Conflicted Love

Gryffindor Commons; Year 1

*Angeline's POV

After we got 'finished' with Flight Class, we all went back to our common rooms for the rest of the hour. "Did you see his face? Longbottom was bloody pathetic!" Draco went on. I swear, that boy could be such a git sometimes.

"Yes. So funny." I said, walking next to Draco on my way to find Ron and Hermione. "What's wrong with you, sunshine?" Draco asked me in a a sarcastic tone. "Are you mocking me?" I smirked, though was partially annoyed. "A bit." He says simply, his hands in the pockets of his robes. "Weren't you pissed with me?" He nudged my shoulder a bit with his own. "I still am." He does the signature 'not bad' face and nods.

"I'm always mad at you." I said to him, my head staying down. "Little ol' me? I don't see why  you'd EVER me mad at me." I could just hear his smirk. I laughed once, my smile small, but pure with meaning. "I've missed this..." I said to him, looking to him a bit. He seemed to be looking back at me. A calm emotion. Just....looking at me. "Us. Our friendship....everything...." I said quietly. 

His eyes averted to the floor, and he nodded. "I know what you're thinking, Draco." I said in a sigh. "You just don't want to admit it to yourself. You missed me." I smirked at him. I could see his ears getting a bit pink from him blushing so hard. I nudged him in the shoulder like he'd done to me only a bit before.

His cheeks got a bit redder. "You did  miss me." I smiled, saying this in a mocking manner, but also in pure joy. His smile got bigger. "Malfoy missed me! Malfoy missed me!" I said in a sing-song voice to the world. "Alright! Alright! I missed you! Okay!?" He said, slightly jumping on me to put his hands over my mouth. I felt like my lungs were going to burst I was laughing so hard.

All I did was make the biggest smile to him, and averted my eyes to the floor. "So...." We said at the same time. I giggled and tucked a stray piece of hair behind my ear. He lightly laughed an actual laugh, and honestly, it was adorable.

"You're looking for Granger and Weaslebee, right?" Draco asked me, suddenly, his emotions dimming. "Yeah. But I'm not sure where they are gonna be...or, well, where they're meeting me to go to the Gryffindor commons." I explained, looking around the corner slightly. He stopped walking, and faced me. "I don't see why you'd want to meet up with them to get to the Gryffindork commons when you have me, but, I suppose my advice is to check the library." He rambled.

"Its a sweet offer, Draco, but I promised Hermione." He looked slightly disheartened to hear this, but nodded anyway. "Okay, well, I'll see you whenever then." e said and gave me a small smile, than of which I gladly returned. "Turning the corner, I headed down the hallway and into the library. Like Draco had said, Ron and Hermione sat there I the library, bickering about some odd thing like they've seemed to do quite often.
