Silently Screaming For Help

|Chapter 11 : Small|

"It must be annoying to be so small"

"Yes. But an advantage is that when it rains I'll be the last to get wet"

"...that's not how it works"

"How would you know? You're tall. You don't know what it's like being small"

"Yes but I know that that's not how it works" Draco told me laughing as I turned to him

"I'm closer to the ground than you, therefore I have a shorter distance to fall"

"You've changed the subject..."

"Shut up"

"You spoke about something else because you knew you were wrong"

"No! I changed the subject because you were bullying me" I explained to him laughing as he looked at me with a smirk as I shook my head with a smile

"Me? Bully you? Never"

"Sure" I said with a scoff as we rounded a corner and my books went flying as I stumbled back after walking into someone

"Watch where you're going!"

"I can't see around corners dumbass how was I meant to know you were there?" I asked annoyed as I looked up and stared at Ron as he rolled his eyes and walked past me as I mumbled darkly under my breath before crouching down as I started stacking the books back up

"Do you want help with those?"

"No it's fine, I'll manage. Thank you though" I said quietly as I heaved the stack up before standing up unsteadily as I got a better grip of them and watched as half of the pile disappeared

"There you go"

"I said I'd manage"

"Yes I know, I just thought I'd help though"

"That's suspicious..."

"Just accept the help. It's a one off"

"Thought so. Thank you though"

"So why do you even have these many books?" He asked as we walked into the library and I led the way towards the back where a lone two seater couch sat as I sat down and he took the space beside me while we set the books down on the table

"Well you're better safe than sorry"

"What do you mean?"

"You don't understand it?" I asked with a tone mixed with surprise and confusion as I turned my head towards him and watched as he shook his head and I felt a smile form on my face

"Oh, well then. It basically means you're better being over prepared than underprepared"

"Oh right, so why didn't you just say that?"

"Because I wanted to be difficult"

"Well I knew that"

"If you knew that then why did you ask?"

"Why do you always ask that?"
