The Death Of Both Worlds (A Draco Malfoy & Neville Longbottom Fanfiction)

Chapter 16: Can You Feel My Heart

Tracey's pov: I spent the entire night in the hospital wing with Neville. We talked all night about the forest and what happened. Its was pretty traumatic, but I think we became braver people after this. "Hey, so, since when you and Draco are besties?" I asked, eating jellybeans. "Well, yeah we're good friends, we joke around-"
"I'm not that dumb, Longbottom" I interrupted him, shoving jelly beans into his mouth. "He fucking fat shamed you infront of us. Look, Delilah is like my sister, and we joke. A LOT. But we don't bully eachother over personal things! Is Draco...blackmailing you?!" I exclaimed. He swallowed as his face turned red. "Umm, no its just a joke, he didn't mean anything. And, he is the best with Delilah, so..." Neville stopped talking and turned away. "Wait, what does Delilah have to do with this? Is that why Draco was attacking you for the past 2 weeks? OH SHIT! YOU LIKE DELILAH AND DRACO IS JEALOUS!" And just like that, Neville's green eyes were filled with tears. I could just feel that he was fed up with this shit. "Look Tracey," Neville said, quickly wiping away his tears. "There is nothing between me and Delilah, and there never will be. I told myself that I'm not gonna have feelings for her, and I tried to push that feeling away, but that was pretty obvious to Draco. And besides, she deserves better-" Thats when I interrupted Neville. "Hey, first of all you can't just push feelings aside! You just gotta express them! Love isn't just a machine u can control! Its something to be proud of!" He looked back at me and said: "Not when you're in love with a taken woman!" Then he looked at me, smirked and said, "You're one to talk about expressing love! coming from the girl who was having an affair with Blaise for months in secret, thats kinda odd don't you think?" Great. now MY face turned red. "You...know about that?" I asked, putting my head down. "Wasn't it obvious?" Neville laughed. Then I straightened up and said "But, we are still trying to make it official. Look, I'm not telling you to break up Delilah and Draco, but, at least try and stand up for yourself. And I think you should tell Delilah about Draco's threats" He exclaimed and said: "NO. no one must know, ESPECIALLY HER" Then I held his hand and said, "Look, the least you can do now, is be there for her, as a friend. And, it doesn't hurt if you stand up to yourself. Draco can be an ass, believe me, but he is also a coward. And hey, You're not ugly just because you gained a little weight. I mean, I get it! Exam week can be hard! I spend four hours with Delilah and Jamila eating huge sandwiches while studying in the library. Jamila's head scarf almost popped open! My point is, if it were to me, I would be proud to date you." Neville thanked me and pulled me into a bear hug. Damn, he has THE BEST hugs!

Delilah's pov: I was walking to the common room, when I saw Tracey and Neville come out of the hospital wing! "Oh thank god! I missed you guys!" I said as I pulled them into a hug. "We're okay. actually, we finished the entire jelly bean bowl in one sitting!" Tracey laughed. "Yeah, it doesn't hurt to fill your tummy once in a while." Neville smiled, looking at Tracey. I approached Neville and asked, "How's your leg today, Neville?"
"Dont worry, Del. Its all better." Neville replied, giving me a reassuring smile. We went down to have breakfast, and I felt this hand pulling be to the back before I entered the great hall. Then I was facing him, Draco. "Shhhh! Don't want Snape finding us!" He whispered as he pulled me to the storage room. "Draco what are you-" He silence me with a strong kiss. And just like that, we missed breakfast, as we were too busy throwing our bodies on to eachother. But that was....dangerous! And I liked it! As I was putting my sweater back on, Snape opens the door so fast, the wind slapped our faces. "Back at it again, I see" Snape said in his deep voice."Uh Professor! we were just-"
"Save it, Malfoy, this isn't your first sneaky encounter with Mrs. Pritchett. May I suggest you keep your boners and breasts beneath your clothes and actually have a meal before going...commando." I swallowed and said "Yes, Professor. Of course." We immediately put on our clothes and stormed out, faces red as apples and laughing our asses out. We went back up to our common room to complete were we took off, but we weren't the only ones horny this morning.
"Heeeeyyyyyyy" Blasie and Tracey said at the same time, sitting back up. "WHAT? YOUR AND TRACEY? HOW?" I exclaimed. "I thought you guys were just drunk when you made out in the Halloween party last year!" Then Blaise walked up to us and said: "I mean yeah, it was supposed to be a one time thing but, it felt real. And ever since then, that's when we knew."
"Well you could've told us!" I replied.
"Yeah, we were gonna tell you but, You and Draco got into this whole fight back in the summer and, we didn't want to make things awkward." Tracey said. "But now, Tracey made me realise that love isn't something we can hide, it something we should express. And she was right!" Blaise replied, holding Tracey's hand. "Well, We're very happy for you." Draco smiled. "Yeah really, we are!" I replied. "Awwwhhh! I really wanna hug you guys! Mostly because its been a year and I'm getting sick of sneaking around!" Tracey said ,excited, as she pulled us all into a hug. Then at night, when we were having dinner in the slytherin common room with the others, Pansy was sitting infront of me, while everyone else was getting drinks. She was giving me a look, so I looked back at her and said "Is there a problem, Parkinson?"
"Oh not at all honey. I was just admiring your relationship with Draco. You look so good together." She said confidently, crossing her legs. "Yeah, I agree. Too bad he flew away from your touchy hands. Face it Pansy, stop trying to kiss my ass." I replied and continued to sip the last of my drink. "Hah, well i wouldn't be so sure about that, Pritchett." She said as she stood up and started walking behind me. "How lovable ARE you, Delilah! I mean, a guy could look at you and immediately fall for you, knowing that your underwear is occupied by Draco's dick sticking to it. And that guy, well, how do I say this without sounding stupid?" Then she crouched down to my seating level, behind the couch, and whispered in my ear:" Neville Longbottom perhaps?"
"WHAT! HE'S MY FRIEND WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! I screamed, grabbing the attention to everyone around me. As everyone looked away, she whispered "I suggest you keep your voice down, don't want dear Draco finding out" I caught her hair and pulled it over to me and said: "Listen, I don't know what the fuck are you trying to do, nor do I give a shit. But Neville and I are just friends, and Draco and I are in a RELATIONSHIP. So back off." Then she laughed and pulled my hand away from her hair with a grip and threw it away. "You see, Pritchett, Draco doesn't see it that way. In fact, he is trying with all his power to not get you falling in love with the wrong people. But I gotta say, Neville is one good friend to endure all that pain."
"What do you mean?" I asked. Then she replied "If only you knew what Draco has been doing to Neville to keep his relationship with you alive, oh well.." Pansy then stood up and made her way to the table. WHAT THE FUCK DID SHE JUST SAY!
