_____________________________________________________________________________________
Finding a clear seat she sat down and the cheering faded as another student was called up
to the hat. The table cloth was a stunning blue at the table she was sitting at, it almost matched her
eyes in the winter. She waited for Ginny, hoping that she would be sorted into Lyrics house.
"Luna Lovegood!" Professor Mcgonagall looked down at her list and a small girl with
whitish blond hair, blue eyes and pale skin walked to the hat confidently. Lyric noticed a wand that had
been stuck behind the girls ear.
"Ravenclaw!" The hat called out, and the girl stood and walked over to Lyric.
"Can I sit here?" She asked, not waiting for an answer she sat down. Lyric just shrugged.
She felt disappointment as Ginny walked up to the hat and was sorted into Gryffindor. Soon the
Headmaster was speaking again. Lyric gasped as food appeared on all the plates around her.
"My names Luna Lovegood." The girl sitting next to her wasn't even looking at her though
she was talking to her as she spooned multiple foods onto her plate.
"Lyric Conners." Lyric replied spooning greenbeans onto her shinning silver plate. She
sipped some of the pumpkin juice that was in the gleaming goblet next to her plate. Even after she had
finished the drink she gasped as it refilled itself.
"Your muggle born aren't you?" Luna said turning to Lyric and disregarding her food for the
time being.
"Yeah, I never even knew that this world existed last year." Lyric answered.
"Oh, my dad runs the 'Quibbler', My mom used to work with spells." Luna said turning
back to her food.
"Oh...Why doesn't she anymore?" Lyric asked curiously.
"One of them went deadly wrong." Luna said with a false smile. Lyric opened her mouth the
say sorry but Luna held up a hand. "I know your sorry. No big." Luna gave a real smile and started
eating.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
After they finished eating the headmaster called for all the Prefects to lead the first years to
their rooms. A girl named Emily Diggins stood with a beaming smile and started leading them to their
room. Before they could get there they had to cross halls with the Slytherins. Lryic saw that the blond
she had met on the train had told his little, or more like extremely large, followers to go a head as he
fell back. He gave Lyric a smirk and made a right as his group made a left. Lyric watched suspiciously,
then turning to look at the Ravenclaw group to make sure no one was watching she followed him.
Which later she would most likely regret, she still didn't know the password to her room. She quietly
followed him keeping at least a half a hall away from him. His black robes were sweeping the floor, his
blond slicked back hair was gleaming in the poor light of the corridor. Her brows furrowed as he tickled
a pear on a large painting. This guy was nuts, she thought. Just as she was about to turn and walk
back from where she had come from the painting opened and inside she could see bright lights.
"I knew someone was following me." She had walked into the painting into what looked like
a large kitchen.
"Curiosity got the better of me." She replied curtly. His eyes didn't look cold like they had on
the train. They now had a fire in them. Malfoy shrugged his shoulders.
"Its just the kitchen." Malfoy said turning away from her and picking up a sharp looking
knife. Lyrics heart skipped a beat, she REALY didn't trust this guy. He smirked and sliced a green apple
in two. Laying down the knife he picked up the apple slice. It was just now that Lyric noticed the small
creatures, some of them were cleaning dishes, others were trying to hide from Malfoy. She guessed
they might have a reason, he didn't seem to have much mercy for others. He took a bight from the
apple and tossed the rest.
"So this is where you get snacks when you get a case of the munchies?" She asked picking
up a piece of fruit and laying it back down. She wasn't paying attention to Malfoy's movements and was caught of guard as warm lips pressed against her own. He tasted like apples she thought. Her first instinct was to push him away but it felt to welcoming. He pulled away and smirked. She didn't say
anything, shock she guessed. He turned away from her and walked out the painting without saying a
word.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
"So whats with that Draco guy?" Lyric asked Ginny and Luna as the walked to potions class.
"My brother says hes a real prat." Ginny said pulling her books tighter to herself. "He only
likes pure bloods and can't stand muggle borns. "Last year he told on Hagrid, and Hagrid had to get rid
of his pet dragon."
"His father is really rich." Luna said twirling her wand between her index finger and thumb.
"Oh...Is that all?" Lyric looked somewhat offended. Her parents were rich, and she didn't
exactly know if she would tell or not if someone had a dragon in her first year at school. Luna and
Ginny were looking at her as if she were sick.
"Are you feeling ok?" Ginny asked as they took seats next to each other in the stone cold
potion room. Lyric didn't know how she was going to answer. Luckily she didn't have to, a tall man
with greasy black hair and a pointed nose had walked in with a slam of the door.
"This, class, is your first potions lesson." He looked around the room at them all and then
started to finish. "Hopefully...you will succeed and, you all have your ingredients?" A small student in
front shivered as he finished digging in his bag and came out with none of his potions ingredients.
Snape closed his eyes momentarily.
The class went by extremely slow and they ended up with a hundred word essay on
moonbane. Now they had Herbology, two classes of it to be precise. Then lunch and A History of
Magic. She had parchments of homework to do and was already tired. Not to mention the double
Defence against the dark arts and charms she would have tomorrow. She sighed and stuck the fork in
her mashed potatoes swirling them around in the gravy. She stood up and walked out of the great
hall, wanting to head up to her room and spend some time with her little black fur ball named Magic.
She took a different corridor and blushed as she interrupted a kiss by a red head, most likely Ginny's
brother, and Hermione, she winked at Hermione, then found she hadn't been the only one who was
blushing. Hermione turned bright red and looked at her feet, the red headed boy's ears turned a ruby
shade. She walked up the stairs to the Ravenclaw common room. Before she could get there someone
tapped her on her shoulder.
"You just like to appear out of no where don't you." She asked rolling her eyes at the blond
second year in front of her. He smirked.
"What can I say,It keeps the whole mysterious man thing going."He said,she started walking past him.
"What,no kiss?"He asked, in mock disappointment.
"Well,call me old fashion but I don't kiss a guy who kisses and runs."She called back.She didn't hear his footsteps behind her,she felt her heart sink at the thought of him not following
her,because despite the stuff her friends said about him,she liked him. Maybe it was just because he
kissed her.
Then she herd his footsteps,then felt his hand on her arm. He spun her around,they were eye to eye (well almost,he was taller than she was). He had one of his
trade mark grins on his face.
"Why don't you tell me, Malfoy, why is it you make a big show about hateing muggle-borns." She let her blue eyes pierce his. "And then you kiss one?" The grin disappeared in a moments flash. Now it was her turn to grin. She didn't wait to hear his answer, just smiled and walked away from him and into her comon room. Once inside she laughed at his bemused expression.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Ginny, Lyric and Luna were all studying in the library when Ron, Harry and Hermione came
in quickly and pulled some books off of the shelf. Sitting at a table about a foot away they shared a
whispered conversation.
"Ron." Ginny walked over to her brother, who was Lyric realized, the boy who had been
kissing Hermione. "I want you to meet some friends of mine." Ron pulled Harry over with him and
Hermione followed.
"Lyric, Luna this is Ron, my brother, and Harry Potter." Ginny again turned a light pink color
while Luna looked Harry up and down and rested her eyes on the lightning bolt scare under the mop
of black hair.
"We've met." Lyric nodded to Ron and winked. He gave a lopsided grin and Hermione
blushed. Ginny looked confused and Harry was looking from Lyric to Ron to Hermione.
"Long story, and we need to get back to our discussion Harry-Ron." Hermione smiled and
turned back to the table that had all of their books. Ron turned quickly and followed them and Harry
smiled before slowly walking back to the table.
"Wow...Talkative bunch." Lyric said watching them. Ginny shrugged, Luna stuck her wand,
which she had been once again twirling between her fingers, back behind her ear.
"They're most likely planning some big adventure that were not aloud to know about."
Ginny explained half heartily as she turned back to their table.
"Do you fancy Harry, Ginny?" Lyric said with a smile. Ginny blushed deep crimson and Luna looked up from the magazine she had been reading intently to shine her eyes on Ginny.
"Of-of course I don't" Ginny replied matter of factly, she hid her face behind a large dusty
book. Lyric shrugged with a knowing smile and let the subject go. At that moment Draco walked into the library, this time he had his two gang members following him. He scowled as he saw Harry, Ron and Hermione and walked over to their table.
"You'll have some compitition on the Quidditch field this year Potter." Malfoy sneered at
Harry with intense cold eyes, Harry returned the stare without fault.
"Finally found a way to pay your way in, did you Malfoy?" Ron asked, his face was distorted
in disgust. Malfoy changed his gaze to Ron.
"Why don't you and your mudblood girlfriend go make out in some halls would you?"
Malfoy spat out, nodding to Hermione. He smirked as he heard some of the students gasp at the word
'mudblood'. He hadn't noticed Lyric behind him, but the look that she had on her face would have made anyone want to die...and she still didn't even know exactly what a mudblood was, apart from the fact that it was a bad name to call somebody. Ginny gasped as Ron stood up and pulled out a wand from inside his robes. Hermione groaned, the wand was broken in two, and was held together by spell-o-tape.
"Ron don't its not worth it, really.." She took his wand hand in hers. Ron was so red from
anger by now Lyric thought that he was going to explode, at least a little smoke coming out of the ears.
"Smart move Weasley." Malfoy grinned and turned away from the three and saw teal eyes,
angry teal eyes, staring into his own. He lowered his gaze but seemed to ignore her presence as he
walked out of the library.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
After finishing her potions homework she stepped out of the library, now alone because
Luna and Ginny had left to go to lunch about thirty minuets before. She started down the corridor to
the great hall.
"Lyric! Hey Lyric wait a minuet." She heard Dracos cool voice, but now it sounded
desperate.
"Why should I wait? A mudblood like myself doesn't deserve to be in the presence of a
pureblood." She responded coldly and kept walking. She rolled her eyes as his footsteps kept coming
behind her. Ginny had told her what a mudblood was, and although she didn't really care what people
called her, Hermione was her friend.
"I didn't know you were there Lyirc."
"Oh!" She stopped and turned to him a false cheeriness in her eyes, "Your going to call
my friends names behind my back,then!" She put her right hand over her heart and gave a false sigh of relief. "I feel SO much better." She rolled her eyes and turned back around to finish the walk to the
great hall. His footsteps still didn't stop. She groaned inside, didn't he give up? She turned around to
face him and he stopped walking.
"Is there a spell I have to cast to get you to leave me alone?" She asked, he grinned.
"What are you laughing about?" She asked, now annoyed.
"I don't think you really want me to leave you alone." He chimed in with a shrug.
"Oh yeah...right why in the world would I want a guy who makes fun of my friends, thinks
he's better then everyone else, and stalks me, to leave me alone?" She lightly slapped her forehead
with the palm of her free hand. "Just what kind of girl would I be?"
"You forgot charming and incredibly good looking." He added with a grin. She snorted.
"Who's mirror have you been looking in?" She asked curtly. He ignored her comment and
kept going.
"And don't forget great kisser." He finished looking her in the eye. She raised an eyebrow,
but said nothing. "Ah, and she doesn't deny it...the truth hurts." She couldn't help but smile at this, his
grin turned into a genuine smile. She turned around and walked into the great hall. He didn't come in
for some fifteen minuets after her.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Later that night she sat up in her bed with her wand, it was lit at the tip, thanks to the spell
they had learned earlier in charms. She was looking over her potions work that was due tomorrow.
+The plant moonbane is found in mountain or forest regions, and they are very rare. They are blue
white flowers that close during the day time but open at night. The flowers measure about a half inch in diameter and have 2-4 flowers blooming on a single plant. They are usually used in spells that
involve moonlight, transmutation, or used in potions to put people in a deep sleep. They are an
important component in lycanthropy cures. These plants do require minimal sunlight, but they can
grow in complete darkness. Moonbane is also a hallucinogenic drug that is distilled from the plant
itself. It is only grown in the Montrose Islands, to the south-west of the Fair Isles.+
Magic was asleep at her feet after she had dedicated two hours playing 'chase the lint ball'with the black feline, who was getting bigger every day. Next year she really needed an owl, but she wasn't sure if more then one pet was aloud. She would have to ask the Headmaster...Or possibly Draco. She smiled despite the fact she was still trying to be mad at him.
Unfortunately she found first hand that is was hard to be mad at Draco when he smiled at
you. Not smirked,not grinned but smiled. It was also Unfortunate that he only smiled when he knew that no one was looking. That would need fixing. Having finished all of her homework she pulled out a
book. She had already finished the one she had been reading on the train and was now reading
Hogwarts a History, so that she could find out more about her new life, and to see if maybe they aloud
more then one pet.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
It was early morning when Lyric awoke to a book on her chest and a cat on her face.
She looked at her watch and gasped,it was late and she needed to get down to breakfast.
She quickly got dressed and ran down the corridor to the Great Hall. When she finally got
there almost no one was eating.
She walked over to the Ravenclaw table and sat down. Fresh marmalade,toast and sausage. It was Saturday,no classes,instead the first Quidditch match of the season.
Lyric had never seen a Quidditch game but the way Ginny,Ron,Hermione and Harry went
on about it,it sounded like a great sport. Luna had claimed she had never liked sports,yet she always
bewitched her things to cheer for the team that she wanted to see take the cup.
Much to Lyrics relief it was Gryffindor Vs Slytherin,no Gryffindor Vs Ravenclaw yet...so no
arguments between Ginny,Luna or herself,like she would fight over a stupid sport anyway.
Although the downside was that her best friends house was playing against the boy she
was kissing with in kitchens.
She couldn't stop herself from smiling at that. It wasn't until she had finished off three
pieces of marmalade covered toast before Ginny rushed in,grabbed her by the arm yelling,"The game is starting,The game is starting." So she quickly grabbed one more piece of toast before allowing Ginny to yank her away from the Great Hall.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
They went into the stands and Lyric found herself next to a tall sixth year with long,dark
brown hair,deep raven eyes and a olive complextion.
"Lyric,this is Samantha"Ginny introduced,"Samantha this is Lyric." Samantha smiled,
"Hello,nice to meet you."She greeted.
"Hello."Lyric said. Samantha spotted someone on the field,
"Excuse me."She said and squeezed by the crowed of people and Lyric took her spot. She
soon saw Samantha run out onto the sidelines to a tall boy with a broomstick and maroon Quidditch robes. Samantha gave the boy a good-luck hug and a small kiss on the cheek, which he returned,
before Madame Hooch forced her off the field.
Ginny saw Lyric's gaze and smiled,"Samantha is Oliver Woods girlfriend. He's the Gryffindor
Quidditch Keeper and Captain. Sam's a niece of one of the Chudly Cannon's beaters."She explained.
Keeper,Chudly Cannon's,Beater all of these words were swimming in her head but it wasn't
long before she stringed together the meanings.
"I see."was all she said and got ready to watch the match. It was a extremely close match all
the way to the end, and the fact that they were flying hundreds of feet in the air made it all the more
fascinating.
"And the Gryffindor seeker Harry Potter catches the snitch!!" A boy she had found out to be
Lee Jordan a friend of Fred and George Weasley (Ginny's two older twin brothers) announced over the loud speaker. "Gryffindor wins by fifty points!" He called out, joy in his voice. Everybody but the
Slytherin's jumped into the air to shout out their praise. Lyric saw a raven haired girl, Samantha, run
towards the crowed and be swept up into the arms of the Gryffindor keeper. Ginny giggled because
Professor McGonagall had to sweep onto the field,and although they got scolded for kissing on the
field Lyric swore she saw a smile on the Professors face.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
It was about twenty minutes after the game and everyone was in their common rooms
discussing the game,except of course Slytherin,and Lyric.
Lyric,although she wasn't cursing and brooding like the Slytherins,wasn't celebrating in her
common rooms,instead walking down the hall toward the Library to catch up on some homework. A
little down the hall she saw Malfoy,still in Quidditch robes, walking down the other way.
"Draco!"She called and he stopped and looked at her,shocked that it was her trying to get
his attention,not the other way around this time.
"Nice game."She said quietly.
"Sure,except for the whole me losing to scar head part."He sneered.
"Why do you do that?"She asked
"Do what?"
"Call people names and make fun of them?"He was completely off guard by that but she
went on. "and besides,you only lost by fifty points,"Then she smiled,"not to mention you look super
cute in that uniform."
He smirked,"Don't I always look cute?"
"Don't push it."She said in a sing-song voice. At that he gave her one of his genuine smiles
and his eyes softend.
This kiss was different,unlike the first she wasn't cought off gaurd. Also,unlike the first,she
had no clue who kissed who. She couldn't remember if it was her or him...but at the moment she
decided it really didn't matter. The problem with this kiss was that it wasn't in the safety of the kitchens,
anyone who decided to go for a walk in the corridors could have seen them.
But due to the fact that that didn't seem to want to cross either hers or Malfoys minds right
now neither of them saw the smirking faces in the shadows of two very troublesome red headed twins.

After finishing her potions homework she stepped out of the library, now alone because
Luna and Ginny had left to go to lunch about thirty minuets before. She started down the corridor to
the great hall.
"Lyric! Hey Lyric wait a minuet." She heard Dracos cool voice, but now it sounded
desperate.
"Why should I wait? A mudblood like myself doesn't deserve to be in the presence of a
pureblood." She responded coldly and kept walking. She rolled her eyes as his footsteps kept coming
behind her. Ginny had told her what a mudblood was, and although she didn't really care what people
called her, Hermione was her friend.
"I didn't know you were there Lyirc."
"Oh!" She stopped and turned to him a false cheeriness in her eyes, "Your going to call
my friends names behind my back,then!" She put her right hand over her heart and gave a false sigh of relief. "I feel SO much better." She rolled her eyes and turned back around to finish the walk to the
great hall. His footsteps still didn't stop. She groaned inside, didn't he give up? She turned around to
face him and he stopped walking.
"Is there a spell I have to cast to get you to leave me alone?" She asked, he grinned.
"What are you laughing about?" She asked, now annoyed.
"I don't think you really want me to leave you alone." He chimed in with a shrug.
"Oh yeah...right why in the world would I want a guy who makes fun of my friends, thinks
he's better then everyone else, and stalks me, to leave me alone?" She lightly slapped her forehead
with the palm of her free hand. "Just what kind of girl would I be?"
"You forgot charming and incredibly good looking." He added with a grin. She snorted.
"Who's mirror have you been looking in?" She asked curtly. He ignored her comment and
kept going.
"And don't forget great kisser." He finished looking her in the eye. She raised an eyebrow,
but said nothing. "Ah, and she doesn't deny it...the truth hurts." She couldn't help but smile at this, his
grin turned into a genuine smile. She turned around and walked into the great hall. He didn't come in
for some fifteen minuets after her.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Later that night she sat up in her bed with her wand, it was lit at the tip, thanks to the spell
they had learned earlier in charms. She was looking over her potions work that was due tomorrow.
+The plant moonbane is found in mountain or forest regions, and they are very rare. They are blue
white flowers that close during the day time but open at night. The flowers measure about a half inch in diameter and have 2-4 flowers blooming on a single plant. They are usually used in spells that
involve moonlight, transmutation, or used in potions to put people in a deep sleep. They are an
important component in lycanthropy cures. These plants do require minimal sunlight, but they can
grow in complete darkness. Moonbane is also a hallucinogenic drug that is distilled from the plant
itself. It is only grown in the Montrose Islands, to the south-west of the Fair Isles.+
Magic was asleep at her feet after she had dedicated two hours playing 'chase the lint ball'with the black feline, who was getting bigger every day. Next year she really needed an owl, but she wasn't sure if more then one pet was aloud. She would have to ask the Headmaster...Or possibly Draco. She smiled despite the fact she was still trying to be mad at him.
Unfortunately she found first hand that is was hard to be mad at Draco when he smiled at
you. Not smirked,not grinned but smiled. It was also Unfortunate that he only smiled when he knew that no one was looking. That would need fixing. Having finished all of her homework she pulled out a
book. She had already finished the one she had been reading on the train and was now reading
Hogwarts a History, so that she could find out more about her new life, and to see if maybe they aloud
more then one pet.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
It was early morning when Lyric awoke to a book on her chest and a cat on her face.
She looked at her watch and gasped,it was late and she needed to get down to breakfast.
She quickly got dressed and ran down the corridor to the Great Hall. When she finally got
there almost no one was eating.
She walked over to the Ravenclaw table and sat down. Fresh marmalade,toast and sausage. It was Saturday,no classes,instead the first Quidditch match of the season.
Lyric had never seen a Quidditch game but the way Ginny,Ron,Hermione and Harry went
on about it,it sounded like a great sport. Luna had claimed she had never liked sports,yet she always
bewitched her things to cheer for the team that she wanted to see take the cup.
Much to Lyrics relief it was Gryffindor Vs Slytherin,no Gryffindor Vs Ravenclaw yet...so no
arguments between Ginny,Luna or herself,like she would fight over a stupid sport anyway.
Although the downside was that her best friends house was playing against the boy she
was kissing with in kitchens.
She couldn't stop herself from smiling at that. It wasn't until she had finished off three
pieces of marmalade covered toast before Ginny rushed in,grabbed her by the arm yelling,"The game is starting,The game is starting." So she quickly grabbed one more piece of toast before allowing Ginny to yank her away from the Great Hall.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
They went into the stands and Lyric found herself next to a tall sixth year with long,dark
brown hair,deep raven eyes and a olive complextion.
"Lyric,this is Samantha"Ginny introduced,"Samantha this is Lyric." Samantha smiled,
"Hello,nice to meet you."She greeted.
"Hello."Lyric said. Samantha spotted someone on the field,
"Excuse me."She said and squeezed by the crowed of people and Lyric took her spot. She
soon saw Samantha run out onto the sidelines to a tall boy with a broomstick and maroon Quidditch robes. Samantha gave the boy a good-luck hug and a small kiss on the cheek, which he returned,
before Madame Hooch forced her off the field.
Ginny saw Lyric's gaze and smiled,"Samantha is Oliver Woods girlfriend. He's the Gryffindor
Quidditch Keeper and Captain. Sam's a niece of one of the Chudly Cannon's beaters."She explained.
Keeper,Chudly Cannon's,Beater all of these words were swimming in her head but it wasn't
long before she stringed together the meanings.
"I see."was all she said and got ready to watch the match. It was a extremely close match all
the way to the end, and the fact that they were flying hundreds of feet in the air made it all the more
fascinating.
"And the Gryffindor seeker Harry Potter catches the snitch!!" A boy she had found out to be
Lee Jordan a friend of Fred and George Weasley (Ginny's two older twin brothers) announced over the loud speaker. "Gryffindor wins by fifty points!" He called out, joy in his voice. Everybody but the
Slytherin's jumped into the air to shout out their praise. Lyric saw a raven haired girl, Samantha, run
towards the crowed and be swept up into the arms of the Gryffindor keeper. Ginny giggled because
Professor McGonagall had to sweep onto the field,and although they got scolded for kissing on the
field Lyric swore she saw a smile on the Professors face.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
It was about twenty minutes after the game and everyone was in their common rooms
discussing the game,except of course Slytherin,and Lyric.
Lyric,although she wasn't cursing and brooding like the Slytherins,wasn't celebrating in her
common rooms,instead walking down the hall toward the Library to catch up on some homework. A
little down the hall she saw Malfoy,still in Quidditch robes, walking down the other way.
"Draco!"She called and he stopped and looked at her,shocked that it was her trying to get
his attention,not the other way around this time.
"Nice game."She said quietly.
"Sure,except for the whole me losing to scar head part."He sneered.
"Why do you do that?"She asked
"Do what?"
"Call people names and make fun of them?"He was completely off guard by that but she
went on. "and besides,you only lost by fifty points,"Then she smiled,"not to mention you look super
cute in that uniform."
He smirked,"Don't I always look cute?"
"Don't push it."She said in a sing-song voice. At that he gave her one of his genuine smiles
and his eyes softend.
This kiss was different,unlike the first she wasn't cought off gaurd. Also,unlike the first,she
had no clue who kissed who. She couldn't remember if it was her or him...but at the moment she
decided it really didn't matter. The problem with this kiss was that it wasn't in the safety of the kitchens,
anyone who decided to go for a walk in the corridors could have seen them.
But due to the fact that that didn't seem to want to cross either hers or Malfoys minds right
now neither of them saw the smirking faces in the shadows of two very troublesome red headed twins.
