I woke up the next morning and saw that all the girls were already awake and out of the dorm. I yawned and stretched. My hand knocked against my bedside table and hit a small box, knocking it to the floor. Blinking, I got out of bed and retrieved it. The box was green with a silver ribbon on it. A small piece of parchment was folded under the ribbon. I wiggled it out and opened it. Two things were written in dark green ink.
For you. You'll find out who I am very soon.
I stared at the note and then got dressed. I pulled on a pair of loose dark blue jeans and a loose green T-shirt with the words "It's just a flesh wound!" written on it. I brushed out my hair and then picked up the box and walked down into the empty common room. I pulled off the ribbon and stowed it in my pocket. I opened the box and gasped. Inside the box was a silver heart with a green heart shaped stone inside it on a thin silver chain.
"I need to know who gave this to me," I muttered as I pulled the necklace from the box and put it on. I left the common room and went down to the Great Hall.
"Midge!" Becky cried waving me over to the Gryffindor table where she and Mitch were sitting. I walked over and slid into the seat in-between them. Since I was late to breakfeast there was hardly anyone left in the Great Hall so I could sit with my friends if I wanted to. Also it was Sunday. On weekends we didn't have to sit with our Housemates.
"Hey guys look what I found on my bedside table," I said showing them the necklace.
"Who the hell gave you that!?" Becky cried. "That looks like it cost a fortune!" I shrugged.
"I dunno," I replied. "The note said I would find out soon though." She grinned at me.
"Schy's got a secret admirer!" I rolled my eyes and began eating.
Later as we were once again wandering about aimlessly, Malfoy came up to us.
"What'd you want Malfoy?" Mitch asked. Malfoy's eyes flickered to him and then back to me.
"I came to talk to Schyler not that it's any of your business."
"Well then talk," Becky said. "She's right here."
"Hiya Malfoy," I said waving at him. He smirked.
"I want to talk to you alone." I nodded and started to follow him away from my friends.
"Hold it," Becky said catching my wrist and not letting go. "Anything you have to say to her can be said in front of us."
"Beckers," I said trying to tug my wrist out of her grasp. "Let go. I'm a big girl now. I can take care of myself." Becky reluctantly let me go. I followed Malfoy into an empty classroom.
"So what's up Malfoy?" I asked after he had shut the door.
"I see you got the necklace," he said. "I was afraid Pansy would try to take it before you woke up." I gasped and touched the heart.
"You...you mean this is from you?" He nodded and stepped closer to me.
"You like it, don't you?" I nodded and looked up at him.
"I love it," I said. "But why'd you give it to me?" He smirked and touched my cheek.
"Because I wanted to. Now I want to ask you something." I nodded and he looked down into my eyes.
"Will you go out with me?" I stared at him barely breathing.
"You...you mean it?" I asked. He nodded.
"Of course if you don't want..."
"Of course I want to!" I cried cutting him off. "How could I not!?" Malfoy leaned down and kissed me.
"Good," he whispered as he pulled away.
