"Can I Slytherin?" - A Draco Malfoy Fanfiction

Chapter 6 - "I'm used to you turning up unexpectedly"

UPLOADING EARLY YEAH! WOO! Pic at the side of Tom felton (draco). 

Recently, waking up with a foggy mind isn't a strange thing to happen to Betty. 

She groans and rolls over.

"Never have I been a morning person," she grumbles, to who she thinks is only herself.

"You don't say."

It takes Betty a few moments to register that the voice she had just heard was in fact, Draco's. Her head snaps up and she turns to face him, in all his morning glory.

He doesn't look like he's had a minute of sleep. He has dark rings under his eyes, and his hair is all mussed up, sticking out in random directions.

"Why are you in my room?" Betty exclaims, swinging her feet over the side of the bed and massaging her temples. She can't remember anything from last night, there are patches missing from her brain, it seems. And her back hurts like hell, which isn't good, considering she has a busy day of lessons today.

"I found you on the ground last night," Draco says, his eyes full of concern. 

However Betty simply snorts. "Yeah, okay. And I'm secretly a boy." 

Draco frowns. "No, I'm serious. Do you not remember how you ended up on the floor, because I'd really like to know myself."

"Whatever, Draco," Betty sighs, "I'm done with your nonsense. I mean, a couple of days ago I'd be shocked and furthermore infuriated to find you in my room in the morning, which by the way, is against the rules, but I'm used to you turning up unexpectedly, and with bad timing."

Draco decides against trying to convince her to believe something that she has no memory of. Instead, he sits beside her on the bed, kicking off his plain black dress shoes. Last night, he hadn't changed into his pajamas, so he was fully dressed in his robes and uniform.

Betty brings a hand to her shoulders and frowns in discomfort as she presses against them with her knuckles. She must have moved around a lot last night.

Draco notices this and places a hand on hers, moving it to her side and shuffling backwards so he's behind her. He moves his hands to her shoulders and begins to massage them expertly, causing Betty to relax against his hands. 

After a while of bliss, she mumbles, "What are you doing?"

"I'm giving you a massage," Draco says.

Betty gives him a 'duh' look. "Oh, really?"

"Don't be sarcastic with me," Draco says, and she can almost hear the smile in his voice.

"Or what," she dares to say,  involuntarily beginning to grin.

"Or this."

Draco pulls her down onto the bed beside him and pins her arms there, before beginning to tickle her. She immediately begins to scream, and her arms flail about wildly, trying to stop him.

"Draco," she pants, fighting for breath, "Please... stop..."

He laughs and continues to tickle her, his hands moving quickly, and even more expertly than when he was massaging her. After a few moments she manages to grab hold of his wrists and flip him over onto his back, using all the strength she has. His eyes widen and they both pant steadily for a while, trying furiously to get their breaths back.

"We should probably head down to the Great Hall now..." Betty says slowly, her eyes fixed on Draco below her. His eyes connect with hers and he furrows his eyebrows, a smirk slipping onto his face.

She is very aware of the position that they are in, that somehow doesn't feel awkward, at all, really.

 Ok, so maybe it does now, a little.

"Yeah," Draco says slowly, "That would probably be the best thing to do."

They lock gazes for a few more moments, until they are suddenly interrupted.

"What on earth!" yells Mina, her high-pitched voice startling both of them. Betty immediately jumps away from Draco and pulls her hands to her shoulders uncomfortably, struggling to avoid his penetrating gaze.  

"We were just... uh..." Betty tries and fails to think of an excuse.

"Betty was just... uh... looking at my teeth!" Draco exclaims, "Yes, she was just checking to see if I had any cavities or perhaps any tooth decay. You know, because you should always be aware of the state of your teeth. It's a very important thing, teeth..." 

"Yes okay, Draco," Betty cuts in, trying to avoid laughter. How did he come up with things like that?

Mina doesn't look convinced. She shakes her head slowly, giving us each an individual once-over.

"So does Draco have any tooth decay or cavities?" she finally asks, and Betty snorts, before straightening her face completely.

"He's fine," she manages to splutter. Mina shakes her head slowly, looking utterly confused, before finally heading out of the door, down to the Great Hall. 

Betty and Draco take one look at eachother, before they both burst out laughing again. Draco lets his body fall fully onto the bed, his head now against the pillow. 

"We really should go down to breakfast though," he sighs.

"Yes, well, I need to get dressed, so..."

"Like I said before," Draco cuts in, "Be my guest."

Betty sighs. She definitely should've seen that one coming.

"Turn away, if you please" is the last thing she says.

Draco turns away.

In front of him, is a mirror. 

Oops! You didn't think that last bit through, did you Betty? Muhahaha! HOPE YOU ENJOYED. Sorry it was quite short. It's half 1 so I'm gonna catch some sleep. ALSO, my aim was to upload midday (today because it's past midnight) so yeah, I'm uploading now, bitchez! Get me!
