Chapter 5
Eliza was walking down the hall, headed to her first class of the day: Potions. Of course she'd heard all about this class, and the teacher. Supposedly he was some wicked Slytherin overseer that had it in for all Gyffindors. 'Great way to start off the year, with a teacher that's gonna judge me right away on my house.' she thought as she turned the corner.
Bumping right into someone.
"HEY! How about watching where you're. oh hello there." The harsh voice suddenly turned very smooth and sweet once its owner realized whom he was speaking to.
"Well hello to you too, Draco. Malfoy." She emphasized both names as he did when they had first met.
"Tsk tsk, must we be so hostile? You don't even know me, you know."
"Neither do I want to." She spit out quickly, eager to get away from him and to her first class.
Instead of replying he merely bent down and gathered her books that she had dropped after their collision and then stood back up with books in hand.
"May I have the pleasure of escorting you to your next class?" He asked with a sweet smile that wasn't exactly comforting.
"No, but I may." A voice behind them interrupted and both Eliza and Draco turned to see who it was.
"Well well well, fancy seeing you here Weasley. Didn't you're mother ever teach you not to butt into other people's conversations. Oops, silly me, I forgot, she was too busy teaching you and all those loser brothers of yours how to knit those ugly sweaters you always wear. God knows you're family can't afford to buy any clothes." Draco sneered, losing any prior sweetness he had possessed.
Ron lunged for Draco but Eliza jumped up in front of him and put a hand on his chest, restraining him.
"Keep you're temper Ron, he's not worth it." Eliza glanced over at Draco who was still scowling at Ron. "Let's just go to Potions before we're late, ok?" Eliza realized that Ron's attention was not on her but on Draco still.
"RON!" She yelled loudly causing him to jump, "Let's. Go." She emphasized each word and then stalked over to Draco, grabbing her books out of his hand and then heading to class wondering why she hadn't let Ron clobber him when he had the chance.

"Ugh! Potions is TERRIBLE! Who does that man think he is anyway? He doesn't even know any of the Gryffindors, he's just judging us based on what color our stupid ties are!" Eliza threw herself on one of the couches in the common room across from Alexa who sighed and put down the book she was holding.
"I guess its times like these when I should be thankful I'm not in a house." Alexa said.
"Well, aren't you glad? You don't have to put up with all this crap from any teachers. Everyone loves you because you're the girl who stumped the sorting hat!" Eliza exclaimed, not meaning for it to sound harsh but unfortunately, it came out that way.
"Oh Lex, I'm sorry, I don't know what's up with me today, I've just been in a terrible mood since I ran into that horrible Draco Malfoy this morning. He is just so, UGH! There are no words bad enough to describe him."
"Hey it's cool, I know it's easy to get worked up over the small stuff. But let's just think, this time next week, we'll be on our way to Hogsmeade. Dean was telling me about how much fun it is, with all the little shops and everything. We'll have a blast then, I promise." Alexa gave her friend an encouraging hug then announced she was going down to lunch.
Eliza sat by herself for a few minutes, thinking about everything that had happened so far that day and decided it really wasn't worth fussing over and went to join her friends in the Great Hall.

Upon entering the Great Hall, Eliza was greeted by, well, by a very upset Slytherin.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? GOING AROUND WITH MY BOYFRIEND LIKE THAT!" A blonde haired girl in green robes stood in front of her, yelling her down and waving her arms wildly through the air.
Once she was done with her rant Eliza asked politely, "May I ask who you are? And also, who's you're boyfriend that I'm supposedly 'going around' with?"
The girl got an even more furious look on her face.
"I'm Luna. Morrison. And I just so happen to be DRACO. MALFOY'S. GIRLFRIEND!" She replied, rather indignantly.
'What is up with these Slytherins and their one word sentences?' Eliza thought before responding to the obviously very distressed girl.
"I can honestly tell you that I have no interest in your boyfriend whatsoever. Truthfully, he angers me, very, very much." She replied, still keeping her sweet attitude, though she really wanted to laugh out loud at this girls outburst.
"Oh, well, I just saw you in the hallway with him, and just assumed that you liked him. You know, since he's a Malfoy and all." She then started bragging about him and how important his family was to the wizarding society. 'I guess that's why he emphasized both his first and last name.' Eliza thought, still not quite sure why it was so important to him.
"Well, goodbye then" Luna said as she walked away towards the Slytherin table where, Eliza noticed, Draco was standing looking towards her and then at Luna with a menacing stare.
She gave a forced sweet smile to Draco and a flirty wave and headed towards her table where Alexa, Harry, Ron, Hermione and everyone else was seated.
"Well guys I've just had the most interesting experience."
