Chapter 4
Draco proceeded down the corridor, to the Slytherin common room. He entered, slightly upset, and saw Caroline sitting peacefully in a chair. Her skirt had moved up on her thigh, showing a little more leg than usual, and she was completely unaware of it. She turned the page of her book, still unaware of her skirt or Draco's presence in the room. Draco began to walk towards the chair where she was sitting, patting his robe pocket confidently. He continued to the chair, stood behind the chair, and looked over at the words in her book. She was still unaware of his presence. He leaned gently over the side of the chair and kissed Caroline on the cheek. Caroline screamed in terror, jumped out of her seat, and smacked Draco with the book several times.
"OW, IT'S ME!" roared Draco in pain. "Oh" said Caroline, finally seeing who the intruder was "sorry". "Are you okay? Can I get you something? Ice, water, liquor?" said Caroline through her laughter. "No" said Draco grumpily.
"Well, I am sorry. " said Caroline with a bit of a pout. Maybe he would stop being grumpy and ask her what she wanted to hear.
"I wanted to ask you something" he said, in spite of himself.
"Yes" said Caroline eagerly
"Will you. would you.. can you. are you still.. " said Draco hesitantly
"Spit it out" demanded Caroline
"Wannabemygirlfriendplease" he said quickly "Unless, you don't want to. I don't have a problem with that..."
"Shut up!" Caroline said as she cut him off. If he kept talking he was going to take back the offer and Caroline definitely did not want that.
"What?" said Draco in surprise. No one ever told him to shut up, he was not expecting Caroline to tell him to shut up.
"Yes, of course, duh" finished Caroline as she smiled at him. "But I have one request, you do not try to wean me off of my muggle books" she said devilishly.
"Fine" said Draco, and they embraced.
It was not a nice long one like Caroline had come to enjoy, but a short quick one, because much of the Slytherin House was entering the common room from supper.
Caroline and Draco left the common room separately, but they met up at a certain spot near the library and enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
***
Caroline and Draco walked down the corridor, hand in hand, despite the evil looks from many of the Slytherin girls.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione stopped and stared in utter amazement.
"It.. what? Why? When?" stuttered Ron
"How?.." said Harry
"Eeew" finished Hermione
"When did that happened?" asked Harry jealously. He did not like the fact that Caroline and Draco were an "item". He wanted Caroline for himself, he admitted bitterly to himself. He couldn't believe his eyes, and apparently neither could the rest of the school.
"This should make for a great potions class" said Ron sarcastically.
"It definitely will" said Hermione.
Harry couldn't help feeling anger towards Malfoy. Caroline was the thing that Harry wanted the most in this world, and the thing he could have the least of.
***
Caroline enjoyed the attention that she was receiving. She especially enjoyed the stares of jealousy she was getting from the girls. There was one thing that bothered her though, Harry Potter. He was a bit of dork she admitted, but in a nice way. He was sort of, in a twisted, good boyish way, cute. She had noticed him noticing her and she did not mind, surprisingly, in the least. She knew that Draco didn't like Harry, but she knew that it was probably because he was a good boy. There was another thing bothering her though, Draco said that his father was a Death Eater. Caroline utterly loathed Death Eaters. Most of Slytherin house had family that at one point belonged to the dark side, Caroline didn't seem to fit in, especially considering her father was fighting against Voldemort. She was considering switching houses. She felt that the nasty sorting hat had definitely made a mistake, but what could she do? She was going to consult her beads when she got to her room later.
