When the two of us reach the Great Hall, multiple heads turned to me. At first, I though I had something stuck in my teeth. Or maybe my buttons weren't done properly. But then, I heard snickering coming from the Slytherins table.
"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮?" I asked, sitting down with my friends. Everyone stares at me with blank faces.
"𝘐𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨?" But just as I say that, Harry nudges my arm, and I turned my head.
"𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰 𝘠/𝘓/𝘕. 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘪𝘵?"
Malfoy.
"𝘔𝘢𝘺 𝘐 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶?" I ask, standing up, out of my seat. Draco grabs my hand to start walking, but I slapped it away. "𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨? 𝘋𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨?" He looks around, not seeming to care. He grabs my hand again, and walks with me to an empty table.
"𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭. 𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶? 𝘔𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘳. 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮" He says, looking under the table. What is his problem? He's never this nice.
"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵, 𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘧𝘰𝘺. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘮𝘦? 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘺?" I ask, adjusting my posture.
"𝘈𝘮 𝘐 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵? 𝘚𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺, 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴."
"𝘎𝘐𝘙𝘓𝘍𝘙𝘐𝘌𝘕𝘋?" I jumped off the bench. No way, in a million years would I date a Malfoy.
"𝘐𝘮 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘠/𝘓/𝘕. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘵... 𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩."
"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵? 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨." I asked, but his pale skin turns red when he hears those words fall out of my mouth.
"𝘜𝘩𝘮, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘩𝘪𝘮." He motioned to whoever was behind me, but I didn't turn.
"𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦! 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦, 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘰. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵? 𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮? 𝘖𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘐-" Someone had tapped me on my back
It was Professor Snape.
"𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴.. 𝘠/𝘓/𝘕.. 𝘐 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵... 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘥𝘮𝘪𝘵, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸. 𝘕𝘰𝘸, 𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴.."

"𝘐 𝘴𝘦𝘦. 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘐 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺... 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘺𝘢𝘳𝘥. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘋𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵. 10 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘎𝘳𝘺𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘳, 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘴 𝘚𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯."
Draco stands up, abruptly. "𝘐𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘳, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘚𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯, 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭?" He looks angry.
"𝘠𝘦𝘴... 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘧𝘰𝘺. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵.. 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦. 𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘨𝘰 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘠/𝘓/𝘕, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶."
