Chapter Three
I watched Addison look back to her father, sitting at the staff table. On her face was a questioning look. Her eyebrows wrinkling her forehead, her beautiful eyes holding concern as well as any mother duckling. Her father's face glowed, for the first time in my life, with a pride that emanated love. This was the happiest and scariest Professor Snape ever looked. I refocused my attention back on Addison once she moved off of the stool. The enitre Great Hall didn't make a sound until the Gryffindors, out of no where, erupted with excitement. They hooted and hollared until then Slytherins murmurs of disgust were drowned. It went on for about five minutes until Dumblesnore quieted them with a hand.
She walked slowly to the Gryffindor table. Her shoes made a clicking nose upon the stone as she made her way. I never took my eyes off of her. I memorized every bit of detail about her, knowing that the train was the last moment I could ever show my true colors to her. I memorized how her long hair bounced with each step. How her jumper hugged the curve of her breast. How the bit of thigh peeked out from under her skirt as she lifted up her knee to take a step. Her full lips, rosy and sweet, pressed together. She was supposed to be a new adventure and now she's an enemy.
I observed how the Gryffindors watched intently as she chose her seat. There were few open spaces and she had only a few seconds to choose. There was open by Potter, McLaggen and a random Gryffindork I didn't know. Her hands clutched the side of her skirt and I knew that she had limited options. I thought she would choose Potty but she chose the random Gryffindor. She pushed her skirt under her bum and sat down. Her thin, shapely fingers pushed her dark hair behind her ears and then it happened. She turned her head over her perfect shoulder and looked at me with those gorgeous eyes. Really looked at me.
Warmth flooded my spine and blood rushed. Her fingers glided from her ear, her neck and finally to her shoulder. How I wish my hand was upon her shoulder instead. I, finally looked into her eyes. They were a striking blue but something was different. They were darker from the inside to the outer rim. I wanted to see those eyes closer up but I can't. Not now, that she's in Gryiffindor. Father says I have a reputation to uphold. She brushed her hair behind her ear turned away. My heart flipped into my stomach.
I fell back into my own world of plotting and conversion. I looked back at my plate and saw it was filled with a variety of food. Pansy must have filled it during my..moment. I picked up my fork and "tuned in" to what Pansy was rambling on about. I just tuned into my selective hearing.
Dinner flew by in a flash. I didn't even realize until Blaise tapped my shoulder and told me that we had to go to the Common room. I couldn't stop thinking of her. Not when I brushed my teeth, not putting on pajamas, nor slipping between the sheets. I thought she hadn't seen me , that maybe it was a fluke and I was imagining things.
Until the nest day rolled around and I was pinned in a library corner.
