Chapter 7
Somehow we made it out of the forest with little trouble. We walked into the castle and I turned toward Draco.
"Well I have to take these to Snape, bye." I turned and started to walk away.
"Don't I even get a thanks?"
"No." I said simply and walked down to the dungeons with Rainey following.
I gave a short rap on the door then walked into Snape's office.
"Floating shrooms? Quite classic." he said with a sheer. I put a hand on my hip and raised an eyebrow.
"I got your shrooms, why you need them I'll never know." I responded.
Snape blushed. Druggie!
"I think this detention is officially over." I told Snape before walking out. In the hallway I spotted someone from the previous mission. "Couldn't stay away?" I asked Draco.
"Maybe not."
"Where'd Rainey go?" I asked.
"I ditched her at Dumbledore's"
"I thought you went back to the dormitory."
Draco smirked. "You thought wrong."
I returned the smirk before turning. Draco grabbed my hand, and I turned, confused without a sarcastic response or classic eyebrow raise. I was going to ask 'can I help you?' but he pulled me close, placing his lips on mine. He kisses like a god!
We finally parted, both mutually but sadly. I would've kept kissing...
His lips were puffy from my work. I stared into his eyes...
"Mr. Malfoy, Miss. Longbottom, clear the hallway." Snape demanded, stepping out of the dungeons. I tried to keep with Draco's stride, but he walked too fast and evaded me. 'Why?' I wondered. 'Why kiss me and leave?'
As soon as we made it to the Slytherin common room Draco disappeared into his room. When I walked into my room, I noticed all my stuff had been put away and a fire was glowing brightly in the fireplace. I found my pjs and went in search of the bathroom.
I found it easily and turned on the shower. I looked in the mirror, staring back at me were my mother's beautiful blue eyes. I had always wondered where I had gotten my black pin straight hair, so different from my mother's golden curls.
I looked away from my reflection, undressed and got into the shower. I didn't realize I was crying until I turned off the water and the tears were streaming down my face. I hated that o was crying, that I was showing such weakness.
I dried off, got dressed and slipped out into the deserted common room. My eyes automatically looked to Draco's door, there was no light shining under it. Why did he kiss me? Does he regret it?
So many questions were going through my mind as I went up to my room and fell into a dreamless sleep.
