Draco Malfoy and the Potions Pupil
AN: Hello again. So here's another chapter. I hope you like it. :)
Chapter 5: Falling For the Potions Pupil
Draco had spent the whole night tossing and turning in his bed. He hadn't been sleeping well, not since his first night back at Hogwarts but he just assumed that it must've been nerves or something like that. He'd woken early and headed out to the grounds for a walk to try to clear his head before another day of classes.
He was on his way back to the castle as it was nearly time for the first class of the day. He had his head down and was deep in thought when someone suddenly bumped into him. He lost his footing for a moment but regained it almost immediately. The same could not be said for the other person; Lily Potter.
Oh great, he thought. Of all the people at Hogwarts that he could have ran into it had to be Lily Potter.
"Watch it there, Potter," he said quietly.
"Oh...I...sorry," she mumbled as her face glowed red with embarrassment.
"Well are you going to get up or just sit in the wet grass all day?" he asked as he extended his hand to her in an attempt to ease her embarrassment.
She looked up at him from the ground and their eyes met in a prolonged gaze. Draco's mind was racing as he fought against the thoughts that crept into his mind. He'd just gotten them under control when she finally took his hand.
At her touch his heart began to beat rapidly and Potter's face burned scarlet once again. They both let go as soon as she was standing and she mumbled a thank you as she hid her face behind her long hair.
Draco couldn't help the frown that formed on his brow. What was this effect that she had on him? He'd only felt like this with one other person, but it couldn't be the same thing. It couldn't possibly be the same thing.
"You'd better hurry along, class starts soon," he said as he began to walk back towards the castle.
In truth he had plenty of time to get to class but he had to get away from her. He had to stop himself from feeling like this every time he was near her. If he didn't get this under control soon he'd be in trouble; big trouble.
