It was Saturday morning and my friends and I were in our common room. For almost an hour we were talking about Potter, actually Draco was the one who was talking, we just listened him.
''Did you hear it?'' Draco asked. That was the first time he asked something this morning.
''What?'' Blaise, Pansy and I said in unison.
Wow well that sounded weird.
''Harry bloody Potter became the seeker for Gryffindor!'' he said with pure disgust in his voice.
''What?! That can't be true!'' I paused for a second trying to process everything. ''First years can't play Quidditch.'' I almost shouted.
''I know!'' Draco shouted and raised his hands.
''Probably being Potter has his privilege.'' Blaise said while lying in the armchair.
That isn't fair! I always wanted to be chaser but it was forbidden for first years to play quidditch because they can get hurt or something like that. That is stupid if you ask me!
''He even got the Nimbus 2000 from professor McGonagall!'' Draco continued talking totally ignoring Blaise.
I was lost in my thoughts and Blaise eventually became bored and soon fell asleep. His right arm was hanging from the end of the armchair and his mouth was half open. He slept so peacefully while he left me with an angry Draco, who was talking to himself, and Pansy. She was laughing at every Draco's joke and she agreed on everything he said about Potter.
''...like every normal person.''
''What did you say?'' I stopped listening to him when he started to speak about how he would be much better seeker then Potter. He can be so annoying sometimes. Actually most of the time. I hate people who think like they are the best in the world. I don't know why I am still talking with him.
''I said, could they just punish him like every normal person?'' he repeats while looking directly at me.
Not only does he speak like he is the king of the world ,he even behave like one. He took almost whole couch, leaving barely any room for anyone else.
''I don't know Draco! He is famous Harry Potter of course he won't be punished , everybody likes him!'' Nothing good will come out of this evening if we start arguing so I decided to pretend like I was interested in this conversation.
''Well I don't like him!'' He said with irritation written all over his face.
''Me neither!'' Pansy agreed.
Through this whole conversation she almost didn't say anything and now she looked desperate for the attention.
After few seconds I stood up and headed to the exit of the common room.
''Excuse me but where do you think you are going? We didn't finsh our talk!'' Draco said while turning to me.
''I'm going to clear my thoughts because if I hear one more thing about Potter my head will explode!'' I put a small smile on my face .
Draco smirked ''Okay, but you will miss all the fun!'' Then he went back on his previous position.
''I doubt that'' I said, and hopefully no one heard me.
I got out and at first I went for a walk near the lake. I wanted to forget about the last potion class we had this week, because my dad decided that putting me to be Granger's partner, as punishment for my misbehavior, was great idea, but obviously it wasn't. After some time I decided to go to the library and find something interesting to read. It was quiet place and I like it for that reason. But today probably wasn't my day because when I entered the library I saw none other than Hermione Granger sitting on my favorite spot.
Like it wasn't enough that I was partner with her on potions, now I have to deal with her every time when I go to the library. She was always there and always in my spot. The light on that spot was perfect ,she probably noticed that too.
I wanted my place back so I went to her. I stood in front of the desk and cleared my throat to make her hear me. But she didn't even lift her head from the book.
''You are on my place!'' I said trying to sound less angry but failing miserably.
''I am sorry I didn't hear you.'' She looked up, her face suddenly darkening when she saw me.'' Oh it's you! What do you want?''
''You are on my place. Again.'' I repeated.
''Your place?! I do not see anything that would claim this spot as yours!'' I couldn't read a single emotion on her face.
''Well it is my favorite place and I am not going to change it.''
''I am not going to change it either. The light here is the most pleasant for reading.'' A small smile appeared on her face.
''Yea it is, that's why I love it.'' I whispered but she heard me.
''You know, since we both like it we could share it if you want?''
I lost my words. She wanted to share it with me!
''Is this some kind of joke?'' I asked still not believing what she said.
''No it is not.'' She was still looking at me. At least I could see that she wasn't lying.
''But why? You know I am in Slytherin, right?''
''Yes I know, and could you sit down already , of course if you want!'' She asked and then she turned her attention to the book.
I left and after few minutes I went back with book in my hands. I sit across Hermione, and I could have sworn I saw her smile for a second.
I think it's been around an hour when for the first time in my life I could not bear the silence.
''I can't read this anymore!'' I said and closed the book with too much power.
She looked up. ''So you are not interested in... '' she gathered her eyes to better see what is written on the cover of my book. ''Fantastic beast?!''
''Actually it is my favorite, and I read it like thousands time. ''I grinned like crazy.
She just smile not telling anything.
''What are you reading?'' I asked.
She picked up a book not so enthusiastically.
''Potions! Why are you reading that?'' She was smart so why was she reading that?
''Believe it or not I'm not so good in potions'' She sighed.
''I could help you if you want.''
''Really!That would be wonderful!'' She shouted
''Could you be a little bit quiet?'' Madam Pince said.
''I am sorry!'' Hermione's smile was huge. ''When do we start?''
''Right now if you want?'' I said.
She nodded and after that we went to get books so we can start studding.
We stayed in the library of almost the whole day ,we even missed the lunch.
It was fun studying with her .I think that I made mistake about when I said that she is all bad. She was actually pretty interesting.
I hope that we will become friends.
