"So class, today I will be setting you up in partners for this project, the person on your right will be your partner." Professor burnage said kindly.

Things could not be any worse, now I have malfoy as my partner for this stupid project. I know that I'm going to get a good grade on it as my parents are muggles however, it's going to be hard when malfoy is going to be bugging me the whole time.

"Please start working on the project now, no one should be slacking off" she said, shooting a glare at malfoy. He rolled his eyes and scoffed at her comment.

As I'm beginning the project, trying not to interact with the blonde next to me, he suddenly speaks up.

"So Austin, looks like we're partners, guess we'll be spending a lot of time together" he said cheekily, winking at me as he does so.

"I'd rather work by myself than work with you malfoy" I said in an annoyed tone.

"No worries, I don't usually do any work in group projects anyways" he said as he leaned back on his chair, his hands behind his head.

I ignored him and continued with the project, writing down all the detailed notes I can find but I don't really need them, I know enough about muggles.

"Say, you and Zabini have been getting close lately haven't you, I didn't take him as someone to associate himself with mudbloods." He spoke loudly, making sure I heard the last comment.

"I swear to god malfoy call me that one more time and watch." I spat at him, turning my body to face him.

"What are you gonna do? You're nothing but a filthy. Little. Mudblood." He whispered with a wide grin on his face.

I brought up my hand to slap him in the face but he caught my wrist and pulled me close to him aggressively, our faces almost touching. He was holding my wrist so tight that I'm positive it would leave a bruise.

"That wasn't a good idea Austin, this time I'll let you off, but next time I won't be so generous." He spat his grey eyes fixed onto mine. He held me for a minute, looking deeply into my eyes-studying them as if I was a mysterious object that he couldn't figure out.

"Malfoy, Austin, all I've heard this lesson is you two bickering and I've had enough! Detention!" Professor burnage shouted from across the classroom.

I instantly pulled away from him as everybody's eyes are on us. I fixed my robes and continued with my work. I don't look at Draco the rest of the lesson, to afraid that I'll end up Avada kedavra-ing the shit out of him. I glanced at my wrist and noticed that it was indeed slightly bruising.

After class ends I quickly made my way out of the classroom, and back to my dorm. There was enough drama for today. I fell asleep peacefully, not thinking of anything in particular.

*****

The next day I made my way into the great hall but was stopped when my books collapsed to the floor after I bumped into someone chest.

"Oh my gosh I'm so so sorry!" I said immediately looking up and meeting the gaze of a very handsome light brown haired male.

"Hey it's fine don't worry about it, I wasn't looking where I was going." He chuckled as we both bent down to pick up our books. Both of our hands land on the same book as we both laugh. His hand landed on top of mine and it felt warm and welcoming. We stood back up and he hands me my book, our fingers slightly touching again causing butterflies to appear in my stomach.
