Chapter 4.
That night I went to get ready to go to my dormitory to study he was there.
I don't know why I was surprised. I share a room with him. Why am I surprised?
Oh. I'm not. I'm just excited to see him.
He discreetly sent me a small smile as he took off his tie.
I stared. I didn't mean to. But I did.
I couldn't not.
Nobody else was in here, so I didn't really care. But damn. He's doing it on purpose to be sexy.
I bit my lip.
He looked up at me, I guess feeling my stare.
He raised an eyebrow and got up walking over to me. "Can I help you?" He smiled at the blush that appeared on my cheek.
I opened my mouth to say something but closed. It right away. Not wanting to make a fool of myself.
"You seem nervous," he noted.
I shrugged stiffly.
"Harry." He said. He never used my first name. It's always been Potter.
"D-Draco" I stuttered.
"Harry." He stepped closer to me. His voice sounded almost like a pur.
I looked up into his icy eyes.
He smirked. I looked at his mouth. He noticed.
"Kiss me." He whispered.
A glance towards the door later, and I wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing my lips against his firmly. His lips were unsurprisingly soft as he kissed me back.
Hearing someone approach the door we both pulled away and went to our respectful beds. I pulled out my herbology work, just kinda staring at it.
Blaise walked in, my eyes followed him as he shuffled to the bathroom, remaining quiet.
Draco threw a piece of paper at me. "Library later." Was written on it in beautifully elegant letters, I looked up at him and nodded slightly, smiling to myself.
Draco eventually got up, and left. I assumed he just wanted to take a walk.
Then I heard yelling. Not even 5 minutes after he left.
Curiously, I got up and walked out, the hall was full of people. Draco was in the floor. "Death eater scum. And a faggot too!" Some hufflepuff laughed, kicking Dracos bag so his books all fell out.
I frowned, clearing my throat. "Move." I said to a few people that were in my way. I stood right in front of the guy who i saw say that. "Care to repeat that?" I crossed my arms.
"Repeat what?" He said. Oh. So he's being smart with me.
"Don't test me." I warned.
"I said that he, Malfoy, is death eater scum." He said confidently.
"Can I ask you why?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Because he is." He said.
I turned and helped Draco up. "Draco Malfoy was cleared of all charges regarding the dark lord and dark magic. Draco Malfoy joined our side half way through the war. Draco Malfoy is not a death eater. It was forced on him." I said.
Draco kinda stared at me. So did everyone else.
"Why are you defending him?" I heard the same guy say.
"Excuse you. Does it look like I'm done speaking?" I snapped, "what was the second part of the insult you said to him?" I asked him, walking up to him.
"Faggot" he mumbled.
"Sorry?" I raised my eyebrows.
"I said faggot, he is a faggot!" He shouted.
I grabbed the guys collar and shoved him. "Hogwarts is a place of acceptance. Regardless of your blood status, sexual orientation, sexual identity, skin color, level of intelligence. Anything. Hogwarts accepts everyone. You don't even know if Malfoy, here, is gay and either way that gives you absolutely no right to call him names. Do you understand me?" I questioned.
"But I-" he started.
"I asked you a question!" I shoved him again, this time his back hit the wall.
"Yes." He answered. "I understand."
I smirked at the demeanor I have. "Apologize. And if I ever catch you doing anything like this again, Madame Pomfrey won't even be able to help you." I growled.
He nodded, staring at the ground, mumbling sorry.
"If I can look passed Malfoy and I's history. So can you. So grow up" I gave him a final shove.
I grabbed Draco by the arm and walked down the stairs with him.
"You didn't have to." He stared at the ground.
"You're right. I didn't" I stated.
He looked up at me.
I just dragged him to the library, in the back.
I looked at him. "I still hate you publicly since I don't want to come out yet. But if I can show that even we can get along then it'll be a lot easier on you." I whispered.
"Harry." He sighed.
"Don't do that." I said, the way he said my name made my knees buckle.
A smile found its way to Dracos mouth. "Harry." He whispered.
My cheeks flushed. "Draco, stop it." I said.
"Can I just tell you you're extremely sexy when you're angry?" He said.
I blushed, looking down.
His slim fingers were under my chin, and he tilted my head to look up at him. "Do you want to be my secret boyfriend?" He laughed.
I let out a chuckle but my cheeks were bright pink. "Are you.. Really?" I looked into his blue eyes. They were so beautiful.
He was so beautiful.
It took me a minute to register that he was nodding.
So I nodded too. "Okay. Yes. I'd love to." I laughed a bit.
He smiled. "So." He sat up on one of the desks at the library. "You're not only saviour of the wizarding world, but you saved me too!" He held his chest, over reacting his swoon.
"Shut up" I laughed and looked around quickly, stepping between his legs and placing a chaste kiss on his lips.
He smiled and kissed back, but pulled away quickly when we both heard a gasp.
I whirled around.
Hermione.
