Author's note: I'm sooo sorry guys! My laptop didn't want to let Microsoft Word work…. but I deleted some other documents and finally got it to work yesterday. So, today I've worked hard to get this chapter up. Thanks to: Duskfire 1954, _, Sonya Rivers, Bluebookbutterfly, Alicia TwinkleToes and hpfan32!
I do not own Harry Potter.
(((Breakfast)))
I looked down all four tables to the one furthest from me. A part of me longed to be sitting at that table, not the one I was at.
I looked down the table; it was so different from my usual table. I should have guessed it would, Slytherin's are pretty different then Gryffindors.
All the Slytherin's around Daco were typical Slytherins. None of them even acknowledged I was there, and if they did it was just to glare at me or to whisper, "Why's there a mudblood Gryffindor here?"
At the end of Breakfast I was ready to punch them all in the face. If it hadn't been for Draco and Adam, I probably would have. Adam, I noticed was the boy that Draco was with when he came to the hospital wing. He was actually very kind and actually knew that I was a human being too.
And, of course Draco was there too. He wasn't so keen to talking to me the whole time there. I ignored that factor, he must've just been embarrassed or whatever.
Pansy kept giving me an envious glare, but I tried to overlook her.
I saw that Hermione was at the Hufflepuff table, sitting next to and talking to Justin. What ever had possessed that girl to date him, I'll never know why. She seemed happy from where I was seeing her.
I laughed under my breath; one of us sitting with a group of fun-loving, cheerful Hufflepuffs, the other with a bunch of Slytherin's who didn't want me there.
"Oh, irony…." I mumbled to myself, no one would pay attention to what I was saying there anyways.
(((D.A. meeting)))
Harry announced that we would begin working on patrounouses, which were spells that fought off dementors.
The first day we tried, I couldn't get the spell right at all. I shut my eyes and thought about a happy memory…. I thought about my days spent with Draco. Talking to him, and him accepting me and talking like an old best friend.
Even thought the memory was happy, I couldn't get the spell right. Only a few people had gotten it so far, Hermione not including surprisingly. But still, I really wanted to get this spell down. Today wasn't the day though.
The next few D.A. meetings, I just could not get a patrounous to work. I kept thinking hard about Draco, and nothing would happen.
I was thinking about our first date, and then Fred backed up into me as I whispered, "Expecto Patronum!" I small mist of blue started, but it was gone as fast as it came.
That night, Harry had to go to Snape's office on Dumbledore's request for something called occlumency. We weren't sure why, but Harry obeyed and left later that night.
(((Hogsmeade a few weekend's later)))
Draco and I walked down the street next to each other. I noticed Harry and Cho Chang sitting in Madme Puddifoots, and I laughed to myself at Harry's hopelessness.
We sat down on a bench outside the Three Broomsticks, since the weather was pretty nice.
"So, where did you have to go the other night?" Draco asked me. I had had to leave him, to get to the D.A. meeting.
"Oh…well…" I wasn't sure if I should tell him. I knew I could trust Draco, but he was apart of Umbridge's student group, and I didn't think that Harry and everyone else would want me to tell him.
But, I knew I could trust him…so, why not? "Well, there's a group of people that are learning some spells and whatnot."
"Like against Umbridge's rule?" He asked smugly.
"Well…yeah, but I mean it's nothing bad or anything."
"Who's running it?"
I hesitated, "Harry is."
He scowled, but nodded.
I wasn't worried he'd tell anyone, I trusted him completely. He cared about me, he wouldn't tell anyone about it and get us all in trouble…deep trouble, mind you.
Later that night, Trelawny had been fired. No one was expecting it, but Umbridge fired her. Dumbledore, the kind man he was though, was going to let her still live at Hogwarts.
I sat in the common room the next night, doing the homework I had put off until Sunday.
"Hey, Haz." Fred said, sitting in the chair next to me.
"Oh, hi Fred." I said back, not looking up from my homework.
He looked at my curiously, his bright blue eyes sparkling at me. "So, how was your weekend?" He asked kindly.
I shrugged casually, "Good, yours?"
"Fine," He paused, "How's Malfoy been treating you?"
I looked up and smiled at him, "Great."
He looked at me, trying to see something behind what I was saying. He looked at me, with love and caring…too bad I wouldn't notice anything but friendship.
