yay commentary! (: okay, so this is chapter 13, and i'm introducing a new OC. Her name is Evelyn. she's cute, but i might change her personality a little. . . anyways, this is a DRACO chapter, so please enjoy. also, r&r because it makes me smile when you do. (:

The next morning, I woke up and dressed slowly. I really had no intention to be nice to anyone. To me, it was pointless to even try to be up and around like normal. I had essentially been shot down without even asking her out. I was just kind of 'whatever' about the whole day. Crabbe, Goyle, and I walked down to the Great Hall, ate breakfast, and began to walk out when I saw her.

She was sitting at the Ravenclaw table, eating alone. She was absolutely stunning. Her shoulder length brown hair was stick straight, but not at all like Pansy's. I later found out that her eyes were the prettiest shade of brown imaginable. They weren't completely brown, they were rimmed in brown, with lighter shades of gold inside. This time, I was almost certain it was love. Okay, maybe not, but whatever.

"Goyle, who is that?" I asked as we walked past. I caught a wiff of the perfume she was wearing, and it smelled like lavender. I loved lavender. It was my favorite scent.

"Uh, well, I think her name is Evelyn Jones. She's a third year though, she might be hard to talk to." Goyle answered, sounding in awe. I realized he had his eye on her too. "She's a pure blood." he mentioned. "And she always smells of lavender. . ."

"Thanks." I said, "I'll catch up to you guys, go ahead to class." I ran back to the common room to get a piece of parchment and a quill. I was not going to let this one slip away. I mean, all of my favorite things wrapped up in one? How could I not be sprinting at the chance? And, besides, she would please father. After all, she is a pure blood. He never said she had to be a Slytherin.

I wrote her a little note. It was kind of sweet, and a little forceful, but that's me. After all, I am a Malfoy. I grabbed my things for class and ran back to the Great Hall. Thankfully, Evelyn was just finishing her breakfast when I came in. I strode over to her, and handed her the note. "My name is Draco Malfoy," I said, smiling. "Please reply to this note and return it to me."

"Okay." She said simply, smiling as well. "Bye." She got up and walked out of the Hall. I watched her walk out of the Hall, and then continued to stare after her. Then after a few minutes, I realized that I was to be in class. I sprinted out of the Hall and got into my class just in time. The professor looked at me, and just motioned to my seat in the back of the room.

I was in a daze for most of the morning, since I didn't have a class with the Ravenclaws until very late in the afternoon. I didn't expect her to return it at lunch, but she did. She handed me the note with a little wink and went and sat down in her spot, a ways away from the rest of them. I opened the note and began to smile. Pansy had seen the whole exchange and came over to talk to me.

"What was that all about?" she asked, her tone filled with jealousy. She pouted her lips out and squinted her eyes at Evelyn. Oh man, if basilisks could take forms of people, I swear to you, Pansy could have been one, I mean, she was ugly enough.

"She was just giving me this note back." I answered truthfully. I didn't care what Pansy thought of her, Evelyn was going to be mine. We already had a date set up. And I wasn't going to try and date her just to make Eliza jealous, if that's what you're thinking. Well, maybe I was a little, but I really did like Evelyn.

So, all through the rest of the day, I fantasized about Evelyn, which some would term as obsessive, but that stuff is kind of in my nature. Even during the class that I had with Eliza, I unconsciously ignored her. I mean, technically I didn't mean to. I wanted her to notice me too, but I was way more into Evelyn now.

After class, I met Eve in the hallway. "Hello." I said, walking next to her. "How was class?" We walked down the hallway, a little ways apart, for I didn't want her to think that I was trying to be all over her already, but I wasn't. I mean, yeah I'm a Malfoy, but I do have some manners.

"It was good." She said, turning to face me, her brown eyes sparkling at the sight of me. "I didn't really do anything, I sat there and doodled." She opened the notebook on top of her stack and showed me. "Just normal stuff." She said.

"Wow, those are really good." I said, after she closed the notebook. "Do you draw like that all the time?" I asked, as we had to part ways. I was amazed that she was such a good artist, and at only 13! This girl was truly stunning, in ever sence of the word. I now knew that I was absolutly and utterly in love with Evelyn.

"Yeah, drawing is my passion." She said, winking as she walked into the Ravenclaw common room. I stopped dead in the hallway as I tried to imagine what could have been meant by the wink. Again, I got lost in thought, and so I had to run down the hallway to catch up to people. "Well, at least I know that I'm never going to get fat. . ." I thought to myself.

I met up with Crabbe and Goyle and we walked to our common room. I could tell Goyle was mad at me, but I didn't care. I was (almost) with Evelyn, and I was happy. That doesn't happen very often, even when Father isn't home. I needed to write a new letter to father. I was going to have to tell him that I would be bringing Eve instead of disgusting Pansy. And I was going to have to invite Eve before I could write to father. I had a lot to do before the holidays.
