Draco
All through the day, I see Granger trying to catch my eye. I walk in to Arithmancy, and inhale sharply when I see her eyes. When I went to sleep last night, I expected her to be angry the next day; but all I see in her chocolatey orbs is a gentle understanding.
I slump into the chair next to her, avoiding her gaze.
"Draco," she whispers softly.
I ignore her, pretending to pay attention to whatever the hell Vector is teaching.
"Draco," she murmurs again.
I whip my head around, trying to muster up a cold glare. It must not have worked, because when she sees my expression, she smiles triumphantly. I frown, and turn away.
"Draco," she says loudly.
Heads turn towards us.
"Is there a problem, you two?" Vector snaps, looking at us.
"No Professor, not at all," Granger says quickly.
I snort, and grudgingly start to take some notes. Vector drones on, and I lean back in my chair. A soft hand covers mine. I look down at the desk, and I see Granger's fingers resting on top of mine. I quickly pull my hand away from her. Merlin, this girl.
"What do you want?" I hiss.
"I know your secret," she whispers.
I tense, but stay quiet. How could she possibly know when I haven't told her yet?
"You're missing your dad," she says quietly. "You feel guilty about being with me because you know he wouldn't approve."
"Granger, no, that's not what-"
"Shut up Draco," she mutters. "We can work it out!"
I let out a bitter laugh. If only it was that easy.
"Together," she says softly, entwining her hand with mine, and squeezing slightly.
I want to look at her, and tell her that she's right. That this can be fixed. I want to squeeze her hand back. I want to kiss her until we can't breathe.
"No," I say coldly. "How many times do I have to tell you?"
She looks at me, the hurt in her eyes making me squirm with guilt.
"I don't want to be together Granger. Just leave me alone," I hiss.
"Draco, I don't understand..."
"I don't expect you to," I spit.
She scans my face, looking for any signs that I'm just playing a horrible joke on her. When she realizes I'm not, her features harden.
"Fine," she growls. "I don't ever want to talk to you again."
My heart twists, but I keep my icy exterior.
"Sounds fine by me," I say coldly.
She glares at me, and then raises her hand.
