Chapter 7- Flo and Draco’s Almost Sincere Talk

After dinner Draco headed down to the Slytherin common room. When he got down, he realized that he didn’t know the password. There were no prefects around, and he didn’t feel like looking for one. He sighed and slumped down, annoyed that no prefects had come down yet. He was nearly asleep when he heard someone come in. He looked up, hoping it was a prefect. But it was only Flo. He sighed and Flo looked at him. “How do you get in there?” She asked. “You need a password” Draco muttered. “But since none of the prefects have come down yet, I don’t know what it is.” “Oh” Flo replied. “So what your girlfriends name?” asked Flo, smirking. Draco looked up quickly “She’s not my girlfriend!” He paused and looked back at Flo. “Her names Pansy. She’s a pureblood.” As though that explained everything. And it did, at least to Flo. “Oh” she sighed and sat down across from him. They sat quietly for a while. “So you have a lot of friends?” asked Flo. Draco shrugged “I don’t know, I mean I do, but sometimes I wonder if they’re just my friends because I have a lot of money.” Flo nodded “I know what that’s like.” she replied. “I’d like to be friends with Becky though. She always seemed like she was a really good friend to everyone.” Draco looked at her “The new girl?” he asked. “Yeah” Flo said, nodding. Draco looked at her for a moment. “She’s not a mudblood isn’t she?” “Don’t use that word, its stupid” Flo said glaring at him “Anyway, you don’t only have to be friends with purebloods, you know.” Draco just shook his head. “They aren’t as good as us.” Flo stood up quickly “I can’t believe you think that! I thought you were different from father, but you’re not! You’re just a stupid git like him!” she ran out of the room. Draco stared after her. He couldn’t believe she had just said that to him. She was normally so soft spoken. He looked up as someone came into the room. It was a prefect. “Finally” Draco snarled.
