Bleeding Heart: chapter 14

Draco pov:
I strutted across the Great Hall, to the profound pureblood's. They were clapping, not jumping up, and down like the Gryffindor's were, just clapping. What, you can't expect any thing more from upstanding Slytherin's like myself.
She wasn't looking at me.
I frowned.
I picked up speed, and made it quickly to the long table. It had a long pice of fabric down the middle. There were gold; plates, goblet's, candle holder's, and silverware. It was slightly darker at the table then the rest of the room. The candle holders, held new white scentless candles. The candles made an eery light on their faces. With every breath the flame shifted causing a shadow on the faces around me. The table was placed at the giant window that covered most of the wall. The moon was in the frame. It looked like it was enlarged, because it covered most of the window.
I sat down, across from Hermione. I exhaled through my nostrils, and made the light flicker. I looked at the brunette, and caught my breath
The moon behind her made her hair a few shades lighter. Her hair almost looked like it was glowing, there was streaks of gold and blue in her hair. She looked up at me through her long lashes, making her more innocent then before. She blushed, and tucked a pice of her hair behid her ear. The light on her face along with the blush, gave her the look of pure beauty. I honestly think Aphrodite finally has some competition. She looked away from me, and within a split second it felt like the moon shifted, the light moved, and everything changed.
About as soon as it happened, everything changed. Pansy sat down at my side. Hermione was talking to Blaise again. Everyone got sorted, and my one chance to make it right slipped through my fingers.
Head Master Dumbledore started to talk, but I didn't hear any of it.
I was watching the breath taking brunette. she was listening to the professor with compleate attention, taking in every word.
The old man finished to soon, because she looked at me , and I had to look away.
Food filled the table, and the older kids were starting to pass around plates.
I looked around at the faces around me, I knew most of them. There was a sense of order in the group. the back of the table was in charge. You could tell, because the other around them would do something then look at the back as if asking for approval. They would either nod or shake their head.
I looked at some of the other tables wondering if it was the same at each, it wasn't.
The Gryffendorks, well, most of them were stuffing their faces, laughing, smiling, having fun.
The Hufflepuff weren't paying much attention to the food. Most of them were hugging, and crying. Others were just talking excitedly about there summer.
The Ravenclaw's were just talking. They were probably the most like us. They talked normally, they weren't showing a lot of emotion, but you could see a spark of happiness in there eye's.
I looked back to my table, looking for that spark. I looked for about five minutes but, I didn't find it.
The only person that could even be close to have it, would have to be Hermione. There was a sense of sadness in her eye's. She did a good job in hiding it, but it was there only to be seen by though's who looked. She looked up at me. I looked at her for a few more seconds, then sneered at her. Her eyes hardened, and she glared at me. I looked away and caught sight of a seventh year.
Her name was Mariah she was on the shorter side, but she had a way to make you feel insignificant. She was rumored to be a descendant of a powerful seer. She caught my eye, then she looked away. I looked at were she was looking, and saw Hermione. Mariah then looked back at me, her mouth turned into a knowing smile.
My mouth fell open in shock, what the hell kind of game is she playing! I snapped my mouth shut, and looked down at my food.
I picked up my fork, and started to mess my food together, while think all the possible meanings that smile could have meant. I got an ugly brown color, when the old man stood up again, and sent us off to our rooms.
Two Slytherin's stood off too the side, and waited for the hall to clear.
Once most of the others left the two Slytherin's turned, and walked out of the enormous hall.
