Chapter 2

Draco entered the dungeon for Potions class, spotted Becky, Harry, Ron, and Hermione and briskly walked over there and plopped down on the other side of Becky, who was next to Hermione.

"Draco, what happened?" Becky cried, spotting his bruised cheek. There was suddenly an outburst of sniggers from the front of the room, where all the otherSlytherins were seated. Becky shot them a nasty look before turning back to Draco.

"A row with Crabbe and Goyle last night," Draco replied, lowering his voice so the other Slytherins couldn't hear.

"Those buffoons!" Becky exclaimed angrily, but keeping her voice down as well.

"Those big buffoons," Draco corrected, "They may be dumb but they know how to punch when they're angry."

"I swear, I'm gonna--"

"Forget it," Draco interrupted hastily. Becky shot him a surprised look, and he tried to smile. "They're not worth it," he added. Becky's frown turned into a smile and she grabbed his hand under the table.

"You're right," she said, sighing. Her eyes became fierce again, "But if they give you any more crap, I'm not just going to let them get away with it." Draco didn't reply…he only smiled at her and turned to open his book.

The door of the dungeon flew open and hit the wall with a loud, echoing bang. Snape stomped up to his desk, but as he passed Becky, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco's table, his eyes glittered maliciously and he paused. His gaze shot down to Becky and Draco's hands underneath the table. Both Draco and Becky jumped slightly and their hands flew apart. Snape smirked and continued on.

"I guess I'm not going to be his teacher's pet anymore," Draco muttered sardonically, glaring furiously up at Snape.

After staring around at them all, Snape barked at them what page to open to and he ordered them to read the chapter. Then, with a tap of his wand on the blackboard, their homework appeared on it.

"Man, how could I have ever hung out with those people?" Draco whispered, gazing at the Slytherins in the front of the room.

"I dunno…you were a pretty big jackass," Becky replied, keeping her eyes on her book.

"Becky!" Draco's eyes shot to her, and he frowned, not amused. Becky looked up at him, surprised at his reaction.

"Don't look so shocked!" Becky laughed, "You were!" When Draco's expression didn't change, she sighed and put her hand on his knee. "Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings," she said.

"It's alright," Draco replied, smiling again, "You're right anyway. I guess I just never fully realized it." Becky smiled back and turned to her book again, her hand still on his knee. Draco paused, gazing at her for a moment. "Why did you ever agree to give me another chance?" he asked. Becky looked at him again, the smile creeping across her face once more.

"I knew you had changed," she answered simply.

"But how? I had never given you any reason whatsoever to trust me," Draco argued. "But you did anyway…" his voice trailed off, his affection for Becky growing every second. Becky's smile widened.

"It was in your eyes," she replied, "I could see it. And your kiss confirmed everything…kisses never lie."

Draco grinned, wanting to kiss her right then and there. Forgetting everything and everyone around him except for Becky, he leaned in to kiss her, but she pushed him away, jerking her head in Snape's direction.

"Oh fine," Draco puouted, turning back to his book. He was trying to look seriously hurt, but a grin kept tugging up the corners of his mouth. Becky laughed and grasped his hand again under the table.

Aw, that was cute! But how long will the happiness last? Mwahahahahaha! Thanks for reading!
