and also a thank you to Silverred89 (again) cause i wouldn't have gotten this chapter done without her (p.s. she is Natalie Carson in the story)

Draco:

Draco actually wouldn't be at Hogwarts if it wasn't for Voldemort's attack. But now, Professor McGonagall had ordered an eighth year at Hogwarts for the previous seventh year students because of lost work they would have done during the time Voldemort was here.

Draco rounded a corner in the library and came across a certain someone. He cringed at the sight. "Blaise Zabini, stop that and get a room," he snarled at them. Blaise looked up and left a startled Natalie Carson as he grabbed Draco by the arm and led him away.

"Were you spying on us?"

"No," Draco retorted, "but I could clearly see what you guys were doing!"

"It was nothing, Draco," he said.

"But you were snogging her!"

Blaise turned away from him and went back to Natalie who was still quite scared. "Come on," he heard him say to her. As they turned the corner to leave, Blaise glared at him.

Later that day, he and Isabel had mostly finished their studying. Draco hadn't really found it the most entertaining but he hadn't really listened the while time. Instead he had stared at her. (Totally not creepy right?)

"So what makes you not good at Muggle Studies?" he asked, "if you're so good at all the others."

She turned to face him. "Well actually I am Muggle born but I was raised with by parents who did know magic so I'm not really familiar with the Muggle world."

His mouth fell open. She was a Muggle? A Mudblood? Like Granger? What the heck!

He shut his mouth quickly and uttered a shaky nod.

"Well then I guess we're done," she said, "Bye, Draco. I had fun." then she beamed. Draco's stomach did a little flip and he felt his heart beat faster. But what was he thinking. Was he falling for a Mudblood? What would other people think? Surely he wasn't exactly hated as much as before because of his earlier refusal to Voldemort and his parents, but still. Hermione Granger was a Mudblood, and she was as annoying as ever. But Isabel? He felt his heart skip a beat. She was... Ummm... Well... Cute? Pretty? Beautiful? All of the above?

He later pinched himself in the arm for thinking that way. Now he sounded like Blaise when he was swooning over Natalie. Plus it also sounded a little cheesy.

Later, when everyone was in the Great Hall eating dinner, Draco sat with a scowl on his face.

"Did you eat a lemon or something?" Blaise asked, "or is something bothering you."

Draco glimpsed at Isabel sitting at the Ravenclaw table.

"Oh my gosh you're serious, Draco?" he yelled. Then he started snickering. Then it turned into laughing.

"What do you mean, Blaise?"

Blaise laughed even harder. "You got the hots for a Ravenclaw!" he bellowed.

Draco averted his eyes away from him. "Shut it, Blaise," he snarled, "and what does it matter anyway? You're dating Natalie Carson and she's in Ravenclaw."

Blaise was still laughing. "But Natalie isn't a Mudblood," he sneered, "Isabel is."

Draco stared at him. "You know her?"

"Aww can't share your GF with other people," he teased. Draco's face was now red. Blaise kept laughing. "And anyway she's Natalie's best friend."

Once again Draco smacked Blaise on the head.
