I Was Dared to Love You (A Draco Malfoy Love Story)

IWDTLY (A Draco Malfoy Love Story) ... 22 -Part 3-

Wow, this used to be the last chapter and then I decided not to make it the last chapter. Cool: Hello. This is technically future me (10/20/13). This chapter used to be the last chapter, so the Author's Note used to be about how sad I was about it ending. However, since it isn't the ending, I was forced to rewrite this awkward thing right here. *nod*

 

I Was Dared to Love You (A Draco Malfoy Love Story)

Chapter 22: Some Things Just Never Change

-Part 3-: Oh, This and That

            Sweet, blissful victory. Sure the punch hurt like hell and my arms were on fire from carrying that stupid bloody crate but at least Step Four of the Operation was complete. Putting my hand on the lower half of Violet’s back, I slowly led her over to the wall behind her.

            Just as my knuckles began to skim up against the cool, rough surface, a loud and smug voice interrupted us, “Detention.” Professor Snape stood there with his arms cross ruefully across his chest. A triumphant smirk was plastered on his lips and a sheen of expectancy was in his eyes. Snape was quite aware of our little situation and from time-to-time had assisted us in our moments of need. Strange coming from the most repulsive teacher in the entire castle but unfortunately we owed him in a way. An embarrassed grin formed on my face and I scratched the back of my blonde head uncomfortably.

            “Yessir, we were just taking a break is all,” I was able to say without stuttering from humiliation. Another large smirk passed through his eyes until he just nodded and turned to leave.

            “Of course you were; I never thought different. Forget I ever said anything about it. Continue, continue!” was the last this the oily man said before disappearing from sight. As he had said it, he had flicked his hands in a ‘go-on’ motion, leading us to continue our ‘break.’

            Looking back at Violet with a raised brow, I wonder if Snape, Snape, had seriously just told us to forget about the detention he had just handed us. Violet’s greenish eyes were wide with surprise and a small, awkward laugh bubbled out of her throat. Soon her entire face contorted with laughter and she had to bend over at the waist and hold her stomach to keep from falling flat on her face. A small smile creeped up my face and a hot blush burned my neck and ears.

            The only thought I had in mind was, “Merlin, I love to listen to you laugh.”

            There was a great pause when Violet immediately stopped laughing and stared at me in shock. Shit, I said that out loud! I’m such an idiot! The urge to smack myself in the forehead was huge and the burning on my face just beat the sun in the Hotness Competition.

            “What?” was the unspoken question in the awkward atmosphere. Clearing my throat uncomfortably, I shift my weight from side to side and look down at her in anticipation, hoping she didn’t crack a joke or something Violet-ish.

            I watched as she took a deep breath, lifted her arm, and punched me yet again. It didn’t hurt, not real bad anyhow. She had a good swing to say the least, but when I twisted my face back to look at her, my cheek throbbing, Violet was looking back. Her crystalline eyes shone through her bangs and those pink lips were slightly open. Leaning forward to go in again, I was shoved back.

            “IDIOT!” she screamed before twirling around and stomping back towards the class. But I saw. I had seen. That soft blush and small smile. I knew were on good grounds again.
