Vanessa was somewhat worried. Draco had missed every class they had
together that day, including Potions, which he loved. She wondered if he
was sick or hurt, then dismissed that thought from her mind, then
concentrated on her Divination homework.
Draco stopped banging his head on a bookcase. He was annoyed and tired. Not a good combination to begin with, but to top it all off, an illustration in a book about dating mishaps had called his one for the record book and laughed uncontrollably. He could hear the muffled laughter now. He stomped away from the shelves and sat down at the table again. He looked at his watch, and laughed. He hadn't realized he spent the whole day here, he mused comically. Then he realized that he had a double potions class that afternoon.
"Oh crap!" he muttered, then he got up and trudged back to the common room, not looking forward to what awaited him.
Vanessa was putting her parchment away, when she noticed a crowd circled around somebody. Intrigued, she strolled over and managed to hear snippets of the conversation, but couldn't see or tell from the voice who it was.
"Yes, it is a match made in heaven.. Of course he is." Then she laughed happily and excused herself to her dormitory. As she left, Vanessa saw the mystery person was Alexa Dunne, the girl who had been making out with Draco the other night in front of the common room. She edged into the crowd which was still mulling what Alexa had said.
"Yes, she says that he is absolutely wonderful. He is everything a girl could want, from what she said."
Vanessa spoke up. "What did she say? I missed it." She added a smile and tried to look genuinely curious.
"Well, to begin with he is hopeless romantic, which is sexy as anything." The others nodded in agreement with this. "And he just can't stand to be away from her, and writes her notes during class. And he doesn't hide his feelings." The girls all sighed in unison. "He's perfect."
Vanessa rolled her eyes and wandered away. He didn't love Alexa; she could see in his eyes when they kissed. Plus, the fact that his eyes meant he wasn't focused on Alexa or the task at hand. Sighing, she allowed the girl one thing. 'Alexa had gotten Draco, and I haven't,' she thought dismally.
Draco muttered the password and entered his common room. As he expected everyone was busy jinxing somebody for stealing a quill or cursing them off for copying notes. The normal activities stopped when Crabbe and Goyle came running up to greet him. Everyone in the room started asking him where he had been and what he had been doing, and was he cheating on his new girlfriend already, or was he making some potion to kill Potter as he had threatened the other day. He threw up his hands in defeat and retreated to his dormitory.
Vanessa was staring at the ceiling, from her four poster bed, thinking about Draco, the only thing her mind would allow lately. Draco was staring at the ceiling in the exact same position, except about 2 stories under ground. 'What is she thinking at this moment, I wonder.' He let these thoughts take over his mind so fully, that he didn't notice Crabbe and Goyle come in.
"Draco," Crabbe uttered this word, and it was a struggle, seeing as his vocabulary was so limited.
"What you idiot? And if you are going to ask where I was today, don't bother." Then Draco rolled over and listened to Crabbe grunt at Goyle and leave. A sigh escaped his lips and he went back to his thoughts.
