Last Summer Love • H. Granger {Book 1}

FØUR

Best Of Friends

Ivy walked out of the office as Draco quickly got up and went over to her. He looked over her bruised lips and smirked. "So? How'd it go?" He asked teasingly and the girl sighed.

"I was invited to dinner with the Weasley's." She said a little out of it. Draco furrowed his eyebrows and looked at her confused.

"What? How?" He asked and the girl looked at Draco in shock.

"Because Hermione will be deciding if she wants Ron or me." She said and the man raised an eyebrow.

"A week? She's going to pick in a week?" He asked as the woman looked at him with sadness, and she nods.

He sighed and pulled her under his arm. "Come on, you deserve ice cream." He whispered as she grinned softly.

"Can I get sprinkles with it?" She asked childishly as he smirked.

"Whatever you want." He said and she smiled up at him.

"Thanks, Draco. I still don't understand why people thought you were bad." She mumbled while he sighed and looked over his arm that held the scar of the dark mark.

"I wonder why too." He mumbled and near the end of the day, Ivy was in her comfortable bed, but tossing and turning. She shifted and got up in anger at herself and walked to the bathroom.

She looked over herself in the mirror once the light switch was flicked on and she sighed looking over her dark circles. The stress was killing her literally. She gripped the side of the marble counter with her hands and bit her bottom lip.

"She's going to pick you." She stated to herself and as she was doing this Draco was passing by rubbing his face until he heard her voice through the hallway bathroom. "You're the one that let her go and she will come back if she really does love you like she said." She then paused and growled slightly. "Even if Freckle face gets in the way. He wouldn't be able to let her go, so she would see that I'm better than him." She said trying to calm herself.

Draco listened closely and when he heard the water run, he stepped away and thought this through. This woman actually did love Hermione Granger more than Weasley himself. She's practically sick and nothing has even happened yet, and by the looks of the events that happened in the office he knew that she loved Ivy just as much as Ron or more.

He sighed and that's when the door opened and Ivy showed off her pale face and dark circles. "What were you doing?" She asked and Draco frowned at her.

"Ivy, come on." He said and she grinned knowing he just was taking care of her. She put her arms up and on her tippy toes.

"If you take care of me, can you pick me up?" She asked and he sighed while scooping up her legs and holding her bridal style.

She moved her face into his chest smelling the expensive cologne he always used and smiled as he was taking her up to her room. "You're such a child." He whispered and she kept her smile.

"But we are best friends." She stated and he rolled his eyes and placed her on the bed. Her eyes were blinking a couple times and she pulled the covers toward her face.

Draco kissed the crown of her head and she sighed. "Thanks, Hermione." She mumbled and Draco sighed.

"You'll get her one day, Ivy. I promise on my life." He said and the girl was already drifted off into sleep.

"I don't wanna." Ivy whined and Draco sighed.

"Ivy! You have to!" He yelled and the girl groaned while looking at the blonde.

"But I hate shopping!" She said and Draco sighed.

"We are going to a dinner party. You don't have a nice dress." He told her as she glared at him and went back to sleep.

Draco sighed and then smirked. "I could help you find a dress that even Hermione couldn't resist." He teased and the girl sat up quickly and looked over him.

"I'm in." She said and got up while they quickly got ready and the girl was looking over the dress in disgust.

"I can't believe you dragged me with you." She said while shaking her head and Draco smirked.

"Because you like Hermione, and you want to impress her. I get it." He said and shrugged. The woman sighs and the stops staring a beautiful red gown.

"Draco." She whispered and he looked at to where she was staring.

"Oh."

"Gods." She finished and Draco smiled.

"You're getting that." He said and the girl nods her head.

"Yeah, maybe you're right. Hermione won't be able to keep her hands off me." She said and smirked while they went to try on the dress.
