"What's that?" A sinister sounding voice said as someone snatched the piece of parchment from my hands.

"Give that back Malfoy." I said as I stood up and reached over the table to try to snatch back the paper.

Draco smirked, "Why? Is it a love letter?" He teased as he made kissing faces and noises.

"No. But don't you know that you shouldn't take what isn't yours?"

Draco crumpled up the paper and threw it back on the table.

"Oh come on, lighten up."

I rolled my eyes as I quickly stuffed the paper in my school bag and sat back down.

I grabbed the potions book and re-opened it to the front.

"What are you doing here anyways?"

Draco pulled out the chair across from me and sat down, folding his hands on the table with that familiar smirk still there.

"Remember, we are partners for this project. Plus, you don't bother me. Yet."

I wiped a piece of my dark brown hair out of my face, slammed my book shut and stood up.

"Well you are bothering me."

I pushed my chair in and started to walk down the rows of book shelves. I could hear the loud feet of someone following close behind me.

"Evolet. Evolet!" Draco's stern voice called out.

"What!"

"We really should get this project done with as soon as possible. I don't have time to waste, I do have other things to do." Draco said.

I let out a small laugh. "Like what? Stare in the mirror at yourself for hours? Or no wait, make out with Pansy in the east wing corridor?"

Draco's face got serious, "No, other things that don't concern you."

"Fine." I smiled.

I turned around and walked down the library again, feeling annoyed but proud all at the same time. I was socially inept around boys, thanks to the all-girl boarding school I went to. But Draco wasn't a boy; he was… well just a pain.

I pushed past the students who were all wearing robes of different house colors. I had a feeling Draco was still following me and I wanted to get rid of him for good. I still didn't know the school too well and to be honest I wasn't quite sure of where I was heading too. By now I already made my way up two flights of stairs and by the view from the thick glass windows, I noticed I was on the top floor of the school. I walked down the hall and noticed that it was dark, and their weren't too many students. The only ones were either in the dents of the hall making out, performing magic that they could easily get detention for, and other mishaps.

I pulled my potions book closer to me and kept my head down, not wanting to make any eye contact. I had a feeling these weren't very trust worthy students up here. Plus, if I didn't know where I was going I certainly didn't want to be taken advantage of.

"Wouldn't expect you here."

I looked up from the floor to see Draco standing in front of me.

"How did you get –"

"Tonight, after dessert meet me up here. We'll start the work on the project. Don't forget your books." Draco interrupted me. His face was only a few inches away from mine, which made me nervous.

"I don't care for your bossy attitude."

Draco smirked, "Oh you know you like a man in charge."

"You're right; I do like a man in charge. When you find a real man, let me know." I winked as I brushed past him.

Tonight would be the first night that I would be in the hands of Draco Malfoy.

Great.
