"Are you two in a relationship?" It had been three days since the 'incident' with Draco and I was missing his presence. So I decided to question my friends.
Hannah blushed. Nicole answered. "Yes," she whispered. "How did you know?"
"Obvious to someone who's in love," I stated. I clapped a hand over my mouth as I regretted what I'd said. They were looking at me with faces that had, written all over them, 'who?'
"No-one of significance," I said, sitting up on my bed. Sighing I whispered, "One clue, Death Eater as was."
Nicole looked shocked. "Professor Malfoy?" Hannah, dumbfounded, looked at me like I was a freak. I nodded.
"He bears the Dark Mark!" Hannah hissed at me.
"Not willingly. He didn't want it. He only took it so he wouldn't die. He was scared," I defended him. "Anyways, it's such a turn on." Nicole had widened eyes.
Hannah looked smug, "Even seen it?" I nodded. "Explain."
I told them about lunch three days again, tracing the pattern on my duvet cover as I did. Thankfully they didn't judge me for liking him. They both admitted, as would nearly every girl in the school, that he was hot. Very hot.
I excused myself, realising I needed some air. My palms had begun to get sweaty thinking about Draco, and I needed to cool down.
As I took a long walk around the Black Lake, I began to think of his eyes and mark. I would have to ask him to tell me the story of his life sometime. I'd go and see him tomorrow, after class. I'd stay behind at the end, it was our last one that day.
The evening breeze rippled the Black Lake's surface and I heard the water flow softly over the stones at the water's edge. I felt the wind whisper through my hair, and I shivered at the coldness of the air. Hurriedly, I made my way back to the castle, and yawning, clambered into bed.
