Chapter 3: friendships and enemies
Adrienne was walking down the hall to her potions class the next day, which she happened to have first. She had heard many stories about the teacher Professor Snape, and was dreading going there. She stepped into the classroom and took an empty seat next to another redhead. "There will be no talking in my classroom, now do the potion on the board and I expect it to be done by the end of this class." Snape announced to his students. "Wow, he doesn't waste any time does he?" Adrienne asked the girl next to her. "No, I think he enjoys torturing his students," the girl laughed. "I'm Ginny." "Nice to meet you Ginny, I'm Adrienne."
"Ladies, I said no talking in my classroom, 5 points from both your houses." Both girls went back to their work and when he was on the other side of the room Adrienne said, "He's a real happy go lucky kind of person isn't he?" "You have no idea."
Lunchtime couldn't have been more welcoming to Adrienne. So far, all of her classes had been a basic bore. After lunch she had herbology with the gryfindors again. "Well at least I have someone to talk to," she muttered to herself as she headed outside. "Adrienne! Wait up!" She turned around to see Ginny running behind her. Adrienne smiled and said, "Nice to see you too, hopefully this class isn't as bad as potions." "Oh, its not, believe me. I actually somewhat enjoy this class."
The girls walked across the grounds when Ginny said, "Hey, there's Hagrid, our Care for magical creatures teacher." Ginny waved then started walking towards the giant. Adrienne reluctantly followed. "Hi Hagrid!" Ginny said. "Oh! Hello there Ginny! Hope yur enjoyin your 6th year so far!" "Any year with Snape is not an enjoyable one." All three of them laughed when a voice behind them said, "I agree with that." It was another redhead, but a guy. "Adrienne, this is my brother Ron, and his friends Hermione and Harry." Adrienne shook hands with all of them.
"Oh look! Potters got another fan in his fan club. Another Weasley perhaps?" said an obnoxious voice behind them. "Knock it off Malfoy." Harry said. "Why should I?" "Maybe because you're being a complete ass and you are embarrassing yourself," Adrienne spoke up. Draco looked at her and realized that it was Adrienne, the girl he had escorted the previous night to her common room. "Come on Adrienne, we should go to class before we're late," Ginny said, pulling her arm. The girls walked away from the crowd of Grifydors and Slytherins.
'What the hell? Is she friends with Potter and Weasley now?' Draco thought to himself. He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard someone calling his name. He turned towards the speaker who was, to his surprise, Adrienne. "You know, not every redhead is a Weasley!" she shouted to him. He smirked and she continued towards her class.
It turned out that Ginny was right. Herbology wasn't that bad. Next was Trelawney's class. She was walking back towards the castle when she felt someone walking next to her. She turned her head and saw that it was Draco. She smiled to herself and then said, "Can't stay away can you." She giggled. He looked at her with a smirk on his face and said, "Hey, your not THAT irresistible." 'did I really say that?' Draco thought to himself. She laughed and opened the door to the castle. "Ladies first." "Oh, now with the manners, there must be two sides of Draco Malfoy." "you could say that," Draco whispered more to himself than to her. Adrienne just raised an eyebrow without even bothering to ask.
They walked down the hall in silence, neither knowing what to say to each other. "Oh Drakey! There you are! I was looking all over for you! Who is she?" yelled a very annoying voice. Draco groaned and rolled his eyes. "Pansy, this is Adrienne." "She isn't your girlfriend is she?" Pansy said with a pout on her face. "So what if she was? What would you do about it?" Adrienne's eyes widened in surprise. Pansy then looked at her in disgust. "But she's.." "I'm what?" Adrienne said, surprising both Pansy and Draco. "She's. she's." Pansy looked between the two of them and then turned on her heal and ran down the hall in defeat. "You know this will be around the school by dinner right?" Draco said to her. "Yea, I kinda figured. Listen, I have to go all the way to Trelawney's class. I'll talk to you later?" 'she actually wants to talk to ME? What? Why am I nervous? I'm Draco Malfoy, I don't get these feelings of nervousness.' "Draco?" Adrienne said waving her hand in front of his face. "Yea, I'll talk to you later." With that Adrienne left down the hall leaving Draco with his puzzeling thoughts. "Draco! Draco! Come on, we need to go to transfiguration!" Crabbe called from the end of the hall. "Relax, I'm coming."
