𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐖 | Draco Malfoy

FOUR | where you go, I will follow

"Hello?"
"BLAIR!?"
"What's happening??!!"
"Text me!!"

Blair receives over twenty texts from Emris when she turns her phone back on. Shit— of course, she completely forgot to tell Emris everything that happened. That poor girl must be unable to think about anything else.

She quickly sums most of what happened up in one long text, her thumbs cramping by the time she's done. Though, too much has happened for her to just fit it in one message, so she says to Emris she will tell her the rest on their train ride to Hogwarts tomorrow morning.

Blair gets a text back from Emris within a minute. "See you in a few seconds. Open the door."

Blair laughs out loud, shaking her head as she jumps up from her bed and sprints downstairs. She should've expected this response from Emris. Ever since she learned how to apparate, she uses it whenever and wherever she can.

Once Blair pulls the front door open, she stumbles back from a very excited Emris that grabs her by her shoulders. "You have to tell me everything! I need to know more—every detail!" She says with wide eyes and a big smile on her face.

"Calm yourself, Em. You'll have a heart attack one of these days," Blair chuckles, blushing at the thought of Draco when he crosses her mind again. "Come in, psycho. I won't keep you waiting."

Emris shrieks with excitement, closing the front door behind her. Luckily, Theo is at work, so there's no need to go through the trouble of applying any silencing charms or stuff like that.

The girls rush into Blair's room, and jump down on the bed. Emris can't hide her excitement. "Holy shit, I still can't believe it." She says.

"How do you think I feel? We're going back to Hogwarts tomorrow and I just had my first, second, third, and fourth kiss with my brother's best friend who is also eleven years older than me!" Blair says, startling herself by finally saying it out loud.

"So you just kissed? There was no special touching involved?" Emris asks with a grin.

"Well— kind of, I don't know. I think he's being careful with me. I don't even know if I'm ready for something like that. I know he is, but I've never been in a situation like this, I hardly know what to say to him." Blair sighs.

"Don't stress it, Blair. I'm sure that when the time is right, it will happen when it needs to happen. Just don't fight yourself. Just ask him to touch you if you want him to," Emris says casually, rolling over on to her back. "What were you two texting about anyway last night? Sexting, I hope?" She smirks.

Blair picks up her phone and opens her chat with Draco, scrolling upwards before handing the device to her best friend for her to read. Emris' mouth opens wider with every text she reads.

"'I'm all tense'," Emris reads aloud with wide eyes. "He was hard!?"

Blair presses her lips together, a hot flush covering her face. "Well, yes," She says softly. "When he came into my room at night and we kissed again, I felt it. I didn't know what to do, and he didn't ask me to do anything about it either. We just fell asleep."

"Lord— that must've hurt him. But it's good that he's taking things slow with you, B. That's important. But I do think that his infatuation with you is stronger than I could have imagined. He seems pretty smitten with you. I don't think this is just an affair or some simple fling, darling." Emris says.

"What do you mean?" Blair frowns, taking back her phone. "I mean that this is quite intense—the way he talks to you. Apparently he's felt this way for a while, but now that he knows you like him too, he's just determined to make it work. You saw the texts, he's quite the persistent man." Emris answers.
