Chapter Six

In the Slytherin common room, Draco Malfoy sat on the couch with Blaise Zabini.

"So, who are you taking to the dance?" Blaise drawled.

Draco shrugged. He wanted to take Maddy, but he couldn't possibly go to the dance with a Gryffindor, could he?

"Draco, DRACO???" Blaise yelled, bringing Draco crashing back to reality.

"Huh? Oh yea, what did you say?"

Blaise sighed. "I said, I was thinking about asking Janelle Reagan,"

Draco thought about Janelle, a pretty raven-haired Slytherin. "Well, are you gonna ask her?"

"Yea, probably tomorrow," Blaise replied.

The two Slytherins continued their conversation until Pansy waltzed in, with Carter Jamison's arm around her waist. She glared at Draco and kissed Carter on the cheek. Draco rolled his eyes, only to see Blaise doing the same.

"I pity Carter," Draco said with mock sympathy.

Chuckling, the boys headed up to their rooms for some well-needed sleep.

The next day, Draco met Maddy at Transfiguration class. He saw Harry walking the girl to the classroom, his arm around her waist. Draco's heart sank as Maddy pecked Harry on the cheek and he started chuckling like a lovesick fool.

He stormed off, his gray eyes burning with rage.

(Maddy's POV)

Harry's arm was around her waist and she smiled broadly at him. He was really sweet and he genuinely liked her, so she decided to give him a chance. But then she saw Draco Malfoy storm into the classroom with not even a smile at her.

Maddy was confused. Draco had always acted nice to her, but why the sudden change?

With her brows knitted in frustration she and Harry walked into the classroom.

(End POV)

During lessons, Maddy tried to catch Draco's eye but to no avail. She gave up trying to catch his eye during lesson, and decided to try later.

After Transfiguration class, Maddy made a feeble excuse to Harry, Ron and Hermione, saying that she had to go back to the common room for something, and thankfully, they accepted it.

She rushed out to find Draco, glad to see him walking along a deserted corridor. She breathed a sigh of relief before catching up to him.

"Draco!" she whispered eagerly.

Draco looked at her and turned away, walking faster away from her.

Maddy ran up to him and stood in front of him, stopping him form moving any more.

"Draco, why are you avoiding me?" she asked worriedly.

Draco's anger flared up. "Will you get away from me? Leave me alone! Go find your boyfriend, Potter!" he yelled before dodging past her and dashing away, leaving Maddy standing there alone with tears running silently down her cheeks.

Maddy carried on with her lessons as usual until dinner, avoiding the Slytherins as much as possible, and Draco, with the Gryffindors. She knew why he was mad. He was jealous of Harry, and Maddy thought it was childish of him.

Maddy had tried sending him a few letters by owl, but, sad to say, he replied none.

Maddy often cried herself to sleep, hoping that Draco would answer her letters, but to no avail. She had lost all hope.
