"Don't talk out loud. You lower the IQ of the whole street." Cho spat as she stepped around Draco and his two minions.
The snickers that arose from the small crowd of students that were present in the hall made Draco fume. How dare he be belittled like that in public. As he reached for her a hand stopped him.
"I wouldn't do that Malfoy. It would be a shame if the Slytherin team had to forfeit tomorrow because its seeker was in the infirmary." Cedric warned.
Draco glared at the older Hufflepuff but knew that his warning had not been an empty one.
"I have no idea what you're talking about Diggory."
"Glad you understand."
Draco huffed but stayed quiet. He needed to go to class and arguing with a Hufflepuff was not productive, and Cho had already left.
As he made his way to class he tried to identify what had caused the usually quiet Ravenclaw to go spiteful. All he had said was, "Care to ride my broom? It's bigger than anyone else's."
He had been trying to return a nice favor for another. She had lent him her notes and offered to help catch him up, since he had been in the infirmary for a day thanks to Potter and his gang. He in turn had just offered her his broom to fly. It wasn't like...
Draco stopped short of the classroom door. Mouth agape. Suddenly the small gasps from some and the snickers from others (namely Crabbe) made sense. Snapping his mouth shut he silently vowed to himself never to offer his broom to ride again.
