Chapter 24 | Elena

Edited: 2/10/2021

Elena.

I stood there, drinking punch.

Laughing at Amy being drug away by Harry, then again by Ron.

Right out of the door.

She had her own issues to work out as far as her mission goes and her feelings for Ronald. I just grinned as I tipped some punch to my lips, that's when I heard a crash behind me.

It wasn't loud, considering when I turned around I realized it was from Professor Slughorn's office. 

I rose and eyebrow and looked around the people around me, no one else had heard it, so I sat down my cup and flipped my hair out of my face and made my way over to the office door.

I glanced around to realize none of the Professors were around to catch me, so I slide through the door, and clicked it shut quietly.

I heard the movement at the back of the office and drew my wand and hesitated when I heard a familiar voice yelp from running into something.

"Hello?" came my voice as I suddenly heard the movement quiet down. "I'm a Slytherin, I won't turn you in, I'm just seeing who you are." I called through the dark.

"Elena?" came that voice again.

"Yeah...?" I said, stepping forward, finally making to the office desk. I light my wand finally, and shook my head at the idea that I should've done that when I shut the door. "Who are you?"

The figure stepped into my wand light and I recognized the person. 

I didn't know his name, but I saw him around school and eyed him oddly as his face began to form oddly.

"Pollyjuice Potion?" I questioned, rising an eyebrow as Draco's face began to form through his face. "Oh, hey! What are you doing here?" I sighed, feeling some weight lift itself off my shoulders. 

"Working." he winked, looking around as he light a candle that was on the Professor's office.

"On what, exactly? Trying to get caught and get more detention?" I asked, playfully slapping his shoulder as I withdrew my wand and attempted to leave, but he caught me by the elbow. "Yes?" I grinned.

"I have to know something..." He sighed, looking at the door and back into my eyes. "...what did you think of our - you know?"

"Oh, finally I'm asked what I think?" I smirked, crossing my arms. "Is this about our kiss, earlier?"

Draco nodded, and rose an eyebrow as he pulled a tiny Potion bottle out of his bag, then slide out another as he opened a wine bottle that was sitting on the office desk and began to pour one of the tiny bottles into the wine and began to shake it up as I answered.

I watched as the bow that was wrapped around the neck of the bottle as he did that. 

"Draco, I already told you. Well, showed you, how I feel about you." I smiled slightly. "The real question here is how you felt about our kiss...kisses." I shrugged, uncrossing my arms and leaning against the desk and glancing at the door, hearing some voices outside.

"I have to tell you," He said, finishing shaking up the bottle. "that would be something I'd have to tell you later..."

"...why?" I asked, frowning, and standing straight up as he drank the other tiny bottle and he changed back into the kid that I didn't know.

"Because you're sneaking me out." He confessed, shoving his bag back around him and letting it hang off his back. "Please, and I'll tell you once we're out of here.."
