Emma Melody Vane: Harry Potter Fanfic

Talk with Draco

Emma's POV

I soon feel someone sit beside me. "Hello Smok, or should I call you Draco?" I ask not taking my eyes off of the lake.

"You can call me whatever you want" he tells me.

"You confuse me Draco" I tell him.

"How so?" he asks me curious.

"Our first year on our very first day of classes. You threaten me, by telling me your father is a school governor and the reason I could attend here. Said to stay on your good side or you'd cause problems for me. Then this year, you give me a Valentine's day letter" I state. "What changed?" I ask curious looking at him.

He places a hand on my cheek looking into my eyes. "Your eyes are no longer a misty grey, but the colour of dark honey. Soft and warm at the same time" he states.

"Your eyes are stormy grey and no offense but your hair looks ridiculous gelled back like that" I tell him.

"You think so?" he asks running his hand through it and I nod my head. "Guess I'll have to change" he states.

"You didn't answer my question" I remind him.

"I think I realized I cared for you back in our first year. When I heard about you nearly being killed by that troll. Before then I had no idea how to feel about you. But after that night I realized I didn't want you to ever be hurt" he explains. "I knew you wouldn't like me though, I planned for a year on how to approach you. How to become your friend. Then Lockhart brought in those dwarves dressed as cupids. I took my chance to give you an anonymous letter and hoped you'd meet me. I wanted you to get to know me without any doubts" he states.

"We've gotten to know each other well" I state as I look out at the lake. "Truth is, I do like you a lot. But we're still young and in school" I tell him. "I think we should continue being friends for now. And if the feelings don't go away, we can try dating in a couple of years" I suggest.

"I'm ok with that" he assures me. "So what will you do now?" he asks me.

"I can do whatever I want, I feel so free. Like anything is possible" I tell him. "There's so much I want to see and do. Things I couldn't do before" I state.

"I'm so happy you have your sight back" he tells me.

"So am I" I tell him. "Lockhart lost his memory" I tell him.

"Really?" he asks me shocked.

"Yeah he tried to us a memory charm on Ron, with his broken wand. It backed fired" I tell him and we laugh. "There is one thing I want to do" I tell him.

"Let me guess" he tells me. "Fly?" he asks.

"How did you know?" I ask him shocked.

"You talked about your love of flying on our first meeting here" he reminds me. He gets up and offers me his hand. "Come on" he says.

"I don't know" I tell him.

"Do you trust me?" he asks me.

"Yes" I say taking his hand and he pulls me to my feet. He leads me to the pitch. He grabs a broom and hands it to me.

"It's mine, go ahead" he tells me smiling. I smile mounting it and kick off. I fly around the pitch laughing with pure joy.

"Hey, watch this!" I shout down to Draco. I stand on the broom and broom surf around the pitch. Before landing beside him.

"I didn't know you could broom surf" he says surprised.

"There's a lot you don't know about me Draco" I tell him smugly.

"I look forward to finding out" he tells me.

"We should get back, I promised Hermione I'd be back before curfew" I tell him.

"Do you need help finding your way to Gryffindor tower?" he asks. We hear a bark and turn to see Coal heading our way.

"No need, my guide is here" I tell him smiling. I greet Coal.

"Will you still bring him next year?" he asks me.

"According to Madame Pomfrey he should still be allowed to come. Which is good, but I might leave him home" I state.

"Why?" he asks me.

"My sister starts here next year, so mum will be all alone. I'd feel happier if I knew she had Coal to keep her company" I tell him. "But I'll worry about that later" I state. "I'm going to have more lessons then ever next year" I say happily. "I have much to catch up on" I state.

"I can help" he tells me as we head back towards the castle.

"Thanks, I'm sure Hermione and Fay will help also" I tell him. "Oh my Merlin Fay! I haven't seen her yet, I have to go. Bye Draco, see you later" I say and kiss his cheek. Before running off with Coal leading the way to Fay. I see a girl waiting for me at the portrait hole. "Hey, has the password changed?" I ask her.

"No, it hasn't Emma" she states.

"Fay!" I squeal recognizing her voice and hug her tightly. "I'm so sorry I didn't come talk to you earlier" I tell her.

"It's fine" she assures me. "Anyway lets go inside" she tells me. She says the password and we go inside.

"Surprise!" everyone shouts. I look around shocked.

"What's all this?" I ask confused.

"A party of course" two identical red headssay. They must be Fred and George.

"It's celebrating us winning the house cup, everyone who was petrified being awake and the return of your eye sight" Harry tells me.

"And of Harry defeating the basilisk" the twins adds.

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" I ask them. They party begins. Fay and I grab Hermione & Ginny. Making them dance with us. I assure Ginny there's no hard feelings. We partied until midnight. Until we were told to go to bed by Professor McGonagall. I changed into my pjs and crawled into my bed beside Coal. I soon fell into s dreamless sleep.
