𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬: Draco Malfoy

T H I R T Y - E I G H T

May 13th

I hadn't noticed how close I became with Draco until we sat in my dorm playing board games. Him, Victoria, Blaise and I.

Victoria and I had slowly drifted, she found herself a boyfriend, but told me she'd always be there if I needed anything.

It was nice to hang out with her again, she had been very distant after getting with him. He's a Hufflepuff, way too soft in my opinion, but perfect for her.

I had also noticed how protective Draco had been over me since the night I met him, when he practically saw my naked body and had to help me.

"Nova your turn." Draco passed me the three large dice. Two dots, one right.

"Damn." I mumbled under my breath. Passing Draco one galleon.

He slowly grinned looking at the amount of galleons he had in his hand. He has enough money already, so i'm not sure why he's so happy to have 5 galleons.

"Nova. I don't know what it is, that I have felt. But when I'm with— you. I feel something. I don't know how to say this, or if you will care. And I know this isn't the right time, but it really means a lot to me. And i'm tired of keeping this a secret"

I felt my palms sweat and my world spin, was the Draco Malfoy about to do what I think he was about to do.

"Nova, I love you—"

I woke up from my reoccurring dream, yanking the blankets off of me, the same dream i've had for nights in a row. Blaise was passed out on the floor, and Draco was awake, cleaning up my room as he quickly heard my shuffling in my bed.

For weeks and weeks, i've been having dreams about Draco and I, and every time I tell him about a new one, he finishes my answer before I could have time to finish it myself. And every time I ask how he knows, he never answers.

"Draco... What are you doing up." I questioned him.

"Cant sleep, you?" He slowly walked towards the bed, covering me back up with the blankets.

"Uh, just a dream." I whispered, trying not to wake up Blaise.

"You know you can come up here if you want." My mouth was moving faster than my brain was, and I personally just gave him a ticket to come cuddle me. I didn't mean to, I was just trying to be nice, since Victoria was in the other bed.

As he walked back to the other side of my bed, I saw his wand in his fingertips, fluttering, so he must've casted a spell.

He climbed into the bed with his sweatpants on and his white shirt, sinking into it while I turned my back away from him.

Almost instantly, the room became an icy cold. I shivered through my sheets, Draco noticing as well.

"You okay?" He tapped my shoulder, slowly turning me to face him.

"Yeah, it's cold." I stared at him in confusion, what was his plan.

"Probably just a broken thermostat or something, come here." He opened his arms wide, making room for me to lay down on him.

I didn't find it odd when my head was resting on his chest, his heartbeat was soothing. I found it odd when his hands started caressing my hair slowly.
