Chapter 38 Touch
Draco looked at the hand that was travelling across the desk.
Get away, get away, get away!
He sighed, relieved when the hand returned to it's owner, with the quill it had been getting, without touching him.
He glared at his Transfiguration Professor.
Because of her he almost got touched by..by...that.
Draco tried not to shudder and then decided to practice the spell they were learning again.
And tried again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And ag-
"Malfoy, if you keep doing it like that you'll cast our desk on fire."
Draco stared at the hand that had grabbed his to stop him from performing the spell.
Nervous under his gaze, the hand let go his.
He kept staring at his now colder wrist.
Suddenly he looked at the worried face, eyes, of who sat next to him and just as fast shifted his gaze to the corner of the table where he wouldn't see anyone.
Wh-what was that? This?
Why. Why were his cheeks burning?
What was that that he was feeling?
What should he do now?
Who could he ask about it?
...That's right, his father!
Draco took a sheet of paper out of his bag and dig his quill into the ink bottle.
Dear Father,
I'm writing to inquire about what happened to me today at Transfiguration.
Professor McGonagall made me sit next to that mudblood Granger and she... – oh, the shame I feel while writing this! – she touched me, father! Grabbed my hand!
Is it normal to feel like I do? I'm writing this still in that class, she still sits next to me. I feel...my heart is pounding so fast I wonder how no one has heard it yet, my cheeks are flaming – it can't be a blush, can it? – and her touch was soft. So soft. It felt.. it didn't feel like when Pansy, Astoria or Daphne do it, it...it felt different. Kind of nice. Better. Right.
Father, I don't know what to do, how to feel! Is it because she's a mudblood that it feels so different from the other girls? Is it normal for a mudblood to make me feel like that?
I ask you to reply as soon as possible for I fear this will be troubling me for long.
Your worried son,
Draco
Draco finished his signature with a flourish movement and put the letter inside his Transfiguration manual.
After that class he would send it to his father and then he would explain everything and tell Draco how normal it was.
Then everything would go back to normal, right?
Right?

Ahha, I had so much fun writing this chapter – not as much as the next one, tough. It was very hard not to burst out laughing in classes while writing it xD
Yes, I very much like the next chapter and sure as hell it will be a funny one.
Last, but not the least, 'I'm writing to inquire about' is obviously the beginning of Draco's letter to Lucius in A Very Potter Sequel, so I had to put it here.
(I'm writing to inquire about my permition form to Hogsmead. I sent it on the very first day to school and I'm still waiting for it's return with your signature on it. But- but don't you worry, Daddy, less time spent at Hogsmead means more time writing letters to you.)
