"What do you mean Katie Bell got cursed?"

Noah and I sat in the common room on the couch in front of the open fire.

"Apparently she got cursed on her way back to the castle from hogsmeade." Noah answered, throwing a blanket to me. "It was bad, she almost died but she got help in time and will be fine."

"Oh."

One week he passed and things were starting to get better. Draco didn't stay away from me anymore — he's been by my side much — and when he's not he makes sure that I'm with Blaise, Theodore, Daphne and Pansy. He won't tell me where he goes — he says that it's important and that he will tell me sooner or later. But not now. I try to follow him in secret sometimes but I always get caught by either Blaise or Theodore.

Everyone has been so protective and I don't know why. No one tells me anything.

But the one who has been most protective over me is Draco. When we are out in public he always makes sure to have at least one hand touching me — as if he is scared to lose me. When we are alone he wants to be close.

Sometimes he doesn't talk much — especially when he's been away from me and I've been with the others. When he returns he just wants to sleep with me in his arms. And when we've spent the whole day together he wants to be touched.

"I heard from some gryffindor that she went flying in the air like a bird." Noah commented as he ate a sweet.

Blaise and Theodore were out on a walk in the forest with Gilbert. Daphne and Pansy were in detention for wearing "to revealing clothes". Draco — I don't know where Draco is.

"Did you know that Blaise is planning another party after the fall dance." Noah asked.

The fall dance was on Friday — it was now Monday. Daphne, Pansy and I had already gotten our dresses. Blaise had been planning an after party in the common room just like he had last year.

"Yeah, he mentioned it to me. He said it was going to be more epic that last year he threw an after party."

"I have detention." Noah groaned and stood up. "Before you ask why — I skipped class to spend time with the Weasley twins in the astronomy tower. Those pills makes me feel fucking amazing."

He left the common room and before he did he made sure to hug me. I was left alone sitting on the couch. I took the book from my lap and opened it — and started reading the pages. Draco had gotten a book for me so that I wouldn't be left bored when he was gone. It was all nice —

Until I felt a presence behind me. He collapsed on the couch beside me, making himself comfortable.

"Hey," I looked to the side and was greeted by his brown hues that were plastered on me, his brown hair messy as he sat and leaned back. "

"Graham." I greeted him back, I closed the book.

"It's been a long time since you and I talked alone." He chuckled. "How is your life going, beautiful Isabella Clair?"

"Actually Graham Montague — my name is Malfoy if you didn't know."

"Oh right." He ran his fingers through his hair. "I forgot — the arrangement between your family and his. Such pity that your parents didn't choose my family —"

"I'm quite happy to be a Malfoy — thank you."

There was a silence — I looked away from him but I could still feel his gaze on me as I tried to ignore him.

"You've got some attitude." He said after a moment of silence. "I like that."

He was acting weird. I ignored it — and him. And decided to not pay attention to him and continue reading my book instead.

"So you're ignoring me?"

"You've changed. Why are you ignoring me? I know that you can hear me."

"Hello?"

He scooted closer to me — and put his arm around my shoulder making me tense up. I immediately pulled his arm away and moved more to the left.

"You know — I like it when girls act like this." He sneered. "It's attractive when they play hard to catch."

"I'm sure you already know this —" I smiled. "But I'm in a relationship so I'm not interested in what you have to say. Oh wait — I'm actually married. So why don't you bother someone else?"

"Well you're my friend so I just want to talk to you. Is that wrong of me? I don't think I'm bothering you — I just want someone to talk to."

I gave him a weird look, "okay — talk."

"He's not good for you, you deserve better. Why can't you see that?" he licked the inside of his cheek, looking at me with hungry eyes.

"I'm sorry that you feel that way. But I'm happy with him. He's everything I want and I don't want anyone else." I sent him an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry Graham. But there's nothing you can do to change my mind. Maybe you should try and find someone else?"

He didn't look sad. Instead he looked amused, he slowly bit his lip before he moved closer to me.

He grabbed me by the waist and brought me closer to him, making my body press against his.

"Um — "

"Get your hands off her." Another voice was heard. A voice I recognized as Dracos. "She's mine."

His grip on my body loosened. He pulled his hands away and I directly pushed myself off him and stood up.

Graham stood up as well, facing the platinum blonde who rushed over to him with rage spread all over his face, Graham greeted Draco with a chuckle, "Malfoy, didn't expect to see you here."

Draco rushed over to Graham and grabbed him by his shirt. "Do you always touch girls before asking for their consent, Montague? Is that a habit of yours — because if I saw that right you just touched my wife without asking for her consent. And if I heard that stupid conversation right — she want to be left alone. Can't take a hint can you?"

"Chill down, Malfoy." Graham laughed. "You don't have to be so pressed. I was just joking around."

"Touch her again and I'll kill you —" Draco warned, his grip on Graham's shirt tightening. "Talk to her again and I'll end you. If you look at her I'll make sure that that's the last time you'll ever use your eyes again!"

"Draco stop it, let's leave." I said, looking at him as he looked close to kill the brunette. "I'm tired — let's go and rest."

"Don't ever touch her or any girl without their consent again. If I see you do it again I won't hesitate to fucking ruin your life." Draco pushed Graham backwards and then spat at him.

He walked over to me and softly took a hold of my hand as he pulled me with him towards our dorm.

We entered our dormitory and he let go of me, "Are you okay?" He looked at me with concerned eyes.

"Yes." I sent him a smile. "I am. I'm okay. He didn't do anything."

"Are you sure —?"

"Yes."

"Good." He brought me into his chest, holding onto me tight.

Heaven only knows how good it feels to be in his embrace, hearing his heartbeat as I rest my head against his chest. It felt like being in paradise — this moment.

"I'm tired Draco." I wrapped my arms around his waist. "Stay with me while I sleep?"

"Okay."
