Close To Me [Draco Malfoy]

Kimberly couldn't bare the silence. It was killing here. Draco and her were silent the ride there and at the moment, they were silent as they ate their small portioned food.

"Kimberly?" Draco asked as she snapped her eyes towards him. She was bored.

"Yes?"

"Are you bored?" he questioned.

"Yes," she said honestly with a small glare in her eyes.

Draco huffed and stood up, slamming his hands on the table. It caught everyone in the restaurant off guard, even Kimberly.

"You're bored? Really? Fine, I'll take you home then. Such an ungrateful brat!" Draco shouted as a flash went off signalling that a news reporter caught them in the act. Front page, for sure, she thought.

Kimberly stood up as he grabbed her hand and yanked her out of the restaurant. He took her into an alley and began to laugh.

Kimberly gave him a strange look. "What's so funny?" she asked as she leaned against the brick walls.

He chuckled, wiping away imagery tears. "Did you see the looks on their faces? Once my parents hear about this then they won't question why we left the restaurant," Draco told her.

"I'm still lost," she said quickly.

"They were watching us. After that stunt, they stopped watching us," Draco explained as he put his arm out. "Walk in the park?" he questioned as she slowly hooked her arm around his.

"I guess," she stated as he led her through the park. This time they enjoyed peaceful silence.

"My mother wants to plan the wedding starting tomorrow," Draco told her as he ran a hand through his platinum blonde hair.

"So does my mother."

Draco paused. "Would you like to accompany me as my guest to this ball I have to go to? It's tomorrow night."

Kimberly thought about it. "I guess I can," she said shrugging her shoulders. "We'd go after doing wedding plans all afternoon with our parents," she explained.

Draco pulled out his wand and casted a spell. A carriage appeared as he helped her up. He sat down next to her and grabbed the reins.

"Do you know what your doing?" Kimberly asked unsure.

"Of course," he told her as the invisible Thestrals pulled the carriage. After the battle at Hogwarts, they had seen death and could see the creatures. Thestrals are a breed of winged horses with a skeletal body, face with reptilian features, and wide, leathery wings that resemble a bat's.

He dropped her off at her mansion, kissing the back of her hand and thanking her for being such wonderful company. They bided each other goodnight and parted ways till they'd see each other in the afternoon the next day.
