Esme Ambrose (POV)

"Distracted again are we? Miss Ambrose." Professor Snape asked.

"No Professor, um... I actually finished." I stuttered. I handed him my notebook as he began examining it.

"Very well." He said before walking off. 

I was in DADA, my last class for today. I was surprised Snape was teaching this year but glad that he finally got the job he wanted. I didn't see Draco come in and he was suppose to be in this class. Speaking of him, I was going to approach him last night but saw Pansy was with him. I stopped all that I wanted to say, I mean I heard quite a lot. Enough to know that they must've had a history.

I always thought of it but it was never confirmed by him. It just made my thoughts go crazy, like why did she say I wouldn't fulfill his needs? Maybe I shouldn't worry so much over it.

"Miss Ambrose you're one of the few that may be dismissed." Professor Snape said.

"Thank you Professor." I said, I gathered all my stuff and began to head to the library.

Ironically I should really grab any books I'd need for potions. I took a seat and began to do whatever homework I needed to get done. My thoughts eventually drifted away from Draco seeing that he probably wasn't going to come.

"Well look who it is." I looked up to see it was Blaise.

"I see we're both being kiss asses this year again huh." I said with a smirk.

"It's just because we actually care." Blaise smiled. "Cool! Looks like we have potions together."

"Slughorn?" I asked.

"Yeah, my father was in his slug club before, heard he's a great professor and all." Blaise said.

"Mine too, well my mother only." I said.

We continued to work on our homework till I had the urge to ask him.

"So... you and Luce?" I nudged him.

"Surprised it took you this long." He chuckled. "I'll only tell you because I trust you, yes we're trying to work things out again but keeping it quiet."

I smiled, "I knew it I mean I knew you both were very close."

"Luce is everything, she always has been it's just she has a lot going on and I could still feel her pushing me away but I know I deserve that." He explained.

"Trust me she has missed you a lot, I know she'll come around eventually." I said.

"Malfoy will come around too Esme." He smirked. 

I could feel my throat starting to tighten up, "Oh no that's nothing Blaise." 

"I know it's just a joke, let me guess still haven't shagged?" He asked.

"Nope!" I exclaimed. 

"Yes you're still Esme Ambrose." He laughed a bit. "No one in particular?"

"As of right now no." I said.

"You have to tell me once it happens!" He said nudging me.

"Of course." I smiled. 

I ended up forgetting that Draco was supposed to come. I walked with Blaise to the common room and put all my stuff down. I was happy to be done with everything so I figured I'd wait for Blaise or anyone else.
