Chapter 4
Oh my god Drak… is that you?!! She screamed. She leapt of the stool and greeted him with a hug "I haven't seen you since… forever!"
"The last time I saw you were when we were saying goodbye to each other under the apple tree, the day before we left Saint Mary's! So this is why you couldn't tell me where you were going! I thought you were just beings secretive. I can't believe you're here!"
For the first time since Harry had started Hogwarts he actually saw Draco Malfoy smile, not a sneer at someone else's miss fortune, but an actual full on smile. Draco replied to Casey's very full-on greeting with, "well, this explains a lot!"
For the remainder of the feast Draco abandoned his house, and sat with Casey reminiscing about their childhood. It was like they had been taken back into the past. For the next half an hour, all the bitterness the 6th years had for Draco was lost, as they listened intently about his childhood.
"I can't believe you actually kissed Darren smith!" Squealed Casey, "I know it was a dare and everything but still, there are some things you just don't do!" She fell of her stool in laughter and at that point and tears were streaming down Hermione's eyes
"I still can't believe you kissed me." mumbled Draco under his breath who seemed disgusted at the very thought.
All too soon Dumbledore rose to give his usual messages and the school was dismissed. Draco grabbed Caseys arm on the way out and whispered something that only she could hear, "Meet me outside here in an hour. Be on your own, I have something to explain…"
For half an hour she was he talk of the school, most people already had their opinions of her from seeing her walk into the hall, but others were open to get to know her.
"Did you see her, she thinks she owns the place, and she knows that Malfoy lad. I'd keep away from her if I were you." Said a jelous 7th year
"She's well fit. Did you see her legs?" said one of the 4th year slytherins
"She's so brave; I wouldn't be able to leave all my mates behind. I love you all too much." Said a ravenclaw girl, who was part of the popular crowd.
Casey couldn't believe that an hour could go so fast, and before she knew it she was standing outside the now deserted hall with one of her oldest friends.
