Love in All Forms

Chapter 5: The "Study Session" and Surprising Guests

Morgan sighed as she looked at all her homework for the day. "I guess I'm not going to dinner with Draco," she thought. She went to the owlry and wrote him a quick note explaining why she couldn't go to dinner and then sat on her bed to work on her homework. Professor McGonagell had loaded up on the homework and so had many other of her teachers.

"MORGAN STARR!" a voice that seemed to come from the walls called.

She looked up. "Yes," she relied questioningly.

"YOU HAVE A VISTOR AT THE PORTRAIT, COME IMMEDIATELY!" the voice said.

She shrugged and ran down the stairs to the entrance of the common room. She said the password and the portrait opened. Malfoy was standing there, an eyebrow raised.

"Homework, huh? Trying to get rid of me?" he joked.

She shook her head quickly. "No! Of course not! I really have homework!"

He laughed and looked down at his shoes. "That isn't why I came though," he sighed. "I…um…need help with my Transfiguration homework. Please?"

She grinned. "Sure. Let me get mine and we can go back to your common room to work." Morgan summoned her homework and the portrait closed behind her.

Five minutes later Harry walked into the common room. He had a plate of food in each hand. He walked up towards the girls dormitories. "Morgan, I thought I could help you with your homework. I also brought us dinner." He didn't hear an answer. He set down one of the dishes and opened the door. There was no one in the room. Harry sent the food back to the kitchen and sat down on her bed.

He laid down on the bed and smelled her pillow. He loved the smell of her perfume and soon, he fell asleep in her bed.

The Slytherin common room was empty except for two seventh year students sitting on a couch, studying. Morgan was leaning over a thick book, trying to find some definitions.

Malfoy was watching her.

She looked up a moment. "What are you doing, Draco? Don't you have to study?" she asked.

"I can't study, I'm kind of distracted."

"By what?"

"Isn't that a tough question," he said, grinning. He leaned back against the couch and shut his eyes for a moment. Morgan looked at him and couldn't help but notice his muscles.

"What are you looking at?" his eyes fluttered open suddenly.

She blushed furiously. "Nothing," she whispered and went back to her book.

"I like it when you blush," he said. "You're so cute when you're embarrassed." He smoothed his hair away from his face.

Morgan smiled slightly, but still didn't say anything. Malfoy put two fingers under her chin and turned her towards him. She looked away, not meeting his eyes.

"Can you look at me? Why are you avoiding my eyes?" he said, a little annoyed.

"If I do look into your eyes, I won't be able to look away again," she whispered.

He laughed. "Well you have no complaints over here."

She looked slowly into his eyes. She couldn't help but smile. They were so blue. Like ice almost. She tried to look away, but couldn't and she grinned, knowing she had been right. "I told you what would happen," Morgan said, teasingly.

He brought her face closer and her eyes closed in anticipation of what he was doing. Softly and gently, he pressed his lips against hers. "God," he thought to himself. "I have never been this gentle before. I feel like she could break any minute."

She pulled away. "What are you thinking about?" she inquired.

"You," he smirked. Malfoy pulled her closer to him and she rested her head on his shoulder. "You will go with me to dinner when you can, won't you?"

She stood up. "I better go. But about dinner, of course!" She leaned down to kiss him on the cheek and then left.

He sighed, contentedly, and went to his dormitory.

Outside in the hallway, Morgan was grinning like crazy. She walked back to the common room with a little bit of a skip in her step. "Lionheart!" she said upon returning to the portrait leading to her common room.

A few people were in the common room, but most were still at dinner. She went upstairs to actually study. It surprised her to see Harry asleep on her bed. Her hands brushed away his hair, revealing the scar he worked so hard to hide. Deciding to let him sleep, she got a chair and studied quietly.

When it came time to go to bed, explained to the other girls what happened. They were quiet too and didn't wake Harry. Morgan got some extra blankets and pillows and slept on the floor next to her bed.

The next morning, the girls in the dorm with Morgan all had early classes so when Morgan got up, they were all gone. Harry was still asleep on her bed. Hoping he didn't wake up, she started to get dressed. Luckily, he didn't wake up until she had her pants and tank top on.

"What! What am I doing here?" Harry exclaimed.

Morgan smiled at him. "I don't know. You were here last night when I came in. I didn't want to wake you up," she stated.

He tried to smooth his hair. "Oh, that's right. I brought us food and I thought I would help you study," he said. "Where were you?"

She blushed a little. "I was already studying with someone."

"Who?"

"Draco…"

"MALFOY! Morgan! You don't even know him! He is horrible!" Harry was getting very angry. "He doesn't even know how to treat a girl!"

"Yes he does! Last night I felt like a princess. He is very kind to me all the time!" Morgan rebuked.

Harry sighed. "Find it out for yourself then," he said and began to leave.

She ran up to him and stood in front of him. "Please don't leave like this! You are my friend and I don't want you to be mad!"

He shook his head and tried to walk past her. Her eyes teared up a bit and she hugged him. He was taken aback, not at all suspecting that she would hug him. Her head was leaning against his chest.

"She is so short," he thought to himself. "I can't even be mad at her for dating Mafoy! Oh, who cares, she is hugging me!" Giving up he put his arms around her.

They stood for a minute. "You should probably go," she said finally, "If anyone finds out you stayed the night both of us will be in big trouble! I will see you in care of magical creatures!" she said and bound up the stairs back to her dormitory.
