Enchanted ──── Draco Malfoy

chapter ten

chapter ten : it's a date?

worried eyes focused on harry as he layed slumberly in the medical rooms bed. george, fred, sapphire, ron and hermione sat around him. sapphires heart pounding hoping for harry to be okay. his eyes slatterly battered as he sat up slowly, sighs of relief being released

"thank god you're okay harry" sapphire hugged him gently, him hugging her back a small smile arising on his face.

"what happened?" he questioned, fixing his glasses so they where aligned with his face

"dementors got you, didn't they" fred joked, tapping him lightly

"dumbledore was fuming. he sent them straight off, they're not meant to be on the grounds after all" hermione answered, tugging on the bottom of her shirt "you are okay aren't you"

"the best i can be due to the circumstances, who won?" he asked, looking at hermione for answers

"harry.. no one blames you, you know?" she replied, an emphathetic expression on her face

"harry, by the way. you're broom. it's
abit-" ron unsure on what to say next lifted his broom, in multiple broken pieces

"great way to start the season!" george laughed, fred the only one laughing with him. a sapphire letting out a small smile, not being able to contain her fondness of the twins

"i best be going, pansys most likely wondering where i am" sapphire shrugged, saying her goodbyes before leaving the group and making her way back to her common room. pansy wasn't really looking for her or wondering where she could be. she just wanted to see draco but couldn't express her true feelings towards his enemies

she really enjoyed his company, he was a great friend she often thought

she made her way into the common room. the candles lit the room beautifully. a strong smell of worn leather and an earthy  aroma of moss and dirt lingered. the smell of the black lake often making its way to the common room

draco sat by himself on the couch, a few other students sprawled across the room chatting and giggling to one another

sapphires sat besides him, he looked up defensively realising it was her, his gaze softened. "not seen you in awhile hasting" he smirked

"what? since defense against the dark arts?" she joked, he playfully hit her making her smile, hitting him back gently

they began pushing and shoving each other playfully, him getting her into a headlock and her pleading him to stop, tapping him profusely

he let her go, she let out a breathe and sat back onto the couch with him

"see what happened to harry?" she asked, beginning to play with her anklet, not looking directly at him

"yeah i saw alright. potter had it coming." he sat back, a sour look appearing on his face. she rolled her eyes and scoffed and looked towards him

"god. you boys and your rivalry so pathetic"

"it's not. it's serious" he fixed his hair, closing his eyes as he layed further back "just glad it wasn't us playing today, you know?"

"you'd cry if a dementor came near you" she laughed, he rolled his eyes in response

" would not"

"you would"

" nuhuh"

" uhuh"

"nuhuh"

"uhuh"

they went back and forth for a moment, he layed his back onto the couch and looked her in the eyes, studying her face all he could see was perfection. the little beauty spot above her lip, her button nose, siren eyes that you could get lost in, soft and delicate clear skin.

" i'm glad it wasn't you playing you know. if you where the one who the dementors tormented i would have ended up fighting them all" she joked, brushing a piece of her hair behind her ear

"well aren't you cute" he laughed, making her blush slightly

"oh i was meaning to ask you by the way. we're going hogsmeade soon arent we?" he began, almost trying to avoid what he was going to say next

"yeahhh?" she raised an eyebrow

"this time. instead of me going with fortis and the lads. or you and pansy or you and potter. how about we go together?"

"it's a date!" she joked, nodding her head

"it's a date." he smiled.
