. "I defiantly don't miss anything. Not from home anyway." I thought for a moment wondering how bad his life at home had to be for him not to miss anything, and that I should probably summon something.
I thought for a moment and then remembered I had a favorite pen, but I left it at Ginny's. So I summoned it. Draco looked at me and laughed. "It wasn't from home, I left at Ginny's before school started." I smirked at him and picked up my pen he glanced at the pen. "Wow, nice pen." He smiled and I could tell he was thinking about something. Then something appeared on in front of him. It was a stuffed animal, I laughed I could tell my face was turning red. "Don't laugh!" he kind of yelled.
I glared at him "Now why would you yell at me." I looked at him and he shrugged "Because you were laughing." I laughed again and smiled at him. "I'm sorry Draco." He looked at me a little confused "You called me Draco for the second time today." He smiled and I nodded "Well you haven't called me Parkinson yet so, I figured you earned it." I laughed and got up when Professor Flitwick dismissed us. Draco followed me to the Great Hall for lunch.
Draco POV
I sat with Arella in Herbology I didn't think she would sit with me in all our classes but she did. When we were dismissed she left pretty quickly I stayed in the classroom for a few minutes. I noticed Hermione and Harry sitting affectionately close. I glared at Harry when he looked at me, then I walked out the door. I looked around for Arella, I couldn't see her. Then I felt someone touch my shoulder before I could turn around someone yelled in my ear "Hello, DRACO!" I flinched a little, I didn't know who it was but then I thought of course its Arella. "Why hello, Arella." I smiled at her and she smiled back, I enjoyed seeing her smile it was way better than her glare.
She walked up beside me and spoke "How are you? Haven't seen you in a while." I smirked at her and laughed to myself "I'm good. You just seen me like three minutes ago." She started laughing which made me laugh and she started to speak again "I know I was just trying to get a conversation started." She smiled at me as we enter Professor Flitwick's class, Charms; Arella sat down at the table in the middle of the classroom I sat down besides her hoping she wouldn't mind. "Well it works for me." I laughed at her as the Professor walked to the front of the class and told us that we had to use the summoning charm to summon something we missed from home.
I looked at Arella and noticed she wasn't summoning anything. I had no clue what to summon, for I didn't miss anything at home. I looked at her and she shrugged "I don't miss anything from home; hence that's why I'm here." I nodded understanding what she meant and smirked "I defiantly don't miss anything. Not from home anyway." I watched her as she sat there in thought and seen something appear on table, it was pen a fluffy pink pen. I wondered how it was hers I didn't think she like pink. I looked at her and laughed thinking about it "It wasn't from home, I left at Ginny's before school started." I watched as she picks up the pen I glanced at it and said "Wow, nice pen."
I smiled and began to think of what I could, should summon. The first thing that came to my mind the only thing other then my wand I've had since I started at Hogwarts, a stuffed animal my mom Narcissa gave me before I left. Arella started to laugh her face was turning blood red she was laughing so hard. "Don't Laugh!" I didn't really mean to yell, she glared at me "Now why would you yell at me." She looked at me I just shrugged "Because you were laughing." She laughed again, I smiled at her and she started to speak again "I'm sorry Draco." I looked at her a little confused. She called me Draco. She actually called me Draco. "You called me Draco for the second time today." I smiled and she nodded at me "Well you haven't called me Parkinson yet so, I figured you earned it." I smiled to myself as Professor Flitwick dismissed us. I quickly followed Arella as we left for the Great Hall.
