pull me deep - a love triangle

hiraeth sat in the Slytherin common room amongst Blaise and Theodore. Theodore was a new student, having become a student only this term. he had quickly fallen for hiraeth's friend, moony. hiraeth thought it was interesting moony would even consider dating a Slytherin. although he was attractive, tall, dark curly hair, green eyes. he was gorgeous. most of the Slytherin boys where gorgeous (excluding Crabbe and Goyle)

"Where's the missus?" she asked, tipping back her head to follow Draco's body as he joined the group, he took a seat on the love seat next to her. the others began there own conversation and Draco took it as his cue to speak.

"I suppose I owe you an apology." Draco intertwined his fingers neatly. and she did the same with her arms, folding them across her chest, closing herself off from him almost entirely. "I meant mention this before fucking you —" he began.

her eyes grew wide, cheeks flushed as she glanced towards the group and to that may have diverted their attention toward the conversation being had. "Keep your voice down!"

Draco scoffed, bleached white teeth gleaming. "I should've mentioned this before, but we managed to make space for you on the team."

her head cocked to the side, both confused and bewildered by what he was saying. Was it the accent throwing her off? she inspected his face diligently, searching for any sign that he was playing a harsh joke for his own amusement.

"This is the part where she says, 'Oh, thank you, my love. How could I ever repay you?', and then I saw, 'Well, poppet, now that you mention it —'"

Draco's arm was met with a tough blow to his shoulder. although to him it did little damage. Slowly, her confusion turned up into a grin, a genuine one, one that causes beautiful young women to grow into beautiful old ladies with smile lines around their mouth and eyes.

"Thank you, my love." she said, mocking him. It only made Draco's heart dip a bit. "But I think I've repaid you plenty after the embarrassment I endured this morning."

Draco sighed. He and Pansy had screamed at each other for hours earlier, so loud that even the silencing charm defending his room couldn't contain their voices. She'd cried and accused Draco of being a womanizer, which he'd never outright denied. And he'd rolled his eyes at her tears, reminding her over and over again that she too was free to shag anyone that her heart desired.

But Pansy only desired him, and Draco was finding her rather boring these days.

"I'm sorry for that as well. Like I've said, Pansy and I aren't together, but she's awfully..." he scavenged the ends of his brain for the correct word.

"Devoted?" she suggested.

"Desperate is more like it." he finished. 

hiraeth nodded, understanding. her eyes met with moonys as she skipped into the Slytherin common room. she waved at hiraeth, grinning wildly as Theo stood up, wrapping her in his embrace. hiraeth smiled, it was bittersweet. she thought. Draco watched carefully as he lifted her shirt slightly, running his hand over the bare skin of the small of her back. oh how he wished he could do that to hiraeth. 

hiraeth hopped to her feet. "welp, I'm off to bed. night everyone." she smiled. everyone bid there goodnights and just as she was just about to leave, Draco stood, his hand making contact with her waist to force her to face him. he dazed at her for a moment, that familiar feeling budding in both there stomachs. the feeling that felt like all the air was suddenly sucked from your lungs. it took him a good few moments to register what he was doing. but it was to late, because he was already opening his arms in gesture of a hug. she stood still, stunned for a moment. although her feelings quickly overwhelmed her like a wave as she walked into his arms. Draco's arms felt like home to her. his hands roamed down her back to the small of her back, she inhaled the smell of him, melting at the feeling. he pulled away after a few moments, lifting her chin to make eye contact with her before speaking.
