Chapter 3: Only One Girl
Once Draco's rib was fixed, the nurse made him stay and rest. Finally, at midnight, he was allowed to leave. He walked through the dark halls, thinking about how great it would be to have Maria on the team. When he walked into the common room, the first thing Draco saw was Maria, sitting on a couch by the fire. She was the only one in the common room, and she was doing her potions homework.
Draco walked over to Maria, and sat down next to her.
"Hey!" she said, looking up from her work. She put her book and paper on the coffee table in front of them and said, "How are you? Did the nurse fix your rib?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. What are you doing up?" Draco asked, looking at his watch.
"Once I left the infirmary, I went down to the field and found Ron. He and I talked, and I asked him out!" Maria said with a smile.
"That's great." Draco said with a fake smile. "So you guys are a couple now?"
"Yep! We're going to go out tomorrow!" Maria said with a smile. Draco and Maria started to talk about relationships, not caring about how late it was.
"I think that you should go out with Lavender." Maria said. Draco made a face, and she said, "What's wrong with Lavender?! She's pretty!"
"Yeah, but that's it. That girl has absolutely no brain, except the part that controls fashion. I could never have a decent conversation with her." Draco said.
Maria pouted and wrapped her arms around Draco's stomach. She laid her head on his chest and said, "Please! We could double date!"
"I don't think that Weasley even likes Lavender." Draco laughed, wrapping his arms around Maria, and resting his head on top of hers.
"Fine. What about Hermione?"
"Granger?" Draco laughed. "No thanks."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't like to go out with people who hate me, that's why." Draco laughed again. "Who else?"
"Ginny Weasley?"
Draco burst into laughter. "Do you know terrible that would be?!"
"What? She's smart, pretty, nice, funny. What's not to like?"
"That fact that her brother's would kill me if I even looked at her." Draco said. Maria named almost every girl in the school, but Draco kept saying that he wouldn't go out with them.
"Parvati?" Maria asked, an hour later.
"Nope." Draco answered.
"You are too picky!" Maria said. They were both laying on the couch next to each other. Maria had her arms around Draco's middle, and had her head on his chest. "Are you ever going to find a girl who you truly like?" Maria asked sleepily.
"I already have." Draco whispered, glancing at Maria. She was fast asleep. Draco kissed her forehead, and closed his eyes.
Draco woke the next morning, and looked down at the girl he had spent the night talking to. Maria was fast asleep, hugging against his chest. It was Saturday so Draco didn't have to wake her up, but he decided that people shouldn't see them on the couch together.
"Maria?" Draco whispered, nudging his friend. "Wakeup."
"Hmm?" she said, slowly opening her eyes. "Oh, hi." She said with a smile.
"Hi." Draco laughed. "You wanna go get some breakfast?"
"Sure." Maria said, getting up from the couch. "Can I change first?"
Once Maria and Draco walked down to the Great Hall, they were greeted by the rest of the school. Maria went to go talk to Ron, and Draco sat next to a few of his Slytherin friends.
"Did you hear about Maria and Ron?" One of Draco's friends asked him.
"Uhh, yeah." Draco said, not wanting to think about it. But that was a little hard to do, because everyone was talking about the couple. They all said how cute Ron and Maria were together, and how everyone knew that their relationship was going to last. This was too much for Draco, so he left the Great Hall, and walked to his room.
