I Can And I Will

FOUR|YOURE HOME

"Lovis? No shit." Shock and amazement appear on his face. 

"Seems like people know my name better than I do."  I let out a tired laugh.

"Sensitive topic I take." He loses the expressions.

"Not sensitive per se just tired of hearing it." My face drops to the ground and I'm met with veins so noticeable they travel up his arms to be hidden away by his rolled-up sleeves on his white collard shirt.

"Up here, sweetheart." We meet eyes and a grin grows on his face causing me to blush. 

"I'll see you around then beautiful." He says walking past me brushing my shoulder with his leaving me stuck in my place as I try to process what had just occurred.

As his footsteps fade behind me I hear another voice call my name, I look up and am met with Giana's shining smile. 

"I see you met the 6th member of our little group well 7 now with you." She says interlocking arms guiding me down the hallway, "We have Potions first."

"I-I don't even know basic spells," I say nervously.

"Potions is all about following instructions, really you have nothing to worry about and we are each going to take turns in helping you study after classes every day, you'll be an expert in no time with our help." She says settling my nerves. 

Giana swings the door to a classroom open and walks over to the group but I've stopped in my tracks admiring the room seeing the walls of colourful bottles filled with liquids I am yet to meet.

"You right there Sweetheart?" I look up at his beautiful brown eyes as he's staring down at me. 

"It's just so-" He cuts me off. 

"Magical." He smiles at me. 

"I was going to say different but I guess that works too Seb." 

"Oh, she even remembers my name I feel special." 

"Don't get used to it." I roll my eyes. 

I find myself staring into his eyes, and he's staring back smiling as he knows I'm completely fixated on him. 

"Seb!" Dancia shoots from her stool around the table and jumps at him catching her in his arms he spins her around.

"Missed me did ya?" He laughs.

"I'm so sorry about your mother, truly." A sad ambience builds in the room as everyone loud chats have dimmed to whispers, whispers about Seb. 

"Thank you, Dani, but I really just want to get back to school now." He says giving her a reassuring smile. 

The others pull themselves from the table and approach him with warm embraces, the boys performed their handshakes and patted hugs, Gianna is given a tight hug and a kiss on her forehead causing Theo to sigh. 

"Well no need for introductions, you've already met Elora." Giana says with her menacing smile. 

"I have." He side-eyes me, "Any of you seen Malfoy?"

"Turn around you idiot." I look toward the door and enters Draco with his cocky walk and biceps bludging from his shirt that it makes it hard not to get completely lost in them.

"Malfoy!" Seb pulls him in for a handshake and hugs like Blaise and Theo. 

"Sorry to hear about your mother, I think I speak for all of us when I say she was like a mother to us," Draco spoke as the other nod and give him smiles of reassurance. 

"Come on now the class is about to start, come sit with us Elora," Gianna says taking my hand in hers. 

We reach the table and I'm sat next to Gianna I look to my right and see Danica laughing at something Blaise whispered in her ear, and straight ahead is Draco, Draco staring right at me with his cold icy eyes that are melting as they find warmth in mine.
