HIM (A Draco Malfoy Fanfic)

Emily's POV

As I step onto the platform, a feeling of excitement rushes over me. The sounds of the Hogwarts Express blowing steam, students telling their families goodbye, and owls fill the air. Merlin's beard I love Hogwarts. I'm about to start my 4th year. I push my trolley closer to the train.

"We'll see you for Christmas, Emily," I turn to face my dad. He's not good with expressing emotions, in fact I question whether he loves me or not sometimes.

"Goodbye Dad. Goodbye Mom, I love you!" I say while pulling my mom into a big hug.
"I love you too, darling. We'll write you," my mother says.

After my parents leave, I make my way towards the train. Before stepping onto the train, I feel someone grab my shoulder. I whip around and push them away.
"What the hell?" It was Draco Malfoy. We've been best friends for years. Our families are both purebloods, so we've known each other since we were born.
"Merlin's beard Malfoy! You scared me!" I say.
He laughs. "Whatever Ems," he chuckles. I hug him. "Where's my second mother at?" I look for his mom, Narcissa.
"Oh, they left already," he says while helping me put my stuff onto the train. We board the train and look for an empty compartment. Someone bumps into me.
"Watch out!" I say, rolling my eyes. It was Potter. Draco smirks as I walk into a compartment and sit down. Soon Theodore Nott joins us.

"Emmy!" he says and pulls me into a hug.
"Hey Theo!" I hug him back and then we sit down. We talk for a bit while Blaise, Pansy, Crabbe, and Goyle arrive.
The train leaves the station and we're off to Hogwarts.

"Anything from the trolley?"
"Yes, I'm starving," I say as I get up and open the compartment door. Theo and I walk to the treats trolley together.
"Anything from the trolley dear?"
"Yes, can I have two chocolate frogs?" I say while getting out a few sickles. Theo puts my hand down.
"I got it, love," he hands the woman some money.
"Theo, no I have money," I say.
"Too bad," he smirks and hands me my chocolate frogs. "Come on let's go," he leads me back.

I sit next to Draco and Theo sits next to me. I open my chocolate frog and hand it to Theo.
"Thank you for buying it for me.Want some? I mean you paid for it," I look at him.
"No, love I'm good," he smiles.
Love? Since when does he call me that? I catch myself smiling while thinking about it. I mean Theo and I have always been close, but he's never called me that before.
Draco looks over at Theo and me then looks away, scoffing. I look at him then touch his hand.
"You okay, blondie?" I smile at him.
He looks at my hand then at me. "Yeah, I'm fine," he replies while smiling back.
I grab a blanket from my luggage and wrap up in it. I lay my head on Draco's shoulder and fall asleep.
