After about five minutes of crying alone against the tree pitying myself (I tend to do that a lot these days) I heard footsteps coming.
'Tatum?' I softly heard a voice saying.
'What?' I say not looking up because I'm not interested in who the voice belongs to.
'Are you alright?' The voice asks me now.
'Of course I am, that is why I am sitting here alone because I absolutely enjoy this.' I mumble sarcastically, looking up towards the owner of the voice, Malfoy. 'Ugh, go away Malfoy.' I tell him when I see that it is him.
'I didn't tell her.' He says coming closer towards me.
'Of course not, you're the only one that knows apart from Snape who is as upset about it as me bacause he has to adopt me.'
'Wait, Snape is going to adopt you?' Malfoy say surprised.
'Yes, but that is not the point. THe point is that you are the only one that could have told her.' I tell him, on the verge of tears again.
'I didn't, please trust me on that.' He says kneeling down in front of me so that he can meet my eyes.
He softly puts his hand on my chin so I have to look into his eyes.
'Please believe me.' He mutters again.
'Why...What...How does she know otherwise?' I ask, getting distracted by his eyes again.
'I don't know, maybe she was wondering around the castle.' He says, releasing my chin.
'Fine.' I huff, looking down again
'What?' He asks confused.
'I believe you.' I tell him.
He smiles at me and then pulls me in for a hug.
'Thank you.' He whisperes in my ear sending chills down my spine.
When he releases me, I look at him.
'Why do you keep on hugging me? You don't seem the cuddley type.' I ask him, searching his eyes for something.
'I don't know.' He shruggs. 'Maybe I just feel like it around you.'
'Okay...?' I say.
'Now, come on. Let's go back to the castle. Sprout told me you didn't have to go back to the lesson anymore.' He tells me, standing up and holding out his hand for me to take.
'She doesn't mind, then she has a calm lesson for once.' I huff but taking his hand.
He pulls me up but the clumsy person I am, I trip over an imaginary stone and fall forward. Luckly for me, Malfoy catches me just in time but making us very close. His arms ar wrapped around my waist and mine are against his chest. I can feel his toned chest under my finger...Oh god behave youreelf you hormonal teen.
'Are you alright?' Malfoy asks me with a smirk.
'Perfect.' I smile at him before letting go and turning to walk towards the castle. 'Are you coming?'
I'm soo sorry it took me so long to update. I don't have a legit excuse. I do hope you enjoy this chapter! Please review!
