Their lips were close to each others and almost connected. Yet, the classroom door swung open and a gust of wind came rushing in.
Both of them jolted their heads toward the door and stood apart from each other, but the strange this one is that no one was there. The door closed again and Draca simply thought to herself… Tom?
"Tom?" Sango asked her, she backed away from him and feared for herself then.
"What are you saying about?" She asked him trying to play it off as he was crazy.
"You thought the name 'Tom', am I right?" He said, tilting his head a bit and looking at her with no sign of confusion yet understanding.
"H-how," Draca couldn't concentrate, she had asked him before how he could read her mind yet he never answered, "How do you do that?"
One of those smiles came to his face, a smile that meant no worries or cares. "Kitten…"
"No, not kitten right now, I want to know how you can r-read my thoughts!" She interrupted him with fear in her voice.
"Please don't fear me," He told her, his eyes looking sad.
"Your not the one I fear! Now, answer my bloody question!" She somewhat screamed.
He sighed deeply as he walked over to his desk and sat on top of it. He placed his face in his hands and tried to figure out how to tell her.
"You wouldn't believe me, nor would you want to ever hang out with me again if I told you." He said, looking up at her with a blank face. Yet his beauty still shined through his saddened eyes.
"Try me," Draca pleaded on, she wanted to know.
"Fine, but if I tell you… you have to tell me who Tom is." He told her and she simply nodded her head in agreement. "Alright, then I'll just say it…"
Draca ran through the corridors looking for him. He wanted to be found; she could feel him near. She finally spotted him in a dark corridor that wasn't used often.
She stopped in front of him trying to catch her breath.
"Will you please explain yourself, what was going on down there with you and that new Professor?" Tom asked her looking furious.
"Chatting up a little, that's all. You told me to find out stuff about him so I'm hanging out with him." She answered, trying to sound casual.
"Yes," Tom began, "find stuff about him not go join hips with him and memorize his mouth structure!"
"Yes, I know… he's just so different… he's…"
But something caught Tom's eye that she clearly saw he wasn't paying any mind to her now. He hadn't even noticed that she stopped talking.
Draca turned to see what he was staring at and found a beautiful black wolf staring right back at them. A smile came to Draca, she felt safe just then.
"Why is there a wolf in this castle?" Tom asked looking in the wolf's eyes.
"Maybe, and just maybe, he's someone's pet." Draca said with a wider smile coming to her.
"We'll meet up later tonight in the Slytherin common room while no one else is there. I'll be there so you better show up." A gust of wind came through the corridor and Tom had disappeared.
She looked around to see if Tom had really left and then looked over at the wolf who was now looking at her.
"That is Tom." She said to him and then turned around and began to walk away.
Soon after that she felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up and saw Sango at her wake walking with her.
"We're at an agreement then, you don't tell about me and I don't tell anyone about this. You know, you can come to me whenever you want to talk if you need." He said, he seemed smooth about it but then it seemed that his insides where turning over.
"Yeah," Draca said catching her eyes with his. It seemed that they pulled each other in a trance because soon they both leaned in and made lip connection. The kiss wasn't long but it was very sweet, it was like it meant something. "I'll see you in class tomorrow and then maybe we could hang out afterward."
"Yeah," He said with his eyes filled with happiness now, "I'll see you then, kitten."
He had finally found someone he cared for and that knew his secret. Someone he trusted and someone he could always trust it seemed. They both walked in opposite directions with the same feeling in the pit of their stomach… pure happiness.
