A/N: Sorry for the double chapter here! Please pretend it's just one! This is the first chapter where something sparks between Draco and Hannah...like...not just friendship, if you know what I mean (but not that way!) I dont own Harry Potter or Draco Malfoy!
Chapter 4
The Forbidden Forest
"Well, did you get detention from Snape?" Pansy asked.
I turned to face Pansy, failing to see what she was talking about "What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Ugh!" Pansy groaned, stomping her foot in exasperation "When Snape called you to see him after the lesson, silly! Did he give you detention?"
"Oh," I said, catching on "No, I have a try out for the Slytherin Quidditch team."
"No way that's so cool!" Rose asked, jumping up and down to show her excitement.
"Nice. When is the tryout?" Pansy asked, taking out her night clothes.
"It's tomorrow after dinner." I said, grabbing my book bag.
"Good luck tomorrow!" Rose said.
"Thanks." I said heading towards the door "I think I'm going to go do some homework downstairs."
"Ok see you later." Pansy said going into the bathroom.
I got out my book bag and quills and I slid down the banister to the common room.
Draco was there, waiting for me.
"Hey, want to go to the library?" Draco asked.
"Sure. But I don't know where it is." I said.
"I do," Draco said, grabbing me by the hand. "Follow me." He added pulling me along.
I couldn't help but blush. After that sudden craving to grab his hand during flying lessons, it felt pleasant for him to take mine.
His skin was slightly cold on mine. Are my hands cold to him? I thought I hope not. Don't make a fool of yourself, Potter! Why am I worried about this, Draco is just a friend. A nice, good looking, smart, kind friend. Oh my gosh Pansy is right! I like Draco!
The library was nearly empty, only Madam Frizzle was in the room.
"I told you I knew my way here." Draco whispered, grinning.
"Yeah, silly me for ever doubting you." I said.
"Both of you, out. The library is closed!" Madam Frizzle yelled shooing us away.
"Wow," Draco murmured rolling his eyes. "I know a really nice place outside, want to go out there with me?"
"Sure, but isn't it cold outside?" I asked.
"The temperature wasn't bad earlier. Come on, I think you are going to like it."
"Alright let's go."
"There is the rebel Slytherin in you." Draco said grabbing my hand again.
Draco had pulled me outside the school before he covered my eyes.
"Hey!" I shouted.
"Shhhhh!" Draco whispered in my ear "I want you to be surprised the first time you see it."
"Oh I get it."
"I knew you would."
After a while, the temperature got slightly colder. Draco uncovered my eyes.
We were in the most amazing area of the school I saw yet. There were trees everywhere and every so often a beam of moonlight penetrated the darkness of the forest floor.
"Oh wow this is so cool!" I said, awestruck.
"Welcome to the Forbidden Forest." Draco smirked.
"When did you find this place?" I asked.
"I found it today, at lunch. I was bored so I went for a walk and walked in here."
"This is so cool!" I gasped.
"I thought you would say that, you were the first person I had to show."
I saw something gallop past us. I gasped.
"Oh I forgot to mention, there are some creatures in here."
"Oh."
"I think we should go back inside."
"I agree."
We both ran back to the Slytherin common room.
"That was fun." I admitted.
"Yeah that was. Too bad we can't do it again tomorrow, with your Quidditch try out and all."
"Yeah, I need to get some sleep, see you tomorrow."
"Yeah, see you tomorrow." Draco said, kissing my cheek.
I blushed. Was that kiss platonic or was there something more? I thought.
Pansy was waiting up for me.
"Did you have fun doing 'homework'?" she asked.
"Actually I didn't do any homework. I went for a walk with-"
"Draco?" Pansy asked hopefully.
"Yes I went for a walk with Draco."
"Oh where did you go?"
"He took me to this place he found today at lunch. That was pretty much it."
"Did you guys do anything else?"
"Well, I did have a sudden urge to hold his hand during flying lessons today, and when I came up here he kissed-"
"HE KISSED YOU! Oh my gosh Hanna! Girls wake up! Draco kissed Hanna!"
"Pansy shut up! Draco didn't kiss me kiss me, he kissed me on the cheek."
"Aww that is so cute. That is the early stages of a relationship."
"You are right, Pansy."
"What am I right about?"
"I think I fancy Draco."
"I knew it, goodnight."
"Goodnight Pansy."
I crawled into bed and read my book. I don't know when but I fell asleep reading it.
That was the first night I dreamed of Draco Malfoy.
Chapter 5
First Love?
I woke up with a start, I had dreamt of Draco but I couldn't remember what happened.
I ran downstairs after getting ready. Draco wasn't there.
Well I thought I guess I could go down to breakfast alone.
I walked down the corridors. Sometime along the way I started singing a song I found all too familiar. It was a song I had heard when I found out I was an orphan, a song that I had wrote.
Suddenly I was spun around, I went for my wand.
"Calm down, princess, it's only me." I heard Draco say.
"Give me a minute to restart my heart after you stopped it."
"Sorry, I just heard you singing and I wanted to tell you that you are really good. Where did you learn?"
"I actually taught myself, I got lessons to play guitar."
"That is really interesting."
"Excuse me?" a voice asked.
Draco and I looked behind us. It was that boy who broke his arm the day before, and got the potion splashed over him.
"Hi." I said.
"Hello, Longbottom." Draco greeted icily.
"I never got the chance to thank you for returning my Rememberall. I'm Neville."
"I'm Hannah and this is Draco." I said.
"Who found it?"
"Annabelle Drosie."
"What a witch."
"I know. Do you want to come with me to my Quidditch tryout tonight?"
"Sure."
"Alright, meet you here after dinner."
The rest of the day went slowly, until dinner.
"Hey Potter." Drosie sneered looking over to the Slytherin table "Try not to fall off your broom."
"Whatever."
"POTTER! LET'S GO!" Marcus yelled.
"Oh, got to go Drosie."
After a quiet walk down to the Quidditch pitch Marcus spoke.
"Alright, I want to see what you can do. Hannah I want you to take these balls and try to get them through those hoops." He said pointing to the large hoops above us.
"Yes, sir." I replied, mounting my slow school broom.
I grabbed the regular medicine balls and picked one up.
"What am I supposed to do with them?" I asked.
"You try to throw them into the hoop behind me." Flint explained "I will try to block them. But I warn you, I am a pretty good Keeper, even though I play Beater."
"Oh, alright I get it now. But wouldn't I hurt you? These balls are remarkably heavy."
"They are around the same size and weight of a Quaffle. You will do fine."
"Don't need to explain anymore. I got it."
I had flown to the hoop as fast as I could. I wound up for the shot and the ball flew, right past Marcus and into the hoop.
"Excellent shot, Potter. Do you think you can do it again?"
"Yeah, I think so. I can grasp things pretty quickly."
Shot after shot I took. And shot after shot went past Marcus.
"Well, Potter, I could stop my older brother's shots, and he is a professional Quidditch player for Team Briton. Congratulations, welcome to the Slytherin Quidditch team. Do you own a broom?"
"No I don't." I said.
"I think we should get you one then. These school brooms aren't going to cut it."
"Well, I guess Snape was right about you. Congratulations you are on the Quidditch team."
"Thank you." I said.
"Alright, we have our first practice Friday after dinner. Be ready. I will have someone send you your team robes. Dismissed!"
I ran back to the Slytherin dungeons where, oddly Draco waited up for me.
"I can't believe it! I made the Quidditch team!" I said.
"I can, you have remarkable talent."
"Hey, so do you. Snape just didn't see it."
"I better get upstairs, Rose, Pansy, Amelia, Lexi, and Monique are probably waiting with bated breath for me."
"Later."
"Oh wait Hannah." Draco said, grabbing my sleeve.
"Yes?" I asked
"Um…never mind, I forgot." Draco said, blushing.
"Um…ok." I said.
"Alright, see you later!" Draco said, kissing my cheek again.
"Yeah, see you." I replied, kissing him back.
As I walked upstairs to the dormitories, I couldn't help but look back to see Draco Malfoy touching the spot on his face where I kissed it, blushing. I mirrored him as I walked upstairs.
"Well?" Rose said.
"Well what?" I asked still in a daze.
"Did you make the Quidditch team?" Pansy asked.
"Yeah, I did." I said absent minded.
"Alright," Lexi started spinning me around to look at her "Who did it to you?"
"Did what?" I asked.
"Bewitched you, of course, you sound like someone charmed you and you are just hearing every word we say." Amelia said.
"It was Draco, wasn't it?" Monique asked
"Maybe, I don't know." I said.
"He kissed her again."
"Yes, and I kissed him back. When I was coming up here, I noticed that he was touching the spot that my lips touched his face."
"Aww, looks like a romance is the picture of the day."
"Shut up, you guys! It was just a harmless little kiss. I have to go to bed; Draco and I are going to the Duelling Club tomorrow."
"Oh, maybe he is going to bewitch you for real to fall in love with him." Pansy said
"Pansy, what part of 'shut up!' don't you understand?" I asked.
"Every bit, when it comes to crushes."
"You guys are impossible! Good night."
I crawled into bed and pulled out the first book I saw. It was a romance novel. What is with people and romance these days! I thought, putting the book down and going to sleep.
