Girl With One Eye (Draco Malfoy Love Story)

part 23

We slowly and nervously walked back to my room it was pretty much silent the entire way, it wasnt hard to notice how awlward we both felt "erm....i really need a erm...." she began "shower? I do to.......you first" "how are we gonna do this?" Sure the chain had around 3.5 meters of length but it would mean i would have to be in the same room as her while she was naked. "...ill just....sit on the toilet seat....i wont look i promise" i gulped there wasnt any other way around it, her dress was covered in soot and was notibly ruined, her hair was coated in the horrid mucky dust and her face was smudged with the same problem...i had run the risk of standing too close to her while she did the fire place and ended up coated myself. Once we arrived in the room i busied myself to rid my mind of the lewd imagines that floated through it, 'stupid hormones...' itook some towels from my draws, grabbed some clothes for us and carried them to the bathroom before getting the water running for her, i turned away from her trying to ignore the rustling sound of her clothes faling away from her as i felt my body grow warmer, she groaned in frustration behind me before her arm appeared next to me "its erm...stuck could you cut it or something?" I looked at her wrist seeing the lroblem but also the start lf my own as my eyes landed on the rest of the dress handing from its sleeve, i gulped as i felt my face heat up, with shakey hands i gently took the fabric and ripped it removing all the mesh from the top of the dress and making it strapless. She gave me a quick thank you and quickly hopped into the shower, the glass around the shower had fogged up making it impossible to see theough 'thank god!' I sighed mentally thankful it was there despite that little part of me that felt disappointed, however the silhouette of her wasnt helping me very much but no matter how hard i tried i couldnt look away. My mind bega to play tricks on me and i soon found my nose dripping a little. I tilted my head back hoping to slow it or hopefully get it to stop, my mind focused on the task at hand i failed to notice the young woman exit the shower until her voice sounded makin me jump "Oh my god Draco are you okay?!" "I-Im f-f-fine!" My voice went higher as i seen hwr in only a towel, it covered her but not enough, it came to her upper thigh and wrapped tightly around her chest sticking to her wet form, i quickly stood and waited for her to turn around, she handed me some tissues and complied, as i stripped i couldnt help but glance at her every now and then only to see her ears grow pink. I offered my wrist to her hoping she could get the sleeve off me, her hands seemed shakey but again i shrugged it off as nothing and quickly got into the shower, the soothing feeling of the water washing over me allowing me to forget everything but her for the moment, i wrapped a towel around my hips in the shower from old habbits, i stepped out not knowing she had turned around, "I-Im sorry!" Her sudden yelp made my head snap up and see her turn bright cherry red, she turned around quickly towards the wall but i found myself trying to stiffle my chuckles, i patted down my body and dried off before dressing quickly, we walked out only for the room to be filled with an awkward silence, her blushing face and fidgeting making me smile softly, i wanted to try and break that awkwardness "sooooooo...." her giggle ensued after my attempt "Draco i have one question....why on earth did you have a bikini in your room?" My eyes flew open wide and i choked on my own spit making her break out laughing "w-well you see erm..." 'ah shit....no other way to explain this...' i let out a long sigh knowing i couldnt lie about it to cover up my embarassment, "i was out shopping with my mother and....i seen it....and thought it would look nice on you so....i bought it and was going to ask you if...you wanted to go to the beach with us one day....for a holiday..." my face grew warmer as i explained it to her but she just smiled and gave me a hug "thank you, i love it" i wrapped my arms around her in an embrace, 'i missed this so much...' "i thought you'd think i was a creep for a minute there" "course not i love y-....love how considerate you are for me....your a good friend" 'was that....really all she was going to say?' She pulled away not looking at me adding to my confusion, "we...erm....we better get to the kitchen" she said as she stood suddenly, we went down to the kitchen and tied our apons on, i concentrated on peeling the potatoes 'how was she always able to peel them so quickly? She makes it look so-' she suddenly yelped cutting off my thoughts. I looked to her with worry "Tia? What did you...." i trailed off and chuckled as i noticed her adorable pouting face clutching her bleeding finger 'shes always so careful when she cooks.... what happened?' "i leave you alone for a few minutes, i swear your a spaz" i teased as she opened her her mouth to protest however i popped her finger into my mouth cleaning it of any blood that seeped out, i watched in fascination as her cheeks flushed red, i pulled her finger from my lips before looking at her again "there we go all better...." i felt captivated by those beautiful green eyes "Potter! Is that food cooking yet?!" My aunts voice called from down the hallway making us snap back to reality once again "N-Not yet! Its nearly on though!" She called back, both of us blushing madly. We soon had the food cooking and got the table set, "Celestia?" turning we found my parents "Mr. And Mrs. Malfoy! I-im sorry i tried to-" "we know dear....we are so sorry you have to live like this..." mother said sorrowfully. She approached them with a smile and took them into her arms with a warm and loving hug, i couldnt stop the longing feeling to hold her again but i had to contain myself from just wrapping my arms around her "it wasnt you who did this....this is how things were meant to be.... i just hope my brother, Axel and Midnight are okay..." "your a strong and very noble young woman Celestia....i have no doubt you will make someone a very good wife one day" father said with a warm smile and a flick of his eyes to me, i blushed and glared warningly at the pair "...maybe...but maybe not....who knows....." at her words both looked at her as i placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, "perhaps love is closer than what you think?" My mother said again making her look to her in confusion amde glare at her again, but she and father only smiled knowingly. The rest of the night went by well, she stood next to me as i  has to eat with the other death eater and Voldermort, "the food i have to say is really good" one complimented, she bowed giving her thanks before she was addressed by the man she detested "...it is very nice....but why arent you eatting little Potter?" The death eaters all stopped eatting except for myself as i knew it was safe to eat "there wasnt enough....it was simply for that reason alone and i didnt see it my place to eat with you all since im just a slave of sorts" her words had to remain surprisingly collected, "...Malfoy... you watched her prepare this?" "Yes sir, i even tasted it myself before it was dished infront of you all", i hadnt actually tried it however i knew it was safe....i trusted her with my life  "...eat it.." my aunt demanded "im sorry what?" "If theres nothing wrong with it...eat it" her gaze skimmed the table of suspicious people like my own, i took a fork full of my food and held it infront of her mouth, never moving my gaze off the table of death eaters. They seemed satisfied it wasnt poisoned and ate, however guilt pooled in my stomach as she stood...not a piece of food past her lips. "I hear you have a lovely voice miss potter....tomorrow i want you to keep us entertained during dinner" "she will ill make sure of it" i answered playing along to my role. I lead her out of the room and back to mine, when we arrived at the room the little basket i askes my parents to drop off was sitting there, i tugged her in and sat her at my desk while i took the food from it and laid it infront of her. "Whats all this for?" "I knew you wouldnt make any for yourself...so i made some for you and asked my mother to bring it up here" a smile and small laughter that followed making me nervous. "Hey dont laugh! I know its not as good as yours but i-" i began to ramble in defence only to be stopped as she held her finger over my lips "im sure itll be delicious Draco...but the reason im laughing is because, im so happy! No one but harry ever made me food and since i seen you making it in the kitchen i couldnt feel happier...thank you" she beamed at me happily making me realise the work was worth the effort if it made her that happy, she ate the food happily with small noises of enjoyment, watching her eat made me realose how hungry she was 'and she wasnt going to say anything....shes been through this before....' i had a goal in mind to make sure she never went hungry again 'not while im around'. She let out a long yawn and stretched so i took the chance to gather her in my arms quickly, she let out a small yelp and wrapped her arms around my neck clinging to me tightly, i chuckled a little secretly enjoying the feeling before sitting her on the bed and rummaging through my draws 'something that will fit her....she so tiny.........maybe...these?' I pulled out another tank top and some shorts handing them to her and turning around allowing her to change in peace, while she was changing i stripped down to my boxers and waited, she spftly tapped my back making me turn to her 'oh....my god shes adorable...' i could feel a blush coat my face again as i seen her in my clothes. "Thanks for lending me these" she said sheepishly, i nudged her over not trusting my voice and slipped under the covers with her, we turned away from eachother on oursides however sleep didnt come easy and soon i felt her began to shiver "cant sleep?" I asked only to feel her jump slightly making me try to stifle my laughter "...no i cant..." "are you cold?" "A little....ill be okay" "......come here" i shifted around to face her, once she turned around i wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her close to me, her skin setting my skin alight at the slightest touch, my heart was racing but i mentally sighed in contentment as i held her close. she nesteled into my neck making my breathing halted for a minute and gulp 'shes driving me crazy.....but...i guess thats one reason why i love her....shes so cute' i placed a small kiss on her hair and uttered a  gentle good night, i never as happy than i did with her in my arms. Soon enough the soft feeling if her soft breaths on my neck lulled me into a peaceful and blissful sleep....for the most part.
