When the lights go out [Malfoy x reader story]

Good Explanation

"Bloody hell, you scared me to death!" I shook my head and winced.

"Sorry." He whispered telling to come after him. I followed him down to the common room and sat next to him on the couch.

"Let's play a game." I said as I thought about Mary.

"Which one?" He asked curious.

"Rock, paper, scissors?" I asked making to moves of the game.

"Never played that before, but why not."

"After I said rock, paper, scissors, you have to make one of them with your hand." I explained then saying the words.

He had stone, I had scissor.

"Scissor looses against stone." I said lightly touching his fist with the end of my fingers symbolizing a breaking scissor.

Once again I said the words.

"Paper wins against stone." I said wrapping my 'paper' hand around his stone hand. "You can't always choose stone." I said then laughing about his fist, until I realized I still had my hand wrapped around his fist. I quickly let go of it, scratching my neck in embarrassment.

"Rock, paper scissor !" I said I made stone and he made paper.

"So I won this time?" He asked copying my move from before.
Our eyes met and I couldn't, but look into his eyes. I felt like I was going to loose myself in them. I nod without saying anything or taking my eyes off. He smiled, but didn't do anything either. I heard so much about him, but still I felt like that all was the padt him, or just a act of his. Maybe he was the victim of his familys upbringing.
I felt like my heart was beating fast with every moment he held my hand. What if I would tell him once? No.... I shouldn't do that.

"Rock, paper, scissor." He warmly whispered as he moved his hand. I was still holding the stone, when he already had chosen to take paper once again. "I won again.", he whispered gently touching my hand once again. Okay now even I got clear about the situation, if he wasn't about to make fun of me, then he really did like me and tried to show that right now.

"We should maybe play thumb wrestling." I suggested still looking in his eyes.

"Explain it to me." I explained him, that we had to interrogate our fingers trying to push each other's thumb down. It was a childish way to get to hold his hand secretly, but it worked out pretty good.
We weren't really thumb wrestling, it was more starring at each other. Then I looked at the clock as it made a sound.

"Only an hour left until breakfast let's look after Mary." I saidand got up forgetting I was still pushing his thumb down.

"Ahh ahh wait." He said as I turned his finger up.

"Oh my God sorry." I apologized, then we headed out to see Marys recent condition. The corridors were still empty, of course no one would stand up purposely as early as we did. I climbed up some stairs, when i felt as if someone was watching us. I turned around and only inches away from us, behind Draco and me, Madam Moonshine stood, her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"It's a bit early to strut through the school already, ms Hunter, mister Malfoy." She said mockingly sounding and smirking as bad as Draco sometimes did.

" We are checking on my friend Mary Withney, she came to the nurse yesterday." I answered calmly even though my heartbeat was rapidly.

" So so I see. "She smiled still having this mocking sound in her voice." I'm pretty sure both of you will have a great time having detention with me. Couples shouldn't do things in school." She said and turned around.

" That's not true you can't punish us for being awake and we aren't even a couple." I said gazing her lightly annoyed.

" You ms Hunter, do you think only, because the two of you have influence in you family tree are allowed to talk back. Rotten, spoiled children like you should be kicked out. "She hissed giving me chills.

" My father will hear about this. "Draco hissed back, pulling me along.

We made our way to Mary and I sat next to her on my bed. Her face was pale and she looked like she was in pain.

" Ms Hunter, good to see you. " Madam Pomfrey said, making me almost died from a shock.

" Yes? "I asked friendly. Why was everyone sneaking to me and asking me something, just as if they tried to appear behind my back....

" Ms Withney, will survive, that's sure, but she will remain in this condition for a while, since she got hurt with something pretty bad. Still unrecognizable what made her be in this condition, but I'm sure it will just take a few weeks up to a month for her to regenerate. I would appreciate if you could talk to her while she is in this condition. That's important. "

" Thank you for saving her. I will do what you said, how could I leave her alone?" I smiled.

Madam Pomfrey frowned as if she remembered something.

" There was a words she said yesterday before she got totally knocked out. It was aunt I don't know what that means, maybe it was just a calling for help, but maybe you know it better. "

"I either know what she meant but I will think about that and contact you if it's something important."

I looked once again at Mary then said good bye to her and left.
On our way to the great hall we met Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Saint Potter." Draco said arrogantly. "Weaselbee and Granger....."
To be honest everytime Draco called Harry, Saint Potter, it all sounded like Pottah. It was kind of funny to hear, but still hard to see him picking up a fight with Hermione since she was the first friend in England I got since I was here.

I was so wrong, he was still the spoiled, rich, rude child, but when we where together he was different.
I greeted my friends walking into the great hall without Draco, who tried to follow me fast enough.

The weeks until the ball were passing by to fast, you had been busy, preparing stuff for the ball and other different things. Recently you hang out a lot with Hermione and Draco, while visiting Mary everyday, besides doing your homework. Your crush on Draco was growing everyday and slowly you started to feel like it wouldn't leave you anymore. You had made up with Fred, who had even though you said it was totally acceptable to be angry after that newspaper article, excused himself. The two of you, had been hanging out a lot together with George as well. Then one day, while going to the owl tower, Draco was waiting for you up there.

"Y/n we need to talk." He said gently pulling you with him into the owl 

"What's up cry baby?" You asked laughing about nearly every single Potion class he told you to cut worms or different things, since he couldn't.

"There's something I had to tell you about, it's fine no matter how you answer."

"What did you do?" I asked raising my brows.
