January 6, 1997
Her lips were chapped. Fingers were cold. Throat was dry. Toes were curled. She felt cold. Sitting beside him made her feel safe yet......scared.
He was quiet. Way too quiet. He was thinking. But she didn't know what. Occasionally they would scoot closer for warmth. Malfoy sighed and decided to break the silence.
"Nice day, huh?"
She looked at him weirdly. "It's below freezing and we're sitting on at least 13cm of snow. It is no where near a 'nice day'". Malfoy chuckled.
"You really know how to ruin the moment" he whispered. Malfoy stared at the frozen lake and tilted his head. "You aren't really ..... scared of me, Brooks, are you?" She froze.
They were going straight into the conversation, huh. She played with the string on her sweater. She didn't know what to tell him. Because truth is....at times she was scared of him. Scared of what he might do if she did or even said something wrong.
She thought that even the smallest mistake can trigger Malfoy to doing something to her.
"I hope you aren't" Malfoy starts. He heaved a deep breath and drops his shoulders. He looks at her with a big frown and sighs. "I don't want you to be scared of me, Brooks. I'm just an ordinary guy. I know I wasn't raised under the greatest people but....I know that I'm better than them. Than....him." She raised an eyebrow.
"My father. He isn't the best role model to grow up with. I try, you know. I really do. I'm trying to be better. I want to be better. At least for you. You somehow push me to be better and when fucking Scamander said that you're scared of me- I- I didn't know how to feel"
She frowned. Malfoy seemed genuinely upset. She didn't know that he felt this way. What Christian said was hurtful and...true but Malfoy wasn't the one to take things seriously...or was he?
Malfoy pulled his knees into his chest and stared up at the sky. She sighed. "Malfoy. I- I'm not scared of you. I just need you to open up sometimes. I barely know anything about you. Other than that you're a spoiled white kid. I want to know more about you. I want you to tell me everything."
She placed a hand on his knee and he looked up at her. He scoffed sadly with a smile and cupped her cheek. "Why are you so nice to me? For six years. I've been nothing but horrible to you."
"I like you. Nothing else matters to me. I know that you're trying and I see it. You want to be better and I will be here and I will help you get through it" she pecked his lips and nuzzled her cheek into his hand.
Malfoy smiled softly. "I can never understand you" he leaned in and placed his lips on her, tugging at her lips. She groaned and pulled his collar. Malfoy smirked and tiptoed his fingers under her skirt. "You feel nice".
She sighed when she felt Malfoy rubs circles on her inner thighs. Her lips were wet and covered with Malfoy's. Every time they kissed, it was like the first time for her. She still got the same butterflies.
He carried her into his lap and held her by her hips. Her hands wrapped around his neck and messed with his hair. She always loved that feeling.
"You two must have fucked to be kissing like this"
The two broke the kiss and looked up at the voice. She was still on his lap, hands wrapped around his head. With his hands still digging into her hips.
It was Nott.
"Come on, mate. I was in the middle of something" Malfoy mumbled, biting her neck. She chuckled and tilted her head the other way. Nott sticked his tongue out and gagged. "Wanna leave?"
Nott held his hand up. "No I don't want to leave. You two can continue though. The way you two kiss is just something else. It's like you wanna just straight to the bedroom but something is holding you back".
Malfoy through his head back with closed eyes. He was frustrated. "Theodore, what are you trying to say?"
"Just make babies already"
She chocked on her spit and started coughing. Nott laughed. She slid off Malfoy's lap when his grip loosened. She wiped her mouth and stood up, patting her skirt. "Nott just shut the fuck up".
Nott pouted and pulled her into a hug roughly, ruffling her hair. She groaned and tried to pry him off but he just held her tighter. Malfoy giggled and stood up. When Nott leg go of her, she bunched up snow and threw straight into his face. Nott stumbled back, hissing.
Malfoy died of laughter. She hid behind him and ducked when Nott threw two balls of snow. When she opened her eyes and walked around, Malfoy's face was covered in snow and he held a very pissed expression. Nott whimpered and started to run.
She ran after him while Malfoy ran after the both of them. "NOTT!!" She yelled. Malfoy was really close behind. Right when he was about to grab her, she turned right and Malfoy fell on top of Nott.
Nott giggled like a girl and fanned his face. "Ouu hello, Draco. I've been waiting for this day. You on top of me. I accept" he puckered his lips and closed his eyes. Malfoy jerked his head back and slapped a bunch of snow onto Nott's face.
She giggled. Malfoy swiftly turned to her and got up. Her laughter stopped and her legs started moving as fast as they could. Malfoy was sprinting across the yard. She squealed and continued to run but Malfoy's legs were longer.
He caught up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. Malfoy lifted her up and swung her around. She chuckled with a big smile. Malfoy grinned, proudly.
She gently elbowed his chest when she caught Nott getting up. Malfoy winced and dropped her to her feet. She immediately got out of his grip and ran, not realizing where she was heading. Everything was white.
Nott laughed when Malfoy threw a snowball at his shoulder but his smile dropped when it landed on her. "Brooks! Get out of there" he yelled running towards her. Malfoy shot a glance at her and his eyes widened. She furrowed.
When they both started running, she glanced down and her breath hitched. "Brooks, don't move" Malfoy yelled in panic. Her breaths were quick and fast. She was scared. Nott raked his hair and wet his lips.
"Hang on there, Brooks"
Just as she took a step....
