Oh great. Malfoy knows about the passage. I thought to myself.

"Malfoy." I said. "How do you know about this passage."

"I have my ways." He smirked.

"I swear you only have three facial expressions." I told him taking a long drag." Your sneer, your smirk, and your glare. Don't you ever just smile?"

"At least I'm not running around d with Mud-Bloods." He retorted and put out his cigarette.

"Your pathetic. Does it make you feel like a big man throwing that word around every chance you get? Does it boost your ego? We all know it's already too big."

"You are so frustrating." He stepped closer to where I were leaned against a wall. He leaned his right hand against the wall. His face was inches away from mines and he came closer. For a moment I thought he was going to kiss I. I almost wanted him to. He put his lips to my and whispered. "You are an odd girl, Violette Regalis."

Malfoy walked out.

"I'm, odd?" I said aloud to myself. "He is the odd one. Well I guess I am too."

I checked her Marauder's Map and headed back to my dormitory.

September went by without anything too interesting. October began and thoughts of Halloween plagued everyone's mind. There would be a dance for everyone who was a fourth year or above. I was asked by Seamus and then Dean but refused both.

I was early Monday morning and I rolled out of bed with a loud thunk. The sleeping Parvati did not seem to appreciate this.

"Violette! Keep it down!" Parvati yelled at me.

"Yes Ma'm." I mocked her.

I decided to take a quick shower.

After I got out and I used magic to dry and straighten my hair. I applied eyeliner and threw on my robes, and grabbed my bag as I hurried down to breakfast.

When I approached the Gryffindor table I was greeted by smiling faces.

"How did you sleep?" Hermoine asked me knowing I always have issues when it comes to sleeping due to reoccurring nightmares and insomnia.

"Actually quite well for once." I replied cheerily as I spread cream cheese on my bagel.

"Good." Hermoine smiled.

And there it was again. That feeling I was being watched. I looked behind me and then to my sides and then in front of me. The person that was watching me was sitting across from me at the Slytherin table. That platinum blonde hair, those intense icy blue eyes… Draco Malfoy. His stare became a cold glare. I flashed a sweet sarcastic smile, which in turn caused him to smirk.

God I hate that smirk. I thought.

"Violette?" A voice pulled me back.

"Um. Yah?" I ask absentmindedly.

"I asked if you did McGonagall's essay." Harry repeated himself.

"Oh, um, not yet."

"What was that about?" Harry asked me.

"I just drifted. Sorry." I searched for an excuse to leave. "I have Divination and you know how long it takes to get there. Bye."

I left before anybody had time to respond. Harry and Ron had taken Hermoine's lead and dropped Divination. But I found Trelawney quite amusing. Malfoy clouded my thoughts. I couldn't get his smirking face out of my head.

Why am I thinking about Malfoy? I questioned myself He's so annoying. He is kind of cute. Quidditch is doing him good. Wait! Ew! Bad Violette. It's Malfoy!

My thoughts continued like that as I sat down at an isolated table. The classroom was full and my table was still empty.

"My dears," Professor Trelawney began in her usual misty tone. "Today we shall be using Tea Leaves."

Just then Malfoy sauntered in.

"Your Late, Mister Malfoy." Professor Trelawney said. "Of course I knew you would be. Ten points from Slytherin. Take your seat."

The only empty seat was at my table. As he sat down he gave me a quick smirk.

Damn I thought.

"Get your cups." Profess Trelawney instructed.

After I sat down she began sipping her tea. There was an awkward silence.

"So…" Malfoy said. "This is just a bit awkward."

"Thank you, Captain Obvious." I rolled her eyes.

"Somebody is menstrual."" He sneered.

"Well, I know it's not me. So that leaves you. Is it that time of the month? I have a tampon in my bag if you need it."

"You're not funny."

"Really? I think I am. Hold on let me stick my head up my ass and maybe I'll be able to see things the way you do. I don't know how you get yours up there though because your head is so big." I could see his anger rising and smiled.

I had finished her tea and so did Malfoy. I had a squiggly line and Malfoy had what looked similar to a rose.

"My dear," Professor Trelawney began in her misty voice, "looks like you'll be falling in love and Miss Regalis…"She paused. "You have… a snake." She put her hands to her chest dramatically. "You will be betrayed by somebody close to you."

"Oh darn." I said. Malfoy rolled his eyes.

"Be careful who you trust." She warned and walked away.

"Do you think she could go to one class without predicting something negative?" I asked Malfoy.

"Is that possible?" He replied making me giggled.

Maybe he's not so bad I thought

"Oh Mister Malfoy." I began in my mistiest voice. "Mars is aligned with Jupiter. Tonight you will spontaneously combust."

"You know, I could imagine her saying that." Malfoy smirked.

"I wonder if she makes this stuff up or if she thinks she truly possesses the Sight." I said.

"I think it's a little of both." He snickered." "Why are you in Advanced Divination, anyway?"

"Because Trelawney amuses me." Then putting on my mistiest voice I said. "And because I have been burdened with the Sight."

I think I'm actually enjoying his company.

"Next class we will begin with Crystal Balls. You will continue with the same partners." Professor Trelawney announced. "Until then you are dismissed."

I packed my things and got up. "Until next time." I smiled at Malfoy and walked away.

Wow. He is pretty cute. Violette! Stop thinking like that!

My next class was Potions. I found myself yet again thinking about the boy wih those cold blue eyes. I met up with Ron, Harry, and Hermoine.

"Oh God, another class with Snape." Harry said pessimistically.

"Cheer up, Harry. It's not that bad."" I tried to assure him.

"Violette," He said. "You are mental"

"Only a little." I replied smiling.

At that moment I felt somebody bump into me causing me and whoever it was to drop my stuff.

"Watch where you're going, Malfoy!" Harry spat venomously.

"Oh shut it, Potter." Malfoy snapped back. "It was an accident."

I had already started to pick up my stuff. Malfoy bent down to pick up his. He handed me my quill bag, which had been holding my quills until Malfoy bumped into me.

"For a seeker you are quite clumsy. Aren't seekers supposed to be nimble and graceful?" scoffed Hermoine as I stood up.

"Think you're funny, do you Mud-Blood?" Malfoy sneered standing up.

"You sound a lot like your father!" I said knowing I hit a soft spot.

"You don't know anything about my father!" Malfoy responded giving I his famous death glare. But under the glare I could see he looked… hurt?

Maybe that's just my imagination. I thought to myself.

"I know he's locked in Azkaban because he's a Death Eater. Do you know why that is Malfoy? It's because he thought being Pureblood makes him better than everyone else. It sounds like you take after him!" I knew I had crossed a line.

Malfoy turned away and walked into the Potions room.

"Thanks for standing up for me Violette." Hermoine said.

"Don't let him get you down. That git isn't worth your worries." I responded and hugged Hermoine. "He's just jealous because you are the most talented witch that has ever stepped into Hogwarts.

"She's right, Hermoine." Ron said.

"Yeah she is." Harry said.

"Thanks guys." She smiled a little.

"Let's got in then." Ron said. "I'd rather not have detention with Snape."

Harry, Hermoine, and I nodded in agreement.

The four of us then walked into Snape's room.

I can't believe I was actually thinking about him. He seemed so nice during Divination. But I guess that his a short period of being nice compared to five years of being a jerk. I thought to myself but as I looked towards him I could feel my stomach tightening.
