Chapter 8
Sit down, loose yourself in thought
Then you might find out it's all we've got
Take a chance, the future's in your hands
Make it what you can before your time has reached the end
Tegan looked up at Draco who was writing very rapidly on his parchment. Draco looked up at her smiling slightly and Tegan looked back down at her paper. She closed her eyes and wished the butterflies that were in her stomach would go away. Today was the day there project would end and now she was starting to like Draco. She was surprised she could ever come to terms with that especially since she used to hate him. But Tegan believed he changed for the better. Maybe it was a good thing he found out about her secrets. He seemed to be more aware of what he said and how he treated people. He was even semi-nice to Harry which surprised Tegan the most. Tegan continued writing down the answers to questions as she felt a pair of eyes on her. She looked up and there eyes connected for a few seconds until Draco looked back down. Tegan smiled to herself. If there was anything that could get too her the most it was his eyes. It was the way his eyes expressed so many emotions at once. She loved it because now she knew that Draco almost wore his heart on his sleeve when he was around her. She sighed lightly knowing that it would soon be over and he would probably going back to being that annoying fly. She hoped he wouldn't do that too her again but she knew it was too good to be true. She couldn't change him, she was surprised he was acting differently at all. But boys like Draco couldn't be changed. They were too good to act differently then before. She stopped writing for a second and just watched him. She watched how his eyes squinted slightly when he read what he wrote. She watched as he would lick his lips as he tried to find the write words to right down. Also, she watched the movements of his hand through his hair. She noticed that whenever he was confused he would sigh lightly and grip his hair a little. Then when the confusedness passed his hand would start to run through his hair slowly once again. Tegan shook her head trying to get the thoughts of Draco out of her mind. She couldn't believe that she had analyzed him so much. She continued writing for a short second and her eyes went to his hands once again. She couldn't held but notice how the quill fit perfectly in his hand. She started to wonder if there hands would fit perfectly like that. She coughed a little at the thought and Draco looked up at her. She saw a small smirk play at the edge of his lips.
" I know I'm handsome Tegan but you don't have too choke over me" Draco said and Tegan just smiled.
" How do you know I was choking over you? Maybe I was looking at some other guy" Tegan said and noticed Draco's eyes mist over for a second then return back to normal.
" Maybe you don't notice how good looking I am right now. But you will soon" Draco said as he smirked again and went back to his work. Tegan only rolled her eyes sarcastically. Too bad Draco didn't know she did notice how good looking he was. The bell rang for all the students to get too there classes and Tegan closed the library book. Draco finished up a few words on his parchment and smiled happily as he stretched. Tegan's eyes scanned over Draco in his stretching position and she felt a sudden blush come to her cheeks. She looked away quickly as she picked up her bag. Draco put there parchments together and picked up Warren. Draco saw the look on Tegan's face and felt the same way. Warren had brought the two of them together and it was time to give him back. They walked out of the library and to there medical magic class in silence. When they came to the door, Draco opened it for Tegan and she gave him a small smile. They sat next to each other at a table in the back of the room and Draco held Warren in his lap. Tegan noticed Draco try to find words to start a conversation but he couldn't come up with anything. She knew how he felt, she was having the same problem. After this class she didn't want to walk away without Draco. She wanted to be his friend, maybe even more. She sighed knowing that something like that would never happen. She was talking about Draco Malfoy the boy that was the heart throb of Slytherin. What would he want with her? After all she was a weasley and you could easily tell by the long curly red hair and blue eyes. But what if he had changed over these few weeks? And what if he did want to be her friend? Tegan knew she couldn't just let him walk away after class. She would not let that happen. She would ask him to keep in touch...maybe. That was if she could find the courage too of course. Tegan felt a nudge in her side and looked up at a now standing up Draco.
" Come on Weasley. We need to go give Warren back to Professor Thins" Draco said as Tegan only nodded as she stood up also. She watched as Draco walked ahead of her and felt her stomach turn. He had called her a Weasley, so he didn't change. Maybe Malfoy's weren't supposed to change for the better. Draco handed Warren over to Professor Thins as Tegan handed her there report.
" Thank you" Professor Thins said cheerfully as Tegan rolled her eyes. What was there too be cheerful about? She was about to loose the only person that understood her besides Harry Potter. Tegan wasn't even really sure where that was going. She had only talked too Harry those two times when he wanted to get into her business. She should have known not to let Draco get too her. She knew this is what would happen. They sat back down at the table and noticed Draco was ignoring her. Tegan just sighed, what was wrong with him? She thought they had become friends after she spilled her guts out too him. But of course they didn't because Draco never let her feel what he felt. Tegan slapped herself mentally, how could she not notice that. Of course they weren't friends. They haven't shared there feelings together. Tegan felt her stomach turn a little more. Now she had a crush on a guy that was unreachable. That always seemed to happen too her. She would fall head over heels for a guy who was handsome and find out there was no way they would ever like her. But somehow this didn't fit with Draco. If he didn't like her why did he want to understand her? Maybe that was just a figment of Tegan's imagination? It probably was. She looked over at Draco who was now paying very close attention to Professor Thins and noticed how his grey eyes were misted.
" What are you staring at Weasley?" Draco asked quietly and Tegan turned her gaze away. She really hoped that the bell would ring soon. All she wanted was too get out of this class room and go talk to Harry. She knew she could always count on him for some reason. The bell rang and Tegan stood up quickly looking at Draco one last time. When he didn't return her gaze she walked out of the class room after Harry. Draco watched as she walked away and wanted to hit himself. Why did he always have too be an idiot?
