Second Chances: A Draco Malfoy Love Story

Chapter 22

                "Baaaaaaabe, pleeeeeease. I can't look at arithmancy anymore." Draco whined, attempting to force the book closed, though Kyra's hand stopped him. They had come home from the cabin not long after their fight had been resolved. She had insisted he spend time studying now, seeing as his next few days were due to be extremely busy and emotionally taxing.

"You need to study for this test! If you fail another test, you aren't going to pass this semester!" Kyra tried her hardest to be serious but his pout was making it increasingly difficult. He huffed, sitting back, accepting his fate. Kyra grinned in triumph, though it was short lived.

Draco suddenly lurched forward, pushing her backwards onto the couch, laying on top of her. He dusted kisses all over her face, making her giggle, trying to push him off. Taking her hands, he pinned them above her, kissing her harder. She felt herself getting swept up in him, kissing him back with fervor. He moved one hand down to run his hands over her sides and under her shirt.

The door creaked open, a slew of voices suddenly filling the dorm. Kyra's surprise jerked her up, forcing Draco to tumble to the floor. George stepped into the room, eyebrows raised, a broad smile lighting up his face.

"You know, Kyra, your room is literally ten feet from you. My sister is sleeping on that couch! You dirty dogs!" Heat rose to her face rapidly, looking away, a smile playing at her lips as she tried not to laugh.

"Okay, Georgey, I'll just pretend I didn't catch you and Sophie snogging on this couch just last week." George beamed, though Sophie blushed ferociously.

"Fair point, I'll concede this time but next time, I promise I shall triumph!" Kyra chuckled, pulling Draco back up onto the couch beside her. He looked frustrated, though she wasn't sure if it was due to the fact that they'd been interrupted or if it was because she was going to force him to get back to Arithmancy now.

They spend the remainder of the night huddle on the couch, Kyra attempting to get him to focus and Draco desperately trying to distract her. As the girls began to file in for bed, Kyra begrudgingly agreed to set him free from his arithmancy hell.

They stood, sauntering to the door, where he leaned against the wall, holding her hands in his. He lifted them, leaving small kisses on them.

"You should join me. I'm quite certain going to bed won't be nearly as nice now that I know how wonderful it is to go to sleep with you there." Kyra gave him a lopsided grin as he raised his eyebrows. He was absolutely correct. The previous night had been wonderful for many reasons, falling asleep in his arms definitely being one of them.

"I don't know that Marcus would approve of that." She scolded with a smirk. A brilliant smile came to his face then.

"We will just have to head to the nearest broom closet then!" He exclaimed, grabbing her hand and pulling her out the door. Kyra giggled, pulling him back and kissing him gently.

"Very funny, Malfoy." She mused, pretending to glare at him. "Now get to bed, we have to be up early tomorrow." His familiar pout reappeared and Kyra giggled, pushing his shoulder back. "I mean it, you. Get out of here." He dramatically looked away from her, unable to hide his smile.

"Yes dearrrrrr." He drawled, walking across the hall, still holding onto her hand tightly, keeping his eyes trained off to the side. Kyra rolled her eyes, pulling him to her one last time to kiss him deeply, wrapping her arms around him. He quickly followed suit. Breaking their kiss slowly, she kept her arms around him.

"Good night, sweetie." She gave him another quick peck. He rested his forehead on hers, a vague smile playing on his lips.

"Good night, doll." The edge of her lips quipped up at his gruff voice, her eyes locked with him, unable to look away. With a final kiss, he pulled away from her, heading back to his dorm. Kyra stepped back into her room, quickly retreating to bed, thoughts of him swirling in her mind, a smile plastered to her face.
