Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

60

Holidays were slowly arriving day by day which meant that it was getting colder and exams would be arriving soon.

The colder it got the more time I spent outside hiding away from the school during the weekends and before classes start.

I was homesick for some reason, I had never been homesick at hogwarts, maybe it was because I couldn't stand Umbridge even if I was in the inquisitorial squad.

There was only a week till we left to go home for the holidays but I wanted to go home now, I wanted to sit infront of the fire with a blanket and hot chocolate while I listened to the radio.

I never noticed how beautiful the lake was during winter till now, how the surrounding area was completely covered in snow and the lake was coded with a thin layer of ice.

I was almost tempted to walk onto the lake and let myself fall into the icy waters below but eventually decided against it as it wouldn't be a good idea even if it would make me feel numb to pain.

When I was told fifth year would be one of your hardest years at hogwarts I didn't believe it but now that I'm living through it I do.

Umbridge is just only making this year harder than it should be especially since shes refusing to teach us actual Defense Against The Dark Arts.

Having to juggle classes, studying and the inquisitorial squad is what I've found to he most difficult, I'm back at square one and I'm no longer sleeping as much as I would like too be.

I haven't seen my friends that much outside of classes and meals. I see Draco more obviously since he's the reason I haven't forgotten to be eating and because Umbridge pairs us up for our inquisitorial squad duties.

Sometimes I just want to be alone especially during the Christmas season because even now I'll never get used to not having my mother to spend Christmas with.

Though I would spend it with Draco because apparently his parents invited us over for a Christmas party which worked out because that means Draco and I could spend our 1 year together.

I smiled at the thought, as I pressed my forehead against the window of the library and watched the snowfall outside.

The white snow was tinted golden due to the sunsetting in the distance, I was alone in the library because no one came in before the feast other than Hermonie and I.

But today I was alone.

I watched as two 3rd years, a hufflepuff girl and slytherin boy, made a snowman together and it made me smile.

"Young love; how precious" I turned around to the source of the voice and smiled when I saw the familiar blonde hair and silver eyes that I grew to love over the past 2 years.

"You would know something about young love wouldn't you" I held my hand out for him to take so I could pull me closer to where I was but instead when he grabbed my hand he brought me closer and wrapped his arms around me.

I smiled and buried my face into his neck "I know what you're doing Iris Fay and it isn't going to work" Draco mumbled as he buried his face into my hair as I sighed in annoyance and moved my head back to look at him.

"I don't wanna go to the feast- I'm not hungry" I grumbled blankly, I was telling the truth and he gave me a intense look "go on without me I'll be in the common room"

He didn't seem convinced dispite clearly telling the truth.

He never liked going to the meals without me but lately he's been dragging me along more than usual.

"You don't have to eat just—come to the feast with me please" he begged with a pleading look in his eyes that I just couldn't turn down.

I couldn't help but feel like he had a legit reason for me to go with him to the feast "Fine—but you owe me" He smiled at my response and pulled me out of the library.

Astoria Greengrass, explains alot to be honest the girl has been head over heels for Draco for a year now and keeps trying to make a move on him when I'm not around.

She never liked me infact when Draco and I think she started dating she started to hate me even more, she was jealous of me for some strange reason I never knew of.

Her eyes never left Draco and I during the feast especially when she was rubbing her foot between his lefs which made me uncomfortable like the blonde beside me as I leaned into his ear.

"Give me a reason not to kick her right now" I told him as he gave me the side eye trying not to smile which told me that he wouldn't stop me if I did.

So I did.

Astoria hissed loudly and shot a glare in my direction when I gave her a innocent smile as she twitched slightly as she watched me lean my head onto the blondes shoulder and he placed a kiss onto the top of my head.

"No one likes a prude Iris Fay" she grumbled beforw getting kicked once more but this time by Draco followed by a comment from me.

"No one likes a whore Astoria Greengrass"
