Royalty at Hogwarts- Draco Malfoy

Chapter 62

The next couple weeks Madeline and Draco had been sneaking around Hogwarts, away from Parkinson's prying eyes. 

"Draco? Are you here?" She whispered, as she walked into the astronomy tower, she shut the door behind her, slowly so it wouldn't make a loud noise. 

"Madeline," She heard Draco say from behind her. She turned around, seeing him staring at her from the balcony.  

"It feels like forever since I've last seen you." Draco said, as she walked into his arms. His hands rested on her lower back; her body pressed up against his.

"I saw you last night." Madeline laughed.

"And I can't miss you anyway with stupid Parkinson around?" He asked, she shook her head. Draco leaned down and kissed Madeline, he'd been wanting to do it all day. His hand moved down to her bum, her arms wrapping around his neck, her fingers running through his bright blond hair.

"Are you sure no one's going to find us up here?" Madeline whispered to him. 

"I'm sure, I checked the schedule four times. Roger Davis is patrolling; he never checks up here."

"Okay, good." She whispered, before leaning up and kissing him again. 

"Where does Parkinson think you are tonight?" Madeline asked, Draco rolled his eyes.

"Detention with Snape. She knows that Snape isn't going to let me out of it, and if she comes sniffing around wondering where I am, I had to pay Theo 10 galleons to distract her." Draco explained,

"That ass wouldn't do it just cause he's, my friend." Draco said, Madeline laughed. Draco smiled; he loved Madeline's laugh.

"What are you smiling about so much?" She asked, 

"Nothing." He said, shaking his head. He intertwined there fingers together and pulled her towards the hammock that had been left out by the astronomy class from the previous night. 

"A hammock?" Madeline said surprised.

"Have you ever been on one?" Draco asked, he grabbed the edge of the hammock, and swung it back and forth for a second.

"Yes, my father had it set up for me in my room when I come back for the summer." Madeline said,

"Have you?" She asked Draco, he shook his head.

"Never, but it shouldn't be too bad right?" Madeline smirked as Draco put one foot in the middle of the hammock.

"Okay that's not right," Draco said, as he felt it swing back and forth uneasily. 

"Let me show you," Madeline giggled, she turned her back to the hammock, grabbed the edges, and sat down, making sure to shift her weight to the middle of the hammock, and laid down.

"You make it look so easy."

"Because it is," Madeline laughed, as Draco mimicked her actions, and managed not to fall. He laid down next to her, putting an arm around Madeline, she rested her head on his chest, there legs intertwining. The sky light was open, there were more stars outside then Madeline could count.

They laid there for a while without speaking, Madeline's eyes glued to the stars, she never felt like she had a moment where she could just lay there with the person, she loved the most.

"Draco?" Madeline said, Draco hummed a response.

"Yes, princess?" 

"What do you want to do after Hogwarts?" she asked, Draco shrugged.

"Honestly, I was thinking of becoming an Auror, but other than that I'm not sure. I honestly haven't thought of it much." Draco explained.

"What about you-no wait that's a dumb question." Draco said, making Madeline laugh.

"Are you excited to become queen?" Draco asked her, Madeline shrugged.

"To be honest when I'm at Hogwarts I don't think about it unless I'm at home, and having everyone worrying about me and reminding me that I will be the future Queen." She explained, she felt Draco rubbing little circles in her arm.

"Have you ever thought about what would happen to us when we graduate?" Draco asked, Madeline pursed her lips.

"A little bit, we still have two years till we graduate. I want to talk to my parents about it. They still don't know were together." Draco nodded, before she could answer they heard someone coming up the stairs.

"Someone's coming!" Madeline whispered, they both sat up from the hammock so fast that it swung side to side very dangerously. Draco got out of the hammock, and then extended a hand to Madeline, and helped her down.

"Where do we hide?" Madeline asked, Draco looked around before pulling Madeline behind one of the large pillars holding the tower. Madeline became squished between Draco and the pillar. They held there breaths as the door opened, and Parkinson walked in.

Madeline felt her heart drop to her stomach, but Parkinson didn't look there way, she walked toward the balcony, and glanced up at the sky light. Madeline looked up at Draco confused, he shrugged just as confused as she was.

Then the one thing Madeline never thought she would ever see happened, she heard Parkinson inhale sharply, her shoulders started shaking, Parkison covered her face with her hands, and sobbed very loudly.

Madeline looked up at Draco who rolled his eyes, she pursed her lips not to laugh out loud, as she looked around trying to figure out a way to leave the astronomy tower. Parkinsons cries were getting even louder now. 

Parkinson had left the door open, Draco grabbed Madeline by the shoulders, and turned her around, he put a finger to his lips, letting her know to stay quiet, Madeline nodded. He intertwined their fingers. 

They walked into the shadows of the pillars, making sure to stop every couple second and look over at Parkinson. They had of course picked the furthest pillar to hide behind from the exit. Once they got to the pillar closet to the door, they paused. Madeline looked over again at Parkison who was still too busy sobbing to notice them. 

"Go," Draco mouthed, Madeline nodded, and they both ran towards the door, and down the stairs, Parkinson wasn't going to notice them at this point.

"Oh my god, that was a close one." Madeline said, Draco nodded.

"I didn't know she was going to be coming up here."

"I wonder why she was crying, she seemed so upset." Madeline said, Draco rolled his eyes, raising his eyebrows at Madeline.

"Who cares." Madeline smacked him on the arm.

"It's true! She makes my life a living hell, so I'm sorry if seeing her cry doesn't affect me in anyway." 

"Well, I know that. I don't like her either-"

"I don't want to talk about her anymore. It's getting late, let's go get some sleep." Draco cut in, he checked his watch, Madeline signed and nodded as they went downstairs to the Slytherin common room and called it a night.
