Thanks a bunch for all the Reviews! I didn't think I'd get alot on this, but I did! Well, more than I thought I would! You guys are AWESOME! This is my first Harry Potter story, and for some reason I've been having this really strange liking to Draco and I pretty much hated him a lot before...ANYROAD! The point is...YOUR ALL GEAR!
BE HAPPY!
So the months went on and Draco and I were rarely without each other. He was mean to me sometimes, but he almost immediately apologized for it. He was really funny sometimes and he really liked to hold my hand when we walked. I didn't mind of course, but every now and then someone would make a rude comment about me and he'd either glare at them or try and send a curse or something at them. I tried not to let that happen. I didn't care what people thought of me anyway.
I've even managed to get Ginny to hang out with us sometimes. She's not so scared of him as she used to be, and he wasn't too terrible to her.
Now we were walking around Hogsmeade, and it was snowing out. It was getting pretty hard to see, it was December after all, So Draco pulled me into a pub and shut the door.
"Hey!" A harsh female voice said, "You kids aren't allowed in here!" Turns out Draco had pulled us into a pub for adults only. Great. Draco groaned and pulled me back out to the snow. He was clearly trying to keep me from getting pelted with snow, but I liked snow and didn't mind all that much. I just wished it wasn't so cold.
"Draco!" I called to make him stop. He did, with a strange look on his face. He looked frustrated, "I don't mind the snow! I'm cold!" Draco looked as though he was trying to come up with something before he stood next to me rather than slightly in front pulling me along. He put his arm around my shoulders and pulled his cloak slightly around me. I was warmer, but I'm sure it wasn't because of his cloak. We finally made it into a warmer place that didn't have snow covering the doors and Draco dropped his cloak from around me with a sigh.
"Sorry," he said as we walked toward a table in the corner, "I didn't mean to pull on you." I giggled and shook my head.
"It's alright," I said as he ordered us two Butter Beers. I leaned back in my seat and sighed, "You think it'll stop before we have to go back to Hogwarts?" Draco met my gaze and I saw something that said he didn't want it to stop. I didn't understand that, but I ignored it for now.
He looked out a nearby window and bit his lip, "I dunno," he said, "But we'll make it back, don't worry Matthews," He'd taken to calling me by my last name for some weird reason.
"I don't want to walk out into the snow if it's that tough though," I said shaking my head.
He smirked, "Well then I suppose we'll have to wait it out then." he said. I giggled and shook my head at him. We started talking and talking and giggling and laughing with each other, and we didn't even realize it had stopped snowing nearly an hour after we got into the place and then we'd been there longer than we were supposed to.
We'd missed Dinner, but I wasn't hungry anyway, so Draco and I went up to the castle and went to the library.
We sat in the corner where no one could see us or hear us because Draco had put a spell around us. I was glad too because we were laughing so hard and loud I was almost sure that Madam Prince could hear us anyway. I had my head on Draco's shoulder when we'd stopped finally and he slid his arm around my shoulders. His fingers were moving through my hair and I sighed, perfectly happy to stay there for a while.
"So," he said sighing after me, "Where is it you said you were from?"
"I'm from Liverpool," I said rolling my eyes, "Well that's where I live. My parents and I lived in London for a while. I was only 8 when we moved to Liverpool."
"Ah," he said nodding, "Well where's Liverpool?" I giggled and buried my nose into his white school shirt.
"It's near Manchester," I said, "But you don't know where that is either."
"I do so!" Draco protested poking my stomach. I laughed and moved away from him. He followed me and he took my hand before he fell a bit and found himself positioned over me. I blushed and he grinned before he leaned down farther. I gasped just before he lips met mine. I couldn't say I didn't like the feeling, but I'd never been kissed before and I had no idea what to do.
He pulled back and bit his lip. We looked at each other before I got too embarrassed to stay much longer. I sat up, he was forced to sit up and move so I could get up. I grabbed my book bag and left the library quickly. I clearly didn't hear Draco calling for me to come back because he was still in the area he'd put the silencing spell. I also didn't realize I'd left Alice in Wonderland on the floor when it fell out of my bag.
I also wasn't really thinking about that. I was thinking about Draco and his lips. It was great and everything, and I wasn't embarrassed by what he'd done, I was embarrassed because I was clueless as to what to do.
My next step was to avoid Draco for a while and hope the awkwardness went away after a while...
