The Dragon's Kitten

15 - I Love You 🔥

~*~*Harry's POV*~*~

I was glad that Ron had been the first to accept my decision to stay with Draco. I didn't have a chance to ask him about it until two days later which turned out a lot better than I imagined. Ron genuinely supported my decision. He told me that he had a long time to think about it when he wasn't arguing with Draco.

I spent the majority of my time with Draco anyway. The days I felt less dependent on him I spent with my friends. Even if it was just one or two days from the entire week. I still didn't want people knowing that I was a Little even though I didn't mind it.

"Hey Harry. Tell me why you chose to stay with Malfoy."

It had been two weeks and three days. Even though Hermione had accepted my decision she still questioned it. The question came whenever we were alone. Like now as she was helping me catch up with some of my work. I sighed and shrugged, not sure what she wanted me to say.

"Hello? Harry?"

"You and Ron had left me." I shrugged again. "Draco didn't try to blame me. He didn't try to pick on me. He blamed himself for what happened. He wanted to take the responsibility."

"But it was his fault to begin with." Hermione frowned.

"I thought the same thing. Then time just carried on. Draco never stopped blaming himself and he always took care of me no matter how much of a pain I was being to him." I smiled a little bit as I thought of the time we spent together.

"There's more isn't there?" Hermione asked.

"He really is a great guy, Hermione. I... I love him."

Hermione looked at me like I had grown a second head. "Harry, you have ears and a tail."

I frowned. "I do?"

"Wait a second. You love Malfoy?" Hermione pressed her hand against my forehead. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." I smacked her hand away. "And yes. I do. I love Draco. I'll see you later Mione. I need to do something."

I walked away as I heard her yelling after me. I know I had said that I loved Draco before. I was barely awake when I said it. I've thought about it a few times as well when I couldn't talk to him. Draco was the person I was in love with. I wanted to be with him because I loved him and I was meant to be with him.

I walked straight into the Slytherin common room without paying much attention to anyone else. I ignored the questions about my appearance and the strange looks. My mind was set on seeing one person and doing one thing. I didn't really care about anything or anyone else.

I closed the door behind me and realised Draco wasn't even paying attention. I couldn't help the smile growing on my face as I closed the distance between us. I straddled him and kissed him. I could tell Draco wanted to push me away and my tail acted to stop him by wrapping around his wrist.

I pulled away from him and watched his face for a reaction. My heart was pounding and I was sort of scared. I wanted to kiss him again but I wasn't sure if he wanted it so I leaned forward and let him decide. I was so happy when he chose to kiss me again. My tail let go of his wrist as I kissed him back.

Draco pulled away from me this time. "You have a tail?"

"Apparently." I laughed.

"I like it." Draco smiled.

"I like you."

My tail wrapped around his leg and I moved closer to him. Draco ran his fingers through my hair and I closed my eyes. I felt his lips against my neck and moved my head to the side. Draco's other hand found its way under my shirt before he pushed me back a little bit.
