CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: A CHEAT

~Draco~

"Crabbe, Goyle !!" I shouted for them to wake up.
"Wha- huh ?" Goyle said, rubbing his eyes.
"Get up you fools !!"
"We're up, were up !"
"It's eight. Breakfast was ten minutes ago. I asked you nitwits to wake me earlier." I was furious. I missed BREAKFAST !!!
"Sorry. Sorry, boss" Crabbe whimpered.
"Yeah. You uh-kept is up all night...you know...with your- snoring" Goyle managed. I was so angry, I did the bag bogey hex on the both of them.

"AHH ! BOSS !!" Goyle screamed, but I ignored him. I walked out of the dormitory and into the common room. Someone was sitting by the green fire.

Beautiful, isn't it ???

"Gideon, why aren't you at lessons ?" I asked my brother. He was startled at first but then, calmed down when he saw me.
"Oh. It's you. I was just thinking.." He drifted off.
"About what ?"
"Nothing"
"Okay. Well, I'm just going to get to potions. See you"
"Okay. Bye"

I left the common room and skipped to the potions classroom. I was sure that Snape wouldn't mind if I was a bit late, right ?
"Draco, have a seat. You're lucky I am in a really good mood...thanks to Potter here. He was dangling in the air by the ankle. I pretended to snicker which made the rest of the Slytherin's to do so.
"Thank you sir" I said through gritted teeth.
I sat beside Pansy( the girl I fancy) who giggled and blushed at once.
"Hello, Draco...why were you late ?"
"Oh. Well, those idiots didn't wake me..why did you miss me?" I teased. She giggled once more before saying "Maybe".
"God, Malfoy. You really have got to work on your flirting. It's bloody horrible." A voice said. I wheeled around to find that Mudblood Granger and Weasley.
"Oh Ronnie-Wonnie...I'm sorry. I don't see that you have even have a girl to flirt with, so why judge me ?"
His face turned red and turned to Hermione who was confused. Yes, it's true... I've figured out that Weasley fancies Granger. Too bad. Granger would never accept him as a boyfriend.
"Git" I heard Weasley mutter.
"WEASLEY, GRANGER... SHUT YOUR TRAPS, YOU TWO HAVE ALREADY LOST FIFTY POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR EARLIER, DO YOU WANT ME TO MAKE IT ANOTHER FIFTY ?" Snape spat and the two of them shook their heads vigorously.
Pansy moved closer to me and was practically breathing on my neck. Her breath smelled of strawberry and mint. 
This girl just takes my breath away. She turned to me and I wink, causing her to giggle slightly. Pansy Parkinson will be the death of me. She's bloody gorgeous.
Tomorrow was the first trip to Hogsmeade. We're third years, so this is the first time ever we're going there. I just can't wait. I'll have to get a date though. That'll make it more fun. I'm already bored being around Crabbe and Goyle all the time.
Hey, why not ask Pansy ?
Brilliant !!!
But when ?
What if she says no ?
"Draco, are you okay ? You seem tensed" she touched my arm with her gentle fingers and made goosebumps to appear on my skin.
"Oh. I was just thinking about our first trip to Hogsmeade " I said.
"I see. Who are you taking ?" She asked, excitedly.
"Well, since you asked... How would you do the honors of being my date?"
I grinned at her and she returned one.
"I would love too" she kissed me on the cheek, which made my cheeks burn up. Bloody hell.
"Parkinson... Malfoy, please. This is a classroom. Not a place for you to-never mind. Just stop whatever you're doing" Snape said coldly.
"Maybe it is a place to flirt ?" I said winking at her.

~Pansy~

He winked at me and I blushed, again. I keep looking at his beautiful eyes. His perfect hair and pale skin. It just takes my breath away. And the best part is, HE WANTS ME TO BE HIS DATE !!!
I can't help the fact that Hermione Granger use to like him. I think she still does. "I'm over Malfoy. I'm going for a certain Red-Head now" was what she said a week ago. I don't believe her. Who could get over THE Malfoy ?
Anyways, even if she still didn't get over him, it's not like Draco would go for her anyways. It's ridiculous.
Draco's all mine. Just mine alone. 
"Pansy ?" Draco said, bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Wha- yes ?"
"Everything okay ?"
"Yes. "
"Excited for our date ?"
"Definitely"
"Good. I'll see you later" he said picking up his books and walking out of the classroom. What ! Class is over already !!? Shit.
"Millicent !! MILLICENT !!!" I shouted after my best friend.
"What ?"
"Draco-"
"Asked you on a date, I know" she said bitterly. What ? What's wrong !! Is she angry with me ?
She huffed and walked away.
"What's wrong with her ?" I whispered.
"Don't you see ? She likes Draco too, but then he asked you and now she's upset. You never told her you like Malfoy did you ?" Goyle said stepping out of the shadows.
"No"
"Well, that's why you've got to apologize" Goyle said.
"No. I am not. Im not sorry at all" I spat and walked away. Draco would never like Millicent. She's fat, dumb and most of all, ugly.
I reached the Common room a few minutes later. I needed to grab my transfiguration books. We had that very subject next, with Gryffindor. Great, Granger.
I somehow, couldn't find my books. I spent at least fifteen minutes looking for them. I just had forty five minutes left of transfiguration. Should I just head to class ?
I decided to just do so. I speed-walked down the corridor and bumped into- Draco💘💘💘
He smiled at me and said" skipping class ?"
"No. I was just looking for my books. Are you skipping, though ?"
"Yes. Care to join me ?"
"Sorry. I can't." I walked away with an apologetic look. I didn't want to get detention again. Draco knew better though. He's already got three detentions this week.

McGonagall forgave me for being late and I took my seat, next to Kiley.

•••TIME SKIP •••

Class was finally over and I was looking everywhere for Draco. I searched the common room. The black lake. His dormitory, most of the classes. He wasn't to be seen anywhere. Where could this boy be ?
I decided to search the fifth floor. That was the only place I hadn't searched yet. On my way,
I heard morning sounds coming from the nearby broom cupboard. I had a nasty feeling and I opened. My eyes welled up with hot tears as I watched Draco kiss another girl. The girl noticed me and stopped to glare. Draco realized that I was watching and said "Pansy, it's not what it looks lik-"
"You shut up !!! Don't ever speak to me again. I turned to the girl. I recognized her eyes immediately. I couldn't believe my eyes...
