Potions Project

Dracos pov

I couldn't stop thinking about Ella Blake. I had seen her crying and wanted so badly to comfort her. She told me about how her mom had Cleamable and I told her what that was.

I wanted to hug and wipe her tears from her eyes. Bloody hell Draco! What the hell is wrong with you! You're being delusional.

It had been about an hour from when I saw Blake crying in the halls when I went down to the common room to meet Theo.

We had to work on a project for Potions class with Blake and Adam. At least I would get to see if she was doing better. What is wrong with you?!

Theo was waiting for me and I walked up to him. We gave each other a little nod and then made our way out to the bench area we all agreed to work at.

I saw Adam and Blake weren't there yet so I sat down and began brushing my hair out of my eyes.

Soon enough they both came stumbling over to us. I looked over at Blake and she gave me a small smile. I twitched the corners of my lips up slightly to show her my acknowledgment and then got out the project we were working on.

They both took seats next to each other on a different bench from Theo and I's. The benches were very close together so we could easily work together here.

We worked on the project for 2 hours and then it was finished. I had helped and watched Blake to make sure she wasn't going to burst into tears at any moment. I didn't blame her of course, if I found out my mother had Cleamable I would have been upset too.

We mostly did it in silence except for the slight asking if the other group members thought this was a good idea or should they do this. There was some students walking past as well. I saw the golden trio walk past us with a confused look spread across their stupid faces until they realized we were doing homework.

"Finally",Theo sighed.

I started putting the stuff away and as did the others too. The effort we put into the project was actually pretty extreme. We probably spent a good 12 hours working on it.

"See you later",Blake said kindly as she and Adam started to skip away. I watched her for a bit noticing that she would be okay. She had people there for her which was good. I had to for some reason keep reminding myself that I could not and should not be one of those people.

"I know",Theo said. I was confused and turned to face him. He had a shit eating grin plastered across his face.

"What are you on about Nott",I asked annoyed.

"You like her",Theo said.

"What",I asked rather defensively.

"The Blake girl. You fancy her",Theo said.

"No I don't",I said and started to stand up.

"Oh come on mate, I see the way you look at her. I also saw you talking to her after the Quidditch match. And your always talking to her during Charms. You might tease her a bit but you don't actually say rude comments to her like you do to everyone else",Theo said. Do I fancy her?

"I don't know what the hell is going on in your brain but I do not like Ella Blake",I said and started walking towards the castle.

"Oh don't be so dramatic Malfoy. It's okay. You should tell her though",Theo said walking next to me. I'm going to punch this boy!

"I don't fancy her",I said but it sounded like I was more trying to convince myself.

"Doesn't sound like you're so sure about that",Theo said.

"Just shut up Nott. You don't know a single thing",I said and started picking up my pace but he easily caught up to me.

"I think I know more than you do. Is that why you haven't told her. Cause you haven't realized for yourself the feelings you have for her",Theo asked with a grin still on his face.

"I. Do. Not. Fancy. Ella. Blake",I said slowly so maybe he would understand. I walked away from him and heard him chuckle behind. I wanted badly to go smash his face into the wall, but I didn't.

I started going to the common room so I could do something else. I do not fancy Ella Blake. I do not fancy Ella Blake. I do not fancy Ella Blake.

I repeated the words in my head several times. I didn't want to like Ella Blake. She was a Hufflepuff. Yes, she was a pureblood. She was even part of the scared 28, but she was never going to like somebody like me.

She was kind and generous. I was rude and selfish. She was gentle and friendly. I was tough and a bully. She was definitely beautiful too and there was no doubt about that.

She was also friends with Potter and his little mudblood and blood traitor friends. She would never like somebody like me even if I did like her. She deserved so much better, she deserved someone as equally kind and giving. She deserved someone who would treat her well and be there for her always.

Maybe I do like her. Is that a bad thing though?

I thought about all of the things she said to me. I thought about what Theo said too. Then 13 simple yet amazing words popped into my head.

Well, you should try being nice, then people won't hate you so much.

I remembered when she said those words to me. I remembered how they made me feel. I wasn't good with my emotions nor was I good with other things that involved feelings. But I knew one thing for sure,

I like Ella Blake.

A/N Hi sorry for the short chapter but it's just a bit of a problem being solved situation chapter. Draco realized his feelings for Ella but he doesn't do emotions all to well.

Also the sickness Ella's mother has, Cleamable, is made up. I made it up because I didn't really know what other sickness to do. I also thought it might be a bit interesting to hear about this new sickness thing that her mother has.

Anyways thank you for reading. And please continue to read,vote,comment, and share!❤️
