My mahogany eyes met his and I took a sharp intake of breath. I'm sure I felt my heart skip a beat or two.
"What the-," I started.
"Shh," he cut me off.
"Draco, what the hell are you doing?" I whispered sharply.
"I had to see you,"
"Why?"
"Because I miss you,"
"Whoah. No. Stop right there. Not even 24 hours ago you said we can't be friends anymore and you didn't want to speak to me ever again, why the sudden change of heart," I said. I was so confused and angry at him.
"That wasn't me," I gave him a sarcastic look. "I mean, it was me, obviously, physically it was me, but mentally, inside,"
"Shutup," I said.
"Excuse me," he said, a confused and hurt look growing on his face.
"You're babbling," I replied simply.
"I know," he said, looking down.
"You look tired," I told him. I studied his face silently, the truth was, he looked exhausted. His eyes were weighed down with heavy bags and if I wasn't mistaken there was old tear tracks running down from his eyes, down his cheeks and ending at his sharp jaw line. He had been crying? Draco Malfoy never cried, never ever.
"I am," he broke the silence.
"Tell me what's wrong," I brought my hand up and stroked his hair out of his grey eyes lightly. He looked at me and a shiver ran down my spine.
"I wish I could," he muttered, barely audible. Tears were starting to build up again.
"Dra-,"
"DRAKIEEEE!" came the shrill cry of her. Pansy Parkinson. Draco sighed heavily and turned to go.
"Draco, please," I started.
"Meet me in the room of requirement tomorrow at 10pm. Make sure you are alone and that noone follows you," he said.
"Of course, but why?" I questioned, still in our hushed voices.
"I'm going to tell you everything, I promise," he cracked a small, reassuring smile. Pansy's footsteps were getting louder and closer with each second. I started to turn to head back to the Gryffindor common room when I felt Draco's hand on mine. He turned me round and kissed me on the cheek before hurrying off and meeting Pansy. My face flushed with heat and I nearly fell over. A huge grin grew on my face and stayed until I reached the common room.
"Mione! Thank goodness! Where have you been?," came the voice of Ginny, although she was my best friend she really could be annoying sometimes.
"Oh, nowhere. Just went to get some air," I lied as I walked away, not giving her any eye contact. I wasn't going to tell her about what had happened. This was my special moment.
I know!
Another really small chapter - I'm sorry, but I'm finding it easier to write small chapters, so yeah. :)
Hope you enjoy this one! Quite enjoyed writing it.
As always, reviews are much appreciated.
