Chapter 72: Loves keen sting

~•~

After waking up at around four in the morning and taking a small dose of Sleeping Draught to settle herself again, Olivia finally woke at just past half seven. Her heavy eye lids fluttering open as she sank into the warmth of Draco's chest, his arm wrapped protectively around her stomach. The steady rise and fall of his chest indicating he was still sleeping.

The two had been up into the early hours of the night, settling at a little close to three. He'd also woken up when she began to stir and it had taken him a lot longer than her to fall back asleep. She turned slightly to see the sunlight pooling through the window and framing his face. His lips were parted slightly as he slept while his over grown platinum blond hair fell messily into his eyes.

A soft smile played on her lips before she carefully and unwillingly moved out of the boy's hold to shower, ready for the day ahead. She stood under the hot water for quite some time after she had finished, thinking back to what Draco had told her last night. That he'd rather die knowing he protected her. It was something the girl didn't want because then she'd be the cause for his death, something she wanted to avoid.

She stepped out of the shower after cleaning her body and washing her hair. Wrapping the towel around herself she brushed her teeth before spitting into the sink and walking out into the bedroom where Draco was still soundly sleeping.

She shook her head at the boy before turning to her drawers pushed up against the wall closest to the door and searched through them for her underwear. A raspy, slightly husky voice filled her ears during her search, "Good morning." She heard Draco muse from behind her and could only guess he was smirking to match.

She pulled her underwear out and closed the drawer, turning to face the boy still in her bed and leaning against the chester drawers. She folded her arms and smirked slightly, "Morning."

Draco hummed, his eyes squinting slightly from the morning sun shining in them, "Hmm, why did you get out of bed?"

"Because, unfortunately, we have to face the real world."

"Can't it wait?"

"If it could do you think I would be stood here?" She asked in a teasing manner while raising a brow.

A small chuckle passed Draco's lips as he fell onto his back, "I'm still too tired for you to be teasing me this early in the morning."

Olivia shook her head while laughing herself, she pushed off the drawers and walked back into the bathroom to change. She put the toilet seat down and sat on it, dropping her towel to the floor while putting her underwear and bra on. She had her shirt on but unbuttoned and was putting her leg into her tights when Draco shuffled in sleepily, wearing only his boxers from the night before.

She stood up, pulling the tights over her hips and then slid her skirt on as he made his way over to her. He placed his hand either side of her hips on the counter, effectively caging her in, "Why can't you come back to bed?" He asked, his tone still slightly groggy as he pressed his lips to her bare neck.

"I already told you, besides we have classes today. You'll be lucky enough to be ready before they start."

"I don't care about classes." He mumbled into her neck.

"Draco." She protested but the boy placed his lips over hers to silence her.

He pulled away and pouted slightly, "Please?"

She shook her head, "We need to go. You need to stop pestering me and leave me alone."

Draco groaned, dropping his head back and pushing off the counter. He walked into his own room to retrieve a clean set of clothes. Olivia grabbed her wand that sat on the side and muttered a spell under her breath to dry her hair before buttoning her shirt to the top and fixing her tie around her neck.
