Draco's Confessions

-DICLASIMER:: I OWN NOTHING. ALL FROM J.K. ROWLING

EXCEPT MELODY!-

I felt my body go rigid I sensed someone I hadn't felt in weeks, Draco.

I looked around looking for some way to escape, but everywhere was locked, even the windows.

I heard the door open and I felt the tears fall down faster, I kept quiet hoping to dissolve. I then thought of Ally but I knew it was too late.

"M-Melody?"

I wiped my eyes on my sleeve and looked at him.

My heart stayed stationary for once but my mind swam with words I wanted to scream at him, many of them curses others swear-words.

I hiccupped, "Malfoy." I said icily.

He looked shocked at me. I had never called him Malfoy, only 'git' jokingly.

Dumbledore looked happy. "Perhaps we should leave, Sybil, Severus?"

They nodded.

The door then closed behind them.

"H-how are you?" his voiced cracked.

"Better." I said with venom.

He hung his head, he was crying again.

"I-I'm sorry." he choked.

"I-I heard what you said o-outside the door."

I fingered my wand in my pocket calmly and casually.

"From what part of the conversation?"

He turned pink, "From y-you asking why something was i-important."

I felt myself turn crimson, half with anger, the other with embarrassment.

He knew how I felt.

I didn't look at him, "So now you know."

I heard him nod.

I then heard another movement that sounded like he was leaving.

I turned around but he was right in front of me.

"What do you want!" I blurted at him.

His pale face turned red, "T-to be your b-boyfriend."

I felt enraged, NOW he wants to go out with me!

I breathed calmly, "I'll think about it."

He looked ashamed and his lips met mine.

I felt the world stop, it lasted a second but it felt like a full year, his lips were so soft and warm; both of ours were wet with tears.

I didn't respond because it was so fast.

I looked at him shocked.

My face must have been the colour of Ron's hair.

I whispered instinctively "Ally."

Crack.

She was there, then Crack. We were in my dormitory.

I lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling, I grabbed my letters I had, what felt like years now, just read.

And then I noticed Ally was still there.

"Can you deliver these, Ally, and send the last 2 off with Hedwig, if Harry isn't using her?"

She looked a bit shocked, but left

I then looked at the time, it was midnight.

I instantly started on my homework Ally had left me.

I finished it at 7 in the morning.

I got up out of bed, put it into my bag and left to shower.

When I got back Pansy was up getting some eyeliner on and Milly was getting out of her pyjamas.

They both froze for a moment, I smiled with excitement.

"Morning!" I beamed at them.

They gave a nervous look at each other, I got changed and then I noticed that they were still frozen staring at me.

I shook my head, "We've got classes you two, hurry up or we'll miss breakfast."

They continued dazed.

I slung my bag over my shoulder.

"Should we be worried?" Pansy asked.

"Do you need to see Madame Pomfrey?" Milly squeaked.

I beamed, "I'm fine, better since I've been in years."

Milly was assured but Pansy was shaken still.

Milly and I laughed at Sir Codgan as he brandished his sword and fell over.

At this Pansy seemed to lighten up a bit towards me.

"So why are you so happy all of a sudden?"

I surged, "I really don't know. I woke up this morning and felt different, like the last couple years weren't in hiding, yea know?"

Milly nodded and Pansy half accepted this.

We went down to Hagrid's hut for Care of Magical Creatures after Herbology.

Hagrid did a double take when he saw me, "Melody!" he boomed in half-excitement, half complete shock.

Harry, Ron and Hermione from the front of the class whipped around also shocked.

Hermione ran forward and hugged me, then pulled away.

"I thought you had Ally write those notes and send them to us! But you're better…how when!"

"Long story." I mumbled my heart leapt when I saw Draco, who seemed a bit sheepish but smiled at me.

I smiled back and grouped with Harry, Ron and Hermione as we worked over Blast-Ended-Shrewts.

"WHAT!" all three of them cried when I told them about me and Draco kissing.

"Ssshhh!" I hissed at them. "Quiet down."

"What are you going to tell him?" Harry hissed.

"Obviously 'no'!" Ron whispered loudly. "I mean if he really is the reason for your problem why would you agree to hang around with he git if he might hurt you!"

I sighed.

Hermione reading my thoughts hissed "Ron obviously she's going to say 'yes' or else she'll regret it and become really hurt! She might not even eat again!"

"Thanks for that." I said to her. "But it's not me we need to worry about now, it's Harry." I said looking at him.

He was in the Tri-wizard Tournament and I knew he might get really hurt.

"Have you worked out the egg?" I asked before he could looked shocked

He shook his head.

"I'd hurry you don't want to get killed in this thing and the Yule Ball isn't going to be a piece of cake either."

Hermione kicked my leg under the table.

"THE WHAT!" Harry and Ron asked.

I looked at Hermione who looked like she wanted to put the Cruciatus Curse on me so I'd shut up.

"Can't say." I mumbled

Hermione smiled, "So are you going to let Malfoy ask you?" she said obviously talking about the Ball still.

I nodded and was thankful the bell rang up at the Castle.

I ran over to Hagrid and handed in my homework at the 5th year level.

"Yer a'right Melody? Gave us all a great scare there missy."

I smiled, I loved how the big guy could talk or write well.

"I'm fantastic Hagrid."

Hagrid's face fell, I followed his gaze.

Draco was lagging behind.

I couldn't help smiling a little at Hagrid's face of concern.

"It's fine." I told him.

He smiled.

"A'right. See ya' fer tea on Saturday?"

"Wouldn't miss it." I said, and then strolled over and up to the castle.

He met me in a little fewer than 2 steps up the slope.

"I'm sorry," he panted. "About last night. If I-I hurt you, again"

I laughed.

"You think I'd be out here if I was still hurt?" when he didn't respond I pressed on. "I actually wanted to talk to you about what you told me."

He turned pink and smiled sheepishly.

"Yea, sorry." he said feebly. "I met it though."

I nodded. "I knew." I said.

"So where do you want to go?" I asked.

He stopped.

I turned.

"You mean it?" he said in a small voice.

I nodded and put out my hand.

He took it and we walked in silence for a bit.

"How about the Three Broomsticks?" he asked finally.

I smiled, "Great, this weekend right?"

He nodded and I smiled.

We ate in quiet at the Slytherin table while Pansy, Milly, Greg and Vinny laughed and chatted.

I eventually got up.

The looked at me completely worried.

I sighed "We've got class you idiots."

They all leapt up and I laughed as the collected their things and we strolled to Transfiguration.
