Chapter 5- how to say "I love you."
Thanks for all the people who have emailed me.here's the new chapter. It's summer vaca so im pumping these out faster than I can even imagine! I'm also working on an original fic. I'm a bit stuck though since almost all D/HR scenarios have been covered in one way or another..so im trying to get the creative juices pumping. Any loose ideas in *your* heads?
On with the story(
*~*back at the store.*~*
Draco sat on the desk in the back room sketching as usual. He always had a passion for art, although his father continually told him how useless art was, unless it was a naked sketch that moved. Draco thought about the past, his attitude not even a year ago, and how different he was now. Sure, he hated those who were not brought up as he had been, but he had learned to accept them as equals. Working at the store furthered his discovery of different people and different classes. He also wanted to love, but that seemed like such a far fetched idea. The only person he was comfortable talking about it was.
"Hey Sev..?"
Snape was busy looking over papers and pacing. He had worn a nice little path from his office to the safe and back. "Yeah?"
Draco got up and sat on the couch. "I need to ask you something."
"Uh-huh."
"Now, I know you were always deemed a heartless bastard.." Snape stopped pacing at the comment, shook his head, and continued to pace.
Draco sighed and continued. " But at one point you must have known about women and love and all that sort of thing."
Snape stopped and walked around to face Draco. "Ha. Yeah. The one woman I loved left me for another woman, and the last witch that I was even remotely interested in forced me to leave at wand-point.does this qualify me?"
"Oh yeah! Definitely. Look, Professor, I've decided that today is the day that I'm gonna tell Corey how I feel about her."
Snape had already begun to continue pacing at this point. "Uh huh."
Draco got up and followed Snape around the room. "No, I know what you're thinking, but I really am. I mean, I've been working here off and on for the past year, and man, I don't know. She used to be this awful mudblood. But ever since I was kicked out of my house and I had to work with, well, all sorts of people, I really got to know her you know? I mean, hell, I'm ever friend with bloody Potter and High to the Sky Weasley! We even bunk together now! Anyways, I've gotta tell her how I feel, you know? I've gotta tell her that I, er,.well, you know, that I er.."
Snape paused at the safe and looked at a flustered Draco. "Love her?"
"Yeah! Now how do I do that?"
Snape got up and placed his hands on Draco's shoulders. "You say 'I love you'. What do you want? Written instructions?" Snape began to look around the room and began to mumble to himself. " .if I find that kid, I swear, I swear I am going to hex him."
Draco began speaking to no one in particular. "Ok, I am going to tell her this morning."
Snape was still pacing. "Good."
"By noon..definitely."
"Right," said Snape, who was barely paying attention to the love struck boy.
"No.by noon or one."
"Uh-huh."
"By 1:37 EXACTLY, Sev."
Snape began to walk into his office." Well, good luck."
"Well, thank you."
That's all! Thanks again for reading!
