Working for Malfoy

Chapter 47: Just Tired

Once those words left her mouth, I just stared at her in complete shock.

"Really?" I asked.

"Really." She smiled.

"Like you really like me?" I asked.

"Yes I really like you." She giggled.

"How?"

"Draco, I like you like you," She squeezed my hands.

I squeezed hers back before picking her up and spinning her around in circles, causing her to laugh.

I couldn't come up with anything to say when I set her back on the ground and looked into her eyes. Instead, I kissed her.

I poured everything I was feeling into that kiss. I felt her smile against my lips. I pulled away and leaned my forehead against hers and looked into her eyes.

"Does this mean we're together?" I asked hesitantly.

"Whatever you want to call it." She answered.

I smiled. "Then you're mine."

She smiled back. "Then yours I will be"

I pulled back and took her hand in mine. "Let's go see what the other's are doing. Shall we?"

"We shall." She nodded.

I led her out of the room and back down the stairs to the first floor. We heard laughter from the drawing room and headed that way.

We got to the doorway and stopped to see the others sitting at the table talking and laughing.

"What are you guys laughing about?" I asked as I pulled Hermione to the end of the table and sat down with her beside me.

"Ginny was just telling us about the time Blaise got hit by her bat bogey hex when it was supposed to hit you." Aviana said.

"That was funny." Hermione laughed.

"No it wasn't!" Blaise protested. "I wasn't the victim Draco was but he ducked and it hit me instead."

This caused the table to burst into laughter.

"And that's nothing compared to when my idiotic brother tried to hex Draco and it backfired because the dimwit had a broken wand." Ginny told the group before we all started laughing again.

"Wow, and this all happened in school?" Mother asked.

"Yeah." Ginny, Hermione, Blaise, and I answered at the same time.

We talked and told stories for a few hours before I felt Hermione squeeze my hand and leave the table. I watched her leave the room and turn into the foyer.

"Is she ok?" Mother asked.

"I think so." I nodded before standing up. "I'll be right back."

I went in the direction Hermione did and, after a few minutes of looking, found her in, what would be, the study.

"Hey, are you ok?" I asked.

She nodded before turning around and looking at me.

I walked towards her and pulled her into a hug.

"Talk to me." I said before looking down at her.

"It's just overwhelming." She said.

"What is?"

"Everything."

I nodded before using my hand to make her look at me. I smiled and she smiled back.
