Caroline stiffened as she saw Scropius Malfoy, of all people, approaching her! She felt a lump rising in her throat as he drew closer. Was he really coming over to her? No, couldn't be. Though she was popular, and used to be more so, Caroline and Scorpius had never really been in the same league.
She watched as he sat down next to her and eyed her. What was he looking at? Noticing it was the book, she shrugged at his questioning look.
"Hello," she responded, trying to sound cool and collected as she spoke to one of the most popular boys in her house, perhaps the whole school. "Did you have a nice summer?" she added, a little too quickly to pull off cool and collected.
Closing the book, Caroline set it down as not to be rude.
