Sunday - October 31, 1993

Draco was still mad at me.

I had no idea why. All he had to do was ask if I wanted to go with him, but he would never admit something like that.

Sitting in between them at lunch was very awkward now.

Draco would scoff every time Flint would pay attention to me. Flint would run his tongue along his cheek because he knew Draco was my friend.

At least Flint actually was nice to me without me having to prove it was okay to be.

"What's on your mind?" Flint asked as we were walking on our way to Hogsmeade.

"Nothing." I lied.

"Draco?" He asked.

I sighed. "Yeah, he's still not talking to me."

"Maybe you should apologize."

"Me? Apologize? What for? I'm allowed to hang out with other people. I don't have to be with my friends every second of the day."

He smiled. "Sometimes, I think both of you just enjoy making practice miserable." He teased.

"We do not." I defended as he gave me a look.

"Okay maybe we do, but I'm not giving in first."

"I'd expect nothing less from you." He said as he laughed.

"I should've grabbed my scarf, it's freezing." I said as I grabbed my shoulders.

"It's always freezing in Hogsmeade." He said as he grabbed an extra scarf out of his jacket and wrapped it around me.

"What? I wasn't going to give you mine just because you forgot to bring one. It's cold." He stated.

"So, you randomly decided to bring an extra scarf?" I teased.

It smelled really good, just like he did the night he carried me back from the pitch.

Vanilla and cinnamon, but this time there was a hint of cologne.

"Come on, let's go in here." He said changing the subject as he opened the door to The Three Broomsticks.

Instant warmth fluttered around me as the air from inside hit us.

"Great idea." I said as I walked inside quickly.

He pulled my chair out for me as I sat down and he pushed me in.

Once we got settled in and we ordered our drinks, I got to try butter beer for the first time ever. It was as good as Fred and George said it was.

"I can pay for my own" I said.

"Don't. I'm the one that asked you on the date." He said as he paid.

"Can we go to Honeydukes?" I asked when we were leaving.

"After you." He said as he opened the door.

"Do you want me to hold your hand? You know. To make sure it doesn't get cold or anything." He said as he grinned his signature grin.
