MUDBLOOD ➼ Draco Malfoy

13

The alarm in my shriek caused Archie to panic and shoot straight up from his slumber.

Seeing Archie inches away from my face when I woke was a shock, to say the least. I thought he went to his own dorm last night, but apparently we eventually passed out from exhaustion.

We were both still dressed, our hair all over our heads, and even my mascara was smeared all over my face. We looked like a wreck, honestly.

"What! What is it?" Archie yelped in distress. He looked like he was about to take action and make a run for it or something.

"Uh- Sorry, we fell asleep on accident- you're not supposed to be here. What's the time?"

"I'd assume we're late."

Archie sprinted to my mirror to flatten his hair down. I sprinted to grab my brush and run it through my hair, making it untangled, but still frizzy. I have no time to worry about it. I washed my face off and didn't even bother to put on a new layer of makeup.

"You ready?" The blonde asked, grabbing his bag and handing me mine.

"Yeah." I said quickly.

When we hastily paced in the common room, there wasn't a soul in sight- everyone was gone and in their classrooms.

Since we had the same classes together- we rushed to astronomy side by side.

It seemed like we horrified everyone by busting through the doors and into the room. They all looked at us in awe of our appearance. Even Draco was in shock.

Hoping the teacher would ignore us, I sped to my seat with Archie following behind, sitting with me.

"Where were you two?" Professor Sinistra confronted the two of us, exactly what I was hoping she wouldn't do.

After I realized Archie wasn't going to talk, I spoke up.

"We lost track of time, ma'am."

"Well, make sure you never, "Loose track of time," again."

To my surprise, she went on with teaching class.

Draco's eyes met mine for seconds, before I pulled away to listen to the teacher.

His hair was perfect, not a strand out of place, and his plump lips were pulled into a tight, thin line.

As class drug on, I gained many glances from classmates because I look so bad- but... I don't care, completely. Why should I worry about what those people think about me? They already hate me enough.

Draco tapped his foot rapidly the entire time, honestly, it annoyed me. I wanted to shout at him to stop, but Sinistra was already angry with me.

When we were released to eat in the great hall, Draco quickly caught up with Archie and I. I could hear his shoes clicking quickly as he paced. He was now behind us, and it took everything within me to not punch his dumb face right there. He's seriously getting on my nerves.

"You both look pretty rough- had a fun night together? Man, Vic, you really do snog every guy you come in contact with." He snickered as his other friends ganged in, laughing in a similar way.

"You're disgusting." I spat, while not changing my pace. Archie's blush blazed across his face.

"Oh- looks like the Hufflepuff gave us the answer." Draco smirked. "You're the one whose disgusting."

"Whats it to you?" I spat.

Draco's laughed boomed causing even more people to look in our direction.

"Cause you kissed me, too. I'm surprised you didn't force me to go farther than that. Aye- Mudblood number two, did you know that? Yeah, she forced herself on me like a pathetic puppy looking for affection. Probably what she's doing with you- I'd stay away from her if I was you."

I stopped walking, and looked Draco straight in the face.

"I never kissed you- okay? I know you try to push it off, but I know the truth- You kissed me, Draco. Stop trying to protect yourself all of the time, you coward." I practically yelled in his face, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

Apparently, even Draco was shocked by my words. His mouth was agape, along with every other persons in the room.

"Merlin just, shut up. I- I don't have time for this." Draco shook his head and walked off.

Draco wasn't in any more classes after that. I didn't see him at all.
