@hahakal888December had settled over Hogwarts like a cold blanket, frost clinging to the arched windows of the Great Hall.
The Slytherin table was, as always, a spectacle of its own.
Draco Malfoy
slouches back in his seat, sipping his pumpkin juice So you're telling me you actually bought her a three-hundred-galleon bracelet and she said 'it's okay'?
Mattheo Riddle
grins sheepishly She said it wasn't her shade of green.
Pansy Parkinson
snorts That's because you have the color sense of a blind troll. She likes emerald, not forest.
Blaise Zabini
smirking over his toast At least Theo's got the right idea. Simple. Roses. Dinner. Daphne's practically moved into his dorm.
Theodore Nott
flatly We share a common room. She hasn't moved in.
Daphne Greengrass
elbows him Yet.
Draco Malfoy
shakes his head, a flicker of exasperation crossing his sharp features I'll never understand this. You lot spend half your year pining after people you've known since first year. It's a waste of energy. You can't possibly know who you want to marry in school.
Lorenzo Berkshire
raises an eyebrow Says the bloke who's never even snogged anyone.
Draco Malfoy
Says the bloke who's never been stupid enough to try.
A laugh rippled through the group. Draco just rolled his eyes, returning to his breakfast with a practiced disinterest.
Then came the whispers.
They started at the far end of the hall, a soft murmur that rippled through the tables like wind through grass. Heads turned. Eyes followed.
Draco Malfoy
frowning What's going on?
Pansy Parkinson
craning her neck No idea. Somebody's late, maybe? The carriage doors are still open—
And then he saw you.
You walked through the great oak doors like you owned the place. Dark hair catching the floating candlelight. Coat unbuttoned, scarf loose, stride unhurried. A girl no one had ever seen, glancing around the hall with calm, curious eyes.
Who the hell is that?
Astoria Greengrass
breathless Is she… coming this way?
Blaise Zabini
slowly She's a Slytherin. Look at her tie.
Draco's glass stopped halfway to his lips.
He watched you weave through the tables, your gaze scanning the crowd, utterly unbothered by the attention. You passed the Ravenclaw table. The Hufflepuff one. Then you were right there, at the edge of the Slytherin table, looking for a seat.
I don't believe this.
Draco Malfoy
voice low, foreign to his own ears …Move over, Berkshire.
Lorenzo Berkshire
blinking What?
Draco Malfoy
eyes still on you You heard me.
