Unexpectedly Expected
Chapter 5
Fluffy
After almost an hour of degunking myself, I finally was presentable enough for potions. The hallways were pretty much empty, save a few rebellious students who were skipping and the poor first years who got sent outside for poor conduct. Clearly not wanting to associate with these few, I walked diligently to class, until…..
"Psh! Hey Granger!...Hey" cried a whisper behind a stair case. Slowly and with caution I sauntered over to the voice, only to stop and turn around to walk away.
"No wait! Granger!" HE yelled in a whispery voice while grabbing my arm. ( Help me!)
"Don't! DON'T EVER touch me again Malfoy!" yanking my arm away and trying (note: TRYING!) to walk away.
"Fine. I won't touch you! I promise!" he said while jogging ahead to block me off. "Please, just hear me out….Please." His soft voice startled me, jerking my head up, my eyes met his, for once, emotion filled eyes.
Sighing, I calmed down and lowered my shoulder, relaxing. ( Huh… He is really trying to be civil.) "I'm listening" I said, my foot tapping softly to show that he needs to hurry. (I actually do want to get to class at some point before the end of it!)
"I'm sorry for hurting you the other day…..I may have some…..anger problems." The last part was mumbled, I guess my shock showed after he apologized. He dropped his head and shifted his weight from either leg.
Realizing that I was just standing there, staring, I straightened my robes and walked off, not forgetting to whisper an "I forgive you" while passing him. (Well this has been an eventful day, I got spiked with the most annoying potion EVER and Malfoy is having melt down. Great, right?)
After Lunch
"So that rat apologized for touching you? Blimey Mione, he must be seriously messed up in the head right now."
"That's what I was thinking, but I'm not so sure he is head sick or not. He seemed sincere."
"Well, he is a Malfoy so who even knows if he's not planning some plot, and he's not just throwing you off."
"Well that's highly possible to…..I don't know." Ron stopped walking, and grabbed both of my shoulders, making me face him.
"Hey. Let's just forget it, I don't want you worrying yourself silly over whether or not Malfoy is trying to get your defenses down. What happens happens and we'll figure out a way out when the time comes."
Snaking my arms around his neck, he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer.
"Like always?" I whispered, staring straight into his eyes.
"Like always." He replied, grinning like a Cheshire cat, making the sides of my mouth pull up as well.
"I love it when you smile" He whispered while giving my nose a short peck, making my nose crinkle up, as a short giggle leaves my lips. Looking up my eyes meet his, and the distance between up slowly closes as my lips meet his. It wasn't some nasty lets wash our faces together kiss. It was a sweet, wonderful kiss. Lost in the moment, we just stood there, in the middle of the walk way right outside the school, everyone watching.
"Wow…that sure is a long kiss!" wailed a young voice right next to us. Startled we pulled apart and looked down to see a little first year boy staring at us with big, shocked eyes. Unable to stop, I giggle helplessly, Ron laughed a bit too. The little boy soon went on his way, and me and Ron resumed our walk.
A feeling of being watched soon consumed me, and I looked around trying to see who it was. Well over by a shady tree, stood a tall boy with bright blonde hair, eyes locked with mine. Shocked I quickly faced forward and forgot all about the boy by the tree, even though the being watched feeling still persisted.
