love triangle

does he like me?

I woke up the next morning and got ready for my first classes. I walk out of the shower in my casual clothes and grab my books. As I walk into the Slytherin common room, I meet eyes with Draco. We laugh and sit together on the couch.

"What's your first class?" Draco asks wiping his tears from laughing so hard.

"Potions. What's yours?" I ask giving him a tissue.

"Me too. Do you want me to take you? Cos we should get going" Draco says standing up.

"Yes please," I say grabbing my books. We walk together and laugh at each other's jokes. When we got into the class, we realized we were the first ones there. We sit together and continue to get to know each other when everyone starts walking in. Draco and I have the exact same classes, so we stay together all day even during lunch and dinner. After dinner, we walk back to the Slytherin common room and sit on the couch in front of the fire.

"Draco?" I say curiously.

"Yes, darling?" Draco says staring into my eyes.

"Never mind," I say while breaking eye contact with him. I hop up and head to Draco's dorm. He follows me without me knowing. I jump into bed and start crying.

"Love, what's wrong?" Draco says running over to me with open arms.

"Nothing" I mumble while burying myself in my pillow. Draco played with my hair and rubbed my back until I calmed down. "Draco.... Why are you and Harry enemies?" I ask wiping tears from my cheeks.

"Well, I don't know actually, I guess it has to do with my father. He always hated Harry, so I guess I had to hate him too" Draco says tearing up.

"Are you okay Draco?" I ask wiping his tears away. Draco bursts out crying. He tries talking but nothing happens. "It's okay, I'm here, always," I say comforting him.

"Can I tell you something?" Draco asks wiping his tears.

"Of course," I reply handing him tissues.

"I.... really like you, Evie," Draco says taking my hand.

"I like you too Draco, but you know if Harry finds out I'm dead right?" I say putting my head on his shoulder.

"I know... I have an idea. Let's keep it a secret and when you're ready we can tell people. What do you think?" Draco asks getting excited.

"I guess we can give it a go," I say with a big smile. Draco and I decide to go back to the common room. We sit in front of the fire and laugh the night away. We started talking about our families and how it was for Harry and me to grow up without a father. Draco opened up about his feelings about his family and the dark lord and I instantly felt so close with him. I grabbed his hand to let him know how grateful I was for him opening up. I fell asleep on his chest crawled up in a ball. About 30 minutes later I wake up to Draco on the phone. I try to mask the fact that I was awake so I could listen. I heard screaming coming from his phone. He sounded very distressed.

"Mother STOP! I understand she's Harry Potter's sister but that doesn't mean she's bad. I'm going to continue hanging out with her no matter what you say will change that!" Draco says in an angry tone. He hangs up the phone and starts playing with my hair. I try to doze off again, so Draco doesn't know I was listening. I couldn't help but smile. He really did like me, like a lot.
