Draco
As Theodore and Blaise had left to go to the common rooms, I was left wandering around the castle for no reason. After about ten minutes I bumped into Anya as she rounded the corner. ''Whoa, sorry Anastasia.'' I mumbled my apology, in return I got a glare from Anya as I realised what I had called her. I shrugged my shoulders and she asked coldly, ''What are you doing here?'' and I simply replied, ''Nothing, just wandering about the castle...'' she looked at me suspiciously and so I asked back at her, ''What are YOU doing here?'' and she also simply added, ''Same as you..'' after a few moments silence, we ended up walking together. Hopefully no one will take this as a sign that I liked her, because I didn't...I don't think...Oh shut up Malfoy! I said silently to myself.
After a little while I decided to ask, ''Do you have a partner for the hogsmeade trip coming up on Saturday?'' Who knows why I asked that but I now keep telling myself it wasn't because I was interested it was simply that I was trying to make conversation, ''Yes, I'm going with Dean Thomas.'' she replied without a second thought, ''oh, cool...why?'' I asked, not really understanding in full why I was a little disappointed that she had a partner to go with and especially that it was a guy, ''Dean and I are sort of going out.'' she said quietly and I just nodded, not knowing what words would be appropriate to say back to that, not that I could speak anyway because my throat had closed up for no reason.
And with that we said our goodbyes as coldly as we could and made our separate ways to our common rooms. As I entered mine, I saw Zambini and Nott sitting there deep in some unknown conversation which stopped suddenly as I entered; I mean they could have at least tried to make it more subtle that they were talking about me. ''Oh, hey Draco!'' Nott announced as I approached them, I nodded a greeting back and sat down. ''So...you still going to deny feelings for the griffindork hottie? '' Zambini ask the question that I knew was on both their minds, so this must have been what they were talking about when I entered. ''What feelings..?'' I asked curiously, ''Oh come on Draco, we both saw you and Anastasia walking around together!'' Zambini proclaimed with a sigh of relief that what he wanted to say most was out of the way. I looked at him, shook my head and headed for the boys dormitories when I heard one of them shout, ''You can't deny them forever!'' behind me but I kept on walking up the steps as if I hadn't heard them.
