Brooms

The next morning I woke up and did my normal health routine to start the day. It was amazing that I didn't have to wait for my turn in the bathroom or take cold showers because someone... Not pointing fingers, but someone I use to room with liked to take long hot showers....

When I was done I put my blindfold back on and walked out of my room to head for breakfast.

When I got to the Slytherin common room I looked around but didn't see the blonde hair boy. (I guess he already went to breakfast.)

I walked to the door and out, up the stairs to the main level then to the Great Hall. Draco was sitting with a frown on his face and an half empty plate in front of him.

I walked over to him and sat down. "Hey."

Draco glanced then looked at me as if it took him a while to process I was actually there. "Hi."

"Are you alright?" Draco nodded and looked back to his plate as he crossed his arms on the table. "Draco." I sighed, he looked at me. "Come on." I stood up.

"Where are we going?"

"Come on." I pulled his wrist, he sighed and stood up. "I hate seeing you like this." I pulled him away.

"Solace. We have class."

"We have a while before then. Plus it's only Snapes, and we are his favorite students." I pulled him back down the stairs to the basement.

"Where are we going?" Draco walked next to me so I didn't pull him.

"To get something in your room."

"Solace, hold on." Draco stopped, I turned to him. "What are you planning?"

I smiled. "We are going to test the speed of your Nimbus 2001 against my wings." Draco raised a brow. "Personally I think I will win."

"Oh really?" Draco scoffed. "I would like to see that." He started to pull me to the door. "Pureblood." The door formed, he looked at me. "I'll be right back." He let go of my arm and walked in.

I smiled and shook my head. (A challenge and flying. Two thing Draco loves.)

"Miss Solace."

I turned. "Snape."

Snape eyed me. "Shouldn't you be at breakfast, getting ready for my class?"

I walked to him. "Draco and I might be a little late." Snape raised a lecturing brow. "He needs some air, he... Please, he needs some time to be himself."

"Fine." Snape sighed. "But you aren't excused from outside class learning."

I smiled softly. "Of course we aren't.. Now go before he comes back."

Snape rolled his eyes and turned around. "Be careful, Miss Solace. I'm still the Head of Slytherin." He walked away.

Draco then walked out of the common room with his broom in hand. "Ready?"

I smiled. "Are you?" I raised a challenging brow and flared out my wings.

Draco rolled his eyes. "Let's wait until we get outside." He started to walk, I followed. "Thank you, Solace."

I shrugged. "I've always wanted to ditch class but was to afraid with the whole Dumbledore scholarship thing."

"Great." Draco huffed. "You no longer have a leash."

I tsked. "I'm not going to go wild."

"It's only the first day and you are already skipping class." We walked out the side door. "Ready?" He mounted his broom.

I spread my wings. "Ladies first." I motioned for him to go first.

Draco rolled his eyes and flew up into the sky.

I flew up to him, he smiled softly at me. "What?" I flapped my wings to stay in one place.

Draco looked away and cleared his throat. "Nothing.. Let's see how fast you can fly." He took off then spun in a spiral to turn back around to me.

I smiled. "Show off!" Draco did another half loop and continued to fly.

I flew forward as fast as I could, not catching up to Draco at all. (Screw you Nimbus 2001.)

I lowered myself to the ground and watched Draco take all his feelings out as he speed through the air.

(I wish he would just except help from others... but I guess I am the same, or use to be.. I don't know what I am anymore.)

Draco slowed down and looked around until he saw me, I flew up to him. "There is no way I could ever keep up with you!" I yelled to him as I neared.

"That's what I thought!" Draco yelled back. "I thought you didn't like heights."

I frowned and looked down at the ground that was far away. "It's not the height." I looked back at him. "How do you know that?"

"You stayed close to the ground when I showed you how to do tricks on a broom." Draco shrugged.

I nodded. "That's because if I fell there would be nothing to stop me... but now I have wings so it's fine."

Draco raised a brow. "Scared of death?"

(Scared of myself rashly choosing death.)"Not exactly." I smiled softly. "Wanna see who can nose dive faster?"

Draco smiled slightly. "Obviously a bird could."

I gasped. "Did you just call me a bird?" I crossed my arms, Draco shrugged. "Whatever." I flapped my wings and shot up into the sky.

"Solace!" Draco flew after me. "Not to high!"

(Right. The barrier.)I stopped flying up, closed my wings and let gravity do the work of turning me to face the ground.

I fell passed Draco and relaxed as the wind blew my hair behind me. (This is the feeling I've wanted to feel but was always to afraid.)

As I neared the ground I opened my wings, like a parachute they caught the wind and I started to glide. (This is amazing.)

I turned around to look up at the sky, I saw Draco flying straight towards me. I turned back around to face the ground and flew faster before I arched up to do a half loop to him.

"You're mental!" Draco came to my side.

I smiled and circled him. "I'm not the one with a bird circling their head."

Draco rolled his eyes. "Come on. We should head to class." He followed me with his eyes.

"Awe." I whined. "But I was just starting to have fun." I stopped circling and smiled at him. "Are you feeling better?"

Draco nodded. "Yes." I smiled. "Come on." Draco turned towards the school.

I flew next to him. "I guess I could never be a seeker."

Draco scoffed. "Other then your incredibly slow pace I think there is a brooms only rule."

I gasped. "That is discrimination." Draco rolled his eyes. "I will have to bring this up with the rule maker."

"Pretty sure they died centuries ago." He landed and I did as well. "I need to put my broom back. I'll meet you in class."

"Alright. Don't skip."

Draco sighed. "I won't." He walked to the stairs.

I smiled softly and I walked to class.
