Malfoy Neighbors

The First Night Back-Year 4 Chapter 8

You woke a few hours later. You were still laying on the couch, but Draco had moved to the arm chair. You sat up and looked at him. You thought for sure he was going to go to the Slytherin common room once you were sound asleep. The fire was almost out, with only a glow left.

"Draco." You whispered. He opend his eyes and sat up. "I hate to wake you, but the fires out and it's cold in here." Draco smiled and stocked the fire.

"Is that better?" Draco asked sitting next to you. You nodded.

"Thanks." You said laying down, using his lap as a pillow. You felt Draco play with your hair as you fell back to sleep.

Draco's pov

Draco was having a hard time falling asleep. He ran his fingers threw your hair and watched the fire, as you slept. He was glad you weren't mad at him anymore.

"My Hufflepuff Princess" Draco whispered softly. Sitting you up so he could lay down. He layed you back down on top of him and wrapped his arms around you. You nestled your head into his chest and moved you arms around his neck.

"Mmmm." You hummed happily, and mumbled something Draco couldn't understand.

Your pov

You woke the next morning in Draco's arms. You looked up at him because he was snoring quietly. The fire had gone out too, but you didn't want to get up. You layed your head back down on his chest smiling. A few minutes later Draco stoped snoring.

"You awake (y/n)?" Draco asked softly, still half asleep. You nodded but kept your head on him.

"I am, but I don't want to get up." You said sleepily.

"You do know we have to, right?" Draco said sitting you up. You nodded again and leaned into him.

"I know, but I like it here with you." You said trying to lay back down. Some how Draco managed to get you up.

"You have to go to your common room now." Draco said. You shook your head. "I know you don't want to." Draco said sympathetically and hugged you. "But you have to. You have to get ready for your day." You agreed with him.

"Will you walk me to the entrance of the Hufflepuff house?" You asked holding both his hands. He nodded and the two of you walked out of the star room. You got to the barrels that marked the entrance.

"I'll see you at breakfast," Draco said kissing you. "You'll be ok. I'm sure Sam's in there and I'm sure She'll be there for you." You hugged Draco.

"I know she will. I just wish you could go in with me." You said.

"Yeah, that wouldn't go over to well; a Slytherin in the Hufflepuff common room? Yeah right." Draco said laughing. You giggled and kissed him good bye before entering the common room.

Once you got dressed and everything, you and Sam headed down breakfast. Draco was sitting with his friends and Perkinson was shooting you some of the deadliest death glares you had ever seen.

"So you spent the entire night in the star room?" Sam asked pulling your attention back to the Hufflepuff table.

"Yeah, I couldn't make myself go to our dorm." You said. Sam looked at with a sad look. "Draco kept me company though."

"You're taking Kathy's death a lot harder then Cedric is." Sam said looking down the table at him. Cedric seemed to be just fine. He was talking with his friends at the other end of the table.

"Yeah, I noticed that too. I would have thought he would have been really hurt by her passing." You looked back at Draco. "If it had been me, I wonder how Draco would act?"

"I think he would be a lot harder to deal with." Sam said looking at Draco too. "You keep him pritty much in check."

"I do not. If I did, then Draco wouldn't be a bully at all." You said is a joking tone, although, you both knew it was true.

Professor Sprout walked down the Hufflepuff table giving out the new cores schedules. You and Sam took yours and you studied it.

"Looks like we have loads of classes this year." Sam said. You nodded and looked up. The other heads of houses was handing out schedules too. Draco was stairing down at his list.

"I wonder what classes well have with Ravenclaw this year?" Sam said sparkling. You were thinking the same thing about the Slytherins. But not just the Slytherin house but more of what classes would you have with Draco? You watched Draco from across the room, while Sam rambled on. You weren't listening to her.

"Oh, the owls are here." Sam shouted. You jumped. You weren't expecting her to get excited. You looked at her and smiled before you looked back at Draco. Arrow had flown in and landed on Draco's shoulder. (N/n), who had fallowed Draco to the Slytherin common room this morning, came scampering up to you.

"Hello (n/n)." You said picking the niffler up. He handed you a small box, wrapped in brown paper. You took it and opended it.

"Fizzy Wizbees!" You said happily looking back at Draco. Draco was looking at you. He picked up a box of sweets and pointed at the back. You looked at your box.

'I know you like these. I have more over here if you want them.' You read the message and smiled. You pulled out your quill and wrote on a napkin.

'You bring them to me.' You asked your niffler to bring it to Draco. (N/n) rolled his eyes, but took the napkin and scampered back to the Slytherin table. You watch as he read the note. Draco looked up from it, smiled and slowly shook his head.

"I think he wants you to go over there." Sam said reading the back of your candy.

"I'm not going to." You said putting jam on some toast.

"Why not?" Sam said in a teasing manner.

"Because if I go over there, I think a fight between me and Perkinson will brake out." You didn't look up as you spoke. Sam looked at Perkinson then back at you.

"She really does hate you." Sam said. You nodded.

"She jealous because Draco and I are together." You told sam.

"Envy is a good color on her." You couldn't help but smile at Sam's remark.
