Falling for the Enemy: Draco Malfoy Love Story

Chapter 6 - What was he playing at?

Luckily, it was a Saturday because I’d walked around the castle for 4 hours trying to compose myself. I’d not stopped crying, not because of the nightmare, but because I’d hurt Draco. Wait, why was I so upset? Why did I care about Draco this much. All he had done is cause pain in my second day at Hogwarts. But he is such a nice person, his eyes become soft when he looks at me, and his soft clear skin. NO STOP DOING THIS! I was so caught up in this battle in my mind, I hadn’t noticed i’d walked all the way back to the common room. I spoke the password and walked in.

“CASEY, OH MY GOD CASEY ARE YOU OKAY? YOU HAD ME SO WORRIED..WAIT ARE YOU STILL CRYING? OH DEAR, COME HERE” April ran towards me and embraced me into a hug.

I explained myself to her, I explained what happened in the hospital wing and then I explained what happened with Draco. She looked at me in a confused way.

“Wait, if you hung around with Malfoy when you were younger, he must of known that you were pureblood”. She had a point, that is what confused me.

We sat in silence in front of the fire when all the students started going to bed. I hadn’t noticed that it was 11pm and way after curfew. I looked and April and she nodded and we went up to our dorm. Luckily, ours was set aside from everyone else’s and we only had a dorm for 2. It was good because it meant we could have heart to hearts and funny conversations without having the feeling of other people intruding.

I fell asleep and went into the same dream. This time it was different. It wasn’t Draco who jumped in front of the curse, it was April. I managed to sleep through this nightmare and wake up at 7:00 by the sound of the shower. I waited for April to finish then I told her. She looked worried but we agreed not to tell Dumbledore as it could lead to investigating further.

3 months had passed and we were in December. Snow was falling constantly and it was like a winter wonderland outside. My grades were excellent and I was even cleverer than Hermione. She didn’t like that. I wrote to my family all the time. They were pleased I was in Slytherin and pleased with the progress I’d made. Hogwarts was really beginning to feel like home. Me and Draco were still insulting each other. He was such a cow. He was never nice to me anymore, well he was never nice in the first place, but something about him is making me very much attracted to him. I can’t tell anyone though, not even April.

“APRIL? APRIL? WHERE IS MY OWL?” I shouted at the top of my voice. April was in the common room. I could hear her running toward our dorm.

“Sorry Casey, I sent Midnight out with a letter to my parents asking them to take me home this Christmas. With you going home, I didn’t want to stay on my own”. She replied whilst panting. She was so unfit.

I nodded then we both walked down for breakfast. We heard the squawk of the owl’s flying in with mail. I noticed Midnight, and my mother’s owl Herold. It was weird to have all both my owl and mums owl coming in. Each owl dropped off a letter in front of me then swooped off. I looked at April with a dash of worry on my face. I opened the first letter off my mother;

Dear Casey,

After a long thought, we have decided instead of coming home this Christmas, we will all be going to the Malfoy’s. It has been so long since we have spent time with them and seems as you are in the same house as Draco it will be a good bonding session. I hope you are pleased with this.

I’ve heard about your Christmas ball, so in the holiday, me and you will go dress shopping and make you look beautiful. It has been such a long time since we spent some quality time together.

Love always,

Mother x

OH DEAR GOD NO! I AM NOT GOING TO MALFOYS FOR CHRISTMAS. NEVER. NO.

I looked at April who was sat next to me and I showed her the letter. She read through it and her mouth dropped. We both looked at Malfoy who was sitting across from us and along the table. I guessed he received a letter aswell as he looked disgusted. He looked up and our eyes met. Those grey eyes showed a flicker of blue, before they become cold and grey again. I looked down and I had butterflies in my stomach. Why did I feel this way? What was he doing to me.

I grabbed both letters and ran to the girls bathrooms and started crying. It was only until April found me that I remembered that I had an extra letter. I opened it and studied it, it read;

Casey,

Meet me at 12 tonight at the Astronomy Tower and don’t be late.

M.

I looked up at April, she knew exactly who sent it. What was he playing at?
