If only...

Chapter 2 - jealousy

P.O.V Cecelia Black
After I fell asleep on Draco I couldn't get the feeling of butterflies out of my stomach. We kept making eye contact up on the way to the castle and then we'd look away hurriedly. What a guy. He was so smooth when he kept his arm around me. I really liked him. Like really really much. But did he like me? Maybe...
We went up to the castle, watched the boring sorting ceremony and then we were dismissed to our common room. Up there I talked to another cute guy. Theodore Nott.

It had been a long time since I had talked to him. "Hey Cecilia, you got even more beautiful since June." He said hugging me.
"Oh please I'm same as I ever was," I said hugging him back. Over his shoulder I saw Draco flounce into the room the stop. He glared at Theo's back. I raised my eyebrows at him.
"We should hang out one of these days." Theo said breaking the hug.
"Yeah-..." I began but was cut off by Draco who walked over.
"What's up Theo." He said as his arm went over my shoulder. Oh.  My. God. He was not doing this now. I tried getting out of his grip but he was strong, and instead of letting me go he turned me and kissed me right on the lips. His lips where soft and his hand went from around my shoulders to the crook of my back. He tasted like fresh apples. I knew this was a power move in front of his friend but I couldn't break the kiss. It was the best kiss I had ever had. And considering I had kissed a few boys, one being Cedric Diggory, Draco was good. Really good. When he finally pulled away Theo had an expression of truest surprise.
"Oh sorry don't mind us Theo." Draco said leading me away. When we finally got to a private spot I turned to Draco.
"What the heck! You can't just come up to me and kiss me like that!" He smirked his smirk and said,
"Please I helped you avoid getting embarrassed."
"What do you mean you helped me from being embarrassed! Theo was just talking to me!" I said crossing my arms.
"Well you sure liked it." He said smirking
"I did not" I responded going red in the face.
"Hmm well then clearly my charm hasn't worked on you here let me try again."

And before I could even move he was kissing me again. This time he had me against a wall pressed up against my body. He slowly took his hand and slowly moved it to my hip to rest it there. Oh whatever I might as well take advantage of the Draco malfoy kissing me. I pressed up against him completely and started to kiss him back. With that bit of approval from me Draco deepened the kiss. Oh how wonderful this was. I was kissing my true love at last.
After a while we broke apart.
"Okay fine, I like when you kiss me." I said to him.
"I knew this day would come. Your a good kisser, we should do this more often." Draco said putting his arm around me.
"Thanks your not so bad yourself." I responded. And just like that Draco winked at me and strolled off to his dorm. Oh wait till Eva hears!

P.O.V Eva Black
I was woken up from my afternoon nap by an especially excited Cecelia. She was practically bouncing off the walls.
"Want to tell me what happened?" I asked groggily, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Well, Draco and I..." she blushed, and looked down at her feet. "Kissed?" I asked, staring at her.
"How did you know!!" She smiled, and gazed dreamily to the side, no doubt thinking about Draco. "He just, he knows me so well, and he's so kind-" I laughed. "Are we talking about the same Draco?" She scowled at me. "He's different around me, oh Eva you wouldn't even believe how it happened! I was talking to that cute boy, Theo Nott, honestly 100/10 on the hotness scale. But anyways, we were talking and out of nowhere Draco came over and kissed me!!" She grinned, biting her lip at the thought. "So I guess you have a boyfriend!" I chimed. "Oh I don't know about that. Theo's still in the running!" I gaped at her. "Cecelia Black!! Two boys in one day? Where do you have all the energy!?"

Time skip to dinner ——————————

Cecelia and I sat down at the Slytherin table, facing Theo and another new boy Matteo. When did everyone get so hot?? I looked up from my chicken to see him looking directly at me. Oh my god.
While I was away in fantasy land dreaming of Matteo and I's wedding, Cecelia was blushing like a school girl over what Draco had just whispered in her ear. Which would make sense, because well she was a school girl. "We're going to get some air" Draco announced, grabbing cece's hand, leading her from the great hall. "What was that all about, there's loads of air in here!" One of Draco cronies, Crabbe said, causing all of us to erupt with laughter.

I glanced back over at Theo, who was grumbling and stabbing his chicken with his fork far harder than he needed to. "So, she's your sister?" Matteo leaned over the table to me, looking at the entrance. "Last time I checked." He have a weak smile. "So uh, whats going on with Draco and her, are they together?" I debated it for a second, did Draco think they were together? Because cece sure didn't. What would that mean for them?
"No, but they've been spending a lot of time together recently." Matteo nodded along, passing the information along to Theo. "Thanks. What about you? You got any boyfriend I should now about?" He grinned. Oh god was he flirting with me? I shook my head no. Words weren't registering in my brain. "Good, maybe I'll ask you out some time." He said, locking eyes with me. Man he was bold. "Maybe I'll say yes." I prayed to god my face wasn't as red as it felt right now, because if it was, I must look like a cherry.

"Good." Was his only reply. Why did one word have such an effect on me? Damn it, I liked George didn't I? What was going on??

After a while of chatting with the girl beside me, don't ask me her name because for the life of me I couldn't tell you, I left and headed back to my dorm. It was 8 pm, that's not too early to go to bed is it? Nah.

I walked through the deserted hallways, chatting with the occasional painting, before reaching the stairs to the dungeon. But to my surprise I wasn't the only one there. "Hey Eva." George whispered from behind me. "George? What are you doing here?" He clearly followed me here, but I wanted to hear his explanation. "I just wanted to see how you were." I looked at him dumbfounded. "You followed me all the way here to ask me how I am?" He looked away, clearly embarrassed. "It's only weird if you make it weird." He replied, finally making eye contact with me. I was reminded why I liked this boy, and immediately felt bad for flirting with Matteo. Why did I feel bad?? I shouldn't be feeling guilty, it wasn't like George and I were together or anything.

"It's a little weird." I chuckled, earning a small smile from him. "I actually wanted to ask you if you had time to see the astronomy tower with me tonight?" He looked down at his feet waiting for a reply. Just me and him? Hell yes. But part of me realized that Fred was most likely to be there, as he was for everything.
"Just the two of us?" I asked, nervously biting my lip. "Yeah, is that ok?" I had to stop myself from smiling like an idiot, because alone time with George Weasley? Yes please. "Yeah. I guess I have time." I looked down at my wrist, only to realize I wasn't wearing a watch. Damnit. You look like a total idiot now.

I brushed it off and tucked my short black hair behind my ear, trying to play it cool.

Two boys in one day? Wow. I was good.
