Anna's P.O.V
It has been a week since Draco told me he loved me.
Since then we have stolen glances at each other in the halls and at dinner.
Held hands under the table during potions class.
And I even got to peck his cheek one time when we passed in an empty hallway.
I know it sounds horrid that this is our relationship now.
Hardly seeing each other and barley talking to one another but it's for the best.
It's the day before Christmas break now and im excitied to go back home and see my family.
Draco, on the other hand. Is staying at Hogwarts over the break and I can understand why.
Getting up late yet again, I change fairly quickly and head down the steps.
With my stomach growling, I frown. I did really miss breakfast.
Running into Potions class just in time, I slip into my seat.
Draco was a few minutes behind and fell in his place next to me.
Sam gave me a dirty look and I couldn't help but shiver every time his cold eyes looked my direction.
Glancing back down at my desk, I notice a bright red apple in front of me.
My favorite.
Picking it up, I smile before I take a big bite out of it.
Looking back and forth I made sure the coast was clear, "Thanks for the apple" I whispered, before kissing Draco on the cheek.
He was surprised but it was a good surprise.
"You're very welcome love" He whispered back down at me.
Wanting to say more, I was cut short by Sam ripping my arm toward him.
"What is up with you and Malfoy?" He asked, snarling through his teeth when he mentioned Draco's name.
"He's been my friend since last year. He got me an apple, no big deal."
Gripping tighter, I had a flashback from the first time I saw Sam in this class.
I ripped my arm out of his grasp and watched as Draco studied my face, he knew I was upset.
"Ok class we will be making a Cure for Boils today. Books open to page 305, begin." Snape ordered.
Having to work in threes, I knew today wasn't the day for a project.
Draco opened his book and started gathering the ingrediants while Sam helped him.
Coming back, I opened my book to read off the instructions. Getting to page 305, the only phrase throughout the whole book was
"You are Trash"
"You......" I started to say, before trailing off.
"What's the directions?" Sam asked, chuckling a big under his breath.
"I ummmm......I just..." I stammered.
"What's wrong, did you forget to put your contacts in today?" Draco asked concerned. "Here let me"
He looked down at my book and pointed to where the directions were supposed to be. Seeing the embaressing phrase, he turned on Sam.
"You think this is funny?" He spat.
"Hey, the truth hurts" Sam laughed.
"Then this is going to be very painful" Draco pulled his wand out of his pocket and sent Sam against the wall.
Snape didn't even look up.
"Draco don't." I said, putting my hand on his arm.
Looking back at me, he lowered his arm and put his wand back in his pocket.
"Fine"
At the end of class. I walked out and headed down the path through the courtyard.
"Hey Malfoy" I heard Sam call.
Looking behind me, I saw Draco a few feet away and Sam coming up close behind.
Hiding behind a support beam, I spied on the two boys.
"Anna's mine. Has been before she even came to this place. Don't get involved with her." Sam threatened.
"I think it's up to Anna who she wants to associate herself with and by the looks of it. It isn't you" Draco Replied.
"Stupifiy" Sam stated, holding his wand out toward Draco.
Draco hit the wall behind him and crashed down on the ground.
"Expel...." I heard Draco start to say but was stopped by Sam producing a curse.
Draco screamed in pain and it reminded me of when I first went to Malfoy Manor.
Now doing the binding spell, Sam hit him in the face.
"There, now lets see what she thinks about you without that pretty face" Sam huffed out of breath.
Watching Sam walk away, I ran to Draco.
His face was swollen and scratched. Pulling him up, I tried to support his body weight but he was just way bigger then me.
Looking toward the open hall way, I saw Fred and George chatting up a few 6th year girls.
"FRED, GEORGE. I NEED YOU" I yelled, motioning them over.
"Uhh, what the bloody hell happened to him?" George asked, pointing down at Draco.
"No time. Help me carry him up to the dorms, that's where my wand is." I stated.
"Never thought id live to see the day we were helping out Malfoy" Fred said under his breath, lifting Draco up by the arm.
Carring him up to my bed, I pulled my wand out of my nightstand and took a deep breath.
I wasn't the best healer but I could mend some of it.
"Repair" I stated, focasing on the big gashes.
Watching them close up and now become scratches, I turned my focas on his broken nose.
Setting it straight once more, I smiled knowing that I did alright.
Still with scratches and minor cuts, I got the cleaning solution and hand towel from the bathroom.
Dabbing some on the towel, I carefully cleaned his face.
Taking his tie and shoes off, I drapped the blanket over his body and sat down in the chair next to the bed. Grabbing his hand, I layed my head on the bed and let myself get a few minutes of shut eye.
"What is he doing here" Hermione asked, shaking me awake.
"Huh..........what?" I asked in a sleepy voice.
"Malfoy. What's wrong with him?"
"He got in an un-fair fight" I stated, looking at Draco's wounded face.
"Better not let Harry know he's up here. He fancies you, you know." She stated, wagging her finger at me.
"Does not" I said, in a defensive tone. "Harry Potter could never have feelings for me. We are just friends and he knows that."
"Whatever you say" Hermione giggled, rolling her eyes at me. "Cedric, Harry, and Draco. Next thing we know, Ron will be confessing his love for you"
"NO, NO, NO! Don't worry Hermione, Ron is all yours!" I squealed, laughing along with her.
"And you're all mine" I heard Draco say in a horse voice.
"Hey! You're up!" I exclaimed.
"And you're in that chair. Why are you in that chair when you can be right here." He stated, patting the bed beside him.
Laying down next to him, I layed my head on his chest.
"Draco" Hermione said, nodding her head toward him. "You've seen better days"
"Not so hot anymore." He chuckled, tickling my sides.
I squirmed in his arms and he attacked my face with small kisses.
"Vile" Hermione stated, walking into the bathroom.
"Hey, I want to ask you something" I paused, unsure if I should.
"Ask me anything Love"
"Well, I know your not going to your parents for break and I dont want you here all alone on Christmas. So, I wondered if maybe you wanted to come home with me for Christmas break?" I winced my eyes shut and he chuckled.
"I thought you were never going to ask" He said, giving me a light kiss on the lips.
