Malfoy Neighbors

Forgotten Room-Year 2 Chapter 12

Draco fallowed you inside as you held onto his hand. He was acting strange. It wasn't like him to be this way. Once you got him indoors, you headed up to the hospital wing. Something was going on with him and you were worried.

"I'm ok." Draco said after a few minutes of walking.

"Yeah," Grabbe said, walking beside you. You ignored him.

"If he says he's alright then he's alright." Goyle said from beside Draco. You ignored him too. Draco stoped walking, which made you stop. The two other boys kept going for a few more steps. They turned back around to face you.

"Go ahead guys. I'll meet up with you soon." Draco said. They seemed to be ok with Draco telling them what to do all the time. He was always ordering them around and they always obeyed. This time was no exception, the two had left on their own.

"Realy (y/n), I'm ok." Draco said, trunning to face you.

"You were outside, in the snow, just standing there." You looked worried. "What on earth were you doing out there?"

"Finshing my spell." Draco spoke calmly with a gentle smile. You tilted your head slightly. "I needed the fresh fallen snow."

"Why?" Your look of worrie was now one of concern.

"For this." Draco pulled your necklace from his Slytherin robe pocket, and handed it back. You took it even more puzzled than before.

"I put a spell on it to protect you." He said blushing. "I had to hold it outside while the fresh snow was falling." You looked at the niffler charm. "It should work. What ever is hurting people shouldn't be able to hurt you." You smiled at him. He was so sweet at times. "I needed something that was yours before the spell was cast, that's why I asked to borrow the necklace." You didn't believe it would actually work, but he was doing something thoughtful, so you didn't tell him that. You hugged him,

"Thank you, Draco." You said still hugging him.

"You said my first name again." Draco said stund. You pulled back and nodded.

"I did." You put the necklace on and took Draco's hand. You walked together hand in hand to an old dungeon room.

It wasn't very big. The room was an old classroom with a fire place in the back, that wasn't used anymore. Not many students came to this room, it looked abandoned.

"Where are we?" Draco asked when you pulled him into the room.

"An old classroom that was changed into a lounge." You smiled at him. The students would rather use their own common rooms, or hang out in other places of the castle like the libary or the courtyard, then come here.

"But I need you to start the fire for me." You said shyly.

"Can't you?" He asked in a teasing voice. You shook your head.

"I'm afraid of fire." You looked scared. Draco's eyes went from a look of amusement to one of sympathy.

"Incendio" Draco had pulled his wand out and started the fire. Torches around the room lit one by one around the room. There was a couch in front of the fire place. The walls were a pale baby blue. There was a house creast for each house, one on each wall.

"No one comes here anymore." You said sitting down on the couch.

"Why not?" Draco sat down next to you.

"I think it was forgotten. I had to clean the place up when I found it." You leaned on Draco, resting your head on his shoulder once more. You felt his head rest on yours and your heart skipped a beat.

"How did you find it?" Draco spoke softly, almost like he was sleepy.

"I was telling Moaning Mertal..." Draco cut you off.

"Who?" You sat up and looked at him.

"She's a ghost in the girls bathroom on the first floor. Anyways, I was telling her that there really wasn't a comfortable place for the students to visit with others outside their dorms. She's the one who showed me this place." The two of you set in the room watching the fire for a while. The whole time you were thinking about how you wanted him to reach down and hold your hand.

"How come your afraid of fire?" Draco asked snapping you back to reality. You pulled your feet up onto the couch, your knees to your chest. You stared into the flickering flames.

"When I was about five years old, we were visiting my aunt in America. We were camping and the fire got out of control. It killed my older brother." You said lowering your eyes. You hadn't told anyone about your brother.

"You had a brother?" Draco said, surprised.

"Yeah, he was three years older then me." You layed your head on his shoulder again. "His name was Adam. I really miss him sometimes." You held back the tears that always came when thinking about your brother. Adam was skinny with short brown hair, and his eyes were a dark green, and looked alot like your dad.

"Adem was always so thoughtful." You spoke sweetly, smileing at the thought. "This one time, I got really sick. Adam would bring me water and anything else I wanted." Draco's arm moved around your shoulder and your heart skipped another beat. "I've never talked about him to anyone, other then my parents." Draco held you close. It was worm, and you felt safe. The two of you sat in silence for a while.

Dracos pov

You had nodded off to sleep. Draco layed you down on the couch, and stood up. You slept soundly.

"Christmas is almost here." He whispered quietly to himself, looking around the room. "It's so dule in here."

"Mhumalmdajes" you mumbled in your sleep. 'What's she dreaming about?' Draco thought to himself, smiling.

"You sleep, and I'll be right back." He said taking off his robe and draping it across you. He left the room as you pulled his robe closer.

"Where can I get a small Christmas tree?" Draco was talking to himself.

Your pov

You rolled over and hit the ground. You set up, looking around the room confused. The fire was still crackling. You stood up and Draco's robe hit the ground.

"Draco?" You asked the empty room. "Where did he go?" You picked up his robe and layed it on the couch. You walked out of the room and up stairs. You found Grabbe and Goyle in the Great Hall, but no Draco. You wondered the school for two hours and decided to go back to the room you woke up in.
