Draco sat under a tree by the lake, the bark of the trunk digging into his back.
"You shouldn't be outside alone."
He turned to face the speaker. A blonde Ravenclaw girl had appeared out of nowhere.
"Neither should you," he retorted as he started to get up.
"Don't get up. I won't bother you. I just came to see if you were alright."
At that moment, he had been contemplating what other spells he could try on the Vanishing Cabinet and didn't want to be disturbed. Her words made him lose his concentration.
"Why would you care if I'm alright or not?" he asked, studying her face.
"You already know the answer to that." She replied, which didn't answer his question at all. She glanced down at the bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans in his hands.
"Do you still eat those?" she inquired of him, peering into the bag. "Apparently not, there are quite a few left."
"Those are all the green and black ones. I never eat those." He drawled, wondering when she'd go if she said she wouldn't bother him.
"How come?"
"I don't remember. Are you going to leave me alone, or do I have to go into the Forbidden Forest to find a quiet spot?" Draco demanded, starting to get irritated. He had been patient long enough.
When he looked up at her, however he was startled. She was smiling at him.
"I'll leave you alone, if you give me all the grass and black pepper beans you have in that bag." She told him, with an amused tone to her voice.
He shoved it at her, glad to get rid of her. It wasn't until she was halfway back to the castle when he recalled why he never ate the green or black beans.
