Malfoy's Mudblood | Draco Malfoy

Chapter 16

Draco picked her up from the bathroom floor when she had peacefully fallen asleep as the bleary-ness of her hysterical crying drifted her into a deep sleep. He carried her bridal style as she slightly stirred in her sleep from her altered position, and set her gently on to his bed in his bedroom, tucking her in with the thick covers of his black silky sheets. As she slept, he gathered the tea mugs all over the studio, his, Cassius', and Jennie's, and began cleaning the studio with a simple cleaning charm. Once finished, he heard Jennie stir awake and headed back to his bedroom to see her propping herself upon his bed, her hair in quite a sexy disastrous mess as she tugged at it, clearly uncomfortable as it hung low in a once-tight ponytail.

"Morning, princess," Draco said sweetly as he approached her. He sat on the side of the bed, his hand immediately reaching to caress her cheek as she rubbed her eyes to wash away the sleep. She briefly checked the time.

"It's nearly evening, Draco" she complained back.

"I know, but you just woke up," Draco said sweetly through gritted teeth, slightly irritated by the way she retorted back at him after he took her under his wing in care. He dropped his hand that had previously been caressing her cheek. At the loss of contact, Jenavieve peered upward at Draco curiously. Quickly noticing his irritation, she replied, "sorry, I didn't mean to come off as rude."

'Forget it," Draco stated shortly, his quick temper starting to get to him. He stood up to leave the room and isolate Jenavieve, Cassius's previous words getting to him. You'll never love her. You can't love. The anger began to radiate off of him as he made his way down the hallway into the bathroom, slamming the bathroom door closed without elegance. Jenavieve flinched a little, a little reminder of the previous events that had occurred and the trauma Cassius has caused her in the past. A shiver rolled down her spine as she stood up, letting her hair down, and walking towards where Draco had entered.

Draco hunched over the counter, staring at himself in the mirror, he saw anger and fear flash through his icy grey eyes. Confusion. Fury. He was a mix of emotions. What was with her that made me feel this way? What is this? What is love? I can't love. At the last few thoughts, he stood up abruptly, tears nearly welling in his eyes in frustration as he heard a quiet knock at the door, the lock of it clicking open quietly.

Jenavieve peered through the door at Draco curiously. Just the sight of him made her heart swell. She couldn't distance herself from him. Walking elegantly, she quickly took him in a large embrace, seemingly in gratitude for saving her earlier that day. In a slight surprise, his anger quickly fused out, as the loving warmth of her body overcame him and he hugged her back lovingly. She pulled away slightly, looking up at his wondrous blue eyes. She could swim in them forever, the blue never seeming to end as she looked deeper into his irises. With that, he bent down and kissed her deeply, their lips carefully meshing with each other. He pulled back, his heartbeat slightly accelerated as the beauty in her deep eyes made his mind clouded with dreamy thoughts.

"Jenavieve-" he began to say with care, his eyes flicking between both of her eyes. His expression softens at the sight of her. Her beauty overwhelmed him.

"Jenavieve, I love you." He stated, nearly shocked, yet pleased at the same time by his own words. His eyes were soft with love and care, not a care in the world except for her. He only saw her. His cheeks dusted with slight rouge as what he said processed in his mind, not taking back any second of it. Jenavieve's heart swelled at his words, in favor of how the feeling she had for him, was returned by him to her. Before she could reply, Draco continued on.

"But, I don't know if I can love, Jen." He said brokenly, his voice slightly breaking at her nickname. His eyes dwelled down to her lips admiringly and peered slightly back up to her eyes, solemn looks pouring into her register.

"I love you too, Draco" she swelled up the courage to say. She peered lovingly into his eyes with care.

"And I know you can love, Draco. No one is born with love, you learn to love, love" Draco's eyes slightly beamed at the subtle nickname she referred to him. He bent down once more to kill her lips softly. She smiled into the kiss, she loved him with all she had. And he did too.
