DRACO'S POV
I sat up on bed immediately brushing my hair with my hand
I didn't get any sleep last night…again
I haven't slept for three days. I'm exhausted and I have dark bags under my eyes. I went out of the dorm then made my way out
Blaise leaned against the wall, his eyes scanning me
"You haven't got any sleep again?" Blaise said; concerned
I shook my head
Blaise handed me a paper cup with what looked like coffee in it. I took it gratefully then quickly took a chug. The coffee tasted sweet and it was warm, I ended up finishing it in a matter of seconds.
My tiredness was gone but something was still bothering me
I smiled "Thanks, Blaise"
I walked beside Blaise. It was one of those days again
Our first period is Potions
Blaise opened the door to the Potions room where several people are already in their seats. Blaise gave me a nod then with that he headed to the seat next to Potter
Granger was already in the room, her head resting on her arms on the table; eyes shut
I slid next to her, careful not to make any noise. I dropped my knapsack beside me; it gave out a low thump
Granger sat back, alarmed
"It's just me" I whispered, looking at my knapsack evilly
She slumped back on her chair, the expression of relief plastered on her face
Granger's brown eyes had dark bags under them "You didn't get any sleep?"
She looked at me, her eyes soft and tired "Yeah, stupid homeworks"
She looked away when she said 'homeworks' and her voice shrilled. Then, I knew she was lying. Well, she was never good at it. But, I couldn't help but wonder what she actually stayed up all night for.
"It still comes to me as a shock to know that Draco Malfoy likes Ginny Weasley" Granger whispered as if careful not to let anyone hear
I froze, not knowing what to say "Um, yeah"
Granger gave out a laugh "It's cute actually"
"Cute?" I asked my eyes narrowing, my voice sounding sharp "How is that cute?"
Granger shrugged "I guess it came to me as a shock that a bloke like you actually has a heart"
Slughorn went inside the room holding several herbs in his hands. He placed them on the marble table beside him then begun his lesson. I was too tired to listen and I was distracted too. Granger sat beside me, her hands moving gently as she wrote with her quill. Her eyes focused on Slughorn. She looked terribly exhausted and her eyes dropped every few minutes. But, she shook her head trying to get the thought of sleeping away.
I looked away from her. Why am I giving so much attention to Granger?
I folded my arms on the table then let my head drop into it. I closed my eyes and before I fell asleep, another image of Granger flashed before me
HERMIONE'S POV
Prof. McGonagall assigned me as 'head girl' to patrol tonight and since I have finished all of my schoolwork, I accepted the task.
It was already past 11. I walked around the campus scanning the dark hallways. So far, I haven't really caught anyone. I sat on the floor to rest after walking around all night. Suddenly, I saw a light shine and glimmer from the hallway. A dark figure held the light and it was too dark to see who it was. As the figure grow closer, I came to the realization that the figure is a girl. Her hair in a shaggy ponytail and her eyebrows curved into a frown. Then, I remembered that face that had a high resemblance to a pug.
Pansy Parkinson
I immediately stood up when she stopped in front of me
"What are you doing out at this time of night, Parkinson?" I raised my chin
I realized that the light came from her wand. She crossed her arms "Oh you know, walking around"
"You have to go back to your common room now if you don't want to get into trouble"
"And if I don't want to?" She replied with a grin
"Then, I'll have to bring you to Prof. McGonagall" I added
She laughed "And what's McGonagall going to do about it, eh Granger?"
I rolled my eyes "I'm not in the mad to argue with you right now, Parkinson"
She began to walk around me in a small circle "I heard that you and Draco went out yesterday"
I stiffened "To whom did you hear that gossip from?"
Parkinson laughed and it's not in a jolly manner "Don't bother lying about it, Granger. People saw you two and both of you really didn't go out with masks on to hide your identities"
"What is it to you if we did go out?" I frowned, my arms still crossed
She slid a finger down my back and it sent me to a shiver "You do know that I like Draco, right?"
"The whole campus knows, Parkinson" I answered back
"So, you do know" Parkinson used her finger to play with my hair "I am determined to make him mine, Granger"
"Be my guest" I followed her with my eyes and she smiled
"I see the way you look at him" Parkinson smacked her lips "You're lying to yourself if you're saying you don't like Draco"
"Right because you know me better than I know myself" I frowned
She raised a brow "I don't know you better than you know yourself. I just see the way you look at him, how you stare at him during classes"
"I told you, if you like Draco go on ahead" I let my hands drop beside me
"Will that be really alright with you, Granger?" Parkinson whispered "Don't you get that silly feeling in your stomach that wants to stop me?"
"Look, I'm done with you. So just go back to your common room-"
"Whatever you say" She walked away but she stopped on her tracks
"Think about it, Granger" She turned towards me with a grin "I like competition"
