From a Perspective

Chapter Three

Friday; Draco Malfoy\'s office; afternoon

Markus Flint was standing by the window and looking through the telescope. Unlike others he wasn\'t looking into the stars but occupied himself with the yard in front of Malfoy Building.

\"Are there any French girls working for you?\" asked he.

\"Mhm?\"

\"French girls.\"

\"How am I to know?\"

\"Pity. This one must be French.\"

Malfoy Junior did not respond.

\"Come and judge for yourself.\"

\"Markus, some people try to work.\"

\"She must be French. Only French girls have such legs and…\"

\"Let me see.\" Came Draco\'s voice from behind. Markus moved to allow Draco have a look.

\"She is in the middle of the yard, right now.\" Tried to help Markus.

\"I know.\"

\"Do you know her?\"

\"No.\"

\"Pity. She\'s gorgeous.\"

\'The way she walks is breathtaking. The slow, smooth moves.\' thought Draco, \'She reminds me of Her...\'

\"Common, admit it. She\'s stunning. These hair…!\" called Markus

\'I bet it smells like a meadow in mid-July.\' replied Malfoy silently.

\"I wish she turned around.\" Continued Markus.

\"You don\'t want it, Markus. Be humane!\" called Malfoy, \'Since I have Pansy here, I have problems with finding \"partners\". If her eyes are only half that gorgeous as her derriere, I should… No, I can\'t even think about it.\'

Markus was looking at him quizzically: \"What do you mean?\"

\"What?… Ahh, mean… It\'s just that…\"

\"I know Pansy. Can\'t you get rid of her?\"

\"No.\"

\"Fine, but… she is …\"

\"Markus, I know but she is a good employee…\"

\"…whom no one likes. Or maybe she is nice with her work colleagues?\"

\"Markus, are you serious?\" asked Malfoy ironically.

\"I see. Draco, I\'ve been watching you and I can say one thing. Since you have to work with her, you are not yourself! I\'ve known you for years and I\'ve never seen you like that. You rarely talk, you don\'t meet new people and had it not been for the fact that you hardly ever smile, I would say that you are in the state of unfulfilled love. This however doesn\'t seem to be the case. Am I right?\"

\"Yes, you are. Her company depresses me somehow. I don\'t know why but it does.\"

\"Draco, I think I know what you should do.\"

\"What? Get rid of her?\"

\"You said you could not.\"

\"Yes. So, what\'s the remedy?\"

\"When is the first party you will be at?\"

\"Don\'t know.\"

\"Doesn\'t matter. On that party, you\'ll chat up the first woman you\'ll notice.\"

\"That\'s the remedy?\"

\"Yes. Promise.\"

Draco was looking sceptically at Markus.

\"Promise?\"

\"Yes.\"

\"Good. Let\'s go, your father is waiting for us.\"

****************************

Meanwhile; floor 23; Pansy\'s office

Pansy was sitting in her chair, dreaming: \'I wonder what Draco is doing, right now.\' she closed her eyes. \'He is over me… in his office… just one floor above me. He is sitting behind his desk. His hands over… over… the computer. He is leaning back in his chair… He\'s placing his hands over… his strong neck. He gets up and stares into the window. Just… one floor… above me…\'

There was a knock on the door.

\"Come in.\" called Pansy.

\"May I go?\" asked Hermione Bennet

\"Yes, you may.\"

\"Good bye.\"

\"Till tomorrow.\" Was Hermione\'s reply.

*************************

Hermione was walking across the yard. She should in a hurry to catch the bus but she could hardly make herself walk more quickly. She had this funny feeling that she was being watched. She noticed the bus and began walking faster paying no more attention to her present feelings. She had to be home for supper.
