Always / Draco Malfoy

Chapter 14

Narrator's POV:

Not even a day after Draco and Aurora fought Draco decided to send her a bouquet of roses via owl with a note that said:

I am sorry for being a dickhead, I hate fighting with you darling.

You are my whole world always,

D x

When the Weasley owl brought in the bouquet that morning it caused more than a few glances in Aurora's direction. She couldn't have cared less they were beautiful and it put a huge smile on her face, to say the least. Though it quickly dropped when Hermione and Ron began asking who it was from luckily Fred saw the panic in her eyes and claimed they were from him to apologize for not believing the twin's aging potion wouldn't work. Which earned a shocked expression from Hermione who was offended she too hadn't got any.

Ron, of course, apologized to Aurora that morning too waiting outside her dorm door patiently giving her quite a fright when she came out not expecting him to be there. She forgave him apologizing herself giving the boy a hug. She did express that she wished that he should go and make amends with Harry too but he simply stated he would but he would do it eventually when he knew more about something. That something being exactly what Dragons would be in the first task which Harry would be tasked to fight against exactly 2 months since the announcement of who was competing which was 1 month away nearly.

Aurora's POV:

Monday came faster than I expected my free period specifically coming in what felt like minutes. After I finished my lunch I left Hermione and Ron and made my way to the old oak tree by the black lake, once I finally got there I sat down on the slightly damp grass getting a transfiguration book from my bag to some light reading before my next lesson.

Hearing footsteps I turned around to be greeted by Milan he quickly came to sit beside me offering a smile and a greeting my way. It felt like no time had passed between us when the conversation began rolling we talked about his quidditch career, about my family back home, and about our friendships and relationships too. I obviously couldn't tell him about Draco but he told me he himself had come out of a long relationship which was news to me.

The hour flew by and a look at the watch on my wrist I knew I would be late for my transfiguration lesson.

"Oh goodness look at the time I need to go to class now Milan but it was lovely to catch up I had an amazing time," I smiled at him getting up and in one swift motion, he grabbed my bag to which I gave a raised eyebrow in response to very confused.

"I will walk you lead the way," He replied with a smile.

That is exactly what I did we continued our conversation all the way to Professor McGonagall's lesson. When we finally approached the door it was wide open I had my back facing the room while Milan could see into it. He placed my bag on my shoulder handing me my book which he offered to carry too before he planted a kiss on my cheek which did surprise me ever so slightly.

Turning around I walked into the classroom, "Nice of you to finally join us Miss Durmstrang that will be five points from Gryffindor for being late however if you can make haste and take a seat next to Miss Granger. that would be brilliant." Professor McGonagall spoke a slight smile on her face which juxtaposed Draco's. The second I laid my eyes on him as I walked past I could tell he was furious if it was possible you could most definitely see steam coming from his ears. His jaw was clenched tightly, his posture was stiffened, and his chest heaving I could honestly say I was slightly concerned. You see in a normal situation where everyone knew about us he could direct his anger to Milan but because he had to pretend we were just friends that anger was going straight to me.

I sat down in a huff before Hermione began in a hushed whisper, " Now what was that?"

"What was what?" I questioned looking at her.

"Carrying your things and kissing you on the cheek, you'd think he was your boyfriend," Her hushed whisper had changed into that of a more normal tone and with Draco being a row to the left and two seats in front his head snapped in our direction. He gave Hermione a glare before looking at me a silent conversation taking place that he would need to speak to me which is something I wanted to avoid desperately.

"He is nothing of the sort, Hermione now drop it," I rushed placing my attention to the front of the class but in the corner of my eye I could see her chucking to herself.

Just like the day the lesson came and went like a swift summer breeze and I found myself with a growing feeling of anxiety in my chest trying to think of a way to avoid Draco. As soon as Professor McGonagall dismissed us I practically ran out of the lesson leaving a confused Hermione in my wake. As fast as I was, however, I was simply not as fast as Draco and as I came to approach the final lesson of my day being potions I kept hearing him call my name. Once. Twice. Three times I ignored him before I heard him call me again this time by my last name, slowly I turned on my heels.

"Just friends? Aurora please tell me you are not that oblivious? Granger was right with what she said he was acting like your boyfriend." He said it so calmly it made me question his intention almost letting my guard down.

"I just thought he was being a gentleman by carrying my bag though I do admit maybe the kiss on the cheek was a bit much I don't know," I frowned.

"You don't know? You don't fucking know? Merlin Aurora you are so bloody oblivious it's ridiculous you can't see that he's literally in love with you and has been for whoknows how long and your just entertaining it!" He began raising his voice earning a look from Hermione and Ron who turned around to look our way before entering the classroom we were supposed to be in. Luckily, they were too far away to listen in.

"I have been friends with him for as long as I can remember he has always been a great friend and I will not stand here and let you tell me what to do because your jealous whenever you see a single male look my way let alone talk to me! You are not the boss of me Malfoy so like it or not I will keep talking to him and that's that." I yelled turning on my heels and walking into the classroom.

"Jealous you are taking the fucking piss," He exclaimed loud enough so that it could be heard in the classroom yet we both seemingly forgot that we were in a class with Gryffindor and Slytherin and Snape.

"Why don't you go bloody cry to your father about it you fowl git?"

"Oh you little bitc-"

"THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH." Snape's monotone voice boomed around the room making me flinch as I turned and faced the front of the class where he stood.

"Friday night Detention to the both of you and 20 points taken from both your houses for your use of profanities, take your seats." He finished, I made my way furiously to a seat next to Harry who looked at me with a puzzled look.

"I don't want to hear it or talk about it and currently I am your only friend so I'd watch it if I was you." I muttered earning a breathy laugh from Harry in response which did something to cheer my mood up. Never a dull moment when your dating Draco Malfoy and friends with Harry Potter.
