Draco and I were sitting in the empty and silent common room, on armchairs opposite each other. We were laughing about something. As we calmed down, he leaned forward and kissed my temple. "Love you" He whispered, making my heart beat ten times faster in love.
"Harry talked to me today and-" I began the conversation, yet got interrupted.
"Potter?" He spat, his face turning rather serious.
"Yes, um- as I was saying, he came up and offered me to study with him-"
"And you disagreed." He finished my sentence, turning his head angrily to the side and clicking his teeth with his tongue.
"Well- about that-" I said and his head snapped back to me. "I actually agreed." I muttered.
"You did what?! You agreed to study with Potter?" He said rather loudly and roughly.
"What's the matter with a study session with Harry, Draco?" I asked.
"Don't you see, (y/n)?! He doesn't wanna study with you, he wants to show me he can get you, he wants to prove himself. He probably thinks it's a date!" He bursted out at the thought, now stood up straight on his feet.
"Or maybe" I stood up either. "Maybe it's not all about you." I scoffed. "Maybe he just genuinely wants to study with me. You're just being jealous."
He looked at me in absolute anger. He pointed at me with his index finger as he spoke. "At least I'm loyal to my partner." He spat before storming to the exit, making his way out of the common room.
There I stood, caught off guard, wondering what had gotten into him
——————-
I was sitting on the exact same armchair as a few days ago, a book in my hand, my phone on the table beside me. I heard noises and looked up, only to see Draco sat opposite me, again. We made eye contact for a split second, before I looked immediately back to my book, yet feeling his eyes still on me.
"(y/n) darling" he said quietly, but I didn't budge. "(y/n), I'm sorry. I know I acted up and overreacted. You know I love you. Sometimes I'm hard to deal with and I'm deeply sorry for that."
Lowering my book, I looked at him, my eyes catching the scratch on his hand. "What happened?" I asked, trying not to respond to his apology.
"Hagrid's class today." He said, not fully concentrated on that, but waiting for me to say something about the apology.
"Hm" I said, turning back to my book, pretending to not care about his presence.
"Love, please, I'm sorry." He said in a calming voice. I looked at him again, his eyebrows furrowed in guilt, a slight and heart- warming smile on his face. "I love you" he whispered, making me melt as I looked at his perfect blond her and his lovely face.
I sighed, smiling slightly. "you're complicated, Draco" I said playfully and he chuckled deeply, leaning over to hug me.
He put his head on my shoulder, the side of his face against mine as his arms wrapped around me. His minty breath tickled on my neck and I heard him whisper "you're the only one for me."
I smiled and turned my head to the side, kissing his cheek. He kissed mine back and my heart made a jump, a blush creeping to my cheeks.
He sat back down and our night went on. Laughing, chatting and just being in love- that was, what we did.
At least until some point. Namely, my phone made a noise- I'd gotten a notification. Taking it in my hands, I looked at it.
"What's up?" Draco asked me as I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"Just wondering who'd send me a message late at night." I said.
The name 'Astoria' popped up, confusing me entirely. I opened it. She sent a picture.
My smile immediately dropped. The longer I looked at it, the stronger was the urge to cry and punch that boy in front of me in the face.
I felt the tears in my eyes, my throat caught a lump and I tried to swallow anything.
"(y/n) love, what is it?" Draco asked concerned and I looked up, but looking at his scratch again. Looking back at the picture, there he had the same one too, meaning the photo was shot today.
I looked up at him, deeply in his eyes. My vision was a blur due to the amount of tears in my eyes.
The picture- Draco and Astoria kissing, Draco's hand on her cheek- disgusted me.
"What does it feel like?" I asked, voice breaking slightly, feeling like my heart was torn apart.
"What do you mean?" He asked, his concern only growing.
"Lying to me. What does it feel like?" I took a breath, turning the phone to him.
"(y/n)-" I heard him say quietly.
"What is this, Draco?!" I yelled loudly and frustratedly. "What is this?"
"I was angry at you being with Potter and-" He tried to explain, his voice quiet, yet I interrupted him.
"And what?! And you wouldn't believe me but just go and make out with Greengrass?!"
"I wasn't thinking"
"You weren't thinking" I looked up to the ceiling slightly and let out a sarcastic breathy chuckle.
"I'm sorry, (y/n)"
I came closer to him and pushed him by his chest furiously. "you can't always do anything, then come back and just simply apologize. You were angry because I studied with Harry, but you go and kiss Greengrass!"
"(y/n)" he held my wrist to stop me from hitting him.
"Shut up! How can you do this to me?! How can you do this?!" I said, bursting out, trying to free my hand from his grip, as I cried, hard.
I got exhausted from trying to push him and punch his chest, since he had hugged me tightly. My panicking self being completely worn out, I sank down, eyes shut, crying silently. My head was against his chest, since he was so close to me.
"Why do you do that?" I whisper asked. "Why do you hurt me?" I sobbed quietly. He stroked my hair gently. "And why can't I let go of you after all you've done? Why can't I stop loving you? Why do I always need you, Draco? Why can't I just hate you like everyone else here does?" I cried silently as my face was still buried in his chest, his head resting on mine.
"I don't know" he whispered guiltily. "I promise you, (y/n), I won't hurt you again." He kissed my forehead, the cold air hitting my red and teary face as I got parted from his warm chest. "I think that's what love is. I guess."
"But you have done so much and I hate you for all of it."
"And I regret every single thing I did that hurt you. I'm so sorry, (y/n)." He hugged me tighter. "So sorry" He whispered in my ear lowly.
There I sat on the floor of the common room, in the arms of the person I love, crying. Crying because of him, yet feeling endlessly loved with him.
