Two

Butterflies

Dullcy's heart was racing; she sat at the Gryffindor table, in the same clothes she had worn yesterday. She smelt her shoulder – it reminded her of Malfoy, she touched her cheek, it reminded her of Malfoy. She closed her eyes – it reminded her of Malfoy.

"Hmm" she breathed as Ginny took a seat next to her.

"You must have got up early" She said in her usual cheery voice, but Dullcy didn't hear her.

"Ah, what" said Dullcy after Ginny recited her name 3 times "Yeah…" she said "I…I…I fancied a walk" finished Dully

"At five in the morning" Ginny said inquisitively, Dullcy nodded… I'm busted she thought.

"Someone's crazy… and it's not me!" Ginny finished, Dullcy sighed. "Yum Pancakes – mmm, mmm, mmm, my favourite!" Ginny smothered her pancakes in maple syrup and started to pig in.

"You do realise that is absolutely revolting" Said Dullcy in amusement "The only way to eat pancakes is with honey, maple syrup is raw sugar"

"And-I-wuve-it!" She said with a full mouth, Dullcy laughed.

"You do know maple syrup is one hundred percent sugar don't you" Sounded an unfamiliar voice, they whole Gryffindor table laughed.

"Dullcy just said that a minute ago Harry" Ginny said swallowing.

Dullcy looked up from the daily profit after hearing her name mentioned, only to be greeted by the smiling face of Harry Potter

"Great minds think alike aye" He said, whilst sitting down and holding out a hand "I'm Harry"

"Dullcy" Said Dullcy "Pleased to meet you" shaking his hand.

"The only way to eat pancakes is with good old fashioned honey" Said Harry, Ginny laughed again, Dullcy smiled intrigued by the boy who appeared to have stolen her mind.

"I do believe you've stolen my thoughts" Said Dullcy getting butterflies in her stomach,

Ginny laughed "Great minds think alike" she repeated mocking Harry and they all laughed.

Dullcy went back to reading, Ginny went back to eating and Harry went back to gazing, this girl was unlike any he had ever seen before. She was not only beautiful, but she didn't gawp when his voice was said, she didn't pretend to know him, she just treated him like any other boy… Harry liked it.

He kept on staring out her until Ron's clumsiness interrupted him, as he tried to sit down he made the table shudder and knocked over several Pumpkin juices.

"Damn it" He cursed as he started to try to mop it up with the serviettes, Dullcy pulled out her wand and muttered "Scourgify" and instantly the juice expired. "Okay, well that solves the problem" Said Ron sitting down wiping his brow with the now dry serviette, not bothering to thank her.

"Honestly Ron" Said Ginny "Sometimes I think you're a squib" The sound of laughter was followed by Ginny's last comment, and Harry looked straight at Dullcy who looked straight at him, butterflies erupted in his stomach, she was no ordinary girl.

Authors notes:

This was a short chapter in comparison to the first. It also very monumental being the introduction of Harry Potter! You will see where their relationship goes as the story continues. Do the computer on the dance floor!
