As the days flew by, Draco was finally feeling comfortable as he went by Harry's schedule, and was even getting used to having Granger and Weasley with him almost every waking moment.
"So, what are we doing in potions today?" Draco said, looking down at his watch, kind of anxious to see how Snape would treat him.
"Last time we were in there, he said to get ready for the Squibuli potion. He said we should practice in our free time." Hermione said, heaving her bag on her shoulder.
Ron rolled his eyes. "You did practice, didn't you?"
Hermione smiled. "of course I did. What did you think? I would want to fail like you two?" she said, indicating Ron and Draco.
Draco sighed and stood up, all the time contemplating how hermione could be so perfect all the time. "Well, we better get going. We have about 5 minutes to get to the dungeons."
As they all sat down, Ron and Hermione started to talk among themselves, and Draco took a look around the classroom, and came to lay eyes on his own form, walking into the classroom and taking seat in the second row from the front.
As he watched, the other turned to look in his direction, as their eyes met. Draco smirked, as so did Harry. Harry mouthed something to him, but he couldn't figure out what he was saying.
Draco looked at him funny, as he did it again. Then he finally understood. "Meet me by the lake."
Draco tilted his head. 'Why would I want to go there?' he thought to himself. Finally, he came to the conclusion he would meet him for a minute, then ditch him as he looked the other way. Draco nodded.
"Harry, are you listening to us at all?" a girls voice came from beside him, as he turned to look at Hermione, who was looking at him worriedly.
"Of course I was." He replied, looking straight at her.
"Fine then. What is your opinion then?" she said, indicating to ron, who was sitting there with an expression of one who would like to vomit at any time.
"Um, could you repeat what you said then?" he asked, kind of not wanting to know what she wanted his opinion on.
She rolled her eyes. "ok, Ron thinks that Draco and Pansy are together, but I think they are not. What is your opinion?"
As soon as he heard it, a fury of anger came spiraling up inside of him. He thought to himself, 'So this is how they talk about me.' He was the only person who knew the real answer to that question, so he decided to answer it truthfully.
"Actually, no, they aren't together. I heard from a source that he likes you, Hermione." Draco said, and was proud to see her cheeks turn a rosy red.
She was saved the embarrassment from Ron, as Snape came barging into the classroom.
"Everyone, put those useless wands and books away. Today, as I told you last time we met, we are going to make of the most difficult potions known to wizard kind. This will help you, I believe, with your NEWTS coming up in the near future." Prof. Snape drawled, looking around at all of them with his dark eyes.
His entrancing eyes came to land on the three of them. "Miss Granger, I suggest you help Potter and Weasley, as I know they cannot make even the simplest of potions with out messing up."
As the slytherins laughed, Draco looked over and seen Harry was the only one not laughing, as he was looking down at his desk, not looking up. Snape must not have noticed, or possibly ignored the laughter, as he went up to the blackboard and waved his wand.
"Follow the instructions on the board, and don't even think about trying to skip one. You do, the potion will come out completely wrong and you will receive a zero for the day." Snape said, moving towards his desk.
Draco breathed a sigh of relief. "I have made this potion tons of times at home. I is actually really simple." Draco said, standing up and going to the back of the room to get the ingredients.
As the hour drew to a close, the three of them has followed every instruction, and it turned out they were 3 out of very few to actually get the potion right.
"ha!" Ron said, "looks like Malfoy couldn't even get the potion right."
Draco looked over at harry, and he was sitting back in his chair examining his results, as his potion was a bright yellow, when it should have been a dark purple. He watched as he rolled his eyes and started packing his things away.
A few hours later, Draco was standing by the lake, waiting for Harry to show up. He sat down by the oak tree and rested his head on it, closing his eyes.
"Well well well...look who is here." Came a drawling voice, as he snapped his eyes open.
Draco stood up and eyed him wearily. "What did you want, Potter?"
Harry grinned. "Nothing really. I just wanted to talk to you. Also," Harry pulled out a letter, "This came for you in the morning post. I didn't open it, as I wouldn't want to snoop."
Harry handed it to him. He looked down at the letter, and he could tell who's handwriting it was anywhere.
Blaise Zabini, the person he called his closest friend, the girl who he was claimed to marry when he was 19.
"Thank you, Harry. I don't think you would of wanted to read this rubbish anyways." Draco smiled. "I have to get back to the common room. Ron wants to play chess. I will see you around, Harry." He said, as he turned around to walk off back to the castle.
"Bye." Harry said softly.
Draco hadn't really gone back to the common room to play chess, he went back to actually read the letter that blaise sent him, him becoming more curious with each step as to why blaise would send him a letter.
As he sat down on the comfy gryffindor chair, he tore open the letter as he read the letter.
Dear Draco,
Hello darling! How is school going for you? Everything here at Durmstrang is going fine. It is actually really depressing without you here. Why did your mother make you stay at that retched school? Father says Dumbledore has gone off the deep end. Well, besides that, I just wanted to tell you, even though Father is not happy with it, I will be visiting you at Hogwarts in a couple weeks. Remember me telling you I might? Well, mother and father approved, and I will be coming to see you in 2-3 weeks. I can't wait to see my love! Well, I have to go, class starts in about 10 minutes. Love you, Draco!
Love, Blaise
