Hey moon, don't you go down {{Astoria}}

[Draco Malfoy]

The heat of the day glared upon Draco's pale skin as he walked into Diagon Alley. The new term was to start soon, and he needed to grab a couple of extra things. Of course, he had already bought the books of the new year, as well as restocking his potions ingredients. However, he needed to buy a couple of owl treats.

A sigh escaped as he walked into the noisy shop of Eeylop's Owl Emporium. Every time he came here, owls were everywhere, flying around sometimes, hooting protests, and more. They were extremely annoying creatures, but loyal, and extremely useful. Growling his annoyance at one particular Elf Owl as it stared at him, he purchased the treats he needed for his beloved owl, an Eagle Owl called Zan.

Exiting the crowded shop, he blinked in the bright light. He looked around. He felt it far too early to head home. He did want to do something else here, else it would be an extremely unpurposeful trip, to do nothing else. But then, his eyes locked onto the ice cream shop. Draco was not one that indulged in too many sweets. Sure, his mother sent him many sweets during school, but he usually gave them to Crabbe and Goyle. But he did feel like some ice cream would be nice.

He slowly walked to the ice cream shop. He looked around furtively, wondering if anyone he knew was nearby. He stepped into the shop and ordered a simple dark chocolate ice cream on a waffle cone. He knew the surprises that could come with some of the more extreme ones. He had delighted in those as a child. But now, he expected, and disliked, them.

His cone in his hand, his eyes scanned the outside seating. He then found an empty table and briskly strode towards it, watching the cone in his hand. Sitting down, he noticed a drop of the melted ice cream threaten to drop onto his pale hand. Glaring at it, he quickly licked it away. Then, his gaze searched the crowd of people within Diagon Alley. He kept a look out for any of his friends while carefully licking the delicious cool treat.

[Astoria Greengrass]

Astoria walked through Diagon Alley. Shopping bags in hand. Astoria thought she would have a day to herself and go do some shopping. She had many bags filled with dressed, blouses, shoes, candy, you name it! She would have done more shopping but couldn't possibly carry anymore bags in her arms. She needed a place to sit for awhile... and she was kind of getting hungry.

Astoria looked around to see any shops and her eyes feel on a Ice cream shop. It was a hot day and ice cream would be just perfect. Astoria also saw Draco sitting with his ice cream. That's even ten times better. Astoria smiled at him. Not sure if he could see her though. She tried to make it thourgh te large crowds,"Excuse me." she said to people and she went by. She stumbled foward and glared at the man who had tripped her. Then rolled her eyes at him and kept walking.

Astoria made her way to were Draco was sitting. She placed her bags beside her but didn't sit down. "Hello Draco." She smiled sweatly at him. Astoria hadn't seen Draco in awhile and was glad to have seen him. It was a way they could catch up,"Mind if I sit?" she asked politly. She moved her blond hair out of her eyes. Still smiling her perfect smile at him. Waiting on his answer.

[Draco Malfoy]

The day passed on, with Draco simply sitting there, watching the many people pass by. His dark chocolate ice cream was melting, but never again did it come close to dripping upon his pale skin. Looking up, he saw Astoria Greengrass, a pureblood girl that was the sister of his friend. And Astoria was extremely pretty, he would admit. He noticed that she saw him, and smiled back at her.

As Astoria made her way to him, he watched her moving through the large crowd. A laugh escaped his mouth when she tripped, but he quickly covered it up with a cough. He noticed her glare, and one eyebrow raised towards her, a smirk upon his lips. He had never seen her glare at a person, then again, he mostly saw her within the common room, and not many Slytherins glared at each other, unless they had a big problem.

Finally, Astoria, in all her beauty, stood before him. He noticed that she had many bags full of various things, and his eyebrow raised again, this time in surprise. "Have enough things?" He questioned, his tone light and playful. "And hello to you too, Astoria." He noticed her sweet smile, and smiled back. "Of course, I do not mind. Please do sit. Why should I make a lady stand?" His tone was polite, of course, but still playful.

[Astoria Greengrass]

Astoria narrowed her eyes but still smiled at him,"Oh ha ha ha. Just a...little shopping. And I saw you laugh." Astoria looked at the many of bags. A little shopping? She giggled and sat across from him,"Thank you." She moved her bags under the table so no one would steal them. Who knows what a person might do these days. She moved her bangs away from her eyes so she could see better. He has a great smile, Astoria thought to herself. She got lost at looking at him but recovered. She stood up straight and tried not to blush.

Though she tried not to she could feel her face go red. Your blowing it. Act cool, she told herself,"So what were you doing all day?" asked Astoria. Well he could have just went for ice cream or shopping like herself. She was glad to have seen him in the crowd or it probably would have been a boring day for her. Astoria placed her hand on the table. Her nails she just painted were light blue to match her outfit. Astoria always had to match. It was a weird thing with her. Even her toenails matched.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco raised his eyebrow once again. "A little? That is hardly a little. And of course I laughed. You tripped, it was amusing." He pointed out, smirking. "No problem." Draco watched her over his ice cream cone. She was staring at him. It ennerved him slightly, but pleased him. Unless he had ice cream or some other substance on his face, it meant that she thought he was cute....hopefully.

Draco shook his head from those thoughts. She was a friends, simply a friend. He then noticed her straighten up, and blush, but discarded thoughts of why she would be blushing. "Nothing much. I went to grab some owl treats for Zan, and then came here." He held up the bag of treats to show her before replacing them beside his chair.

Draco looked down as she placed her hand. Today, it was light blue, it seemed. He hadn't really noticed her outift before, but he knew, as soon as he saw her nails, that it would be light blue. When he met her back in third year, he had noticed that, when in regular clothing, she always matched. It was something he found out shortly, due to observation, and asking Daphne. "So, it's light blue, today, is it?" He asked, his tone playful once again.

[Astoria Greengrass]

Astoria sighed,"Okay maybe not....so little." And of course I laughed. You tripped, it was amusing. Astoria frowned," It wasn't funny at all. That man tripped me!" she detested. She hoped he was kidding with her. Though she probably would have laughed at herself too. She grumbled to herself but loud enough for him to hear," People trip me and you think it's funny." she pouted. Only joking around with him. She stuck her tongue at him playfully. Then she laughed and smirked.

Astoria looked at the owl treats and nodded,"How is Zan doing?" she asked him. She looked back at him from the owl treats. Astoria loved animals and she thought Zan was adorable. Course she thought alot of thing were adorable. Astoria leaned back in her chair in thought.

So, it's light blue, today, is it? When he said this Astoria looked down at her hands on the table,"Oh ya." She moved her hand off the table and on to her lap,"Always kind of match my nails and cloths. Habitt." She shruged and smiled at him. He probably thought she was crazy. Who would do such a thing? Well Astoria did and sometimes Daphne did. Maybe she got it from her.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco chuckled at her response. ”I must agree to your correction. I do not think it is little at all.” He smirked, his eyes glistening in amusement. “Oh contraire, it was quite amusing.” He told her, as a light chuckle escaped. “Would you like me to go find that man and curse him for you?” He questioned her. He chuckled as she grumbled. “Ah, only because it’s you. I wouldn’t have laughed at anyone else.” He assured her, smiling when she stuck out her tongue.

“He’s doing fine. He’s still the same, well mannered Zan he’s always been.” He said, rolling his eyes. “You shouldn’t love him so much. It just boosts his ego, which is something he doesn’t need.” He chuckled again.

Draco smiled at him when she looked down at her nails. “I’ve known you for five years. I have noticed that you match when you wear normal clothes.” He laughed. “So, naturally, I would know that it is a habit of yours.”

[Astoria Greengrass]

Astoria nodded,,"Ya went overboard with the shopping." She shrugged and sat back in her chair,"But you can't have to many cloths." Astoria knew he was probably going to disagree. “Oh contraire, it was quite amusing.” Astoria frowned when he said this. Would you like me to go find that man and curse him for you?” Astoria chuckled and shook her head,"No. Thank you anyway Draco." she smiled at him. Ah, only because it’s you. I wouldn’t have laughed at anyone else.” Astoria frowned at him again,"Hey!" She crossed her arms over her chest and pouted,"Your mean." she was only joking.

Astoria sat up in her chair. You shouldn’t love him so much. It just boosts his ego, which is something he doesn’t need. She shrugged,"Ya but you shouldn't not love him either." She smiled and pushed her hair over her ears,"And he is adorable." she added.

Astoria put her hand back on the table and looked at them. I’ve known you for five years. I have noticed that you match when you wear normal clothes. Astoria laughed. She didn't think anyone noticed that about her but he did. “So, naturally, I would know that it is a habit of yours.” Astoria laughed again and shook her head,"Ya I can be a little weird sometimes." She smiled at him. Ya she was really weird.

[Draco Malfoy]

“Astoria,” Draco began, holding back a laugh. “You always go overboard when shopping. It was not just this time.” He told her, his eyes twinkling in merriment. “Yes, I think you can have too many clothes, just like you do.” He stated blankly. At her words, he smirked. “Are you sure? I could give him a piece of my mind about him tripping you.” He said, laughing. “And, yes. I am mean. Haven’t you heard about that yet? It’s all over Hogwarts, you know.”

Draco rolled his eyes when she spoke of his owl. “I love him, but not so much. And he is not adorable. He is handsome, perhaps, but nor adorable.” He argued. “He already thinks that he’s the prince at home and at Hogwarts, we don’t want him to think any higher of himself.”

A smile graced his lips again. “I have noticed that you can be a little weird, Tori. I have known you for five years now.” He said, grinning. “And don’t think I don’t know of things you might not think I know.” What a confusing sentence, really. Perhaps it would make her go crazy, as sometimes his words did.

[Astoria Greengrass]

“You always go overboard when shopping. It was not just this time.” Astoria nodded,” Ya I guess you are right.” Astoria shook her head is disagreement at what he said about you can have to many cloths,” You can hand plenty of clothing and never have enough. Though you are right that I do have many.” It was very much true. “Are you sure? I could give him a piece of my mind about him tripping you.” Astoria shook her head again,” No really it’s fine Draco.” She smiled at him. And, yes. I am mean. Haven’t you heard about that yet? It’s all over Hogwarts, you know.” Astoria frowned,” Aww who’s calling you mean. I was only kidding. I’ll give them a piece of my mind.” She winked at him.

Astoria rolled her eyes back at him,” Fine he’s handsome.” She mumbled,” But I think he’s adorable…” Astoria laughed,” Prince of the house?” She smiled and shook her head.

Astoria was listening but looking more at his lips. He had a really great smile. She noticed. She snapped back into focus. “I have noticed that you can be a little weird, Tori. I have known you for five years now.” Astoria rolled her eyes,” Thank a bunch professor.” She giggled. And don’t think I don’t know of things you might not think I know.” Astoria stared blankly at him. Then she blinked,” What?” She asked. Very confused at his words.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco grinned at her confession. She often shared the result of her shopping trips with him, mostly during school though, when they were in the common room. “Maybe you believe you can’t have too many clothes, but I think that you can.” He told her, smirking. “And you definitely have many clothes. You buy at least five outfits every trip. Never, in the time I’ve known you, have you bought less. At least that you’ve told me about.”

Grinning, he listened to her reiterate the fact that she was fine. “Mkay, then.” He stated, watching her. A smirk replaced the grin when she frowned, and stated that she would give someone a piece of her mind. “Oh, you haven’t heard that? Oh dear, you are a bit behind in the rumors, haven’t you? Mean probably isn’t the word used. Rude, sadistic, ass, those are probably the words used. And pretty much everyone that isn’t in Slytherin has been saying that in the past seven years, only five that you would have heard.”

“If you must praise him, handsome is the only words I would tolerate. Spoiling him with names isn’t something that is good for his ego.” He stated. “Yeah, he thinks he is prince of the house. He has free reign of the house, really, but he can only sleep in my room. But he holds himself in some princely way, or whatever. Lord knows who he thinks the king is.”

A grin crept upon his lips at her response. “Ah, you are very welcome.” He replied, his eyes twinkling in amusement. “I know things about you that you yourself probably don’t know. For example, I know that, when nervous, you either chew your bottom lip or twirl your hair.” Draco stated, smirking.

[Astoria Greengrass]

Astoria chuckled softly and nodded. She looked down at her many bags of clothing and sighed,”Maybe you think that but I don’t” She turned away from her bags and smiled. She moved her blond hair that was blowing her face behind her ear,”Think I bought more then 5.” She laughed and nodded,”Ya much more”

Astoria sighed,” Well they can all go to hell.” She smiled at him,”I don’t think your like that Draco. So what if am in Slytherin and your friend. If I wasn’t I’d think you were a pretty great guy.” Tori shrugged and grinned at him,” Besides, I think you can kick their @ssess.” She winked at him and giggled. Maybe he was right but Astoria thought he was really great.

Astoria laughed harder as Draco told him about his owl,”Well fine he is ‘handsome’” She rolled her eyes. It was weird to call an owl ‘handsome.’ Cute yes but Draco didn’t seem to like it when she called his owl that. Though Astoria would always think the owl would be cute to her,”Who do you think the king of the house is…if he thinks he is the prince?” she asked him. As Astoria thought, it was a rather weird think to ask him.

Astoria rolled her eyes again as he said your welcome. Astoria raised her eyebrow,”Do you know?” She smirked but quickly faded as he told her when she was nervous that she bit her lip and twirled her hair. She did that a lot around him,”How do you know that?” She stammered. was she that easy to read?
