I gathered my transfiguration books, then headed out the portrait hole. I crashed right into Draco! " Sorry!" He said. " What were you doing right there?" I asked. " Nothing," he told me. I shurged and walked to class.

I waited in front of the portrait hole. I was finally going to ask her! Oof! Ginny came crashing into me. " Sorry!" I told her. " What were you doing right there?" She asked. Should I ask her? " Nothing," I said, losing my courage. No wonder I'm not a Gryffindor, I thought. I stared at her, as she walked to class.
