In love with the badboy

Chapter 8 ~ Saved but drunk

A/N : Awww we get to see Draco's sweet side in this chapter

"Petrificus totalus!", Malfoy shouted and the boy fell on the floor, paralized. "You better stay away from her...Crabbe."

WHAT ? CRABBE ? I didn't know this guy, so how on earth could it possibly be him?

"You stink like polyjuice potion Crabbe!" Malfoy was yelling at the boy, still pointing his wand at him even though he was already laying on the floor. "Did you seriously think you could ever get a girl like Alice by turning into someone else? She is worth a thousand times more than you could ever be. By the way she is not available. Not for you anyway!"

I still had to do my best to take everything in...CRABBE? I knew this boy had seemed familiar in a bad way. And I had always known that Crabbe was a pervert, but I would have never expected anyone to do something like...this. I had never been so shocked as I was right now. I felt shocked and relieved at the same time, for my savior had come just in time. I tried to get my sobbing under control but I was too traumatized to do...anything.

"Alice?" Malfoy asked softly. I hadn't noticed him coming closer to me. "Alice are you alright? Please stop crying." I forced myself to look into his eyes, he was looking so concerned.

"If you hadn't found me..." I started but didn't continue. I didn't even want to know what would have happened if he hadn't found me.

"But I did find you didn't I ?", he said gently.

I started to relax a little more. Carefully he moved the strap of my bra on my shoulder again.

"I will always do my best to protect you Alice," he said, his eyes looking right into mine. I don't know if it was the alcohol or not but I felt my knees getting weak. Draco was so caring and nice to me all of the sudden.

"This is actually the first time ever you said my name, do you know that?" I asked him. He always addressed me as stupid or Potter. He rolled his eyes at me in a playful manner.

"Come on you silly, let's get you out of here!" He put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me further into the corridor. When I started walking I slipped and would have fallen if Malfoy hadn't caught me just in time before I hit the ground.

"Wow easy," he said. I tried my best to stay on my feet rather than on the ground. The alcohol had hit me harder now than ever. "How much exactly did you drink?"

"Nothing," I said but of course he didn't buy it. And even though I tried to sound as convincing as possible, my words came out in a slur. Malfoy put his arm around me to support me and we started walking.

We came into a corridor with many doors, he was taking me to his room. He let me go so he could open his door but as soon as he did I got dizzy again and held on to the door so I wouldn't fall.

"Oopsie daisy," I said giggling when I was stable again. Draco started laughing. Not his usual mean laugh, but a laugh I liked. One that made him look even more handsome than ever. He supported me again and took me inside. He carried me bridal style, put me down on his bed and started walking around his room. He seemed to be deep in thought.

Any other time he'd put me on his bed I would get nervous as hell, or at least suspicious. I didn't now. I couldn't really explain it but somehow I felt totally safe. Right now, with him, I knew I was alright and I felt instantly better.

He was pacing around in his room. I watched him for several minutes, not wanting to disturb him. He really was handsome, the most handsome boy I knew to be specifically. I knew I wouldn't admit this in a sober state because we were blinded by irritation for each other, but it was true. He was...HOT!
