Chapter Four
How Does It Go?
Cassie had been going to Hogwarts for a month now. She had a few First year friends, but the majority of her friends were older kids in Gryffindor. She had met Fred and George Weasley, Ginny's older brothers, and immediately connected with them. She loved pranks and joking around and they were the Kings of that world. Her best friends though were Ginny, Hermione and Victoria. The four girls were rarely separated save for classes. Cassie had top marks in her grade and had been told that she might be as good with magic as Hermione Granger. Cassie smiled, knowing that she could never be as good as the older girl. Cassie looked up to Hermione. She strongly admired her and desperately sought her help with homework and spells. Hermione was always happy to help, and even helped Cassie study for tests and quizzes she knew were coming.
Cassie couldn't believe how amazing school was. Gryffindor house was so much more than her parents had thought. It was a very welcoming place, and once people got over her name, they realized how different she was from her brother. When they heard that she was friends with Hermione and Harry, they immediately knew she must be ok. Cassie was a pretty enough girl, and though she had probably caught the eyes of many guys, only one had caught her eye and kept it. And though Hermione and Victoria and Ginny knew that she was crushing on someone, she vowed to never tell them who.
A few days ago Dumbledore had mentioned the TriWizard Tournament. Cassie was excited and knew that almost no one she knew would be able to become the Hogwarts Champion. Though she did know that no matter who it was, her brother would find fault with them. Cassie respected her brother... to a certain extent. He was occasionally snobby, and rude, but for the most part he was a changed man. She hoped that he would find a girl. And soon. If not, Cassie would have to take it into her own hands to find a girl for him.
Cassie had already started looking out for possible romances for her brother. There were a few girls on her mind, none of them reached any of the standards that she wanted for her brother, but a few of them were very nice girls. Cassie hoped that maybe her brother would find someone he liked well enough in Slytherin. She didn't know any Slytherins, due to her being a Gryffindor and all. But she doubted that he would really like any of them.
Cassie watched her brother as he entered the library and sat down at a table far away from her. He probably hadn't seen her as he entered. Which was unusual for Draco, because he noticed everything whenever he entered a room. Something was distracting him, and whatever that was it was at the very front of his mind. Cassie was gonna stay where she was, and see what was distracting him so much. She stayed just out of his line of sight, so he wouldn't see her. But he wasn't paying attention to the other people in the Library. He was watching the door. Very intently. It was like he knew someone was going to come through it in a while and whoever it was, was the object of his greatest obsession.
Cassie watched at Hermione Granger stepped through the doors of the library, her nose buried deep in a book, and her feet taking her on an often traveled journey. She never looked up as she walked directly to a table, and sat down. And yet she kept reading, never taking her eyes off the book. Cassie barely noticed Draco shove the chair out just a bit, allowing Hermione to continue on her path without looking. Apparently he knew Hermione wouldn't be looking up anytime because he stared at her openly. His smile kept getting bigger, with every passing second he seemed like he was happy just be near her.
Cassie narrowed her eyes, unsure of what she was really seeing. But it seriously looked like her brother was nearly in love. she couldn't believe it. Maybe it was something real? Could it be? Draco Malfoy actually found a girl he liked? Cassie dismissed the thought nearly immediately. How could this have happened without the world ending? It was impossible. Cassie turned away, but unfortunately turned directly into a bookcase. The noise made such a ruckus that Draco leaped out of his seat and hid behind a neighboring bookshelf, out of Hermione's line of sight and out of danger. Cassie barely caught this last act, but she did nonetheless and saw Hermione look over at the chair that had recently been occupied by Draco. She also saw Hermione's eyes narrow as she looked at the chair. She knew something had recently occupied that chair, and she knew that whatever it was, had gone quite quickly and silently.
Cassie was so confused, but knew that no matter what happened, her brother would never admit that it had happened. She sat down on a window seat, and tried to think about what was going to happen now. But every time she tried to think about her brother and his potential love life, her mind wandered to her own love life. She wanted this to really happen. She wanted to tell Ginny, and get her help to make it happen. But she didn't want her brother to know. She knew the things her brother had said to and about this guy. She knew that no matter what she thought about him, her brother would disapprove and if she didn't listen to him he would tell their parents.
But Cassie couldn't think about that. It was nearly impossible, because she couldn't get her mind off of him. He was such a nice guy. And was polite to almost everyone. She smiled as she thought about him and started doodling on a piece of parchment. He was such a good guy, and she really liked him. She knew she was going to have to tell Ginny at least. Either that, or Ginny would find out on her own. She was scary, she was. She knew everything. No matter what it was. Ginny would eventually find out, and it was better for Cassie's safety if she told Ginny before she found out on her own. But how would she tell Ginny? How would Ginny react to this? How would Victoria and Hermione react to it? Cassie dreaded thinking of how her brother would react. She didn't want to even think about it.
