~~~~~~~~~~Chapter Four- The Annoyance of Unwanted Love (Draco's POV)
"Get away from me, Blaise!" Blaise was making unwanted advancements in our dormitory. He took a step closer and I took a step back.
"Come on, I know you want me. Quit denying it," he said, trying to sound sexy. And I have to admit, Blaise was a very good looking guy. He was two inches taller than me, dark eyes, and sleek brown hair. But he wasn't Harry.
"I don't want you!" I screamed.
"Please, Draco?" he pouted.
"No." I said sternly.
"Draco, there's no shame in liking me. Just admit it already," he whispered.
It was time to use my last resort. "I have a boyfriend, Blaise."
His eyes flashed with anger. "Who?"
"That's none of your concern." I scowled.
"Of course it's my concern! Did I mean nothing to you, Draco?" He said, trying to calm himself by pacing the room.
"I have told you time and time again, 'It meant NOTHING to me!' Why won't you accept that?"
"I refuse to believe that it was just sex... You love me more than that."
"I never loved you!" I would never love someone like him. He is too demanding, too arrogant. Plus, he's one of Voldemorts lackeys. I slept with him once over the summer after a particularly depressing week. He took it as a sign that I liked him.
I walked elegantly out of the dorm. Once I was out of the common room and into the hall I began to run. I ran strait to where the Gryffindor tower was rumored to be. I stopped to catch my breath once I came across an old fat chick in a pink dress.
"Let me in," I demanded.
"No. Not unless you have the password." She glared.
"Fine. Could you at least tell Harry Potter that someone is out here looking for him?" I asked, trying to look as innocent as possible. She nodded and disappeared from her frame.
Moments later the portrait hole opened and out stepped Harry.
"Draco? What are you doing here?" Harry questioned.
"Kiss me," I pleaded, not caring about how desperate I sounded. He stepped towards me encircling his arms around my waist. I drew up my hands to the back of his neck tangling my fingers in his matted black hair. He placed his soft lips on mine. The kiss didn't have it's normal roughness or the feel of pure lust. It was gentle and... loving. There were no words to describe how I was feeling. It was the most wonderful thing I have ever experienced.
Just then, I heard a gasp. We immediately broke apart and looked to the empty portrait frame. Weasley and Granger stood, jaws dropped, in the entrance.
I took a look around and let the horrific scene sink in. Weasley was looking from me to Harry in complete disbelief. Granger looked shocked beyond all reason. Harry looked scared out of his wits. I, on the other hand, found this whole situation utterly amusing.
I closed my arms around Harry's waist, knocking everyone out of their current conditions.
"We asked the Fat Lady where you ran off to and she told us that a handsome young blonde came looking for you. Hermione and I thought he might want a fight, so we came to help you out. Obviously that wont be necessary, seeing as how you were snogging that horrible, conceited git!" Weasley looked at Harry, bearing a thoroughly disgusted expression.
I pulled out my wand. "don't you ever look at Harry that way again, Weasley!" I shouted.
"Stop pretending you care, you slimy, self-centered git!"
"Shut up, both of you! Stop fighting for one second and let me talk," Harry yelled. His eyes were glassy, and I noticed for the first time, how close he was to tears. ~I'll curse Weasley from here to oblivion for this, mark my words!~
"There will be no curses, hexes, or jinxes. You will treat each other with respect, Harry commanded. "I'm not saying that you have to become friends or anything, but you must at least be civil to one another."
"But Harry, I think we deserve an explanation. I mean, not two days ago, you hated him," Granger finally spoke up.
"Yeah Harry, surely you can explain why you can no longer see how cruel and vindictive he is," Weasley spat.
I growled at the insensitivity in his tone. How dare he treat Harry like that? I was out raged. I wanted to shred him limb from limb, cut him into pieces, and feed him to my cat back at the Manor.
Harry looked at me. "He's not cruel or vindictive. He's really sweet and caring.." Weasley let out a snort that Harry countered with a fierce glare. If looks could kill, he would have dropped dead then and there. "You're the one that's being a jackass!"
"Harry," Granger said softly, "give him a break. This whole thing is kind of a shock. I think you are both saying things that you don't really mean." It's kind of funny. Granger was like the peace keeper. Both Harry and Weasley's faces softened.
"Sorry, Hermione," they both said in unison. Granger smiled as she took Ron's arm and dragged him back into the common room, leaving Harry and I alone.
"Sweet and caring?" I smiled.
"I couldn't think of anything, so I lied. I couldn't make myself look bad," he said seriously.
I frowned and turned back towards the direction of the dungeons. He grabbed my arm and turned me so I was facing him.
"I was only kidding, you dork." He broke into fits of laughter. I had to kiss him just to get him to shut up. ~God Potter is annoying.~ I kissed him again.
"Good night, Potter."
"Good night, Malfoy."
I kissed him one last time before heading towards the dungeons. All I could think about throughout the night was Harry's illuminating smile.
