Malfoy's Secret
Chapter 2.
For the rest of the summer Malfoy was in a bad mood and remained in his room, only coming out at meal times, it was his mother's request. When the summer was finally over ('thank god' Malfoy thought) he ordered Yuttie to pack his bags and traveled to Kings Cross. He got on the train and waved his mother good bye. He turned and tried to find an empty compartment. Halfway down he saw a compartment filled with Goyle and Crabbe. He sighed as they saw him and their faces lit up. 'I wish they would get a life,' Malfoy thought as he slowly opened the door and sat down grumpily.
An hour later he was walking around the train for Prefect duties. His heart almost stopped as he saw the goddess. She was surrounded by gossiping girls, but none of them were as pretty as her. He slid the door open and put on a 'cool' face.
"What's your name?" Malfoy asked casually. All the girls started to giggle and he thought giggling should be made illegal.
"Fay. Fay Knight. I'm in Hufflepuff. I don't need an introduction. I know who you are. You are Draco Malfoy. Pureblood. I'm half-blood. I don't think that would suite you, would it?" She shot at him. Draco didn't want to admit it, but she was right. He showed no emotion and finally said, "I could always make exceptions." He touched her chin and walked out. He smiled to himself, thinking he made a good impression. 'But,' another voice said in his head, 'she is a mudblood. Are you willing to date a mudblood? Are you willing to get dirty?' He got angry at himself and ran to his compartment, not coming out till the train stopped.
At the great hall, Malfoy wasn't eating his food. He kept staring at Fay, at the Hufflepuff table, behind Potter's table.
"What are you staring at, Draco?" Came a girly voice. He wheeled around to be met by Pansy. Would she ever stop pestering him?
"I'm making a plan how to ruin Potters life. Go think of one for Hermione," Draco said casually. Secretly, he felt that Pansy tried to hard. Pansy grinned and practically ran back to her seat. He continued to stare at the Hufflepuff Goddess for the rest of the night. As the feast was over, in the hall way he saw her. He muttered a spell to make her fall and trip. She couldn't get up and told her friends to go bed; she would be there in a minute. He hurried over there, pretending that he dropped his food he was taking back to the common room. He dropped down to her level and muttered the counter-course. She looked up to say thank you and saw Draco. "Oh," she said, "It's you. I have to go. Isn't your common room somewhere over there?" She pointed to where the dungeons were. Draco smiled to himself.
"Meet me at the trophy room, tomorrow night, after dinner." He left her and hurried down to his common room.
He found Crabbe and Goyle there and sat down in the biggest chair.
"Uh, Draco," Crabbe started. For one wild moment Draco thought that Crabbe was going to ask about the goddess. "Can I have your desserts?" Crabbe finished. Draco threw two of the four desserts at him and threw two to Goyle so they don't bicker. Draco sighed with in himself and laughed. 'They wouldn't ask about the girl even if she was dancing naked in front of them wearing a tea cozy.' Malfoy thought. Then he tried to imagine this, but nothing came to mind. He looked around the common room and got really tired all of a sudden. He wondered if he drank too much pumpkin juice and decided to go to bed.
The next morning Draco was the only one sitting at the breakfast table in the Slytherin house except for two first years. He looked down at his watch and it said 7:03. 'Duh, no other Slytherin is up till at least 8. He looked over at the other tables and saw that in Ravenclaw there was only that foul Cho Chang Potter used to date and a group of her giggling friends. To Malfoy, all the girls in the other houses were like gossiping geese.
An hour later all the Slytherins were at the table and McGonagall started handing out the schedules. Malfoy looked down and his heart skipped a beat. He had Herbology first with the Hufflepuffs. He looked across at the Hufflepuff table and made eye contact with Fay. She gave him a disgruntled look and he smiled at her. She turned away and he kept staring at her until breakfast was over.
