I opened my eyes muttering "Thanks." My mind took in the scene slowly. In front of me stood Draco, his beautiful blonde hair unkempt, his blue eyes stained red and looking paler than usual. "Draco..." I croaked. "Dru..." I fell into his arms. "It wasn't true... what Minnie said..." "I... yer..." I gasped thru my sobs. "I love you." he whispered. "I love you too." I whispered back. Then came the kiss I'd been craving/driving myself crazy for, for so long. "C'mon lets go." he smiled taking my hand and walking back to the common room. We slipped thru unnoticed as everyone was crowded around Minnie who was bragging about how she'd "split Dru and Draco up".
Me and Draco slipped into my bed clinging to each other for warmth. "I'm sorry." I whispered. "Don't be." Draco whispered back. "I was just a little shaken." "I know" he whispered back stroking my hair soothingly. I let out a yawn and finally fell asleep.
I awoke the next morning to see Sally and Minnie giving me the dirtiest looks possible. Me and Draco walked down to the common room and took the couch off Crabbe and Goyle, it was rightfully ours after all. Of course the fact that me and Draco were still together generated alot of fuss. Not that Draco minded, I just stood back and let him get on with it.
I was walking to potions on my own coz I was running late. I turned as I heard someone behind me. No one was there. As I turned back around I saw a suit of armour standing sword raised above my head. I screamed and jumped out of the way. I backed off as it swiped furiously at me. I was backed into a corner when a jinx hit it and it clattered to the floor. "Dru, are you ok!" Draco bounded up to me as Crabbe and Goyle followed him gormlessly. I nodded altough I was quite obviously shaken by the whole ordeal. "What the hell just happened?" "I don't know I just turned and it was there." I replied as calmly as I could. I shrugged it off and hurried down to potions glad to get away from the corridor.
I soon realized that alot of "accidents" seemed to be happening around me. "Maybe someone wants to hurt you..." Melinda said during a potions lesson. "Probably some jealous girl." Clarissa shrugged. "Yea probably, Draco could ya get me one of those thingles? Yer thankle" I smiled. "Maybe it's Malfoy..." Clarissa whispered once Draco had left the table. "Psssh! He's the one saving me most of the time, and I mean, you know Draco, he's hardly shy to admit it." "Yes but what if that's just what he wants you to think?" "Shit, Drusilla!" Draco called before pushing me out of the way of a knife that was speeding across the room. "Oh for fucks sake" I sighed as it landed neatly on our table. Clarissa gave me a stern look before eyeing Draco suspiciously.
