Chapter 2
Draco and the girl went to the library after walking around the castle. Even though it's already midnight they managed to break through the doors of the library.
"So you read muggle books, I see." Draco asked.
"Yes." She said, mockingly.
"But why, you're in slytherin, and you certainly act like a pureblood princess, you can't like muggles." Draco said.
"You thought I'm in slytherin and a pureblood?" She asked, surprised.
"Wha- you mean you're not a slytherin? Then there can be a possibility that you're a Gryffindor, or worse, a Hufflepuff. Now, are you?"
"Maybe." She said, smirking.
"If that's the case then, I ought not to know. But we'll know won't we? We just have to take off our masks." Draco added as he reached out to take hers off.
She held up a hand and effectively stopped him from reaching out. "Remember our deal? We won't be taking them off for the rest of the night."
"Then how will I know who you are?"
"You won't"
"That can be dealt with if you tell me your name."
"I don't want to."
"You have got to be kidding me." He said, frowning.
"You just have to trust your instincts, don't you? In time, you'll know."
There was a long pause before he felt the need to lighten up the mood.
"So, do you like going here in the library? I mean do you really love books?" he asked.
"I love books! They're like the best thing ever made, for me." She responded. "Do you love books?" She asked.
"Not that much, but I read books mostly when I'm alone or needs space." He responded.
The girl threw a thick black book towards Draco. "What is this? Some of those Muggle books you read?" Draco asked.
"Yes. That is one of the best books I've ever read." She answered. As she was answering his question, Draco looked at the book as the title reads Pride and Prejudice.
"Pride and prejudice, eh? The title sounds pretty good." Draco said as he opened the book and read it. "H J? Is that your initials?" He asked. He watched as her eyes widened.
"Yes." The girl answered.
"No. I'll stop here. I'll just think of a person I know with initials HJ." Draco said and brought the book back to the girl.
"Keep it. You'll need it someday." She said.

As she was reading, the moon reflected her skin perfectly that made her lips even more seductive and Draco was so tempted with it. She looked at him while Draco was looking back and her eyes twinkled like those stars every night. Until Draco brushed his lips to hers. And the kiss deepened and surprisingly she kissed back. The taste of cherry and strawberry mixed is what he tasted on her lips. He saw the way she widened her eyes the moment they kissed and Draco enjoyed the way she kissed back, but it didn't last that long because she suddenly pushed Draco off her and Draco hit the wall hard.
"Why did you do that?" Draco said while groaning in pain.
"I think I should be the one asking that question! And you deserved it, you kissed me you see." The girl shouted.
"You kissed back!" Draco shouted back.
"No. No. I can't trust you again."
"Trust me agai—"
"You don't even know me!"
"Do you know me then?" Draco said, in a thought-provoking voice.
"You're an arrogant git and you're personality sucks! You're none other than the boy with the platinum hair and the amazing bouncing ferret, in short Draco Malfoy." The girl spat.
Draco's eyes widened. How did she know I am Draco? And why did she say "Trust me again"? Many questions flooded Draco's mind, many questions that has no answers.
He was left there in the dark while he watched the girl walk away.
"Stay." Draco said, silently. And he was the only one who heard it.
He waited for her to be out of his sight and then he stood up, he heard something crack underneath his left foot and when he raised his foot, he saw a silver hair clasp with green gems on it. Is this hers? Draco thought.

When Draco entered the slytherin common room, Pansy Parkinson run to him and gave him a big hug. There's nothing that Draco can do, but to push her away and he did. His mood was starting to be worse than it was a while ago, she always appear when he is really furious and that is what Draco called bad timing.
"Drakie-poo, are you mad at me?" Pansy said, mimicking the voice of a baby.
"Not now, Pansy." Draco said.
"Why Draco?" Pansy said, while messing with his hair.
"I said not now!" Draco shouted, glaring at her. And then Pansy took a step backward and ran to the girls' dormitory. "Here we go again." Draco said, and let out a long sigh.

"Draco, wake up. Potions is our next class." Blaise said.
"uh-huh?" Draco said, covering his eyes with his arms to block the sunlight out.
"It's Monday, remember?" Blaise asked.
"Oh, I forgot!" he said and then Draco got up from his bed and grabbed his slytherin robes and went straight to the bathroom to take a bath.
It's already 7:55 when Draco was done taking a bath and he needs to skip breakfast just not to be late for Potions. He walked fast up the stairs and along corridors until he reached the classroom. He sat at the back of the room with Blaise and they wait for a couple of minutes until Professor Slughorn appeared in the room.
"Good Morning, class. We're not going to stay in the laboratory today because I'm going to group you by pairs-" Slughorn said, and as the statement came out of his mouth, the class went wild. Slughorn cleared his throat and everyone went still. "I said, I'm going to group you by pairs. I'm the one who will pair you up." He said and the class was filled with disapproving groans. "And as I was saying, I'm going to group you by pairs because you're going to make a hate potion also known as Silver Stock potion."
"First pair, Pansy Parkinson and—"Slughorn said. And Draco hoped that he won't be Pansy's partner. "—Neville Longbotton. " And Draco sighed. "Second pair, Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley" and the room went wild, because everyone knows Harry likes Ginny. "Third pair, Ron Weasley and Lavender Brown"
"Won won!" Lavender shouted with her cheeks red, while everyone else was teasing them. But something grabbed Draco's attention, it was Granger, she wasn't riding with the fun. The scene seems to dis—
"—and Draco Malfoy" Slughorn said, and the room broke into silence. And Granger was giving him a disgusted look.
"What happened?" Draco asked.
"You're paired up with Granger." Blaise whispered. Draco's eyes widened. And for several minutes, it felt like the earth stopped from moving. I'm paired up with a know-it-all mudblood.
"Okay then, sit with your partners now while I discuss the mechanics of your project." Slughorn said. And Draco didn't want to move, he just waited for Granger to sit beside him.
