Back to Black- Draco Malfoy

3| feeling good

Malfoy Manor. Draco Malfoy,my best friend. My favorite family..or so I thought..

"Dray stop!!!" I squeal as draco tickles me.

"Never briar! You can't stop me!" He laughs.

"Oh yeah? Wanna bet?" I plead.

"Like you could do anything!" Draco responds.

With that I flip us so I'm on top of him instead of the other way around. 8 years old and we're best friends...best of friends.

Draco Malfoy is the only one I've known since I was little and being 8 years old that's a lot.

I just wish he kne-

"Malfoy!" Theo screeched. He said it crystal clear so he would answer quicker. He was almost done with this stupid game of switching in and out of reality and fake.

"What?" Draco responds. A slight edge of anger in his voice from being nagged for the past hour about it. He couldn't help the thought of me in his mind, he couldn't escape it.

"That's her? Black, I mean?" Blaise adds.

"Yeah..or at least I believe so...she's all grown up and she's.." Draco states. He didn't get to finish his sentence, as Theo finished it for him.

"Fucking gorgeous is what she is." Theo says in awe. Draco immediately had a stern look on his face and slaps him in the arm making Theo bring up his hand.

"Whatever." Draco ends the conversation and takes a sip of firewhiskey. Theo knows he pissed Draco off but it was just friendly guy gestures in his mind.

Theo and Blaise look at each other with a knowing look..like there was something else there, but they couldn't quite find what it was and they were already too tired to figure it out at this moment.

------------------------------------------------------------------

As Astoria pushes hair out of my face, I subtly thank her and take a sip of my drink.

"You know Briar..Malfoy hasn't stopped making googly eyes at you since you got here.." Pansy says. This sentence makes my eyes widen and I get flashbacks to us, quickly shutting them back down.

I spit out my drink a little and looks wide eyed at her. I couldn't believe she had just said that..about Malfoy of all people in this giant castle. Of course it has to be him.

"What are you talking about pans?" I nervously let out. I hope she didn't notice the clear shake in my voice. It would give me away, just a little bit.

"Oh nothing..just the Slytherin Prince himself has been eyeing you like a wolf eyes meat. Nothing else." Pansy says with a smile. This sentence scared the skin off of my skeleton. I just couldn't believe it.

"Don't worry babe I'm sure it'll be okay, maybe he's just interested cause your new?" Astoria claims.

"Yeah...cause I'm new..." I state then look over at draco and make eye contact and sip my drink. I know and always will, something they don't. I'm not new to all 3 of those guys.

Noticing I'm running low on my drink, I tell Astoria and Pansy that I will catch them later and come right back, but I need a refill. As I make my way over to the drink table,I feel a hand gripping my hip tight.

I turn around and see a boy who doesn't look familiar until he talks.

"Hey sweetheart..all alone?" The boy says seductively. I turn around and immediately recognize the face I see in front of me.

"Pucey. I should've known. What do you want?" I snap. We never were good friends, and spent most time against each other, rather than hanging out. There had always been a little fight between us.

"Woah black calm down, it's just me.." Adrian says back. I shoot him a glare that makes him smile. I roll my eyes and sternly look at him.

"I'll ask you one more time Pucey. What do you want?" I say and take his hand off of me. I flick it back to his side, if I want to be touched, it will sure as hell never be Adrian.

"Just wanted to...catch up..you know?" He states. I roll my eyes and can't believe what he's saying. We haven't seen each other for years, we were never friends. He's now acting like we're all buddy buddy?

"Not happening Adrian. Nice try though." I start to walk away but he grabs my wrist. I glare at his hand and look at him in the eyes, before trying to break free from his iron grip.

"Briar. Listen to me. I can show you a good time..maybe one you'll enjoy." He scoots closer and almost puts his lips on mine. I turn my head to the side so he couldn't reach anything or any more part of me I didn't want him to touch.

Right before he tries to kiss me,he gets a left hook to the face and his grip on my wrist lets go and loosens as he's knocked over. I look up from him and see a familiar boy. Draco...Malfoy.

He looks up from Adrian on the ground and looks at me sternly. We just hold eye contact and furrow our brows in silence while Adrian gets up with a bloody lip and storms off.

"Briar." He says.

"Draco." I respond.

We both have serious facial expressions and aren't too fond to see each other. There is something unexplained here..something more. Dangerous, maybe?

Right as I was about to talk, he takes a hold of my wrist harshly and drags me out to a close corridor.

"Now wanna explain to me what you were doing with Pucey, Black?" He says with slight activation in his tone, making me scoff.

"I didnt ask him to hang out..he just came over." I snap back. He had to have known it wasn't me who enforced that to myself. Astoria and Pansy both did say he's been staring at me all night.

He laughs in annoyance, "Briar. I don't believe that even for a second." He claims. I clench my jaw and just stare at him in absolute disbelief.

"Well you should cause it's the truth. Now, I'm going back to the party." As I walk away I hear him say something behind me. Making me slow down my pace, I listen.

"Stubborn as always Black." Draco exclaims. I chuckle softly, but not enough to let him hear me. If he did, he would tease me nonstop and use it against me.

"Not ever as stubborn as you Malfoy." I snap back and throw up the middle finger behind me as I walk away.

I can hear the soft chuckle that came from his lips. The same soft laugh that makes my knees weak and the blood to rush to my cheeks. I can feel a small smirk creeping up, but I quickly shut it down and don't allow him to win over my heart..again.
