6. New Kid Chapter 6

AURA

I walked down the rows of tables in the Great Hall with Hermione. I had a skip in my step, knowing that I was, apparently, the only Muggle-born that Draco likes. Like yesterday, I sat back to back with Hermione. I was turned around, chatting with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, when I heard clicking footsteps approaching.

I turned around to see Draco coming up beside me and taking a seat next to me. He surveyed his surroundings, and stopped his gaze on Hermione.

"Granger." he said.

"Malfoy." she said, and turned around, facing her back towards him.

He looked at Harry and Ron, and nodded at them. They just stared back. Eventually, Draco spun around in his seat. I glanced back at my friends, then turned around with Draco.

He looked over at me, and smiled weakly. Then, he put his arm around my waist. I heard gasps come from Harry and Ron behind me. My own breath caught, but eventually I calmed down. But that doesn't mean my heartbeat did. Draco stayed with his arm around me the entire breakfast. And I could hardly seperate myself from him to go to my first class. And neither could he.
