Chapter 5 : the Astronomy Tower
Next morning….
"what d'you mean the whole school knows about me and Emily!" Draco yelled to Pansy Parkinson's nasty face, the same way Emily did last night. His face was burning red with anger. He looked around the Great Hall. Everyone's watching them now. Except for Emily who look like she wanted to hide under the table. Draco wished that the earth would just open up and swallow him right now..
In Emily's Herbology Class ( Gryffindor with Hufflepuff ), everyone was gossiping and glancing over their shoulder at Emily. Emily kept herself sane by concertrating on the weird plant assigned by Professor Sprout. It has an ugly green flower and stinky blue something, probably it's leaves, Emily thought. As she walked towards the castle an hour later, a small barn owl swooped above her and dropped a letter. It was a message from Draco. 'Meet me at the Astronomy Tower, at lunch, make sure that no one sees you, bring some food if you're hungry, love Draco.' Emily's heart flipped as she finished reading the letter.
It was ten minutes before lunch, but Draco was already up at the astronomy tower, he'd slipped out of Professor Binns class early because he can't stand another minute of the old ghost blabbering through history.
Sitting on the stone floor of the tower, Draco waited for Emily, he was wondering if the stupid school owl managed to deliver his message to Emily when he heard a soft whisper from behind, he turned and saw Emily smiling down at him.
"Hey," he said " you're here.."
"I'm here.." she said. She went and sat beside Draco on the stone floor. Draco noticed that she had her hair pulled into a ponytail with a red ribbon. She's so beautiful..he thought to himself. Unconsciously, he touched her hair, " your hair is so soft" he said, he untied the ribbon and her hair fell down like a soft curtain, "thank you" whispered Emily, blushing deeply. Draco took the ribbon and put it inside his pocket. They went silent a moment.
"The whole school knew about us, Draco" said Emily, breaking the silence.
"What should we do?" she said. She looked deep into his eyes, waiting for his answer. "I don't know, maybe we should just act normally" he replied, he had totally lost in Emily's eyes. "or maybe, we should stop seeing each other for a while," muttered Emily, taking her eyes off Draco's, making him dropped back on earth. "What! No, Emily, I don't think that's necessary! I mean, we can't just stop what we have not yet begun. We only just getting to know each other!" he said, his voice quivered slightly.
"Then, what d'you want to do? We can't just pretend like nothing happened.." she said. Draco went silent, he didn't know what to say, it's not like he even care about what the whole school thinks of him, but Emily's right, they can't just do nothing, especially when the chances for her good-for-nothing brother to interfere in their relationship is pretty high. "Meet me tonight, by the lake, wait till everyone's asleep, I'll think of something we could do" he finally spoke.
Emily wanted to say something, to argue, but couldn't. Finally she agreed, "Okay" she said and then she gave him a quick peck on his cheek. Draco taken by surprise, simply blushed furiously. He tried to kiss her back, but Emily was quicker, she got up and ran, giggling. Draco felt a new sensation slipping into him. He felt happy. It's been a while since the last time he really felt this way. He can't wait for tonight to arrive.
A/N: (smile apologetically) school had started…. Hehe. Sorry for this really short chapter, more will come, and I promise, sooner..
