Malfoy and I were in the library,  and I was tutoring him. He was improving a lot.

When we were done, he suggested we go on a walk to the quidditch pitch to talk.

When we got there, he pulled our brooms out of the shed.

"Have you ever considered joining the quidditch team?" he asked.

"I've considered being a beater, but Crabbe and Goyle are, and I think I would want Pansy to be one with me. Her or Zabbini." I replied, blushing a bit. I've never told anyone my dream of playing professional quidditch.

"You'd most likely get Blaise to play. He actually was looking for someone to challenge Crabbe and Goyle with."

"Oh, well, could you ask him for me? He scares me. I-I saw him mad once, and I haven't spoken to him since."

"You're scared of Blaise?"

"Yes."

"That's hilarious."

"I feel pathetic admitting it."

"You're right, he's not one to cross when he is ticked, but you don't need to be afraid of him. And yes, I will ask him for you." Malfoy sounded bitter when he said that, and a few minutes later, I figured out why. He thought that part of the reason I was afraid of Zabbini was because I have a crush on him. That couldn't be farther from the truth.

"I will also mention it to Flint." he said.

"Thank you so very much. I'm just not very good with people."

At that he smiled.

"What? It's true!" I exclaimed, blushing again.

"It's funny to see you so nervous. It's cute, in fact." he replied, stepping forward and brushing the hair out of my face.

"Draco! Sparkle! Professor Snape wants to talk to you!" we heard Pansy yell.

When we got to my father's office,  he was waiting.

"Yes father?" I asked.

"Sparkle, I want you to tell me immediately if Michael Corner gives you to many problems. Draco, keep an eye on him." my father said.

"Ok." we chorused.

When we got back to the common room, it was around ten, so I went right to my room with Pansy close behind.

"What did Draco want at the quidditch pitch?" Pansy asked teasingly.

"We were avoiding Michael Corner,  and he just wanted to know if I had ever considered joining the quidditch team. He's going to find out if Zabbini will, pair up with me to be beaters, cuz there is no way we can be worse than Crabbe and Goyle."

"Well, what was Draco's reaction to the quidditch thing?"

"I admitted I am scared of Zabbini, and he laughed at me. "

"That's strange. Zabbini is one of the nicest kids I know."

"Well, when you're eleven, and you see another eleven year old beat up a couple of seventeen year olds because they were bullying you, then you'll have the same amount of fear as me." I told her.

"Yeah, that sounds like it would scar you for life."

"It did. I'm terrified of him."

The next day, Pansy and I went to Hogsmeade to look for dresses.

When we got to the clothing store, Pansy instantly saw a purple dress she liked, and it fit too.

"Do you think Blaise will like it? I'm going to try to get him to ask me to dance." she questioned me.

"I think he'll love it. I'm pretty sure he has a crush on you." I replied.

"Well now we just need to get you a dress."

"But why do I have to attend?"

"Because it will be fun."

For the next three hours, we were looking through dresses for me. None of the styles we found fit me correctly. Finally we just asked the store manager, who had a solution.

"What you need is a knee length halter top that is cut to your waist in the back, or something along those lines." she said, heading to the back.

When she came back, she had a bright green dress, and it was perfect. http://www.google.com/search?biw=602&bih=484&site=imghp&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=wvKmUv3DL8uGkQeV54DwBg&q=bright+green+knee+length+halter+dress&oq=bright+green+knee+length+halter+dress&gs_l=img.3...47157.48645.0.49609.7.7.0.0.0.0.212.942.0j6j1.7.0.cprnk%2Caddre%3Dcollection...0...1.1.32.img..7.0.0.RCKRsXksMYw#biv=i%7C31%3Bd%7CSdzX7xe97HFk_M%3A

"Now for the shoes!" exclaimed Pansy.

"Blah." I replied.

When we got to the shop, Pansy immediately went for heels.

"I hope you're not going to force me to wear heels. I'd rather not die young." I told her.

"You can't be that bad." she replied.

"Yes I can, but if we find black boots, then I'll give it a shot."

"Good, cuz you're going to need the hight if Draco asks you to dance."

"Wait just a bloody moment! Who said I'd agree?"

"Oh come on, you know you're slowly falling for him."

"Whatever."

We found the boots I was looking for, so shopping was finally done.
