Ecstasy of the Heart || Draco Malfoy x Male Reader

Chapter 27

The days passed, the days became shorter and the nights grew longer. Winter had finally arrived at Hogwarts. With winter, came snow and with snow came snowball fights. It was you, Hermione, and Fred against Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Fred could throw so many he hit Ron in the face more than once. Hermione was hardly throwing any but she hit Ron a few times as well. Draco threw one and it hit you right in the face. "oooh sorry love" he said from across the courtyard "you're so dead" you said. You pulled out your wand and waved it around you causing snow balls to form from the ground and float up into the air. You then flicked your wand in Draco's direction and they all flew at him, Harry, and Ron.

Harry and Ron didn't realize what was happening until they got bombarded with a bunch of snowballs. Draco was covering his face as they all crouched together. Hermione was almost in tears after witnessing them getting hit. Fred continued to throw more even though they were all lying on the ground covered in snow. "I think we won" you said walking over to Draco "you cheated" Draco retorted "its called magic" you laughed. Ron's face was pink from the cold and the snowballs so Harry gave him his scarf. "It's almost time to head to Hogsmeade," said Hermione checking the giant clock.

"Then we should head down" you said, grabbing Draco's hand. "Filch needs to sign us out, remember" said Hermione, making you groan in frustration. Filch had finally arrived along with other students. He checked you all out and you were able to leave. The whole walk down there you held Draco's hand as he swung your arms. "This better not be boring" you said "who knows, this is our first time doing something like this" said Hermione. You made it to Hogs head which was pretty empty other than the bartender and some random guy in a cloak.

You waved your wand pulling out all the chairs and pushing the tables away so people could sit. After a few minutes more people started to fill the room until there were no chairs left. A few people had to stand around in the back since there were so many people. You were sitting in the front with Draco leaning your body against his. "Hello everyone" said Hermione "this is um- our first meeting" she continued. "You all know why you're here" she said but the room was silent.

"Oh this is sad" you whispered to Draco "we're here to discuss teaching actual useful spells and how to defend ourselves from real threats, like you-know-who" you said. "How do we even know that he's even back" someone said "I trust Harry and if he says he's back then I'll believe him" you answered. Other people started to ask questions about you-know-who but you let Hermione and Harry answer. Someone asked about Cedric and that's when Harry snapped. "Look, if you're only here for Cedric you can leave" Harry said coldly.

Eventually everyone had been convinced about the idea but there were a few who still questioned it. Fred offered butterbeers to help calm to tension and so everyone did seem to be in a better mood. Hermione made everyone sign a piece of parchment to swear their secrecy. What they didn't know was that Hermione had jinxed it so that if anyone confessed they would have some serious problems.

The meeting had finally finished. Hermione seemed very happy that it went well and Harry as well. While you were walking back to the Castle an owl dropped a letter to Draco. He opened it and began to read it quietly. "What is it?" you asked "oh nothing" he said setting it on fire. Draco had lied, it was from his father telling him to come back to them. This wasn't the first letter Draco had gotten from his family telling him to go back. He had been getting at least three a month but he burned every single one.

When you entered the castle you saw Chris standing in the entrance with his arms crossed. As you walked closer it looked as though his wand was pulled out. You had yours in your hand but hidden under your cloak. "Hello Draco," he said But Draco didn't answer him. "I said hello" he said "and I don't care" sneered Draco. Chris was going to do something so you pulled out your wand and stunned him, sending him flying backwards.

"He was bothering me," you said as Draco let out a small laugh. "I know how much you hate him," said Draco, placing a kiss on your head. You went into the Great Hall for dinner and Tommy was already sitting at the Gryffindor table. "I thought you were at the meeting" you said "oh yeah I was but then I went to play in the snow" he said. "Well now you get to learn more spells" you said "like the exploding ones!?" he said excitedly. "No, not those ones yet" you chuckled.

"I have some plans for the meetings," said Hermione. "I charmed fake galleons to show the time and dates of the meetings that you set" she added. "It would be weird if other houses always came up to us during meals" Hermione said. "We can pass these out later," she said, putting food on her plate. You started to eat when Chris came walking into the Great Hall. "looks like he's recovered" you joke as Draco let out a laugh.

"He still likes you ya know" you said "well I love you" said Draco pulling you closer into him. Dinner had finished but you didn't feel like going to bed yet. "Lets go to the Astronomy Tower" you whispered to Draco "okay" he whispered back. You grabbed Draco's hand and walked with him out of the Great Hall and passed the other students. You were trying to avoid Filch as best as possible on your way to the tower, which you had managed to do.

You pulled Draco to the edge and you stared at the stars. "I hope that our next two years are even better than this one" you said "yeah, I hope so tot" Draco said, connecting his lips with yours. "You're coming to Grimmauld Place with us over break right?" you asked "of course I am" he said. "I love you Draco", "I love you y/n".
