Draco had always had a soft spot for Maya Bell (although he despised her common muggle name and her older sister Katie) despite this his cold harsh demeanour and teasing attitude towards her said otherwise.At some points when she was sat across the room in transfiguration he couldn't tear his eyes away from the beam of sun shining across her auburn waves and pale freckled skin which his icy porcelain cheeks quickly gained a rare amount of colour and he swiftly turned his head to avoid being caught.
Draco thought his attraction for her came naturally,I mean everyone thought Maya was gorgeous it was almost in human nature.
It was almost the end of the eventful year 4 with the death of Cedric Diggory the entire castle (even the portraits and stairs by the way they kept erratically changing) seemed on edge and rumours swelled of He Who Must Not Be Named returning from the grave.
It was a quiet Tuesday morning ,the dew on the grass glistening in the early morning sun and the subtle rustling of waking up could be heard.
Maya yawned and groaned as she stretched and stood up.Glancing around at her surroundings,seeing Lavender still asleep tucked under a crisp white sheet ,her thick frizzy hair shielding her face.Maya sighed and began to approach Lavender's bed."come on Lav,breakfast is in 10 minutes and then we have the old sprout afterwards."
Lavender groaned and simply said "Pavrati is already down there,go meet them I'll be down soon."
Maya Bell sighed and went to scan her room for her navy tie and grey uniform.She ran her fingers through her slightly tangled waves,grimacing whenever she snagged a knot.Maya put her hand in a small cream canvas bag and pulled out a pair of gold small studs encrusted with two rather small diamonds and hooked them into her ear piercing hole.She put her hand into the bag again,and this time she held a small pale pink tube of strawberry lipgloss.Maya applied it carefully to not go outside the line of her prominent cupids bow and then placed the lipgloss back down.
By this time 8 minutes had already past and she had to walk at a very fast pace instead of her usual comfortable one.As maya walked into the dining hall her eyes locked with another.A pair of striking blue eyes stared right at her,analysing her every moment.Maya was used to this treatment from Draco and simply tried to ignore it and walked over to the ravenclaw table sitting herself comfortably between Lavender and Padma.
Padma nudged her in the chest with her elbow a smirk playing on her face,"oh wow maya ,Draco cannot get enough of you,he is still staring."
Maya rolled her eyes."Oh come on,we hate each other ,you should know this by now."
She simply responded with "I think someone needs to tell Draco that."
Maya simply ignored the comment and began to tuck into her rather plain breakfast of buttered toast and one green crisp apple as the conversation drifted to how close the holidays were and plans.
