Christmas was coming fast, snow covered the ground and the Fred and George were getting in trouble for throwing snowballs at the back of Professor Quarrel's turban. Nobody could wait until holiday; Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Percy, and I were staying at Hogwarts because mum and dad are going to visit Charlie in Romania.
Today in potions, Draco was going on and on about going on holiday. "I do feel so sorry for people who are not wanted at home for Christmas", I rolled my eyes and continued to measure my powered spine of lion fish. Draco had been particularly nasty to Harry and Ron because he was so upset sytherin had lost, he kept telling everyone that a wide-mouthed tree frog would be replacing Harry next as seeker; no one really found this funny so Draco had gone back to insulting Harry's family status.
No matter what I said to him he was still in a foul mood every day, which I think was the worst for me because I had to ender several rants about Harry and the rest of the Gryffindors. I know what you're thinking, im a traitor to my house and my friends because I hang out with a sytherin, but Draco's a really good person when you get to know him. He can be sweet, funny, and really nice, he just has to like you to act like that, and he doesn't seem to like a bunch of people other than me.
When we left the dungeon after potions, they found a large fir tree blocking the corridor ahead. Hagrid was trying to move it but it appeared to be very heavy. "Hey Hagrid, want some help?" Ron asked, sticking his head through the branches. Hagrid shrugged it off saying "nahh I'm alright Ron, thanks". I looked and saw Draco and his friends stopping behind us. "Would you mind moving then" Draco said coldly to harry and Ron, ignoring me. "Are you trying to earn some extra gold Weasley? You hoping to become the gamekeeper yourself when you leave Hogwarts? Course that hut of Hagrid's must seem like a palace to what your family's used to".
I blushed and scowled at Draco for bringing me into this fight. Then I saw Ron jump on Draco, "No! Ronald! Please don't" I yelled, trying to pull Ron off of Draco. "WEASLEY!" Snape bellowed, then Ron jumped up from Draco, I heard a bunch of buzz in my ear, but I was really only focused to see if Draco was o.k. I asked him with my eyes, but he just glared in return, my blood turned to ice and I turned to see Snape gone and Ron and Harry looking mad.
I fled, making an excuse about homework, and went to the library. I didn't see Draco until I traveled deeper and deeper into the shelves. He was pacing and I saw a mark on the side of face, he could not be happy right now. He finally saw me and sent me a withering glare. I glared back and said "I don't know what you're so mad about; you insulted my family and my brother defended us! Why did you have to bring me into the argument, you were insulting me at the same time!".
He glared again and sat down with a huff, he was obviously pouting. "You're such a baby sometimes!" I complained, finally sitting down and pulling out my charms homework, after about 30 minutes of working I heard a small voice. "I'm sorry rose" it said, I looked up to see Draco looking sort of embarrassed, I smiled and said "I forgive you" we went on as normal and finished out homework early.
We were leaving when I spotted Hermione, out of the corner of my yes. "Ahh…" I moaned pulling Draco behind a shelve. "What?" he snapped. I pointed at Hermione and he nodded, I walked out first and started talking to Hermione, Draco then proceeded to walk past us sneering. Hermione glared back and then returned talking to me, I let out a sigh; we had gotten away with it.
