Chapter 7
"So where's Loony?" Draco asked, as though reading Violette's mind.
"Don't call her that." Violette said, "And she's in the castle grounds in search of Gulping Plimpies in the Dark Lake."
"Why does she believe in those stupid imaginary creatures?" Draco smirked.
"I don't know. Upbringing I suppose." Violette shrugged. "Are you going to tell your friends about us?"
"Perhaps." Draco said simply. Violette nodded. She decided that it was best not to tell her friends just yet. She was worried about how they would react.
"What did you do in Hogsmeade?" Luna said as they sat at the Ravenclaw table for dinner. Draco was sitting right behind them.
"Oh, this and that." Violette lied.
"Did you buy anything?" Luna asked.
"Oh, no. But something did catch my eye." Violette smiled to herself. Out of the corner of her eye she could see the back of Draco's head and could hear Pansy Parkinson asking him where he was all day.
"In Hogsmeade." Violette heard him answering.
"But why weren't you with us?" Pansy asked.
"Because I didn't wan to be, Pansy. Just give it a rest." Draco said, sounding agitated. Violette was listening to their conversation so it took her a while to realise that Luna was talking to her.
"Violette, look. The owls are coming in." Luna said. Violette looked and saw her own tawny owl flying towards her. It landed on her table and held out it's leg.
"Thanks, Strix." Violette said, stroking Strix's head and taking the letter off his leg. She opened it and read.
My dearest Violette,
I thought I'd write to ask how your year is going so far. I hope you are enjoying yourself and are getting on well with you work. Your father has been promoted at work. I hope your having no boy trouble. See you soon.
Lots of love,
Your Mother, Evangeline Smith
Violette's eye's lingered on 'boy trouble'. She smiled. Luna was reading it over her shoulder.
"You should tell you Mother about Malfoy." Luna said.
"What?" Violette said. She felt her muscles tense. How did Luna know?
"He's just bothering you all of the time." Luna said in her musical voice. Violette relaxed. Luna didn't know. Phew, panic over, Violette thought. Later she wrote back to her mother saying that everything was fine and she was getting on well.
Nothing of interest happened, except short conversations, until Defence Against the Dark Arts on Monday. They were listening to Umbridge shouting at Harry, when Draco made Violette jump.
"That's a very short skirt." He whispered. Violette felt herself going red.
"And you would notice?" Violette asked. Draco smirked. Violette felt his hand brush against her bare leg. She looked at his face and saw he was still smirking. She shuffled her chair over slightly. "Get off," She whispered.
"Okay," Malfoy said, and he stared towards Umbridge and occasionally sniggered at Harry getting told off. This is getting mad, Violette thought.
A/N: Okay here's the last chapter I plan to write of this story. I'm completely bored of it. So, in a review beg that it stays before the end of the month, or it gets deleted. Sorry about that. Oh and it's up for grabs if anyone wants to finish it or use it. Just ask me first, please, and give me credit for what ever you take. Thanks, and best regards,
