Eternity ~ Draco Malfoy x tvd

S I X T E E N

It had been a just over a week since the accident with the Ravenclaw girl. Neither one of my parents got back to me, I didn't even know if they reserved the letter.

I did my usual of getting ready to head over the first lesson. I have been trying my best to avoid Draco recently after everything that happened. I couldn't tell if it was because I was embarrassed or scared I would hurt him. We would occasionally lock eyes and trade faint smiles to one another and sometimes talk. 

First lesson was herbology, I didn't intend to be early but I seemed to be one of the first ones there, Neville was standing in the far corner examining a purple plant, Hermione was standing behind him reading a thick green book. Professor Sprout greeted me as I walked in, I didn't decide to walk over to Neville and Hermione since we hadn't spoken properly since the first train ride to Hogwarts, it felt like such a long time ago now.

The room started to get more crowded as the class slowly walked in.

"Morning, Mikeaslon."

I slowly looked up to see Blaise smiling down at me. "Morning."

"Have you heard about the news?" He questioned while scratching the back of his head.

The only news I knew about was that Harry Potter got caught teaching magic in the room of requirements but I'm sure Blaise wouldn't be interested in them.

"I want to know, too." A familiar voice interrupted my thoughts, I turn my head to see Pansy standing next to me with a grin on her face.

"Im not surprised." Blaise blurted out.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Pansy spoke with little to no energy.

"You always want to know the news, even if it doesn't include you. That is what I mean." Blaise let out a small laugh as I stand there awkwardly.

"Just tell us, for merlin sake." Pansy spat, as I stood there awkwardly.

"Well-" Blaise started to speak but the herbology door swung open, Argus Filch stood there holding his cat, Mrs Norris in his right hand, he scrunched up his face before letting out a huff. "Everyone must head to the great hall, imminently." His croaky voice over powered everyone as we all stood there in silence.

"Right then, ok. Off you go." Professor Sprout demanded while putting down a broken plant pot.

Everyone obeyed and headed out the class, there was murmur's and rumours spreading around Hogwarts. Some people were saying that you-know-who was at the castle, some others said another troll was let loose again, Pansy assumed that someone died but I'm sure that wasn't the case.

The time we arrived at the great hall the room was silent, it reminded me of the day I first fed on a human, my mother was gobsmacked, staring at me in shock. My father was grinning next to her trying not to laugh. The rest of the day neither one of my parents spoke to each other, it was pure silence.

As we sat down at the Slytherin table I noticed a particular person wasn't here. Blaise was sitting opposite me with Pansy on his right, Goyle was sitting the right of me but leaving a space between us to where Draco normally sat.

I scanned my eyes around the great hall but there was no sign of the beloved blonde head.

A small winey chuckle came from the front of the hall making everyone turn there heads and stare at professor Umbridge dressed in her usual pink outfit. "Some of you may be aware of why I called you in her." She let out another winey chuckle.

I heard a small groan as someone sat down besides me, Draco gave me a tiny smile and whispered in my ear gently. "I woke up late. Why are we in here?" His warm breath made a shiver go down my spine, I shrug my shoulders and turn back around to Umbridge.
