Accidentally Loving Malfoy

Chapter 5

A/N: I am SOOOO sorry for not updating lately it's been quite hectic. I haven't been in the right headspace for writing and didn't have the motivation. however i'm going to try to update a few times within these two weeks of Christmas break that i have!
enjoy!

It's been twenty minutes of pure laughter as Draco and I sit on the counter top in the large kitchen.
Draco's drinking some strong alcohol straight out of the bottle. I don't drink so I stick with a soda can I found in the corner of the room.
"Are you sure you don't want any?" Draco asks, holding on the bottle. He raises one eyebrow, then the other and I laugh.
" Draco Lucius Malfoy, I swear to god if you offer me that again I'm going to leave!" I scold him, still laughing.
Draco just laughs at me and takes another swig. "Your loss," he states.
I snicker as i joke, "Well someone's gonna have to drag your drunk ass back to the common room!"
"Yeah, yeah," Draco dismisses my statement, nudging me.
Draco puts the bottle down on the counter and disappears around a corner, returning with a large bowl of popcorn. When he places it on the counter, I immediately grab a handful, tossing a few
pieces in my mouth.
Draco does the same and says, matter-of-factly, "I believe it's time for me to beat you, once again, in our annual competition."
I hop off the counter, raising my eyebrows. "Excuse me, but if I'm remembering correctly, which I am, I won last year, not you!"
Smirking, Draco responds, "Sure, Sales."
I toss a piece of popcorn up into the air, catching it perfectly in my mouth. Draco tries, yet it bounces off the end of his nose, tumbling to the ground.
"Ha!" I shout, victorious. "I told you. I am the champion!"
I see Draco smirk as he grabs a handful of popcorn and says, "Yeah, we'll see about that!"
Draco throws his handful of popcorn at me, causing me to squeal and run to the other side of the counter, trying to avoid the flying popcorn.
"Draco!" I shriek, ducking down behind the counter, laughing. "Your making a mess!"
Draco just laughs and throws more at me as I peak up at him.
Suddenly, Draco goes silent. I'm still laughing oblivious to why he's stopped.
"About time you—"
"Shhhh!" Draco hisses.
Confused, I stand up to see what's going on and to my horror, I see Mrs. Norris, Filch's bloody cat, sitting several feet away from Draco, looking at him.
Draco and I look at each other, thinking the same thing; wherever that cat is, Filch is.
"Shit!" I hear Draco whisper. "What now?"
Then we hear him. Filch sounds as if he's just outside in the corridor. "Mrs. Norris, what is it? Who'd you find?"
Thinking fast, I motion for Draco to come to the side of the counter that I'm on. He moves over to me and we crouch down, hidden under the counter.
"Be as quiet as possible," I say under my breath.
We can hear Filch stomp into the kitchen and he scoops up the cat and starts walking around the counter.
I'm trying to think of a way out of this when Draco says under his breath, just loud enough for me to barely hear him, "On three, we run."
I nod to show that I've heard him as he starts the countdown.
"Three."
I feel Draco grab my hand and I squeeze his.
"Two."
I see that Draco's watching me out of the corner of my eye but I'm looking ahead, focused on forming our escape route.
"ONE!"
Draco and I spring forward and sprint, hand in hand towards the door just as Filch reaches the spot where he would have found us.
I start laughing as we reach the door and hear Filch shout after us, "Hey! You two, stop!"
But we don't stop and we run all the way back to the Slytherin dungeons, still hand in hand, laughing. Only when we reach the portrait portal we stop and catch our breath.
I mutter the password, " Parcel-tongue," and we enter the common room, still hand in hand and still laughing.
We find Pansy, Blaise, Cassius, and Millicent all sitting on the couches in the common room and they look up at us.
I drop Draco's hand and walk over to the couches, plopping down in between Pansy and Cassius while Draco sits beside Blaise.
"So," Blaise asks. "Where did you guys go?"
Immediately, Draco and I say at the same time, "Nowhere!"
This earns us a suspicious look from Pansy and Blaise and everyone else for that matter.
Suddenly, exhaustion hits me like a bus and I look over at Pansy, saying, "I'm exhausted so I'm heading to bed. Come with?"
She nods and we stand up as Millie asks, "Mind if I come up, too?"
We smile at her and Pansy says, "Not at all."
As the three of us are heading towards the girls dorms, we hear the boys snigger and call after us, all at the same time, "Goodnight ladies!"
We all look at each other but we don't look back as we call, "Goodnight boys!"
