A/N AWWWWWWW. Their soo cute together! Awww... BTW: We are NOT half way done, I expect to be around 35-40 chapters.
Madame Pomfrey told Millie that she was free to go whenever she wished.
"Yay! But, I think I'd like to stay here tonight. Wandering around this place at midnight is a bit creepy, with all the ghosts everywhere." Millie smiled sweetly.
"Excuse me?" Nearly-Headless Nick exclaimed, offended.
"Heh heh, sorry."
Nick harumpfed and went back to floating.
Millie and Madame Pomfrey exchanged looks, then went back to their own business.
In the morning, an alarm woke her up. She couldn't figure out where the alarm had come from, though she knew it meant it was time for her to head back to her dormitory.
She staggered tiredly over to the curtain and pulled it back. Standing there was Draco Malfoy.
Seeing him startled her so much that she tripped over her own feet and fell forward.
Draco caught her. With his lips.
He and Millie stared at each other for a moment, their lips still connected, with wide eyes. Eventually they pulled apart, slowly and awkwardly.
"Uhm..." Millie started, not daring to look in his eyes.
"So..." Draco said through clenched teeth.
"That wasn't -" They both said. Draco's hand flew up to the back of his neck.
"Heh, you go." He said, embarrassed.
"No...you can. It's ok..." Millie said slowly, matching his uncomfort.
"Uh. Ok." He said. "Well...That wasn't a kiss. That was an...accident."
"Yeah. No...no big deal."
"Heh...um..." Draco began. "So...you're..free!"
"Yeah! I am..." But she still averted her eyes. There was still an unpleasent air between them.
Draco refrained from looking at her as well.
"Just so you know..." He said, trying to get rid of the tension but actually making it more tense. "Just so you know, I didn't like tha at all!"
"Heh, yeah. Me neither!" They were both trying to seem confident and not at all awkward, but failing miserably.
"It was like kissing a...a...a fish!" Draco said.
"Yeah! Or a foot!"
There was silence.
"So...uh...I'd better get going than." Millie said finally.
"Yeah...Well, see you later then." Draco tried to smile, but it came out as a confused smirk.
Millie waved and walked away.
Draco sank down against the wall, silently cursing himself.
He had not handled that well at ALL. He should have stood farther back! Or, caught her with his ARMS! It was not as if he liked Millie that way, though he thought that this, erm, incident could harm their friendship. His only friendship.
He put his head in his hands and soundlessly chastised himself, feeling like a fool.
Millie plopped into a chair in the common room, which was inhabited by few people at the early hour, and sighed.
She didn't like Draco Malfoy. Not anymore than a friend. Hopefully that was how he felt towards her. It's not like he had kissed her on purpose.
What if things were awkward, as they had been today, forever! Forever is a long time, Millie, she reminded herself.
She needed to talk to someone.
Millie ran up the staircase to the boy's dormitory and shook Harry awake.
He yanked the blanket up to his chin. "Bloody hell!" He whisper-yelled.
"Get dressed and come with me!" She ordered.
Five minutes later, Harry had emerged from the dormitory and they began to walk along the grounds of the castle.
"So, whats wrong?" Harry asked.
"We...kissed." Millie admitted, feeling sheepish.
"Yeah, I know." Harry smiled at the memory, though it vanished within a second. "Is that bad?"
"Not you and me," she said, smacking him playfully on the arm.
Harry's eyebrows creased with a mix of confusion and anger. "Who then?" He accused.
"Draco." She said extremely quietly.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Malfoy."
"WHAT!" Harry seethed. What, he thought, She kissed me! Is she a...a...a SLUT?
"It wasn't on purpose!" Millie yelled out, seeming fearful!
"How do you kiss someone by accident!" Millie suddenly thought that Harry wasn't the best person to confide in at the moment.
"I fell! And...Into his lips." Millie smiled sheepishly while Harry fumed.
"Don't be mad...Don't be mad!" Millie said hopefully.
"I'm not mad..." Harry was mad. Not at Millie, it wasn't her fault. It was all the Malfot prat's fault.
"Let's..lets not talk about this anymore." Harry suggested. Students were starting to file in the corridors.
Millie sighed, but nodded.
Harry sucked in quickly. Millie turned to see what had caused this, and saw none other than Malfoy.
He walked straight towards them, obviously side-tracked. When he caught sight of Millie and Harry, he tried to change course, but it was too late. Harry did the expelliramus curse on him, and Draco, who had been holding his books in one hand and his belt loop in the other watched his possessions scatter.
The most amusing part for Harry, however, was watching Malfoy struggle to acquire his lost items with his pants at his ankle.
Mille shot him a half-entertained, half-disapproving look.
Draco, who had gone red-faced, stalked past them and purposely bumped into Harry.
"I know you did it, Pothead." He sneered at Harry than gave Millie an uncomfortable glance.
"He doesn't seem to be taking it any better than you," Harry said, between laughs.
"You didn't have to do that, you know." Millie said, a bit disappointed in him. She chased after Draco.
Harry was a bit guilty, not too much though, for he knew Millie would forgive him. Plus, it was worth it seeing Malfoy embarrassed. After what he did to his...
Was it safe to call Millie his girlfriend? They had kissed...But Cho wasn't his girlfriend, she was more of a slobbery blubber-butt.
Anyway...Harry didn't know what to think.
Millie had caught up to Malfoy, who never ran, just walked quite swiftly, in a short ammount of time.
"Draco, Draco!" She called out his name, and grabbed his shoulder, forcing him to turn.
"Look, I'm sorry, Harry was being a jerk." She said thoughtfully.
"It's ok...I'm used to it." Draco was still embarrassed and awkward, though.
"He's just jealous." Millie stated angrily, though she wasn't really angry at Harry. hA! i KNEW IT! bAHAHAHA! HARRY GET OUT OF HERE! sORRY. :'(
"Jealous?" Draco asked, trying to sound confused, though knowing the answer and dreading hearing it from Millie.
"Because..." Millie wished she hadn't said that. She didn't mind telling Draco that she had informed Harry of their little fiasco earlier in the day.
"Because you told him." Draco sighed.
"It happened to me too! I'm allowed to tell people these sort of things."
The mention of their "little fiasco" caused them both to go red in the face.
"But why would that make him jealous..." Draco began catching on. "Just angry, is all..."
"Well...the night before..." Things were geting more and more maladroit for Millie, she really didn't like discussing her love life with Draco, no matter how close they were. It was, just as everything else this day has been, awkward.
"Oh." Draco said, finally understanding. "Ooh."
"Yeah." Millie said. "Well, anyway...Sorry about Harry...I gotta go."
She went to go find Harry and they walked back to the Great Hall together.
Not even a see ya, Draco thought.
Jeez, Millie's getting more action than GINNY. This chap was a lot longer than the others, sorry. Or if you like that, your welcome! Anywho, hoped you liked it, this was more a peak into Millie's personal life, and Draco's CONFLICTIONG EMOTIONS. Dun dun DUN! Drama.
