Touch Starved

Love Struck

You and George sat there for a long while, talking about school and all the people you missed. Soon the kitchen filled, Draco included. You and George embraced as you stood. Walking into the house, George held his wife close once he got to her sipping from the coffee cup she held. Draco smiled at you.

"I don't have to worry about George Weasley now to do I? Isn't Neville Longbottom enough?" You shook your head at him, laughing at him.

"What about Neville?" Ron asked as he walked by caching the final parts of your conversation.

"Oh.. uh" you started speaking

"Neville is in love with her, when I found her at the party he was all over her" Draco explained, jealousy was somewhere in that voice of his.

"You and Neville Longbottom? When?" Ron asked, grabbing some toast from the counter.

"Nothing happened...." You shoved Draco a little. You'd have to have a chat about this later. "Neville and I were close when we were younger, when my dad got sick Neville told me he liked me."

"Loved her" Draco corrected. You scowled at him.

"Yes... loved me... but when I told him no.. he wasn't happy. He stopped talking to me entirely... and the thing at the party. I just think he was drunk" you shrugged

"What happened at the party?" George asked, holding onto his wife.

"Well, he found me on that balcony behind the great hall. I needed some air"

"He was nearly snogging her when I came up the stairs" Draco interjected again. He started to annoy you a little.

"Jealous?" You turned to him, were you about to have a fight in the middle of the kitchen?

"Yes" he looked you blankly in the eye. Which caught by surprise, you never imagined he would be so open about it. "I will deal with you later..." you whispered to him.

You sighed, returning your attention to your friends "he told me he still loved me, which I said was mad because we had barely spoken since 5th year. And I'm not at all that person"

"And then?" Ron asked, you felt like you were gossiping and in a way you were.

"He asked if he could kiss me." You didn't mention that for some reason, you couldn't say no.

"That's insane! I wonder what was going through his head? You're clearly head over heels for Draco. We could all see if the second you walked into the hall" Ron droned on. Were you that painfully obvious? Apparently, you were because every head in the room nodded.

"Yup, straight love-struck" George nodded.

"You guys suck," you said, sitting down with a huff in a chair.

"Aye it's not just you y/n, Draco looks at you like he would take a cruciatus curse for you at any moment. But also like he wants to eat you at the same time. It's odd" George laughed and was shortly joined but the rest of the room. Draco cleared his throat. At least you weren't alone in this embarrassment.

"Anyway!" Ron said, saving you from that long moment. "Ginny should be here shortly with mum and dad. And we're all going shopping."

Shopping with the entire Weasley gang? This was going to be something else.
