Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

88

He wrapped us into a blanket and rested his head on my chest, his damp hair hitting my neck as I left a soft kiss on his forehead as he slept.

He fell asleep to my humming and the way my fingers felt through his hair as I combed it.

A small smile stayed on his face as he nudged his face into my neck more causing me to smile also as I spoke quietly to him thinking he was still asleep.

"Ivy wants us to be god parents"

It felt strange saying that, we were only 16, him barely 17 and while Ivy turns 17 in a few months it still felt strange to me.

We all were forced to grow up to fast

I was excited though, as excited as Ivy and I knew she wasn't coming back to hogwarts after break after talking to the headmaster about it.

"I'll miss her when she leaves"

She'd drop out, be home taught instead but by who though? We weren't sure.

I kissed his forehead again, his eyes still closed softly as his face pressed against me and I remembered "when its just us, I promise to make sure you're happy, when its just us I promise nothing bad will happen to either of us"

My cheek was pressed against the top of his head, a smile found my lips and I slowly closed my eyes, not to sleep but to relax, feel peace with him beside me.

Never would he show this side of him infront of others, but with the stress be was under this was the only way he could sleep peacefully now a days.

"I'm sorry you're so stressed out-I wish I would do something to help"

He groaned leaning back to look at me with tired, eyes telling me he had just woken up if not already awake.

He smiled "you are helping" he mumbled as I looked at him pushing his hair out of his face revealing his forehead "trust me, you're helping"

he muttered those words before falling back asleep.

I dragged my hand down to his, locking our fingers together and watched the fire as it slowly burned out.

it was completely dark now, nothing brought light into the common roon but the moon which was covered by the green water of the black lake.

His light snores and the sound of both our heartbeats was all I could hear as I looked up to the ceiling above me.

I couldn't sleep because I wasn't tired, my mind was running even if I felt relaxed at this very second.

Still I closed my eyes not knowing I'd wake up in either his or my bed when I did fall asleep, I didn't know he would carry me into bed and sleep next to me because it was the only way fot both of us to sleep peacefully.

With that blanket still wrapped around us both and the sun peaking through the water of the black lake, I smiled, kissing the blonde softly.

He was my home, my everything, I guess you could even call him my knight and shining armor when you think about how many times he has saved me.

His silver eyes softened, his voice raspy from just waking up and his hair slightly messy.

he is truly the most beautiful person ever.

We went and got ice cream at hogsmeade, despite it being snowy and cold outside.

I rested my head on his shoulder, stuffing my little plastic spoon into my mouth while I watched a couple fourth year hufflepuffs and slytherins make a snowman.

And while Draco wasn't looking I stole a bite of his ice cream which he had seemed not to have noticed me doing telling me he wasn't paying attention to anything.

I chose not to bug him, instead lifting my head to kiss his cheek softly waiting for him to turn and press a kiss against my lips like he usually does, but nothing came.

I frowned and looked away, scooping more ice cream into my mouth avoiding eye contact with him.

I continued watching the fourth years that were making a snowman now have a snowball fight, their laughter filling the air as I leaned my head back onto Dracos shoulder.

I missed my mother the most on days like this, a tear rolled down my face and I felt Draco grab my hand keeping the silence around us as he rested his head against mine.

I loved the moments like this where neither of us needed to say anything to comfort the other, just simply having eachother there with our fingers intertwined was enough.

I placed my ice cream beside me, wrapping my arm around his to hug his arm.

Unfazed he hushed me pressing his mouth to the top of my head and staying there for a few seconds, not kissing me but to show me comfort.

A comfort I needed so badly.

It was so cold, so freezing outside but with him next to me, I was warm, he was my warmth.

"I need you" I whispered, so quietly I wasn't sure if he had even heard me utter the words even if I didn't know why I had said them in the first place.

I was crying, sobbing actually; into his shoulder.

Memories of my mother flooded my mind.

God I missed her most during days like this.

But now that I had him, it was easier for me.

I felt him nudge me off his shoulder and I looked at him, confusion probably covered my face till he leaned in to kiss me once on the cheek then again on the lips.

My hand found his cheek, a smile broke out on my face against his lips as all I focused on was him and the way his lips felt as they moved slowly against mine.

I dont know what changed his mood suddenly as he moved his hand to cup my side, it was then I realized he was crying.

I wiped his tears away, pulling him closer not breaking the kiss because I knew if I saw tears rolling down his face I would loose it, I'd break and cry with him again.

I dropped my hands behind his neck, before breaking the kiss for us both to breathe as I rested my forehead against his making sure to keep eye contact with him.

I wiped away his tears again before hugging him "Don't cry ferret—I'm here, youre safe" is what I said and he huged me back

"I know—" he paused and sat straight making his face come into fill view "thats why I'm crying, you're here—" he paused again as another teat fell and he smiled.

"You haven't left me"
