Draco Malfoy

Homecoming

"I can't believe it's tomorrow evening!" Cheryl squealed and hung her cute white dress on the mirror. "I'm so excited!"

Freja, Lorie and I laughed at her enthusiasm. She really had been looking forward to the homecoming and now she was hyped! Especially because her crush Ron Weasley had asked her to come with him.

"Who are you gonna take, Freja?" Cheryl asked and straightened the dress with a hand.

"No one. I'll just walk with Lorie and (Y/N) unless they can pull their hair together and ask their crushes."

I felt my face beaten up. Just the thought of Malfoy and I going together to the homecoming made my heart flutter.

"Forget it," Lorie said. "Hermione isn't into girls anyway."

I put a hand on her knee and she smiled at me. I felt so sorry for Lorie. She ha come out of the closet as gay last year and it had really taken hard on her.

"We'll go together all three then," I said with a comforting voice.

"No no no!" Freja said and interrupted us. "You are going to ask Malfoy today."

"As if!" I said. "I'm way too shy."

"I can do it for you," Cheryl said.

"That's just childish."

"Aren't you childish?"

"Asshole!" I exclaimed and threw a pillow at her.

"See it like this.." Freja said. "If you're not asking him, we'll do it for you."

She smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"Are you guys blackmailing me?"

"Maybe."

Lorie started to laugh and Cheryl and Freja exchanges impertinent looks.

"Fine!" I'll do it!"

"Yes!" They all three exclaimed.

•••••••

Draco and I had been friends since year one. And through the years I've been developing feelings for him. I sighed as I walked through the corridor on my way to the bathroom. I had to pee.

An idiot bumped into me and I looked irritated up.

"Watch it- oh, Malfoy!"

He smiled at me with his cutest smile and said hey.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Crabbe and Goyle asked me to join them at the library. Those egg heads can't do their own homework."

I laughed.

"Well, I'll see ya," I said.

"Yeah."

He gently clapped my shoulder before walking away. I started walking but stopped soon after. Wait! Idiot! This was my chance!

"Wait Malfoy!"

I turned around and faced him. He walked over to me again.

"Yeah?"

How was I gonna ask him? Oh god..  I cleared my throat.

"I was wondering if you would like to go to the homecoming with me.." I muttered, but loud enough for him to hear it.

He smiled surprised.

"I would love to!" He said.

"Really?!" I asked surprised.

"Yeah of course! I've never had a date before."

I smiled wide. He thinks it is a date!

"I'll see you around then," I said.

"Yeah, Bye."

Oh my god.. I had a date.

••••••••

Tonight it was the night. I squealed as I saw myself in the mirror. I had my hair sat beautifully up in a crown and my long black dress with small stones around then waist was shining.

"There she is!"

I turned around to see Freja. She had her pink dress on and her long black hair was decorated with flowers.

"Someone is waiting for you  in the common room," she said.

I smiled and walked out of the dorm and out to the common room where others than Draco and I were getting ready. He smiled big at me. He looked handsome with his black blazer. He took my hand and led me to the hall where everyone would gather.

"You look beautiful tonight," he said. "More than usual."

My cheeks turned red and I looked down.

"Shut up," I muttered.

He laughed and we entered the hall where talking, laughing and music filled the air. We walked inside and started talking. We didn't really have a subject, we just talked about everything.

"You know what," he said. "I'm gonna get us some punch."

I nodded and he took my hands, gave them a squeeze and then left me. I couldn't believe this was actually true. I got tired of waiting for him so I went to the punch bowls where I saw him talking to a girl. What.

They were laughing and chatting and I could see he enjoyed the company. Sometimes she would slap his shoulder teasingly. He shook his head for a reason and then he caught my eye. His face turned surprised and he rapidly let go of the punch and walked up to me. I walked away from him, but he followed me.

"(Y/N) it's not what it looks like!"

"Oh really? Because it looks like you have a lot of fun! Why don't you just take her to homecoming next time."

I would've walked away again, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

"No! I wanna go with you! Don't you underst-"

"Okay everyone! Now for a little cheek to cheek dance!" The singer suddenly yelled into the microphone.

Malfoy looked at me with a sad smile.

"Please.. (Y/N). Let's just.. dance."

He took my hand and this time I didn't refuse. He led me to the dancing spot where I saw Neville and Ginny dancing too. Cute.

"Listen.. there's something I've been wanting to tell you," Malfoy said and led both of his hands to my waist.

I wrapped my hands around his neck and looked up on his grey eyes. They were so pretty.

"What is it Draco?"

I could see he got nervous because his hands started grabbing my dress like he needed something to hold while he told me.

"I have a confession."

"About what?"

He looked down at me. His gaze was kind and soft on me. He bit his lip and sighed.

"I'm in love with you."

I felt my heart drop. Was he for real? I sank and started giggling.

"Malfoy.. are you seriou-"

"Yes! I'm dead serious. I've been in love for you for so long now. I just couldn't hold it in anymore.."

I smiled big and rubbed him neck with my hands and fingers. My heart started beating again and happiness filled my body.

"Draco.."

I didn't say more. Instead, I pulled him into a kiss.
