Just Friends

you insufferably impish boy

I woke up that morning and realized I don't have a clean uniform here. I got up, deciding to go back to my dorm to change. I got up out of bed as carefully as I could, trying not to wake Draco. I heard him groan and shift around on the bed just as I walked over to where I left my clothes yesterday.

"Why are you up so early?" he asked in a raspy voice. I turned around to face him as I was putting on my shoes.

"It's seven," I argued. He flopped down on the bed again, putting his hand over his face.

"My question still stands. Why so early?" He took his hand off his face and sat up quickly on his elbows to look at me. He squinted as he looked me up and down and furrowed his brows at me. "Why do you have your shoes on?"

"I have to get my clothes," I told him.

"What's wrong with what you're wearing?" he asked. I looked down at myself dressed in his clothes, then back up at him.

"The fact that it's not my uniform." He sat up and smirked at me. "Yeah but you're just as hot in this," he said. I turned to the door and grabbed the doorknob.

"You're actually leaving?" he asked, confused. I turned to face him.

"Yes. I need my clothes. I can't go to class naked," I explained. A smirk grew on his face.

"Well, I wouldn't complain," he taunted. My eyes widened and I reached into my bag for my book. I threw it at him and he laughed. "Kidding, of course. That," he drew an imaginary circle at me, "is mine."

"Alright whatever, I'll see you in a bit," I said, leaving his dorm and walking over to mine. I unlocked the door and found Pansy inside sleeping, with McLaggen's arm wrapped around her. Although McLaggen was a bloody git, he made Pansy happy. I'm not sure why, but he did. Sure, she deserved better, but I wasn't going to tell her what to do. I grabbed my uniform and headed back to Draco's dorm.

I walked in and he was dressed in his black suit, buttoning up the last of his shirt. He turned to me when he heard the door open and smiled.

"That's not a uniform," I said to him. He tilted his head as he walked closer to me.

"No, but you have to admit I look way hotter in this." I smiled and looked away. He moved my head back to face him, and leaned down, putting his lips on mine. He pulled back and looked down at me. "I'll see you later," he said, putting his jacket on and walking out the door.

I got ready in his dorm and walked down to breakfast. I was early so hardly anyone was there. I had herbology today, followed by potions, and finally, defense against the dark arts. I grabbed a roll and a pastry, packing them in my bag and heading out. It was only eight at this point, and classes didn't start for another hour, so I spent my time in the library before heading over to the greenhouses for class.

Professor Sprout was cleaning the room from the previous Mandrake demonstration and was getting out the Bubotuber for our class.

Afterward, I went to potions where Professor Slughorn directed us to make Everlasting Elixirs. Draco's supposed to be in this class with me, but he didn't show up.

I had a break for lunch afterward where Draco, once again, failed to show up. Blaise had spent his lunch with Luna in the library, and Pansy spent hers sulking in our dorm, so I was on my own. I didn't mind though, it gave me a little bit of time to read. I had Draco's copy of Wuthering Heights in my bag so I decided to read it.

I was done eating early and had nothing better to do. I slowly made my way to the DADA classroom for my last class. I sat outside the room, reading and waiting for the next class.
