Not A Lover

5

  Devyn Shadows

I could feel the coldness over come my body by the minute causing me to peel my eyes open. The green satin couch I was sleeping on belonged to the Slytherin common room, and was where I was going to sleep until Draco Malfoy could learn to not be a pain. Everywhere my eyes went the color green splashed out at me.

In attempt to keep me warm my legs formed small goosebumps on them, making me curl up into a small cocoon in hopes to get some rest. As the time went by my toes turned red, like the leaves in the fall, soon followed by the chattering of my teeth. That was so loud it could be mistaken for a drum.

My feet carefully stepped off of the satin couch with my body soon following, leaving an dent from where I have been laying. My tiny feet silently tip toed up the stairs to the room the Draco and I shared. I needed another blanket, and I was on a suicide mission to get one.

My icy cold hand reached out for the doorknob, slowing turning it in attempt to not be caught. The big oak door silently creeped open leaving a tiny crack for my to slip in the darkness. My feet walked into the room as silently as I was able to, hoping the wood Floors would not creek.

My eyes scattered the room looking for a spare blanket hoping Draco did take all of them. My eyes are like binoculars throughout the room until they stop on a green quilt placed on a stool at the corner of the nightstand. I quickly make a beeline to the blanket, so I could make a quick escape.

My fingertip finally meet the fabric of the warm quilt, soon to scoop it up like a baby to take back to the common room.

Through the window a reflection of the moonlight lands on Draco leaving him naturally lit up by the moonlight, causing all of his masculine feature to become more prominent and visible. His light platinum hair was now scattered across his face in a messy formation leaving the rest of his face with a calm edge to it. His face was relaxed with out a single scowl in it leaving him looking subtle.

He looks so peaceful when he sleeps. By the looks of it you would never know the evil he possessed.

My eyes never wanted to leave this sight of him, but I had  go back to the common room to get some sleep before tomorrows studies. In attempt to not wake him. My feet find the already used path and follow it out of the room and back to the satin couch. My eye slowing shut trying to relive my amazing day At Hogesmead with Fred.

"I cannot believe that you and Malfoy got matched, you both are complete opposites"

"Yea tell me about it, my whole life I have been dreaming about a prince to come a sweep me up, but I looks like I am stuck with just a Malfoy."  Fred  and I where in indulging in two giant butter beers laughing at each other's failure and trying to make sense of life.

After him buying me my latest Read, I figured a butter beer was the least I could do to repay the favor.

" So what about you who are you matched with." Curious to know who got the honor the be with this kind gentleman.

" Well darling I don't have a match, Mr Fred flys free and is willing to help all damsels in distress." He said in the most adult voice ever, making me hunch over and let out a loud laugh.

The whole bar goes silent and turned to my and Fred dying of laughter in the corner. Turning our faces bright red of embarrassment. With the exit door to the right of our table we made a run for it in attempt to make a swift leave from the bar.

After we make our famous escape, The Weasleys joke shop was our next stop since Fred had some things to drop off.

The inside of the shop was beautiful, on each shelf there are stacks on stacks of products making it eye candy to anyone.

"It's beautiful isn't it" Fred says as if this is the one thing keeping him alive.

"It gorgeous how are you able to have this." I say while being mesmerized by the Weasley masterpiece.

" My life savings along with George's, it wasn't easy though, mum says she is the proudest person in the world."

" I bet she is, this place is gorgeous." I say while making my way over to a pink platform with a sign that says "love potion" on it.

" Oy darling I doubt the love potion would be strong enough for Malfoy."

" I stifle a laugh, Thank you Fred, this is the most fun I have had in awhile." And it really was, this day was the perfect getaway from Draco and all the trouble he brought. Fred was most definitely the loveliest person I have met in a long time, he definitely held a special place in my heart.

"When will I get to see you again?" I was most definitely curious when I would get to meet my new friend.

"Whenever you want dear, just stop by the shop whenever Malfoy does something stupid, Me and George will be sure to take care of him."

I could feel sunshine fill my body with a tingly warmness slowly making my eyes peel open to face the beautiful sunrise through the common room window. The sunrise was filled with pink and purple hues, the sun letting off a radiant orange through the window.

The massive antique clock in the corner of the common room read seven thirty, leaving me thirty minute to get read for today's classes. Not wanting to come in contact with Draco I book it to Pansy's room in hopes that she has some extra clothes that I can borrow. Maybe she would even let me use her shower, considering I haven't gone back to my room in two days.

Back in Pansy's room the hot water from the shower felt hydrating against my skin, giving it a boost of life. The scented shampoo felt refreshing against my unwashed hair.

Soon leaving me less and less time to get ready. I threw on a green sweater and a skirt, preparing myself for what the day would bring.
