Chapter 15
The sharp beams of the bright sun stung Draco's eyes. Confused as to where he was, he slowly recognized his surroundings and the unusual weight upon him.
"Shit," Draco mumbled. He yawned, only to catch a bit of Ron's hair in his mouth. His eyes adjusted to the morning light and fell upon the boy wrapped around him. His mouth slightly drooping, a small pool of drool collected in the curve of Draco's collarbone.
"Why am I still here?" he thought to himself, "Stupid Ron…urgh, Weasley. Good thing he's still asleep. Maybe I can leave without him noticing…"
Draco slightly shifted, only to be held tighter by Ron's grasp, him sighing softly. The blonde held in a groan as he settled down once again, suppressing a small smile. "Maybe a few more minutes…" he decided as he watched the sunrise with Ron in his arms.
"Now class, the natural light in the tower will help us see the magical and wondrous works of the leaves which are most readable in here," Professor Trelawney announced as she ushered her "Tea Leaf Team" to the Astronomy Tower for their first of the weekly readings.
The professor opened the door and walked in, "As you can see, the lovely sunrise is perfect…" she stopped in her tracks and rambling as her eyes fell upon the intruders. She closed the door behind her, "but the sun is directly in the tower now, not good at all for the leaves," she replied to the questioning eyes of her students.
"Wait here," she said as she opened the door again, slamming it shut. "And what is this? Mr. Malfoy, is it? And…" she spotted the furry orange hair shaking awake under the blanket, "Mr. Weasley?" she said in an authoritative tone. The perplexed look on her face meaning she truly had no understanding.
Draco has been shifted out of his reverie at the door and was shook out violently at the professor's volume. He quickly looked at the situation, the blanket covered the both of them fully, and the only parts peeking out were Draco's head and Ron's hair.
"Oh Professor Trelawney," his honey-covered voice drew out, "We were studying in the library and wanted to test out some of the Divination…things in here and what would you know, we just happened to fall asleep," he said with simplicity.
The professor eyed the books near her feet, Hermoine's "Divination for Beginners" being on top and gave in to Draco's defense.
"Did you boys? See anything interesting?" she asked with an excited tone.
Ron giggled slightly under the blanket, "Yes professor, I certainly saw some interesting things on Draco…" his remark was stifled by a smack on his chest by the blonde.
"Really? What did you see?" Trelawney inquired.
"Oh never mind Weasley, Mrs. Trelawney," Draco laughed nervously and hit Ron again who was kissing and sucking Draco's chest, making him squirm very uncomfortably. "We don't know much about this."
"Well it's just superb that you boys have taken an interest in this study so early on, I can't wait to have you next year!" she exclaimed.
"Oh yes," Ron said, peeking his head out, "But perhaps you could excuse us to leave since we have slept here all night and am quite uncomfortable."
"Of course boys," Trelawney offered, "You should come to one of our 'Tea Leaf Team' meetings if you are still interested. Just starting them today; every Saturday here."
Draco flashed her a smile, "We might take you up on your offer then." She smiled and showed no sign of moving. Momentarily Draco panicked, "Urm…perhaps you should check with the team, then…to ensure nothing happened. We won't be long."
"Ah yes, I should. I've been blithering on with you two for too long," she said mindlessly before heading to the door. "Nice to finally have met Lucius' son and the newest Weasley boy. Hope you are like Percy and not the twins," she alleged with a wink and closed the door behind her.
Draco drew out the breath he has been holding in the whole time, "Gods, I thought we were dead for sure."
"Yeah that was a close one," Ron replied, shrugging the blanket off him.
Draco immediately got up and pulled on his pants. "No thanks to you, Weasel," he responded with a snarl.
"What?" Ron innocently asked, putting on his shirt. "I did see interesting things, like the face you make when you come…the way your mouth…"
"Do shut up and get some clothes on Ron," Draco interrupted with a sigh. "You don't know when that lunatic will be back," he whined as he fixed his robe.
Ron smiled as he went to pick up his books. "Oh Draco, I can't wait to do this again," he said as he opened the door with a pleasant tone.
"What makes you think…" he began until he now faced Trelawney and the other lunatics who came to look at tea bags at this awful hour. "…That the last sign was necessarily bad?" he finished innocently. He passed the group and sped onwards.
"Because it has to do with you and you're trouble," Ron replied, smiling at the others. He ran to catch up to Draco.
Draco looked back to see everyone was in the tower and stopped his quick pace upon reaching the staircase, "No, you're trouble, Weasley. You almost got us caught earlier. You know what would happen?" he asked angrily.
"That they would tell your dad?" Ron said dramatically, putting a hand over his mouth.
Draco rolled his eyes, "He already knows…but our fellow classmates will know."
"Since when do you care about what anyone thinks?" Ron exclaimed, putting his hands on his hips.
"No, it's not that. They would think of us as, some sort of couple or something," his mouth scowled at the intimation. "Which we are not. Not. And I refuse to have people thinking that with me and…anyone. I do not have anyone multiple times nor do I have boyfriends." Draco huffed and with that stormed off towards the Slytherin hall.
Leaving Ron standing with his hands still on his hips, fuming with anger.
