Olivia

I was in the library when Draco found me. It had been a week and I still hadn't seen him and I was starting to wonder if he had even come back. It was really worrying but I had no time for worrying after the documentary so I put it into the back of my head for later.

Of course I didn't know it was him at first. I didn't even know I wasn't alone until arms wrapped around my waist and he burrowed his face in my neck. It probably would have been creepy if I didn't recognize him immediately. I knew Draco better than the back of my hand.

"You're almost as famous as me now." Draco laughed in my ear, kissing the crook of my neck. "I arrived expecting boredom but received you on a screen instead. It was quite shocking."

"Oh, I could never be as famous as you." I joked, turning in his arms so that I faced him. "You're the biggest asshole I know."

"Do I get a gold star?" He pouted, pulling me even closer.

"Only if I get an apology." I pouted back.

"I'm sorry, Olivia." He said, serious for once. "I shouldn't have exploded on you like that, I wasn't thinking. I just...have my doubts, you know? I never thought I would have someone like you." He smiled softly. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm not just saying that to be romantic."

"Not romantic at all." I laughed, leaning in and kissing him. He was warm and tasted like mint and I realized how much I missed him. I never wanted to be away from him again.

"I have a surprise for you. I was thinking a lot about your rules and I came up with one myself. I think it'll solve some issues." Draco said excitedly, pulling away.

He slipped his hand into mine and pulled me out of the library. I didn't know where we were going and didn't care. Anywhere with Draco was fine by me.

"Hi." Draco said awkwardly as the entire Great Hall stared at him. I stood behind him, wringing my hands together and wondering if this was even a good idea. Harry Potter stared back at Draco as if he was an alien and I hoped that his help on the documentary would ease his mind just a bit.

"Hi?" Harry replied. Everyone around him seemed to have their wands out except for him and I really hoped this didn't turn into a death match.

"Um, this probably doesn't mean much to you and is really overdue, but I'm sorry. About everything. There's really no way I can make up for all the shitty things I've done but I just wanted you to know that I am truly sorry. And to you too." Draco said, looking at the Golden Trio with so much sincerity in his eyes that some people even gasped in shock. I couldn't stop a small smile from spreading across my face.

"Thanks, Draco." Harry nodded, putting out his hand. They shook hands and it was like a spell had been cast. The entire Great Hall was in an uproar. Archnemesis make up after seven years of throat to throat fighting? It was preposterous!

Draco smiled at the Gryffindors before taking my hand and walking out the hall altogether. We left behind the ruckus and it was like taking a breath of fresh air.

"How do you feel?" I asked, as our footsteps echoed through the empty corridor.

"Like a villain that just might turn out OK."
