The Mirror Shows Me You (Draco Malfoy)

7- So maybe its a date

"Will you hurry your arse up?" Ron bellowed down the corridor.

My mind was fuzzy. All I could think about was him.

Ron grabbed my by the shoulders, my mind snapped back to attention. "Ok so what's your plan to get away if you need to?"

What? "Get away?" My shoulders shimmied and Ron's hands fell.

"Yeah like if Malfoy asked you as a prank."

Shit. I didn't even think about that. I mean it would make sense, I highly doubt Draco would want to spend another second with me than he has to.

"Hello? Anybody up there?" Ron's finger flicked my forehead.

"Yeah sorry," my hand brushed over my face, "I just didn't even think of that, it being a joke an all."

"It's okay, I'm sure it'll all be great, you spend some quality time with a douche and then get us a round of butter beer with his money." Ron smiled.

"A round or two, you mean." I played along with him, trying not to think about the load of embarrassment I'd feel if I got lied to by Draco.

Students murmured from the hall. Ron perked up, "Okay, okay time for you to go! Ta ta Mz.Malfoy have fun on your not date!" With that he ran to find our friends and I was left alone.

I hadn't even realized he'd called me Malfoy's spouse. I cringed at the idea.

Hogsmeade was glowing. Little lights hung between lamp poles and happy people walked down streets. Vintage looking shops lined a long and curvy path.

I was still alone. Everyone's faces started blurring together. There were too many people, too many loud people. My mind started to go fuzzy again, this time with a lack of Draco. People's shouts turned into loud echos and I could feel my cheeks start to burn up. My head felt like it would implode.

"You okay kid?" A man I didn't recognize brought his face down towards mine.

I cant take it anymore. I hardly felt my feet touch the pavement as I ran to a musty looking alley. I caught my breath near a bin and my vision started to refocus. I was really alone now.

"You're late."

A familiar voice rang out from behind me. I whipped around on my heel to see Draco, now in his lounge clothes.

"Dammit Malfoy you startled me." My hand covered my pounding chest, "my hearts beating at a mile per minute."

Malfoy chuckled, "Yeah I tend to do that to people."

Was that a joke? Had Draco really made a joke?

"Now hurry up, I was serious about you being late." Malfoy started walking down the alley the opposite way I had come in. "I know my way around here pretty well so I can get us somewhere where I can't be seen with you."

"Gee thanks Malfoy." I skipped a few steps to catch up to him.

I know Draco said this was going to be private so he wasn't seen with me, but something in the back of my mind hoped it would be private so he could ONLY see me.

"Hello? Earth to Y/L/N." Draco snapped his fingers to grab my attention. "We're going this way."

He led me down a cramped and dirty path between two cramped and dirty buildings. My shoulder brushed against the grime but Draco seemed to keep his distance from the muck.

"Gods! Are you taking me to Narnia or something?" Draco stopped walking, I hadn't realized and slammed into his shoulder.

"Now what the hell is a Narnia?" Draco glared at me with a puzzled expression.

Shit. Wrong English book series.

Before long we reached a light at the end of the tunnel, or I guess, alley.

"Perfect, there's no one here." Draco seemed proud, but then again when wasn't he filled with his own self pride.

My eyes, adjusting to the light, slowly scanned the opening. A small bench sat near a snow drift. The clearing was surrounded by tall trees, a few red birds sitting on their branches. There was a lonesome lamp post, slightly bent from the wind and covered in moss.

"Wow." I stumbled out the word. "This is honestly..." I paused. "Cute?"

Draco scoffed. "Cute? I take you to an old rusted bench in the middle of no where and the only word you think of is cute."

"I could of said it was horrendously dull and called you an idiot, but I didn't, did I?" I crossed my arms against my chest and stared at Draco. His face gave a hint of a smile.

"Watch that slick tongue of yours Y/N," Draco scoffed. "They might throw you in Slytherin."
