An act so unforgivable - dm

Jealousy

I wobble and stumble a couple of times as I reach the library, I don't see him around, he must be sitting at the back. I look at my watch, 7:34, 'shit.' I walk as fast as I can towards the booth where Draco and I first went. As I turned the last bend I fall to my knees,

"Ah, fuck." I wince in pain, how could my legs just give up on me? I rub my legs trying to get them to work.

"Look at you, quite clumsy are we y/n?" Draco stands in front of me, arms crossed.

"My legs are just sore." I say while trying to get back onto my legs, but they give out. I fall backwards and sigh. I give up and just look at the ground. Without a word he reached out for my hand, I gave it to him and he picked me up, swiftly pulling me close to him. I smelt his cologne, it was fresh and clean.

"Thank you, stupid legs." I sigh, not looking up once. He places me into the booth and sits in front of me.

"Why did you want to meet?" I look up and I see him staring at my neck, 'fuck!'. I forgot about what the boys had done, 'assholes'. I cover my neck with my hand, looking down to not show my embarrassment.

I feel his hand move mine out of the way, I allow him to move my head as he looks. His touch was warm, yet cold, but his stare felt hot on my skin. I felt shameful as he sat there in silence. 'Wait. He isn't my boyfriend, I shouldn't feel bad.' I look up at him.

"Who gave you those?" He leaned back into the chair, crossing his arms again.

"Uhh...." I hesitate,

"No one..... Why? Do you care?" A grin grew on my face, I realised I had a new power over him. Jealousy.

"No, I don't." He looked dead in my eyes, no emotion showed on his face.

"Well, why would you be jealous anyway?" I ask rhetorically. 

"Yeah, why would I?" He breathed out, almost sighing.

"Nothing special you wouldn't already have had, I'm sure." I rub my neck. He just sat there in silence, looking at me.

"So why are we meeting?" I asked again with more demand, which brought his eyes up to mine.

"I wanted to know when we should go back to the tower, but I see you might be busy." He glances down at my neck again.

"*cough* jealous *cough*" I look at his shocked face, I cannot contain my laughter and have the most gut filled laugh I have had in awhile. I look at Draco and see him with a slight smile.

"We could do Thursday?" I suggest after calming down but still smiling.

"That would be great. Same time as Saturday." He waited a second and then stood up. I followed and used the table to stand up. We leave the library and he walks close to my side.

"Thanks for earlier." I smile at the ground.

"You should really be careful. If you're going to do it rough you should rest after." His face formed into a sly and sarcastic smile.

"Ha, ha, ha. Have a nice night." I wave as I slowly walk up the stairs. I feel him staring until I turn the upstairs corner. As soon as I get around the corner I fall into the wall.

'What the hell just happened?' I think to myself. I take a second and pull myself together. I use a spell to get rid of the hickies and continue back to my dorm.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I jump awake with a jolt. It's 8:20, 'shit, I'm going to be late.'. I rush to put my uniform on, not bothering to have a shower. I put on extra perfume and leave. I quickly grab an apple from the Great Hall before I run to charms. As I walk in I see the only seat left is next to Dean, at least I know him.

"Hi, you're late. Sleep in?" He looked at me smiling.

"Yeah, I had to grab this on the way." Holding up my apple.

The class starts and it goes smoothly, Dean and I talk most of the time, catching up. We were laughing at a joke when I looked over and saw Draco staring, I gave him a wink. Being cheeky was one thing I loved.

After class Dean and I take a little extra time to leave, finishing our conversation.

"I'll see you later!" I say as he walks out of the classroom.

"Bye!" The door closes behind him. I finish packing my stuff up and turn to leave. I see Draco by the door.

"Don't worry. He isn't the one." I indicated to my neck. I grin with a sparkle in my eye, I loved this confidence I had knowing he got jealous. I walked past him but turned around when a realisation came into my head.

"Wait...... Why are you so jealous?" I cross my arms over my chest mirroring Draco.

"I'm not." His eyes got darker. I knew he was mad, really mad, his posture was so intimidating. I knew not to push further.

"Okay. I believe you." I give a polite smile and go to leave, but the door is locked. I turn and see him with his wand out, an unspoken spell.

"I wasn't being sarcastic." I said with fear seeping into my voice.

"Good. Better not be." He inched closer to me, like a predator sneaking towards its prey.

"Uhhh..... I better get going." Worry sets into my eyes now. The door unlocks without another word, I rush out.

'Why is he so nice yet so rude and intimidating?' My thoughts were so jumbled. He is so confusing. 'What happened from last night to today? Did I do something wrong? He wouldn't be jealous of me. I don't understand.'

I reach my next class, I sit next to Hermione.

"You okay?" She asks.

"Yeah, just tired." I glance up, giving a smile.

'I barely know him and now I cannot stop thinking about him.' Then I remembered I would be meeting him on Thursday, 'shit'.
