Your P.O.V.
By the time Christmas Break rolled around, I had learned so many new spells. Susan and I were one of the few who had to stay. It felt like Hogwarts was falling apart.
After break, in Charms, we had to study a certain charm with a partner. I hope I would get paired with Susan. But that didnt happen. I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with me. I got paired with Draco. I really thought Professor Flitwick knew we broke up because it was all people talked about in 5th year. And I know teachers talk about student drama.
I moved my stuff, and sat next to Draco. We didnt speak until we had to.
"Meet me by our- I mean the willow tree." He said looking embarrassed.
I pretended I didnt notice.
"Alright." I reply.
After all my classes, I sit down at the base of the tree. We got assigned the charm accio. It was a common one, and not that exciting, but it would be pretty easy.
Draco arrives, and throws his books down. We work for a while.
"Last question is...what would you use this charm for?" I said.
"You would use it for summoning something you want." he said.
I wrote it down.
"I would summon cupcakes." I say. "Or you know what would be even better? Mini cupcakes! They are so cute! Dont you think?"
He laughed.
"Sure, cupcakes are great." he said with a smile.
It's been a while since I've seen him happy. Lately, he has been looking more healthy than last year. He was paler than usual, and got very skinny.
We now met under the tree like we used to. It wasnt awkward. But we often got weird stares. Everyone heard what had happened last year. About his task. Rumors were hurtful, but I ignored them the best I could.
"Why would you hang out with a Death Eater?"
"She might be an Death Eater."
"A Hufflepuff and a Slytherin...he is probably using her."
"She must be stupid to be near Malfoy."
I heard them daily, but it doesnt matter. He isnt evil. Just broken.
