Hogwarts Sweetheart

~ Chapter Three ~

Draco was busy writing out his mid-year papers at the library. He paused when he heard two familiar voices quarrel.

"Thanks a lot Ron! Now I have to write fifty lines just because you were trying to play footsies with me!" he heard an angry Hermione say.

"Hey! You're not the only one. Besides it was just Divination, who really cares about that subject!" Ron debated.

Draco snorted and continued with what he was doing but he turned around when he heard an oddly familiar laugh. It was Elise with Ron and Hermione and she seemed to rather amused by their argument.

"Will you two stop it?" she laughed "I think we're here to be discussing our assignments, not who-got-who-into-trouble."

"Fine, but it was still Ron's fault!" stated Hermione.

The argument started once again and Elise just sighed and looked around the library. She realised Draco was sitting at the other end of the library and started to make her way towards where he was.

"I'll be back," Elise said quietly.

As she made her way towards Draco she hadn't realised that Ron and Hermione had stopped their argument and had their eyes on her every movement.

"What are you doing here? And where's Crabbe and Goyle?" she asked.

Draco looked up from his work and smiled at her.

"Doing my mid-year papers and who says that Crabbe and Goyle have to follow me around all the time" he said giving her a hug "Anyway, what are you doing with Weasel and Granger?"

Elise tried to hit him across the head but he ducked just in time. She gave him a glare and attempted again but still missed.

"I'm finishing my assignments with Ron and Hermione. It would be nice if you'd use their first names", she said disapprovingly.

"It's not like you call Crabbe and Goyle, Vincent and Gregory", Draco argued.

"That's a totally different story. It'll only send shivers down my spine if I ever address them by Vincent and Gregory", she said dully, "anyway I'll be off now. See you at dinner"

She gave him a hug around the neck and made her way back to where Ron and Hermione were. Draco shrugged and got back to his papers. He suddenly realised that Elise's name was the last word he had written on his paper. He quickly scribbled it out and looked around to make sure nobody had seen it. *What am I doing? * He thought *Do I actually like her *.

Elise was walking back to the Gryffindor Tower and stopped before the portrait of the fat lady. She was about to tell her the password when the door opened and Harry crashed into her and toppled over her. He had fallen on top of her and both of them had stopped moving and started staring at each other. Harry's lips were moving towards Elise's but the moment was ruined.

"Please, don't start getting lovey-dovey in front of me," cried the fat lady, "Mr Weasley and Miss Granger has done that in front of me countless times, it was amusing at first but now it's rather disturbing."

Elise blushed and Harry scrambled to his feet and he pulled her up as she brushed dirt off her robes.

"Sorry!" they both said in unison.

Harry hurried off to the library as Elise quickly stepped into the portrait hole. Both of them were still blushing furiously. They didn't even realise they had company. Draco was watching afar, giving Harry murderous stares as he watched him hurry down the Grand staircase. *How dare that filthy Scar-face touch or even try to kiss Elise* Draco thought hotly *He's going to pay! *
