Behind The Mask Chapter 5 Potions And Katie
My alarm clock was always set, and when it went off both Potter and I yelped in surprise. It was on his side of the bed, so he put on his glasses, and turned it off. I must say I was impressed, my alarm clock isn't exactly easy to turn off. His fingers must have landed in the right places. Wait, why I am thinking about his fingers? I shake my head, and then I got up and changed. I was dead tired, but I had to get up. Potter got up and dressed too.
I finished dressing and began plastering back my hair that hung in my face. I walked out of the room, and shut the door and waited for the mass of Slytherins that would be flocking out. Later at breakfast, I sat there, starring at my schedule. "Double Potions with Gryffindor, Transfiguration with Gryffindor, Care of Magical creators with Gryffindor!" Just great! At least he doesn't have all of my classes, but still this was ridiculous! I snorted, and glared at the offending schedule, then Katie interrupted my glaring contest.
She was in Ravenclaw, but she sat with me. "Hey, Draco! What's your first class?" She asked, grabbing my schedule forcibly. "Wow. We have no classes together!" She whined. I grabbed back my schedule. "No...Are we dating?" "I thought so..." "Well we could always go to Hogsmade." "Or." She purred, putting a hand over my chest I scooted away as her face got closer. "I could come to your room later." Um what? "Um what?" "See you later." She got up and left, while I sat there looking like an idiot.
I stomped off to Potions, sitting at my usual spot. Potter immediately sat by me. "What do you want?" I snapped. He pointed at a list up front. "We are partners, again." He said with a scowl. I went up to check, and sure enough we were. "Stupid! Why did he pair us? Doesn't he care that I need my space? Honestly! Stupid, bastard!" I was mad, but I could have been a little nicer about it, but did I care? No, not really. "I'm sure he does, but I'm honestly not that bad, Malfoy. You really need to grow up." Potter snapped coolly at me.
Grow up? My eyes widened as the bell rang, I sat down, shaking with anger. We wrote down notes from the board and worked silently to finish the potion, the sooner it was done, the sooner I wouldn't have to spend another second with him, at least not exactly right by him. Even if it wasn't that bad, he didn't annoy, or provoke me, oh well. Like it mattered to me then. But now it does, and so does he. Because I care about him.
Later that night Katie did stop by un announced. Potter was coming out of the bathroom, and he said he'd change out in the room, so he was just in a towel. I had my shirt all the way unbuttoned, my robes and vest were off, and my tie was loose and my hair was disheveled form digging through it as I did my homework, when she burst in. "Drac-oh!" First off I never lock my door tell after curfew, second; I can't believe she just did that!
Potter blushed, as he held onto his towel. I jumped up. "What are you doing here?" "Don't you remember I said I would come to your room, but it looks like you already have someone here. You could have told me you swung that way; I would have rather heard it. Good bye, jerk!" She yelled and stomped off, slamming the door behind her. "Sorry." Potter muttered, still blushing. "I can't believe she thought I like you." I said, snorting. It's fine really, besides you're cuter then she is. "Too bad I'm off on a date, with Cho Chang." Potter stated as he dressed. I said nothing but a small smile crept on my lips. "Set up." It was a question. "Double date." I swear we spoke our own language. "Granger and Weasel." "Duh." It was kind of funny, I thought I'd kill him when he left because he said sarcastically; "Bye, love; that I didn't know I had." I glared at him as he left laughing a little. I had to smile too, I did then, and I do now. I hate him, because of this. I like him more because of it.
