Chapter 4
Ella opened her eyes to find Draco hanging out of his bed, well only a leg. She rolled out of bed and walked over to him, studying his face she noticed that she no longer looked at him and saw the baboon that she saw last night. He face was gentle as he slept, his just above the shoulder hair laid against his pillows as he slept on his back. She watched as he moved his leg and shifted himself as he turned onto his side. She placed a hand gently on his cheek and stroked from his ear to his soft lips. She watched as he opened his eyes to see her inches from his face. She watched as he lifted himself with his elbow, her eyes went wide as his soft lips lightly brushed against her own.
I have to be possessed by the demon himself. Draco thought as he kissed Ella, the pulled was too great for him to stop it. As he wrapped his arm around her middle and pulled her closer, they stopped kissing only when they needed to breathe. "Wow..." Draco stated quietly, Ella was staring at him with her intense eyes... they were witch-like. He blinked... "Ummm sorry." He mumbled. But Ella shook her head, "Don't worry about it."
They left the room at different times just like the night before to change, Draco left Ella go first and when she was done, he quickly changed since a line started outside the bathroom. "Bloody hell, ferret boy... I thought you would never leave the bathroom." Ron commented as he leaned against the wall with Ginny and Hermione. "Oh Weasel boy, shut you mouth before I make you..." He said quickly and walked over to Ella, who heard the yelling and went into the hallway.
Their hands instantly came together as their fingers intertwined. Ron went wide-eyed, "You are both together! But this is Draco..." Ella shook her head as left with Draco... they headed for the kitchen for breakfast.
Hermione and Ginny stood with their mouths open as Draco and Ella walked off. Harry walked down the hallway and looked at his friends... "What is wrong?" As Harry looked at Hermione and Ginny, "It was that bloody American girl... I can't believe it- She's with that ferret- boy!"
Draco and Ella walked into the kitchen to see Neville, Mrs. Weasley, Sirius, and Lupin. Lupin picked up Neville early in the morning, the boy looked better since his bones were mended. Ella and Draco still had their cuts and bruises. They sat next to Neville, Ella looked at everyone, "So any news?" Lupin shook his head. Ella took a deep breath. Draco looked at Lupin and with his piercing eyes he stared. "And what about the Owls?" Lupin just shook his head again- "Ask Dumbledore when he gets here." Draco nodded, "I will." He commented.
Ella still held on to Draco's hand under the table, Lupin noticed and his eyebrow rose a bit. Ella noticed and looked to the tabletop, Draco notice that she was staring at the table... he rubbed her hand with his thumb. Ella smiled, "I think I need air..." Lupin shook his head, "It isn't safe to leave this house..." As he stated this Ella's eyes got big, so I didn't sign anything to stay here but I'm stuck here!" She was yelling at the end at Lupin. Draco just stared silently.
Lupin looked at Ella, "It's for you're safely..." Ella interrupted, "Well is there at east a back yard..." Lupin shook his head. "I can't believe this... I can't believe it." Ella looked angry; Draco put a hand against her back as he tried to calm her. Ella sighed and took a plate of eggs that Molly was offering them each, with their free hands they ate their breakfast.
Neville looked at their joined hands and an eyebrow rose up, looking at Lupin- Lupin placed a finger against his lips, Neville just nodded. At this time the others came down the stairs, and sat around the table- they looked at the two and mumbled to each other. Ella and Draco just looked at together.
After breakfast the house grew quiet, many were upstairs. But Ella and Draco sat in the living room with their schoolbooks on the floor. Draco was wondering about the Owls- and Ella was worried about Draco. "What's bugging you Draco?" She asked as they were reading their charms book. Draco lifted his eyes to hers, "Staying here is absolutely poppycock." Ella looked at Draco, "Is staying here bugging you that much? Do have a place to go?" Draco nodded and looked at Draco, "You can come with me, if you want...?"
They quickly decided and went upstairs to pack, they were to leave the Grimmald place and end up at the Malfoys... but that is the next part of the story.
