Yellow and Green

End of 3rd Year

Ellas pov

Draco had kissed me. He had actually kissed me! And he told me that he fancied me, that he liked me. I had told him that I might like him too which was the truth. I didn't know for sure if I liked him, but there was a certain feeling that I had.

I hadn't talked to Draco after the kiss. He had tried to talk to me, but I ignored him. I knew it was rude, and it wasn't like me to be rude. The only problem was I didn't know what to say.

When he kissed me it had been my 1st kiss, and it was amazing, but I just didn't know exactly how to feel about it. I didn't know what to do with the feeling I had.

I completely ignored Draco, and I felt really bad. I felt bad because he had told me he liked me and he had kissed me. I knew from what people said and what I had seen and experienced, Draco Malfoy never expresses any feeling except anger and annoyance.

The only thing was, I had seen him express other feelings. I had seen him with joy. I had seen him happy before, and I wished other people could experience that side of him too.

Another reason I ignored Draco was because I didn't want to upset him. He probably would have wanted to talk about the kiss or what he said or what I said, but I didn't want to talk about. I didn't want to tell him that I really didn't know if I liked him or not.

Besides Draco drama, other things happened at Hogwarts as well. A guy named Sirius Black escaped Azkaban and I didn't think much of it until he was showing up at Hogwarts. It was said he was looking for Harry Potter.

In the end though he just went away I guess. He just vanished and nobody said anything about it again.

It was the end of the year, the last day of school and I was heading to the Great Hall for the annual end of the year feast. I wore my Hufflepuff robes proudly although I knew Hufflepuff hadn't won the house cup in decades.

I rounded a corner when I was grabbed by the wrist and pulled into an empty classroom. I almost tripped and fell but they pulled me back onto my feet and turned me so I faced them.

My face transformed into a look of realization and worry when my eyes met with a pair of grey eyes. His platinum blonde hair parted as usual. His Slytherin robes on. And his cold hand still gently but tightly holding onto my wrist.

"We need to talk",he said.

"Draco..",I started but paused. I didn't know what to say. I had to choose my words carefully.

"Ella, if you don't like me just say so. You don't have to completely ignore me for the whole damn year",Draco said and roughly pulled his hand away from my wrist.

"Draco I don't know",I said and quickly looked away from his grey eyes. I focused my attention on a dusty desk that was 2 feet away from me.

"You don't know what",Draco asked. His tone sounded annoyed and angry but it also sounded rather upset and sad.

"I don't know...I don't know about the feeling I have for you. I just...I'm not sure if",I said but he interrupted.

"If you like me the way I like you",Draco asked his voice softening a little from his previous sentence.

"I..I...yes",I admitted with a sigh. I glanced up at him and saw he was looking at the floor.

"Please don't ignore me anymore",Draco said and looked into my blue eyes.

"I'm sorry about that. I just didn't really know what to say",I said.

"I like talking to you. And it...it's difficult...not talking to you. I need you, Ella. Even if you don't need me. Even if you don't like me. Even if you absolutely come to the conclusion that you hate me, I will still need you. So please, can we at least be friends",Draco asked with a slight smile.
