Later in Potions Class Snape was currently deducting points form Gryffindor for sleeping during one of his boring lectures about making a truth potion. The only one even paying slight attention was Angelina but only because she didn't want to get in trouble. Her boyfriend Fred Weasley was snoring loudly next to her.

She elbowed him in her ribs, Wake up Fred, she hissed under her breath. They couldn't afford any more points to be taken away.

"What's the matter Angel"? Fred looked at her sleepily. She was about to respond when, Snape looked in their direction and Scowled.

Johnson, Weasley, he snapped. What may I ask is so important that you couldn't wait to say until after class? Angelina felt her cheeks go red when she realized the whole class was looking their way. She heard a few Slytherins snicker, from behind them.

"Uh, nothing sir", Angelina stammered, nudging Fred in his side to get him to say something. "Yeah", he agreed, "Professor", he added as an after thought.

50 points from Gryffindor for talking through my lecture, he sneered. "Now…." He continued with his lecture.

Finally lunch time she though heading towards the great hall. She and the rest off the class hurried off in a hurry to get out of potions.

"Get off me you filthy mudblood". She raced towards Draco's loud snarl, and turned the corner just in time to see Ron help Hermione up off Malfoy. "Don't call her that". Harry was pulling out he wand and pointed it at Draco, who was dusting himself off glaring at them.

Angelina jumped in for of Draco. Harry looked at her in shock. 'What am I doing saving a Slytherin, especially Malfoy she thought. "Move out of the way Angelina, Harry ordered.

"No, she looked in to Harry brilliant green eyes, "Just go to Lunch, I'll handle Draco. "DRACO, Ron yelled," since when is that ferret and you been on a first name basis?

Draco smirked behind Angelina, "Yeah run off Potty, Mudblood, and Weasel".

Ron charged toward Draco, but Hermione held him back," Lets go Ron, Harry". They reluctantly followed her into the great hall.

"Why'd you stick up for me Johnson?", Draco asked curiously. She shrugged.

"Angelina what are you doing talking to Malfoy?" She looked away from Draco and into to the eyes of Fred.

"Nothing, lunch is almost over", She responded. She grabbed his arm leading him back into the great hall. She waved at Draco behind Fred's back. He just gave her a smile heading in the opposite direction.

'Draco's not so bad', she though.
