Chapter 2 – Alone in the Hallway
Giliana walked down the hall, only looking straight in front of her. It was time for the Beginning of the year Feast. As she was walking, she couldn't help but be bothered with Snape. All the other potions teacher's she's had had always enjoyed her company. She would always stay after class, and help out. Back in the states, her old potions teacher even made her assistant professor, and she got to help everyone. She wasn't very happy here now...it wasn't the way she remembered it. But here she had made a friend. Back in the states she was lonely...
"What the hell?" Draco turned around, he had been bumped into by Giliana. Crabbe and Goyle started cracking their knuckles. Draco waved a hand at them, as if to say 'no, not now'. He smirked, looking charming with his slicked back blonde hair. "Hello. I'm Draco Malfoy, this is Crabbe and this is Goyle." He motioned to them with his head. "And you're Giliana Lenore?" He took her hand and kissed it. "A pleasure to meet you."
Giliana wasn't too pleased that she had bumped into Draco. But he was being polite, and so to not cause any commotion, she just went along with it.
"The pleasure is mine." She said, blankly.
Draco grinned, his teeth were completely white and straight. "Some of the Slytherin's are having a sort of party by the lake Saturday night. Would you like to come along?" Crabbe grinned, almost suggestively.
"What kind of party?" She asked, thinking about her decision to go or not.
Ah, just a get together, it's sort of a date, actually... if you don't mind." He smirked, looking her over.
She didn't like the way he was looking at her, but she noticed how attractive he was. She thought about it for a moment. She could not stand his arrogance though. "I don't know..." She looked him in the eye, her expression slightly changing into a glare.
"Well…just let me know, alright?" He looked a little disappointed. "Come on Crabbe, Goyle." He turned, and looked back at her again with a grin.
"I'll see you there." She said, with a slight smile. She had no interest in him, except for his looks. She decided she'd only go with him to try and meet more Slytherins, hoping they weren't all like him.
Draco paused, and looked at her. "Well, alright. That sounds... great." He grinned mischievously at her, bowed, then continued to walk.
Giliana waited a bit for him to be way ahead of her so she wouldn't have to worry about walking near him. She looked around her to see a few Slytherin girls who had witnessed Draco asking her do the party. They all looked at her in jealousy and envy. Giliana paid no attention to them, and just walked away, not looking back at all the jealous girls.
