Draco
burst into my room, unnanounced and uninvited. He does this quite
often, although I frequently ask him not to-what if he came in while
I was changing?!
"What are you doing?" he demanded.
"Packing
for school," I replied, without looking at him.
"Can't you
do that later?"
"No."
"Fine. Are you coming to the
party tomorrow?" I panicked. What could I pretend to be doing?!
"I
think we're going to get my new school books tomorrow." I would
ask Cissy and Andy later. They wouldn't mind. Hopefully. Draco
scowled at the floor. Why does he court my company in this strange
manner? Why? Why? Why can't he do it with someone else, someone who
doesn't feel that spending time with him is a worse punishment than
cleaning toilets without magic?!
"Oh look, there's Katriana,"
I lied, glancing out into the corridor, which I could do now, thanks
to Draco throwing the door open. He gave a start then. This is the
only way to get rid of him at times like these. He has some
inexplicable fear of my cat, who is the nicest animal you've ever
met.
"Oh, well, I'd better…lots of…yes…bye." He
stammered, nervously looking in the same direction as I had done, and
scarpered. Thank God for
that, I thought, and
now I'd better go and ask Cissy and Andy about getting my books
tomorrow…
