Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

12

Everytime I tried to talk to Pansy she'd walked away. She told me that night after she walked in on Draco and I that she could never look at me the same again and I understood that.

I've been avoiding Draco since then, ignoring him everytime he'd try to talk to me, pretending he didn't exist whenever we were in the same room and pushing him away everytime he tried to grab my wrists.

So having Sirius Black break into the school making all of the houses have to sleep in the greathall extremely un-ideal as I knew Draco would use this opportunity to talk to me.

So I sat in the corner of the room with Ivy as she tried to talk me into talking to him telling me he keeps asking me why I was avoiding him, when the answer was clear.

We hurt my friend and that hurt me.

My eyes didn't leave the blonde as we had this weird staring competition as he got closer to me kneeling down infront of me forcing me to look at him.

Ivy took this as her opportunity to leave us alone. He wrapped his hand around mine gently waiting to see if I was going to push him away.

"You're not going to talk to me are you?" he guessed as I shook my head making him sigh and sit down next to me still holding my hand.

I tried to resist everything in me to lean over and reat my head onto his shoulder but I did it anyway as a tear rolled down my cheek.

He rested his head onto mine as I broke down squeezing his hand tightly as he rubbed his thumb against the back of my hand and as if something inside me broke I spoke to him.

"I went my entire life without having feelings for anyone or feeling any happiness with anyone and the one person I do have feelings for and feel happy with is the boy who I've hated since we were kids and rhe boy my best friend has been in love with since she knew how to love" I confessed sitting up straight again.

He squeezed my hand back using his other hand to make me look at him and wipe away a stray tear that fell down my cheek, I removed my hand from his keeping my eyes on him.

"I hurt someone I care about because I kissed the boy she loves infront of her" I cried wiping my tears off my face keeping my eyes on him as I tried to control my breathing.

He listened to every word I said carefully like that day by the lake when I opened up to him about everything. His hand subconsciously held mine once more rubbing the back of it with his thumb as he spoke up.

"The heart wants what it wants Iris" he smiled softly pulling me closer to him so he can hug me as the great hall slowly went dark "She shouldn't be mad at you for something you can't control" he comforted rubbing my back before pushing me back to look at me.

Taking my hand he pulled me up to my feet bringing me to my sleeping bag which coincidentally was next to his. He sat down with me "and she has a reason to be upset too, so give her time" he whispered as I laid down resting my head in his lap.

Without realizing he brought his hand to my hair, playing with it by running his fingers through my hair smiling down at me "so you— you like me" he guessed bringing his hand from my hair to my cheek caressing it softly.

I smiled softly looking up at him "I do but I— I don't want to be in a relationship yet" I whispered bringing my hand to his as it rested against my cheek "but we can try—" I grabbed his free hand with mine "—take it slow and see what comes of it" I said as I sat up letting his hand that was previously on my cheek fall as he smiled nodding his head.

I let my head fall over to the side with a smile "We can do that" he agreed making me smile even bigger as I fell back next to him to look up at the bewitched ceiling him following after me but keeping a safe distance from me.

I slipped my hand into the blondes slowly and looking over at him. I still hated him more than anything but I didn't hate him anymore at the same time.

He could make me smile, laugh and through my eyes that was enough to give him my time.
