Chapter nine
Draco POV
I held Arella's hand as we walked down the street to the Three Broomsticks. We didn't really talk walking to the Three Broomsticks. I stopped and looked at her when we entered the store "Where would you like to sit?" She smiled and pointed to a table in the corner of the room "Is that okay?" I smiled and nodded my head "I'll go get our drinks." She smiled and walked over to the table; I walked over to the counter and ordered to butter beers and carried them over to the table.
I sat her drink on the table and sat down across from her. I smiled at her "So are you really thinking about trying out for the Quidditch team?" She nodded her head "Yeah, I am." I smiled at her and took a sip of my drink. She smiled back "I don't really think I'm all that great at it. But it's worth a try." I nodded "I'm sure your pretty good." I smiled at her, she smiled back and looked at the door and made a unpleasing face. I looked at the door and noticed non-other than Pansy Parkinson.
I rolled my eyes and looked back at Arella hoping Pansy didn't see us. Arella shrugged at me and started to talk again "Maybe she'll just go away." She laughed lightly "What am I saying its Pansy she won't just go away." I laughed a little and smiled at her. I noticed Pansy looked over at us, she frowned at me. I laughed a little and looked at Arella, she laughed and waved at Pansy. Pansy stormed out of the store.
Arella looked at me and smiled "Well we got rid of her." I laughed and took another sip of my drink. She smiled and took a sip of her drink. "You know I really thought you were like the worst person ever." I looked at her and she continued "But you're actually pretty awesome." She giggled I could tell she hated giggling she frowned every time she did. I smiled at her "Well, Thanks." She smiled back at me and nodded.
Arella POV
We were sitting at the Three Broomsticks and he looked at me, I continued "But you're actually pretty awesome." I giggled, I frowned 'merlin I hate giggling' he smiled at me and spoke "Well, thanks." I smiled back at him and nodded. I took a sip of my drink and then looked up at him. He smiled at me again. I was beging to think something was wrong he was smiling so much. I really only seen him smirk, but I liked seeing him smile.
I smiled back at him "Is there somewhere else you want to go?" I could tell he was just trying to make conversation. I thought for a moment "no not really." I smiled at him and looked at the door. He stood up and walked over beside me. He held out his hand, I grabbed his hand and stood up. We walked to the door we stopped "you want to just go back to the common room?" I smiled and replied "Yea that sounds great." He smiled back and we walked out the door.
Before we got to the school I had the strange feeling someone was watching us, or maybe just me. I didn't say anything about it I figured it would be kind of odd. We finally got to the school, we walked to the entrance of the common room. We sat down on the black leather couch, Draco looked at me "Are you having fun?" I think he might have noticed that something was bothering me. I mean of course something was bothering me, I thought someone was following us.
I smiled again "of course I'm having fun, why would I not." I laughed a little he smiled at me "It just seems like something's wrong" I looked at him and sighed "Well on the way here I felt like someone was watching us or following us." He gave me a confused look and I continued "I know it sounds crazy but I really think someone was watching us." I shrugged and there was a pause for a little while.
Draco POV
I sighed and looked at Arella "Well, I didn't see anyone that looked they were watching us at all, did you?" She shook her head "Not really" She sighed and I smiled at her "it's probably nothing." I smiled I knew it had to be someone in my family. My parents are always watching to make sure I don't do anything dumb. She smiled at me when the door of the common room opened.
A few of the third years walked in followed by Blaise he walked over and sat down beside Arella. She smiled at him; he smiled back and asked "Did you guys have a good time?" Arella smiled again "Of course!" He laughed and smiled I shook my head at him "Did you and Ginny have a good time?" He smiled really big "Yes!" Arella laughed "I'm so sure she had a good time too." He smiled again.
Arella turned and looked at me and smiled "I had an amazing time, Malfoy." She giggled a little and kissed me on the cheek "But I'm going to head up stairs and make sure my sister hasn't gone through my stuff." I smiled back at her, Blaise smirked at me. Arella walked up the stairs and Blaise smacked me on the shoulder "somebody defiantly likes you." I smirked at him "You really think so?" He shook his head.
He smirked at me and I shook my head. Blaise stood up and walked over to the stairs "I'm going to bed now." He shook his head, I laughed and looked at the fire. Why would someone be following us, I didn't understand why someone would do that. I thought for a minute, it had to my mother. She wants me to eventually marry Pansy. I can't even imagine marrying her. I shook my head and walked up the stairs to my room.
