Chapter 3: Beginnings of Beginnings Part II
I was left feeling stunned. Malfoy was willing to try??? Malfoy? Hum…he said he would try…he said to not expect much. Why? Why bother? Aggg….headache.
I finally managed to leave the Heads common room in a hurry, if only I had paid attention I would have noticed the head of silvery blond hair in the darkness.
It was Christmas time in the castle. My favorite time of year, things were going considerably well so far. My grades were great, not that they have ever suffered mind you. No Voldemort attacks, thank goodness. Harry and Ron were considering being Aurors, Tonks came if we had a Hogmeade weekend and the boys just loved hearing about the academy. And Malfoy, well Malfoy had actually been good! I still kept my wand very, very accessible to me whenever he was nearby just in case but he hadn't really given me a reason to be afraid of him. He's gotten to the point where he can actually make idle conversation every now and then or he'll crack a joke….but those are usually ruined by his cool demeanor as soon as he realizes what he has done. Or sometimes when we are in the common room he will come and pat me on the head. At first I thought it was meant as a "you are a pet to be petted" but I quickly realized he doesn't seem to notice when he does it! I don't say anything, a quiet Malfoy is a good Malfoy, he still calls me a Know it All, or Mudblood but each occurrence is less and less common.
I ran down to the Great Hall for the Christmas celebration breakfast, I love breakfast, I've always had a hearty appetite; it beats Ron's any day! I finally managed to find Harry and Ron and squeezed in between them.
"How's working with Malfoy so far?" Ron said, turning a bit red at the ears. He has been acting so weird lately, ever since we returned from the Burrow actually. Now that I think about it, even at the Burrow! He's been sitting closer and sometimes he absent mindedly rubs my back or hands. And when I mention Malfoy and the fact that he hasn't been mean (and by mean I mean he hasn't tried tripping me again or hexing my homework to explode on me, I still have to get him back for that.) Ron gets all red in the face with anger? Jealousy maybe? Ha ha yeah right, jealous, over me.
"He's fine Ron. No, he still hasn't done anything to me. Yes, I will let you know if he does; don't give me that look Ronald! I will!! Harry! Don't laugh, you're not helping!" Boys!
I was enjoying my pudding when I get an owl from him dropped right in my bowl…I immediately turn and stare daggers at him, he just shrugs…brat, he probably told it to drop it on purpose.
***Granger,
Meeting tonight Heads common room.
-DM
P.S. Tell Weasel to breath, he looks like he's about to implode***
Meeting? For what? We don't have anything coming up? Did Dumbledore assign something to him last minute? Did I forget something?!!
I looked over at Ron who was giving Malfoy a murderous look.
"Its just pudding Ron, breath" I say.
"ITS JUST PUDDING?!!, HARRY!! DID YOU HEAR HER! ITS JUST PUDDING!!"
I cant help it, its too funny, I laughed.
