*Few weeks later*
Ivory's POV:
Lately, there seems to be a noticeable shift in the way people are behaving, and it feels as though something isn't quite right. The situation with Cedric and Cho continues to weigh heavily on my mind. Cho is such a kind and loyal person, and she certainly did not deserve to be treated the way she was. It breaks my heart to see her so devastated, and I can't shake the feeling of guilt from when I went to meet him at his dorm. I should have sensed that something was off from the start. It was he who kissed me, not the other way around.
Draco continues to apologize to me every day for raising his voice, and it's clear how devastated and angry he is with himself. The morning after, he brought me flowers. I don't want him to beat himself up over it, or Cedric. He said he wouldn't hurt him. Only because I asked him to.
However, every time I see Cedric in the hall or in the classroom, that sense of fear washes over me again. I can't help but wonder if he'll repeat his actions if I'm all by myself, and it's an unsettling thought that lingers with me. I wouldn't be able to say this to anyone, they'd all be furious that I went to his dorm.
"Lost in your thoughts?", Draco asked, shaking my leg to get me out of the trance. I rolled onto my side and curled up into a ball, seeking comfort. Draco wrapped his arms around me, resting his head on my shoulder.
"What's wrong, princess? Is someone bothering you? I'll handle them.", he said, his voice tinged with concern.
"My own thoughts."
He gently cupped my chin and turned my head to the side. "Still thinking about him?"
''Hmm...'', I mumbled.
''It's not your fault, love.'', he reassured me softly.
"I know.", I replied, my voice trailing off. "But it's just... every time I see him, I feel his hands on my skin, I see that smirk on his face... I felt so powerless for a moment."
"I'll protect you.", he said firmly, his grip tightening around me. "He will not do anything to you again."
"Promise, Draco?", I whispered, feeling a sense of comfort in his words and presence.
"I promise, darling."
"Hey, I know what will cheer you up.", Draco said with a slight smile, getting up from the bed. He grabbed a tray from the dresser and returned, carefully setting it down in front of me. "I made you breakfast. Well, I magically made it.", he added with a grin.
I frowned, feeling a little surprised. "Breakfast in bed, for me?"
"Of course, my love.", he replied, his eyes softening. "It's all for you."
He had made me pancakes, topped with fresh berries and syrup, and a cup of coffee to go with it. Draco really is a sweetheart. Whenever I'm feeling down or unwell, he always treats me like royalty, making sure I'm taken care of with such thoughtfulness and care.
*knock knock*
Draco got up and opened the door. I walked over too after placing the tray on the nightstand. Standing in the doorway were Luna and Hermione.
"Hi, I'm Hermione Granger, and Loony L-" Hermione began to say before being interrupted by Draco.
"You treat her right, Mudblood.", Draco said coldly, his voice filled with a protective edge as he shot Hermione a fierce look.
Draco being protective over Luna, one of my best friends, is so attractive. This time I didn't even mind when he called Hermione a Mudblood. Hermione gulped, clearly caught off guard, and stayed silent.
