Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

45

There was a ledge by the biggest window in my room that has cusions on it hidden behind the curtains.

Outside that window was the garden and a large open field where a small pond was located, from this window you saw the most beautiful view of the surrounding area, where the sunsets look even more beautiful than ever and the stars seemed to shine brighter.

My window was open and the breeze hit my face blowing my hair back with the white, transparent curtains while Draco sat infront of me, our bodies faced eachother but we both looked out.

If you looked down you would see a small ledge that could probably fit two people safely, I never went down there though, it was off limits to me when I was younger.

Never had an intrest for it anyway.

The sky was pink like a beautiful rose gold pink that faded into orange the closer to the sun you got.

I smiled at the view, it had been so long since I got to see the sunset from here and I forgot how much I loved it.

I glanced over after feeling Draco's eyes on me, he was smiling, playing with his fingers as his arms rested on his knees.

He chuckled before looking back out the window "You have a beautiful smile" he told me as he leaned his head back letting it rest against the wall behind him closing his eyes.

The color of the sun as it hit him made his hair look almost soft pink as it blew around due to the wind.

I scooted forward, sitting on my knees I pushed past his hands and laid on his chest, my head resting in the crook of his neck as he dropped his arms around me.

"You're warm" I whisper, it was the feeling of comfort I had missed these few months that made me close my eyes to listen to his heartbeat.

He smelled like green apples and cologne, a strange combination but it was something I couldn't get enough of.

I thought back, how could I not love him I mean, he was a dick but never did I ever give him a chance to give me a reason to love him till third year.

I mean everyone knew, all our friends who we shared they all knew he was crushing on me, Ruby had hinted it to me for as long as I could remember but I still was to blind, even with my glasses on to see it.

But thinking back at it, it was so obvious.

Especially in 2nd year when my book got ruined he accidentally spilled his morning pumpkin juice and it ruined my favorite book, he swore to replace it and he did.

To think I ever thought it was because he just wanted to feed his ego.

He made a side of me come out that I didn't even know existed, I wanted to dance in the rain with him, kiss him in in the rain, do all the cheesy, cliché bullshit I read in the mugglebooks my mother left for me.

He made me want to understand what love was, the person who I thought could never feel love was the one who made me feel a certain type of love that my friends couldn't make me feel.

He was that missing piece I needed to make me feel normal again, to make me forget about everything for just a few minutes.

The boy who I hated so much in 1st and 2nd year was now holding me in his arms, face buried in my hair as he hummed the same song he played for me on the piano a year ago.

Cheesy, I know.

I never asked him how he knew the song, surely it had to be because he had heard me play it before, it was a muggle song.

I couldn't pinpoint what made me change my mind about the blonde.

Maybe it was that day at the lake, where we just talked, forgetting we ever hated eachother or maybe it was the day he pulled me into an empty classroom and calmed me down, helping me overcome an anxiety attack for the first time in my life.

He was still a pain in the ass though.

I was cut free from my thoughts when he kissed my head making me look at him, his silvery blue eyes staring straight into mine.

He smiled pressing a kiss onto my forehead and pushing my hair out of my face softly making me wish he would be like this all the time, not just when no one is looking.

"You're so beautiful" he told me with the brightest smile imaginable, something that I didn't know he could do a few years ago but now I see it everytime he looked at me.

That damn smile.

"So you've told me" I replied, leaning forward to press my lips onto his leaving a quick kiss there.

His eyes told a story, his story which he never dared to tell me.

Because I never asked.

My hand found its way to his chin, running my thumb across his bottom lip softly.

"Where did you learn that song, the one you hum sometimes, its a muggle song you know?" I asked and he thought for a moment leaning into my hand as it moved to his cheek.

"Heard you playing it one day while in study hall sometime during 2nd year and decided to learn it on piano because I couldn't get it out of my damn mind" he told me making me smile.

"Well, do you want to try and teach me how to play it on the piano?"

"Do you even have a piano?"
