A witch's heart [Draco Malfoy x oc]

Boyfriend a.k.a. caring asshole

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

My mouth opened and closed, but there was no sound. It was that relaxed smile again - the kind that left me speechless.

Still unable to say anything, I nodded.

"May I ask you for a favor?"

I nodded again.
You should really get a grip.
Shut it, Agapi.

"Would it be okay if I kissed you?"
"Yes", I quietly replied.
He smiled again, though it felt different from before.

"Thank you."

With one hand, Draco lifted up my chin. My eyes closed when our lips met.
As if by instinct, my arms wrapped themselves around his neck. His hands were on my waist, pulling me closer.

The kiss was soft and gentle. I did not know for how long we were standing there. It could've been a minute or an hour - time had become insignificant.

For all I knew, it felt right ... and magical.

We were walking down the hallway, hand in hand. He had insisted on bringing me back to the Hufflepuff dorms.

Also, my heart was beating so fast, I feared it could jump out of my chest.

"I forgot to tell you ... tomorrow, the lesson will be cancelled. Were going on a hike, with Hagrid."

I guessed the disappointment showed on my face.

Draco chuckled. "You look disappointed."
"Just a bit.", I replied, though that definitely was not the case. I had, to be honest, really looked forward to seeing him again.
He smiled. "I'll make it up to you, don't worry."

We had reached the Hufflepuff dorms. "So, uhm, g'night, then.", I said. The gods forbid I manage to get an understandable sentence out.

"One thousand words on the bird-conjuring charm, it's origins and the way it works. You'll find plenty material in the library.", he answered and it took me some time to realize he was giving me homework.

"Are you serious?"
Stupid question. It's Draco Malfoy. Of course he was serious.

He raised an eyebrow. "Did I ever indicate I wasn't?"

Sighing, I entered the common room and wrote down my homework.
When I was done, he smiled in a very amused manner.
"What?", I asked.
"It's just ... you look adorable when you're annoyed."

"A compliment's not gonna finish my 1000-word essay, Malfoy", I said, but a small smile made it's way across my face. Damn it. Now I couldn't even stay mad at him.

"I know", he replied, taking my hand again.

We sat on the couch for a while, in comfortable silence. "When do you have to go tomorrow?", I asked. "We have a meeting at Five a.m., the we'll take breakfast and go to -"
"Five a.m.?", I repeated. "Go to bed. You're gonna end up not sleeping enough."
"You're not my mother, Elethrya."
"That doesn't mean I won't be concerned if you go on a hike after having slept for two hours."

He smiled. "I won't be able to sleep either way, since I'll be thinking of you."

I felt my face grow hot. "Enough, you flirty bastard", I said, pushing him out of the common room. He placed a quick kiss on my cheek and left.

Grinning like a fool, I walked up into the girls dorms.
