Always Have Always Will--Draco Malfoy

Secrets

It was two days before school started again. Draco and I had been enjoying the last days of the winter holiday. Sleeping in, reading together by the fire, it was perfect. We still hadn't talked about Christmas. Why he came to my room, what he was upset about. I had tried to bring it up but he always shrugged it off. I decided to let him enjoy the next two days, before I made him tell me.

    He was quite sweet actually. He would hold my hand under the table during meals, walk up behind me and hug me, and tuck the hair out of my face. Our new relationship consisted mostly of happy moments. I was happy, but I was worried. I hadn't told him that I loved him in the past, or that when we stopped being friends I spent months pining for him. I especially hadn't told him that I had a journal filled with letters to him. I did want to tell him, I just wasn't sure he'd understand. He might think I was weird. I probably was. Most girls don't obsess over boys who don't like them. At least I didn't think they did.

    I looked up from my book as Draco entered the common room. Not saying a word he made his way over to where I was curled up on the sofa. He was smiling at me but his eyes were sad, it was like this most of the time. Instead of sitting next to me he lifted my legs and set them on his lap. I loved these tiny affectionate gestures. I could almost feel my past self screaming, so excited that the boy she loved returned her feelings. I continued to read my book and he read his. Every now and then I would look up. Sometimes I would even catch him looking back at me.
