Mud-Blood

Esme 9

Esme decided to keep studying in the corner of the common room. She didn't want to dance with him, she was afraid to be seen with him. He did say he wasn't going but then he would completely ruin McGonagall's vision and the ball. She didn't know what to do anymore, she was stubborn but being in Hogwarts there was no room for being stubborn, especially when you share a house with Draco Malfoy, the king of stubborn. Esme started to do her homework again, Draco walked in and sat down on the sofa, she lifted her head and looked at what he was doing, he sat there reading a book, completely ignoring her, she kind of hoped he would have noticed her behind him. She shook her head and went back to writing "Hey Draco" Pansy walked down the stairs and put her hand on his shoulder "So I was wondering if you wanted to go to the ball with me?" Her voice sounded overly confident as usual "Actually I'm going with someone already" He said loudly, Esme raised her eyes off her paper and listened in to their conversation "What? Who would have caught your attention before me Draco?" She walked in front of him and crossed her arms "Esme is my partner, Pansy" He put down his book "Oh, I see, that's um great. If you change your mind you know I'm open to go with you" She side-eyed Esme and walked away. "I thought you weren't going," She said across the room "I'm not, I just didn't want her to force me to go. With you, I know I won't be forced" Draco stood up and walked over to the table, leaning backwards against it "Can I help you?" She snapped "Nope, it's a public space, I can go wherever I want" Esme rolled her eyes "Don't roll your eyes at me" Esme looked up into his eyes "Or what?" Draco stood up straight and put his hands on the table, leaning down to her level. Before he could speak Goyle walked in "Draco" He backed away from Esme and cleared his throat "What is it?" Draco walked up to him "Do you want to go" Goyle made a drinking gesture "I'm in desperate need of that" Draco turned around "See you around mud blood" Draco and Goyle walked out of the common room, Esme put her quill back and closed her books and headed to supper. She noticed Hermione wasn't in the Great Hall yet so she sat with Ron and Harry "Evening boys" She sat down "Hello" Harry avoided eye contact "How's cho Harry?" Esme was trying to be petty "She's good, we went on our first date today" Esme didn't respond "Not cool Harry" Ron whispered "Why wouldn't it be cool Ron?" Esme said "No reason of course" Hermione sat down "Hello everyone, who else is just excited about the ball, I'm thrilled" She had a huge smile on her face "Yay, so excited" Esme rolled her eyes as she ate "Don't be so down Esme, I bet you will find a date soon" Draco came into her mind "Yeah maybe that's why" They all ate and it was very awkward still between Harry and Esme, Harry did led Esme on but Esme also led him on to try and not think about Draco taking over her mind. "I think I'm going to go back to my dorm, I'm quite tired. I'll see you guys tomorrow" Esme stood up and went to her dorm, putting on her long white nightgown and her silk black robe, she relaxed in her bed for an hour or two reading and daydreaming like usual. Most of the girls were asleep and Esme just wasn't tired, she put her book on her nightstand and slipped off her bed down to the common room. She walked over to the small kitchen station they had and started to brew some tea since she couldn't sleep. She poured a cup of tea and walked around the common room trying to cool it down before taking a sip. She came across a radio on the table and turned it on, humming to the music that was playing, she set down her tea and started to sway back and forth, twirling around in circles, feeling her robe lift in the air. She started to practice the dance steps she did with Draco for the ball, it wasn't like she meant to do them, they just came to mind. Everything felt like a dream like she was dancing on a cloud in her own wonderland, with no care in the world, just her with her music. She was lost in time, she didn't realize where she was, dancing in the middle of the common room, at any moment someone could catch her.
Draco got back to the school after sneaking out with Goyle to go drink fire whiskey, he did feel quite drunk but still managed to sneak back in undetected. He had his suit jacket resting on his shoulder and he stumbled into the common room. He was stunned by what he saw, almost mesmerized, so blown away it sobered him up. Esme alone dancing and humming to the radio, he stood there, watching her every move. His eyes roamed her body as her nightgown lifted almost above her knees, his eyes softened at the sight and battling his feelings with confusion and lust, he blamed the alcohol for the feelings. "You're dancing really is hideous" Esme froze and turned to face him, she didn't say anything. Draco walked closer and dropped his jacket to the side. She looked at him terrified and confused about why he was moving closer, she was ready for him to flood her with rude remarks. "Remove your robe"
"W...Why?" She asked "Because I told you to" Without hesitation, she took off her robe and he looked her up and down, he could see her bare silhouette shine through the gown since it was so thin and sheer. His hand slowly grasped her back, pulling her closer, making her gasp like before "Are you drunk? I can smell it off your breath Draco" Her breathing became faster as she stared down at his mouth, her chest rised in the air from the pressure of her body against his. "Maybe I am. But I do know my dancing is way better than yours and you're sober" He smirked as he looked down at her "Place your hand on my shoulder mud blood" Her hand quickly rested on his shoulder with annoyance. She hated how obedient he made her. She lifted her other hand for him to grab and their hands slowly rubbed together. They watched their hands touch before they closed together. His gaze left her hand and landed on her face again, he inspected every detail of her face, her brown eyes, the way she had a beauty mark on her upper lip and a small dimple that appeared on her cheek, everything became so clear to him finally. Something about this with Draco felt different, he was soft and gentle with her. He had a look in his eyes she had never seen, it was very strange and she liked it. She didn't fight with him or criticize his views about her dancing, her attitude was simply gone and so was his. It was just two bodies sharing a moment in time when there was no more hatred for one another. They begun to dance the steps they learned, they moved in unison, so perfectly. Their eyes never left each other "Where did you learn to dance?" She asked "My mother taught me in case I ever needed to dance to impress of course" Draco dipped her backwards, eyeing up her almost exposed chest, he lifted her back up and spun her around, then pulled her closer again. They stepped back and forth, side to side and the faster they danced a small smile started to form on their lips. They both felt free of the norms they were taught, especially Draco, for a moment his hatred for Esme was gone. Draco then lifted Esme in the air, slowly letting her fall against his body. Her nightgown slowly started to rise and his hands were touching her bare thighs. Draco held her close as her feet touched the ground. They both stood still as they admired each other's faces, breathing heavily "Did I impress you mud blood?" He looked down at her lips and smirked, his hand trialled against her back, from her tailbone to her neck, grabbing the back of it and using his thumb to rub the side of her neck "Would it be wrong if I said yes" She looked down at his lips "I think this is wrong" He said with resistance, wanting to pull away from her but he couldn't. Esme lifted her hand and trialled her finger down the front of his shirt, along each button, he looked down then back at her, moving his head closer to hers, their lips almost touching, Esme grasped his shirt into her hands as he moved his thumb across her lips "What have you done to me mud blood. You really are my downfall aren't you?" His lips passionately kiss hers as his hand held the back of her neck and she wrapped her arms around his. Their lips try to keep up with each other but they are both so hungry for it, it's hard to keep up. Draco started to push her backwards against the table, picking her up and sitting her down, he stepped between her legs and grasped her thighs, moving his hand upward under her gown toward her hip. Quickly he removed his lips and started to kiss her neck, causing her to breathe heavily and moan to his kiss. Her hands ran through his hair, tugging on it softly, lifting his head to kiss his lips, he removed his hand from under her gown and squeezed her breast. "What have you done Esme? You have made me go mad" He said between his paused kiss "Maybe that's a good thing," Esme said. Draco moved to her chest, kissing her exposed skin. He growled as he pushed himself off of her. She pulled down her gown "What's wrong?" She panicked in case she had done something wrong "This isn't me. It's the alcohol" He told himself as he picked up his jacket and stormed up to his dorm, leaving Esme on the table stunned.
