Behind The Mask Chapter 12 Astronomy Tower
I would have sat in my room all day if I didn't have class. I was hurt, but I did it to myself. I had to...I wish I weren't such a stubborn asshole, but I am. I was pretty much someone you wouldn't want to be around all day, in fact I was someone I didn't want to be around! Pretty stupid isn't it? I dreaded going to my room, I ate slowly, admiring the cool rainstorm that was going on; it actually was raining that night. How perfectly fitting for the emotions wrapping me in a cocoon. Potter wasn't there when I finally went to the room. Since it wasn't past curfew there was no need to worry. I needed to pull myself together to deal with the tension that would most likely encircle us, the instant he walked in the room. I did my homework, and waited for the sound of the door opening. The sound never came. I finished around eleven, and he still wasn't there. Maybe he was on his way from Hogsmade, they usually come back around now.
I started worrying twenty minutes later, and at Midnight I decided to go find him. * I know he's mad at me, but he shouldn't risk getting caught by another prefect. * I had no clue where to start...and what if he was hurt. Knowing Potter, he'd be somewhere forbidden, maybe in a secret passage way. I went outside, getting soaked, but I didn't care. I looked around the school, I happened to see a small light in the corner of my eye. I looked up towards the Astronomy Tower, and I saw a small light, and a silhouette in the window, it was runny like water color, but I was pretty sure it was Potter, and it was. I ran back into the school and, stalked quietly up to the Tower, dripping water everywhere. I got to the door, and opened it quietly, and slipped in, closing it just as quietly behind me.
The room was lit up; all the telescopes were pushed away. I looked towards the window, and saw the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on. Potter was sitting on the windowsill, soaking wet, the water glistening on his skin and hair like small diamonds. His cloths stuck to him, as he looked out of the window. He was cold I could tell. But why didn't he come get new cloths? I rolled my eyes, that's my Potter for you...I mean...ah...Let's just say I blushed a tad bit. "Potter?" I asked in a calm tone. He looked at me, his lips trembling as his teeth chattered under them. It was in one word, adorable. I wanted to hold him, kiss him, and warm him with my hands, anything to get near him. My emotions were clouding my mind right now. "Malfoy?" Potter's voice brought me from my haze, only to drown in another. He had got up, and I was starring into the shorter boy's lovely green eyes.
He starred up at me with lovely eyes. "I think you need to sit down, Malfoy." He pulled me to sit down at the windowsill with him. I think I scared him, my eyes clouded with emotion not even I knew what it was at the time. And I was staring him down. I saw him shiver under my stare as if it was making him feel uncomfortable in a good way. But I was delusional at the time, so maybe I read that shiver wrong. He blushed, "I don't know what you find so fascinating..." Potter said his cheeks darkening more. He was cute, and so lovely. Did he not know? Had anyone ever told him? I let one of my hands stroke his wet hair and face. He looked up at me, confused. "Malfoy?" I honestly saw his eyes asking me, to kiss him. Just this once, I don't know if that's what he really wanted, but it's what I saw.
I gently tilted his chin and leaned down, and my lips gently brushed against his. All intelligent thought drained from my brain as I only focused on this soft moment. He didn't do anything, he didn't stop me he didn't respond, and I could tell he was afraid to. It only scared me off, but it was my fault. I pulled away. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have, look we shouldn't share a room anymore, I'll move out tomorrow. Don't worry I'll sleep in the Slytheirn common room. See you around Potter." I said and stalked out felling my heart...yes heartbreak in two. I love him; I wish I had admitted it sooner.
