Your entire class was standing outside, listening to the Care of Magical Creatures teacher go on and on about some new mythical creature the class was learning about. You were practically zoning out, your eyes feeding into the woods nearby when you heard Draco and his buddies shuffle up right next to you, snickering about something stupid, as always.

Every time you saw him, your blood would start to boil. You absolutely hated Draco and his ignorant group of friends who sucked up to him in every way possible. He always acted big and tough, but he was actually neither of those, simply bluffing because of his family. He wasn't all that great, if you really thought about it!

"I'm surprised you're here," He jabbed you in the side and whispered to you teasingly, a grin on his lips. Draco's grey eyes bore into yours, searching for any sign of hurt or embarrassment that he could have pulled out of you. "I thought you would have been too scared" He mocked as he motioned toward the animal the teacher was holding onto.

Merlin. You let out a groan and shoved Draco with your shoulder to get him to back away from you. He would always bother you, like he could sense who he royally ticked off to make sure to target them day after day. You always wondered why he chose you to pick on instead of the other kids in your classes.

The moment you were going to give a snarky response back, the teacher’s gaze glazed over to you, furrowing his eyebrows with a disapproving look, shaking his head slightly as he looked away. He took a single step away from the animal, leading the class away. You and Draco, and his groupies, lingered at the back of the crowd.
