6- working

I walk into the library, hoping this won't be as bad as I imagine it to be.
Project work with Draco and Fred- how lovely.

"Hey, y/n."
Draco waves at me from his table, that is already full of books.

"Hey, Draco."
I smile at him, wondering why Fred isn't here yet.

"I already picked out some books, I hope they will help us.. and I hope we get along well, yk I don't really like that Weasly.."

I chukle because of how similar Draco's words are to what Fred said to me this morning ("I just don't like him. I know you do, but I don't. Too arrogant , and his jokes? Not even funny. Hope he doesn't destroy our work.. he probably won't even do a thing.. or he will give all the work to his father or to his house elfe, letting them do what he can't. .....")

"What?"
"Nothing, just sounds similar to what Fred said this morning."

We get into the work, and after a while Fred also shows up. We split the work, and for my luck Fred doesn't mention Theodor Nott or anything related to that Ravenclaw party. Or to the party before.

y/n: "Ugh I can't anymore. I'm so finished."
Fred: "Yeah, me too. Let's take a break."

Draco: "Good idea, I will take the time to bring more books from my room. Will you help me? It's much, and maybe there is also something for your topic."
Fred: "Oh, Malfoy has a book for everything. Maybe also "the art of pushing" ?"

y/n: "Leave it."
I look angry at Fred, who finally did what I hoped he wouldn't. Speak about anything related to the realtionship of me and Draco.

Draco: "Someone must defend your friend. When you can't do it."
Malfoy smiles at Fred and than walks of, in direction of the Slytherin rooms.

y/n:" i will go with him."
I grab the books that I don't need anymore and run after Draco, who already reached the stairs.
He turns around and than smiles at me.

"Oh, you will help?"
"Anything for the project,... also I need to take the chance to see a Slytherin dorm."
Draco laughs at this.

"You already did, remember when I gave you my hoodie after the Slytherin party?"
"Oh, right, well actually i don't remember much..."

Draco chukles and leads me to the Slytherin dorms, right into his room.
"Here we are- again."

I look around and smile at the view. Dracos room is full of green and black deco, cozy blankets are in his bed, and it's very clean for a boy at his age.

"So, here are the books."
Draco points to a shelf full of books to different topics.
~~~~~

"Wow, you really have them all."
I go trough the books, admiring everyone. All of them look very old and expensive, some even have dust on them, like they stood there for years.

"Didn't knew, you are here since a century, or is it normal for Slytherin shelves to have so much dust?"
I smile at Draco, but he just stands there, with a serious face.

"These stand there since 40 years, to be percise. In the last years, there was always one Slytherin in the family, or a good friend of the family, who sleept in this dorm. My father, Lucius Malfoy, had the same bedroom. Also, the books were already old in his times."

Draco seems to be very serious, when it comes to family and tradition. The only thing I don't like about him, is how proud he is about his pureblood family and his wealth.
Of course, it's not that Harry and I aren't rich, since we found out about the money in Gringotts. But we don't show it of like him.
It's not that I don't admire the books.....

"Will some help you with your part?"
"Yes, probably.ehm-"

I turn around and face Draco, not a good idea. He wears a silver chain and a green hoodie, that matches his green eyes. His very-

"y/n? What ist it?"
"Oh, um sorry."

I blush as I noticed that I must have just starred at him.

"I just wanted to say how nice this books are and also-"
"Yeah, I like them too. If you want to you can borrow some, if you need them for school work."

"Oh, thats- wonderful, thank you Draco.

"No problem, what is it you wanted to say?"

"Uhm, I wanted to thank you for- yk the thing with Nott and also that you helped me that evening. It's a bit embrassing, that I gut that drunk again, yk. But I just wanted to thank you."

"Oh, no problem. And when it comes to Nott- he deserved that."
"I hope you didn't get hurt..."

"Oh, no it's nothing. I mean he had a stronger punch than I tought but-
"Did he hurt you?

"Only a bruise, nothing I couldn't handle."
"Oh no, show me, I'm so sorry, you didn't had to do that."

"It's nothing, just a little bruise on my arm."
I get nearer to him.

"Let me see please."
"It's nothing look-"

My eyes widen, as I see the bruises in his arm
"Oh-"

"Hey it's nothing, don't bother okay? He deserved that and he got harder-"
"Let me heal you."

I grab my wand and hold his arm.
"Uhm- how? The heal magic is only used by older students and-"

"You forget who stands in front if you."
I swing my wand twice and the first bruise gets invisible.

Dracos face changes to hurt, but also admiration and astonishment.
"You alright? Maybe it's better if you sit down."

Draco sits down on his bed, looking at me with a expression he doesn't have often. Just a few times in our training he had that expression, when I did a very good spell. But this isn't in class, and I can show more of my real talents.

I grab his arm again, when he grabs my hips and sits me down in his lap.

I blush and look at him in surprise.

"What? I just don't want it to hurt so much, and maybe it's better when you are also comfortable."
I nod and then continue the healing spells, working me trough all the bruises on his arms.
