Just kiss her

Draco sat on the comfortable couch in the Slytherin Common Room; he had his head in his hands and he looked as though he was in a sorry state. Millicent Bulstrode noticed his body shake violently, and as she leant against the wall she could tell that he was crying.

Her heart went out to him. She knew that his recent break up with her long term rival for his affections, Pansy had been difficult but she couldn't believe that it had hit him this hard. She ached to go over to him and place a comforting arm around him, but she couldn't. How could she when he had always stared right through her when she was in a room.

"I know you're there," he called quietly, lifting his head from his hands, and turning his head towards her. "You may as well join me Millicent."

Her heart skipped a beat as he said her name. He knew who she was, he knew her name, and it made her smile brightly.

She took a seat next to him on the couch, and placed her hand delicately on his lap in a attempt to comfort him, hoping that she was not over stepping the mark, and to her surprise, he placed his hand over hers. For future reference the moment that Draco made contact with her bare skin was the best moment of her life, and every moment after this would be held up against it in comparison.

They sat there for what felt like forever and a day; neither one of them spoke a word, neither one of them moved their hands. Both of them were overcome with a powerful urge and desire to kiss the other and yet neither one of them felt confident enough to make a move.

"Just kiss her already," Montague shouted as he clambered through the portrait hole. And for the first and only time in his life Draco did as he was told and kissed Millicent Bulstrode.
