AN: Sorry it's been so long since I've updated and sorry that this is a really short chapter but I've been kind of busy. I'm going to try to update more regularly from now on. Anyway, enjoy.
Chapter 15: Something Amiss
Draco looked through into the courtyard and saw Lily. He was about to approach her when he saw Hagrid call out to her and she walked over to him. He withdrew back into the shadows and watched them. It annoyed him that she was so friendly with the stupid oaf. What could she possibly get out of a friendship with him? He narrowed his eyes and watched the short conversation play out, unable to hear what they were saying. When Hagrid finally walked away Draco drifted over quietly.
"I hope you two aren't up to anything," he said.
She jumped at his voice but turned around smiling.
"You scared me," she said. "What do you mean up to something?"
"I just think you should be careful around...him," replied Draco as he looked over at the distant figure of the half-giant.
Lily looked too although her expression did not display the disgust that Draco's did.
"Hagrid?" she asked, genuinely surprised by the idea.
"Yes, Hagrid," said Draco looking back at her. "He keeps a lot of dangerous creatures. Creatures that I don't think even he can control," he said which was true but not the only reason that he didn't want Lily to associate with Hagrid.
"Don't be ridiculous. There is no one I'd trust more than Hagrid," she said defensively. "I've never felt threatened around him or the creatures he keeps."
"Very well," replied Malfoy stiffly, annoyed by Lily not taking his side. He knew the best way to deal with her so he softened his tone and said; "I just want to know that you're safe."
The effect was immediate; her frown disappeared and a smile took its place; "I'm fine," she said.
Draco returned the smile and, noticing that the courtyard was beginning to attract more students, turned and left. He smiled to himself knowing that Lily Potter was watching him.
