Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

39

Today was the day which we got our tests back in potions, something Draco and I have been looking forward to because this would prove who was better than who in the subject.

I sat next to him as Snape gave us our tests back, I looked over at the blonde with a small smile "whoever has the lower grade had to pay next weekend" I challenged shooting him a wink, which no one saw since we sat near the back of the class.

Finally Snape reached us, dropping both of our tests infront of us and walking slowly to the front of thr class.

I flipped my test over and looked at Draco who very clearly had the lower score judging by this facial expression when he saw my test.

He hesitated when his cheeks turned red from embarrassment "I guess I'm paying" he mumbled making me giggle and look at the front of the class when our professor cleared his throat.

"Only two students earned an outstanding on the test, Iris Fay, 15 points to you" everyone turned to me and clapped though a couple gryffindors didn't do so "and Hermonie Granger, 15 points to you" he announced and again the class clapped for her thus time excluding Draco who cursed silently to himself.

"Now, usually we would start preparing for the final exams coming up in a couple months but given the events taking place we will be doing something different" he started which usually meant we would be starting a new potion.

Which I was right when he told us to turn to page 16 in our potions books to start brewing Skele-Gro, first one to do so earned house points and extra credit.

So I stood across from Draco after having moved tables, swapping with Blaise after him and Draco got into that argument.

Luckily, I was good at ignoring people when they were trying to talk to me while I worked.

I stirred slowly as I placed in 3 pufferfish and scrunching my nose at the smell which made Goyle laugh loudly and reach forward, "stick anything into my cauldron Gregory and I'll make you wish you were never born" I hissed turning my head towards him and glaring when he slowly moved his hand back and looked at Draco.

"Your girlfriend is scarier than you sometimes" he whimpered, as a proud smile fell on my lips and I looked forward to the blonde who just shrugged and thinking about how to respond.

"Then maybe don't be a stupid toad Goyle and try to mess her potion up" he responded making me smile and bring my attention back to brewing this potion while him and Goyle bickered.

"But she called me by my first name" Goyle groaned making me scrunch my nose up and look at him with a annoyed expression "sorry didn't know that calling you Gregory was off limits what should I call you instead? A dumbass?" I shot back as Draco held his hand up to give me a high five and Goyle's face fell to a look of embarrassment.

I could hear Crabbe and Theo trying not to laugh from behind me as a proud, accomplished smile fell upon my face.

My head rested on his chest listening to both him talk and his heartbeat as we sat in the common room his arm flug over me loosely while my hand rested on his chest infront of my face.

He always waited till the commonroom was completely empty before wrapping both his arms around me tightly while pulling me ontop of him to bury his face in my hair and rub my back.

It was a sweet gesture, a rare sight if you ever saw it.

His other hand ran through my hair as I buried my face into the crook of his neck "you tired?" He wondered as I shook my head in response to his question "just comfortable?" he followed up and I nodded making him chuckle.

"Imagine if someone walked into the common room and saw you hugging me like a teddy bear" I giggled though I wasn't sure if he heard me since my voice was muffled but to my suprise he heard me and his response was very, well, predictable.

"Then I'd have to kill them" he answered trying to contain his laughter when I looked at him with an amused smile.

His thumb ran across my cheekbone as I looked down at him "or you can obliviate them" I joked as he pulled my face closer to his "little less violent you know" I whispered dispite my words becoming mumbled against his lips.

"God if you told me two years ago that I would be making out with you in the common room I'd probably smack you" I said as I laid back down, my back against the backrest of the couch and my head resting in the crook of his neck.

"You did smack me in second year"

"Well you did sabotage my potion so you deserved it"
