Chapter 4 Getting Used to it
I am amazed that I feel so comfortable in the school; and I have only been in the school five minutes. Draco had met up with me on the carriage ride over, so he walked me into the school. When we got inside we headed into The Great Hall. It's huge! We walk over to the table where the rest of the Slytherine house is seated.
"This is where we eat or meals. But I bet you knew that already."
"I kind of figured." I add sourly, "Oh there is Ginny!" I wave at her, and she waves back. I didn't even notice the people looking at me strangely.
"Umm... Kaitlyn..." Draco began, "the rest of the house won't like you if you wave at people from other houses. "
I sigh silently, "Yeah I guess your right. Well, I *will* talk to her just not in front of other Slytherines."
"Good, another thing- don't get to friendly with the other house members, it will get you on the wrong side of people."
"Professor Malfoy I have a question, can I shit and piss or do I have to hold it?" He looks at me annoyed, "Shut up."
"You asked for it. "I reply smugly.
"So what?"
"Just eat ghost boy."
"What do you mean 'ghost boy'?"
"Your so pale you could be a ghost!"
"I bet you find it attractive!"
"...NO...I don't..." I hesitate, 'Damn it, he is right! I do think he's hot.'
He smirks, "Yes you do!"
"Shut up!" He starts to eat. I give him a death glare and start eating too. He is too smart for his own good. I just wish I could be like, "hey Draco you are amazingly sexy can we date?" that would be that day! But till then I'll just have to act like an ass and play his little game. Grrrrrr....
Dinner ends and so did dessert. I'm pretty tired but know I still have a tour of the school ahead of me. So I tap Draco on the shoulder.
"Ghostly, I'm tired. Get on with the tour."
He turns and glares at me, "Ok "He gets up and we headed out. After he showed me all the transfiguration , dark arts , charms, astronomy , and the herbology classrooms and such he ended up pulling me aside.
"So Kaitlyn want to see my favorite part of the school?"
"Um...sure" Jeez, he sure opens up quick . . .
"This way. Do you have a broom?"
"Yeah a Firebolt, why?"
"Well summon it." I wonder what he's up to, but he summoned his broom and I did the same. Wonder where we are going that would need our brooms . . .
I mean- ohmigod! It's the most beautiful quidditch pitch I had ever seen!
"I come here to ease all my troubles. Or right after I talk to my dad, which pretty much is a trouble." Draco adds. I look at him sideways.
"Come on, your dad can't be that bad." He gives me the look.
"Ok, what does he do that is so bad?"
"I don't really want to talk about it."
"um.. Ok then"
silent moment,
"you want to race?"
He snorts, "Race? Me? Fine, but there is no way you'd win."
I snort too, "Heh! Yeah right!" We both mount our brooms and got ready to go, I grin as I start the count down.
"On your marks get...ready...GO!"
We both shoot off so fast there's dust in our wake. We each fight for the lead. Each second switching places. We circled the pitch and then the selected finish line comes into view. I shoot off as fast as my broom will take me. I pass the finish line and turn around to look for Draco.
"I WON! Ha ha!!!"
"Shut up Kaitlyn!"
"Ghostly got beat by a girl." I say in a singsong voice.
"Not this time!" and he shoots off.
I shoot off after him and catch up easy enough. When he finally notices I'm right beside him he shoots off again. Little did he know, till I was waiting at the finish line that I shot ahead of him again.
Huffing he said, "Ok....that...is it. I'm...done." He landed his broom and hopped off.
"Ok Ghostly."
Draco sat down on the ground of the pitch. I got off my broom and sat next to him.
"You're a great flier Kaitlyn. I have never been beat by a girl before."
"There is a first time for everything."
"Yeah I guess your right."
"I'm always right."
"Seems that way." why does he have to be so hot. I mean come on.
"Kaitlyn I was wondering... why are you here? I mean your American, and you had a life there."
"My mom's job. And yes I have a life but when I told everyone I was moving they said that was fine by them and forget me."
"That's mean."
"You should talk. Anyways my closest friends or so I thought even forgot about me. My boyfriend even left me."
Draco's eyes flashed at that statement. But I tied to act like I didn't notice. "That's kind of harsh. Bet that went over well with you."
"Actually I just said that if they can drop me off that easily then so can I. And I did."
"Oh"
I laid down on the grass and looked up at the now extremely bright stars. "The stars are beautiful."
"Yeah... they are."
I looked over at him and he wasn't looking at the stars he was staring at me.
"Draco, I...am tired can you show me back to the common room?"
"Hmm...oh...sure... come on."
We walked back to the common room in silence. This is going to be an interesting year.
