Protective [D.M]

"What?!" I turned around with a confused face. What do you mean hang ou-

"Oh it's you," I sighed relieved, when I saw Cedric standing right behind me.

"Were you excpecting someone else?" He laughed leaning on the wall next to him.

"No," I said quickly.

"So what do you wanna do?" He asked. To be honest I completely forgot that we had to hang out today.

"Umm Cedric, I am so sorry, but I forgot that I had to study for a big test tomorrow and I don't have any time today. I'm really sorry," I said with and apologetic look. I wanted to be alone right now.

"Oh. I mean I understand. You need any help with studying?" He offered after a moment of thinking.

"I think I can manage, but thank you though," I said with a wide smile.

"Okay. Bye then, maybe another time," he said before leaving.

He looked a little disappointed, but I was gonna make it up for him, just not today. The whole Snape lying thing was messed up and I needed to process it. Alone.

"See you tomorrow," I said waving at him when he left.

I set my steps towards the common room. Even though I didn't have a test tomorrow, I still had to study. In peace.

I wasn't sure if I can get this in my dorm with everyone else there, but I was hoping that maybe they were just chilling somewhere else.

"How'd it go?" Someone placed their hand on my shoulder in the middle of the corridor.

"Good, why?" I quickly said seeing it was Draco right behind me. Does he know anything? Did he eavsdrop? Shit.

"Just curious. Did you fuck up the potion or not?" He smirked. I was relieved that he didn't seem to have heard anything.

"Oh I killed it," I said jokingly. But I really did.

"Where you going now?" He asked turning his head to the direction We were walking.

"To the common room," I waved my hand to the direction of the common room.

"You sure?" He smirked raising one of his eyebrows. "Umm yes," I gave him a weird look and kept walking. What do you mean are you sure?

"Okay," he said as he kept walking next to me, all the way to the common room door.

I quickly muttered the password and rushed inside, looking at the people in the common room. Luckily most of the Slytherins seemed to be here, and not in their dorms.

"So? How'd it go?" Lynnet got up and walked up to me with a curious look.

"Good. I'm gonna go study for tomorrow now," I said not really focusing on anyone and quickly rushing up to my dorm. That was my chance to get some peace.

Before opening the door I crossed my fingers, hoping no one would be in the dorm right now and I could be alone.

"How did you get here?" I jumped a little, opening the door to my dorm and taking a look at my bed.

Draco was just peacefully sitting on my bed, like it was the most normal thing to do. Like it was his.

"You sound like it was impossible to get in here," he chuckled with a proud smirk.

"Okay let's ask this way. Why are you here?" I got a bit firmer.

"Because I'm bored," he laid down on my bed resting his head on his hands and looking back at me.
