Tales of Damien Riddle

Chapter 8: Talks with Draco

After dinner, the group followed the rest of their table to their dorms in the dungeon. They had been told their room assignments during dinner from their house Prefect, Theo Nott. Draco and Damien would be sharing a room, Blaise shared a room with Theo, and Pansy and Morgana would share a room.

The group was all exhausted from the days events and decided to travel off to bed and discuss things before class the next morning. Draco and Damien walked off towards their room, which had their names written on the door.

The two Slytherin boys were currently changing into their pajamas for bed when Draco spoke, "What's going on with you and Blaise?"

Draco had been extremely curious. He had watched his god brother and best friend interact with one another almost half the summer. Blaise was continuously flirting with Damien, and Damien was always blushing from his advances. It wasn't obvious flirting, it was settle and Draco almost hadn't noticed until Morgana pointed it out to him.

A month ago...

"Have you noticed that Blaise and Damien seem to have something going on?" Morgana asked out of the blue during one of her and Draco's book sessions. The pair had taken to going to Morgana's library and reading whatever interested them in a comfortable silence.

"What do you mean?" The blond asked his cousin, lifting his gaze from his book.

"I mean. Blaise has been flirting non-stop with Damien since they first met. Don't tell me you've seriously never noticed?" Morgana looked at Draco with a look of almost annoyance.

"Blaise flirts with anything that moves," Draco said with a casual shrug, "Actually, he also flirts with things that don't move. I once saw him call a tree sexy."

Morgana rolled her eyes at her cousin, "This is more than that. He outwardly flirts with others, but with Damien it's always more subtle. It's almost like he's nervous. I always notice a charming smile here or there, or he stands too close to Damien sometimes. And every time Blaise gets near him or speaks to him, Damien almost always blushes," Morgana explained to Draco, "There is definitely something going on there."

Draco thought of his cousin's words silently for a moment. She was right, Blaise and Damien had seemed to be getting closer, but Draco always assumed it was just to be friends. Maybe Morgana was right and there was something more.

"It's alright though. If there is something going on, Damien would come to us. We just have to be patient," Morgana had said.

However, Draco Malfoy was anything but patient, and he wanted to know now. Draco took note of how Damien's cheeks turned a red that almost matched the color of a Weasley's hair. Damien turned to look at Draco silently.

"I'm not sure," Damien said honestly, "I mean, he's been flirting with me, and we talk. And over the last month of summer we've spent time together, but I'm not sure what's going on."

Damien walked towards his bed and climb in, pulling his blanket over himself. Draco did the same, but in his own bed. Draco hummed in thought at Damien's words, "Blaise obviously likes you. Morgana even sees it, and I'm sure if I asked Pansy she would see it as well," Draco laid down in his bed, "Maybe you should try talking to him, figure out what's going on.

"Maybe. I'll see," Damien said simply, as he lied in his own bed, an arm under his head.

"Whatever you choose, Morgana and I will support you," Draco said firmly, and Damien found a small smile forming on his face. He didn't respond for a moment, just enjoying the feeling of knowing Draco and Morgana would always stand by his side, no matter his sexuality or who he liked.

"Goodnight, Dray," he finally spoke up, and he could hear Draco laugh softly in the bed across from his own.

"Goodnight, Dame," and with that the room went silent. It didn't take long for both Slytherin boys to fall asleep soundly in their beds.
