Dark Desicions ~ Draco X Reader

Chapter 47 ~ The Library Incident

°• You'll be there two. By our side •°

I laid on my bed, over thinking everything. I held the dragon teddy, that Draco got me, close to my chest, asking myself, did I do the right thing. But of course I did. There was no way Draco and i could be together, without bad things happening. But, I'm glad he knows, I just wish that I knew sooner.

I would've had someone to talk to about it,  not racking my brain on every question. Having to figure things out all on my own, causing many sleepless nights. But again, over thinking everything, I dont know if it would have helped much. I made my desicion weeks ago, but hearing him today, begging me not to do it, caused me to second guess myself.

But I shouldn't be. I need to help my family anyway I can. And if that means joining Voldemort, then so be it. Before I knew it, my eyes had fluttered shut. Having my first peaceful sleep in weeks.

I sat quietly, my hand scratching in pain, as the quill etched new words onto my hand. But, as much as it hurt, the second time around, it was actually bearable. What actually hurt me, was seeing my friends squirming in pain.

And even worse, Nigle. He didnt deserve this, he was only little and Umbridge should be protecting him from harm, not giving it to him.

But there was nothing I could do, except comfort him when we left the hall. "Are you okay?" I asked calmly, crouching down to become eye level. He just nodded slowly. "You know, your very brave, and I'm very proud of you, Nigle. You did the right thing, helping my brother." I smiled softly before standing up.

"You okay Potter?" Fred asked coming up behind me "to be honest, Fred, it hurts less the second time round." I let out a soft laugh. "But, I think I'm going to head to the library. I have alot of homework to catch up on." I sighed "do you mind if I join you?" Fred asked politely "of course" I smiled

"I'm going back to the Griffindor common, I'll take Nigel back and make sure hes okay" George confirmed, before walking off with the boy.

We began walking to the library, our hands brushing up against one anothers. I didnt think much of it at first, until I noticed that everytime it did, I would get butterflies in my stomach.

"He doesn't deserve this, Nigel" i started, breaking the silence "Umbridge should be protecting him, not causing him harm" we pushed open the doors to the library and wandered in. The room was dead quite, only the occasional person, either reading or studying. "For a slytherin, your extremely caring of others Potter" Fred teased.

I sat down at one of the tables and pulled out my books and quill, Fred doing the same.

The one thing about Fred, he was always great at taking your mind of things. Just spending ten minutes with him, you forget why you were upset or annoyed. And that's exactly what he did.

"Okay, if you could go anywhere, where would it be?" He asked, a huge smile on his face. The whole time we were in the library, was spent just like this. Asking each other the first question that came to our heads.

I pondered on the question for a moment before answering "Mexico" I finally said "specifically the muggle celebration of day of the dead. The culture during that time, the parades, just look amazing!" I explained "how about you Freddie?"

"George and I have always wanted to go to Japan." He said with no hesitation, his face lighting up instantly "they have some of the most amazing wizarding joke shops over there, things we couldnt even think of."

I loved the way his face always lit up when he spoke about George, the way he got so passionate whenever he spoke about anything joke related. I watched his face gleam as he continued to speak about Japan. Telling exactly were he wanted to visit, what he wanted to eat and what he wanted to do.

"And," he calmed down "you'll be there two. By our side, trying out the pranks and the food." He smiled softly, looking nervously for the reply. I hesitated for a moment. Everything came flooding back in an instant.

"That would be amazing" I said, secretly hoping that it would happen. Knowing what I had to do, my future at this point, was completely determined on my desicion.

His stare brought me back into reality.  His eyes deeply into mine, a small smile on his lips. I looked back down to my book, diverting my eyes from the gaze. The whole time we were here, we didnt even touch our quills, to busy talking about anything and everything.

I felt his warm finger lightly touch my chin, moving my head to face his gaze once more. His brown eyes flicking from my eyes to my lips, slowly moving his towards mine. I hesitated a bit, before his lips gently placed onto mine.

For that moment, it felt like we were the only people in the world. His scent of marshmallow and smoke filled my lungs. I quickly pulled away, and started to gather my things. "I,um, I have to go." I quickly said.

"Y/n" Fred called after me, as I continued to walk out of the library. What was I thinking? I mean, i do like Fred. I like Fred alot. But with everything that's going on, I cant let him down. And I know if I started something with him, I would hurt him, and he doesn't deserve to get hurt. Especially by me.
