WITHOUT YOU [draco malfoy fanfiction]

16. Draco dearie

IRENE:

I can't believe we actually did it! Ravenclaw won the quidditch finals! The entire quidditch team is being lifted on shoulders by our fellow in Ravenclaws in our common room.

"Party tonight!!!!" Ian shouts and everyone cheers.

I have not felt happy in so long.

"Invite all the houses" Ian says, and everyone goes crazy planning the events for tonight.

"Are you up for it?" Nora asks

"yeah, I'm not dwelling on that blonde idiot forever. I need to let loose and have some fun tonight"

"You are right, but I just hope you're not doing it under pressure to show him you are okay or something"

"No babe not at all. I'm wayyyy over him" we both know I lied, but Nora let it slip.

"I'll go and invite Zoe" Nora says

"I'll go invite the Gryffindors" I say and we both part our ways. Zoe and Nora have been spending a lot of time together lately. I'm not jealous, I just think that they are on the verge of being so much more than friends and I can't help but feel genuinely happy for them. I just wish I had someone like they had each other. I head over to the Gryffindor common room to meet Hermione and Ginny. Hermione introduced me to Ginny, and I love that girl so much! Ginny is a straight on savage.

"Hey Gin!"

"Hey there champion" she grins at me

"Thank you" I smile

"You crushed the Slytherin team in finals today! Malfoy couldn't even spot the ball" a cold, sad feeling creeps over me as soon as I hear his name. Ginny doesn't know I had anything to do with of course.

"I came to invite you and Hermione to the party at the Ravenclaw common room tonight. Are you gonna be there?"

"Don't you know me Ire? Of course I'm gonna be there and I'll make sure to drag Hermione."

"Feel free to bring friends, it's an open party"

"Just how I like it!" Ginny exclaims and hugs me.

Am I really up for a party? I don't think so. But do I want to drown all my sorrows in alcohol and dance like there is tomorrow? Hell yes. The past week has been so gloomy and depressed. I really want to go back to how I life was before I knew how Draco Malfoy's lips tasted. But that is impossible now. No matter how hard I try, all I can think of is him.

1 week ago:

I knock on his dorm hoping that we could go grab breakfast together. A shirtless Draco who has clearly woke up just now opens the door, rubbing his eyes. Perfect way to start the morning.

"Hi" I give him a lopsided smirk.

"Irene" he says in a raspy voice and his lips almost curl into smile before he gives me a cold stare and closes the door on my face.

"What the fuck! Draco open the door" there is no response. 

"Draco, open up, will you? Let's just talk about whatever it is"

"Draco! Are you listening?"

"Is it because I left you just like that after potions class yesterday. Honestly, it was a joke"

"Draco have the decency to open the bloody door and face me like a man you wuss!"

If the prefect's bedroom wasn't in a secluded area, I'm pretty sure everyone in the proximity of 10 miles must have heard me.
