Fates Vows

Chapter Two

After Draco left in a strop, I was bored for about an hour, before I had enough and got up with a huff to find Draco. I quickly grab Bianco, before carefully walking out of the train carriage I was in, to head towards the furthest carriage looking in each while passing. Eventually, after looking in nearly every carriage I found him with Enzo. Smiling to myself, I opened the door.

"Can I come in?" I asked, tilting my head.

"Sure." Enzo smiled at me softly, "do you know where Theo is? Draco is a bit boring."

"Oh yeah. The second last carriage at the top. He's with Matt and Tom. Fighting over who is the smartest." 

"Thanks." Enzo smiled at me again, "have fun, love birds." With a smirk, he added, quickly leaving the carriage.

I mean Draco's hot and everything but I could never imagine myself dating him. He's way too cocky. He 100% has got daddy issues. He also probably has trust issues. And I can go on and on. Too many red flags. (A/N: My heart was dying writing that. I love you Dray.) However my friends think we're dating. It's extremely annoying. I mean we do sometimes flirt but that's just for fun. I do not have any feelings that I know of for Draco.

"Why'd you leave?" He asked after 20 minutes of comfortable silence.

"They were boring me." I responded turning from starring in the window.

"Kay." 

The rest of the train ride we talked about random things, joking and laughing. When the train arrived, we got off, heading to the carriage to meet our friends. I started to shiver because of the cold. Trying to make it subtle, so Draco wouldn't notice. Unfortunately my plan didn't work, because he asked. "Are you cold, Rosie, darling?" 

"No." I lied my teeth chattering making it obvious that I was cold. Making Draco see straight through it.

"You're freezing. Draco stopped me, taking my hand in his. He blew into them, warming them up slightly. "Here." He added taking out his hoodie he was wearing before he got changed into his robes.

"Thanks, Dracey-Poo." I thanked with a smile, kissing him gently on the cheek, carefully sliding the hoodie on. It was an emerald green colour with the word Malfoy in the middle, added with snakes to finish the Slytherins vibe off. Putting my hood up, me and Draco walked, his arm causally draped over my shoulders. Up ahead, I saw Fred and George. "Uhh. Dray? Do you mind? I wanna say hello to Fred and George." I asked with a small smile. He hesitated before nodding, taking his arm off of my shoulder. Thanking him before I ran off after my friends. "Freddie! Georgie!" I greeted loudly running to jump on Fred's back. 

"Hi." Fred greeted catching my legs.

*********************************

After an hour, of chatting with Fred and George, we finally arrived at the castle. I spotted Theo with Matt. "Bye, Freddie. Bye Georgie." I spoke with a smile.

"Bye Elle." Freddie and George spoke in sink.

"See you tomorrow?" George asked.

"Yeah. Sure." I answered before running after Matt and Theo. "Hi guys." I greeted coming up from behind Theo, who was walking next to Matt.

"Hi Elle." Theo greeted.

"Nice hoodie." Matt complimented with a smirk.

"Yeah, a smelly friend of mine gave it to me." I responded, teasingly.

"Why have you got Draco's hoodie?" Theodore asked kinda angry and annoyed.

"She was cold. I gave it to her." Draco spoke up, coming up to walk next to me.

"Ahh!" I screamed falling on my butt. "Where'd you come from?" I asked, looking around, up and down, side to side, as if he teleported through a hole in the wall.

"From outside." He replied with a smirk, "not from the walls, floor or ceiling. Don't worry." He reassured. Matt and Theo walked ahead of us, by now out of sight. 

"Can I have some help?" I asked still on the floor, to Draco who started to walk away. Draco paused and turned around. After a few moments of him standing there he came up with an idea. Smirking, he crouched down to my level. One second I was on the floor, the next in the arms of my best friends. "Ahh!" I squealed at the sudden contact, kicking my legs.

"Stop!" Draco demanded, walking slightly to the Great Hall. "I'll put you down back on the floor if you don't stop kicking." 

"Ugh! Fine!" I grumbled loudly. I tilted my head back. 

"We're here." Draco announced. It took nearly 10 minutes. Minutes full of playfully flirting (we do it a lot), me kicking, and moaning. It was funny. When ever I moaned, his face was slightly pink, his ears bright red. 

He dropped me right before the doors opened. Grabbing my hand and dragging me in, i saw the great hall, decorated in green, blue, red and yellow. The ceiling is enchanted to resemble the changing sky outside, with the weather mirroring the time of day and season. Long tables and benches stretch along the walls, where students sit in rows, adorned with golden plates, cups, and cutlery. The staff table, at the front of the hall, is more ornate, featuring golden chairs for the professors and teachers. Above, a balcony holds the Sorting Hat, surrounded by candles. Warm, golden light fills the room, creating a cozy atmosphere that's often lively and bustling during meals. Professor Snape, the Potions teacher and Head of Slytherin House, takes his seat at the staff table at every meal, adding to the sense of tradition and community in this iconic space.
