Study Hall -- Tuesday, October 25th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Sarah sits at the front desk occasionally glaring at the notebook and stack of papers at the far edge of the desktop. Instead of the constant scribbling she's been doing for days, she's got a deck of cards and is shuffling them over and over again out of boredom. She's horribly tempted to go out and play Texas Hold 'em with Locker 327, but she doesn't trust the fucking thing enough. Or, you know, at all.

Draco comes into study hall in a good mood. He looked at Principal Connor playing with the cards. If he knew how to play any muggle card games he'd ask to play. But alas, he didn't.
Instead he sits at a desk and begins reading one of his old school books.

((Das Schnitzel, Locker 327 and Principal Connor would be the best poker partners ever.))

Lily enters and whispers a "hullo" to Draco as she sits next to him.

"Hey." he says. He puts down his book and goes to kiss her on the cheek.

"How've you been?" he asked.

Lily smiles weakly as he kisses her. "Damn headache - won't go away. Did I miss anything important in Lifestyles yesterday?"

"I'm sorry." he says "You missed absolutely nothing in that class. I just sat there and watched frogs play cricket."

"What has that got to do with anything? I swear, that class confuses me more every week - I guess I just really don't see the point of it all." Lil reaches for Draco's hand. "Anyway, how have you been?"

Draco takes Lily's hand into his. "I've been alright. Parent's Weekend is coming up faster than I thought it would. I really should talk to Jonathan about my mother. She can be a little...forward."

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

"Oh! That's this weekend isn't it?" She bites her lower lip. "Listen... about your mother... she's not going to like me, is she?"

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

Draco looks away for a minute. "My mother...she comes from a very old family who won't change their ideas. It doesn't matter if she likes you or not. I like you and I don't care what she thinks."

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily smiles and squeezes his hand. "I appreciate that. I was just thinking, though, that it might be easier for all of us if I sort of tried to stay out of the spotlight this weekend. You know, not exactly hiding, but... she's coming to see you, and you could just show her what she wants to see and be done with it? I'm sorry - this isn't coming out very well at all. If you want me to meet her, I definitely will, but I don't need to, if that makes sense..."

"No, no I mean, it's probably for the best that way. I don't want her to upset you. You're really ok with that?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily looks down at the ground. "Well, I mean, I'll probably have to meet her eventually, but it's still early for... us, right? Why make things more complicated than they have to be right now?" she asks, looking back up at him.

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

"Right. We have plenty of time." he kisses her on the cheek.
"Thanks for being so understanding."

"Well, I have been reading through my copy of 'How to be the World's Best Girlfriend'" she jokes, grinning.

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

"I knew you were cheating." he smiles "Too good to be true."

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily pouts and says, "Oh, well if you'd like me to be less fantastic, I could work on that..."

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

"Never, I like you perfect." he says "Are you working tomorrow? Cause I was thinking we could go out to dinner or something."

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily pulls out her organizer and checks her schedule. "I am not working tomorrow. Dinner would be lovely - what time?"

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

"How about around six? We could go to Luke's, it looked pretty good when I was in there for Rory's party."

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

"Six is perfect," she says, writing it down. " - meet there or somewhere in the dorms?"

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

"How about we meet there."

"Ugh, I've got to go. Flight club and JA tonight." he sighs heavily "Too many people want me."

He goes to kiss her before leaving.

After he kisses her, she smiles and says, "Great - I'll see you tomorrow!"
