Malfoy Neighbors

The Glass Tower-Year 4 Chapter 22

You woke the next morning leaning on Draco, with an arm draped around you. You had fallen asleep on him while sitting on the couch in the star room. Draco was still sitting.

"Draco?" You said sleepily, sitting up. Draco opend his eyes.

"Good morning, my Hufflepuff Princess." Draco said, smiling. Usely he was hard to wake.

"Good morning," you said laying your head in his shoulder. "Where you already awake?" You asked him yawning.

"I woke a few minutes ago." Draco rested his head on yours. The fire had gone out over the night and it had grown cold in the room. You pulled the blanket you had over you closer to you.

"You cold?" Draco asked pulling his wand from his robes. You nodded and Draco pointed his wand at the fire.

"Incendio." Draco said in a soft voice. The morning went by farley quickly, and before you knew it, you and Draco were sitting in charms class. Flitwick was rambling on about summoning charms. He was giving a review of the years lessons to prepare you all for the upcoming exams. Draco wasn't listening, he was spinning his quill on the table, broadly.

"I already know all this stuff." Draco muttered under his breath. You smiled at him.

"Not all the students do, Draco." You whispered. You were just as board. You pulled some scrap parchment and your quill and ink from your bag.

'I know you're bored. I am too.' You wrote and pushed the paper over to Draco, who smiled and stared to write.

'I wish we could leave.' He wrote.

'I know what you mean.' You pushed the paper back, and looked up at Flitwick. He wasn't looking at the students at all. Would he notice if you and Draco snuck out? Sam would, but she wouldn't care. She would want to stay anyways. Sam was behind in charms and needed the review. Draco had pushed the paper back.

'How much longer do we have to sit here?' Draco had wrote. You nudged him and nodded to the teacher.

'Do you think he would notice us sneak out?' You wrote. Draco read the note, smiled devilishly and shook his head slightly.

'You go first, if he notice you leave then I'll just tell him you had to go to the bathroom. Go to the star room and I'll meet you there if I can sneak out too.' You pushed the paper over to Draco. You sat in the back next to the door so it shouldn't have been to hard to do. Draco nodded and tore a peace of the parchment from the list of notes you and him just did. You looked over to see what he was writing.

'(Y/n) and I are sneaking out of class, you two stay here and don't tell anyone we left.' Draco pushed the note over to Grabbe and Goyle who read it and nodded understandingly. Draco got up from his seat slowly and slipped out. You waited a few minutes then whispered to Sam.

"I'm bored, I'm gonna sneak out." Sam smiled at you and whispered back a "go" and you fallowed suite after Draco. You walked down to the star room and be hold, Draco was there.

"That was fun." You said walking into the room. Draco smiled at you.

"Yup, you're cunning alright. You're more Slytherin then I orginally thought." Draco said walking up to you.

"I am a proud Hufflepuff." You said dramatically, putting a hand to your heart.

"Now what?" Draco asked. You smiled and kissed him.

"Don't know, but that was fun. I think you're a bad influence on me, Draco Malfoy." You said playfully.

"Yeah? Well it's by time." Draco whispered. You took his hand and pulled him from the room.

"Were are you taking me?" Draco asked, puzzled.

"I want to go for a walk." You said.

"What if the other teachers see us?" Draco wasn't in for a day of rule breaking.

"Well, if you are quite then they wont know, will they?" Draco smiled at you. "What?" You asked him. He was staring at you.

"Nothing, I've just never seen this side of you." Draco said.

"I've spent the whole year walking these halls alone. I know all kinds of secrets the school has to offer." You said. Draco's smiled truned to a frown.

"I'm sorry I ignored you for so long." Draco said apologetically.

"It did hurt, but I'm trying to let it go. Besides, the time gave me a chance to explore." You had spend the days Draco ignored you roaming the halls. You had found a room the wasn't like any other rooms. You wanted to show Sam but she was so busy all the time with her studies or with Sebastian that she didn't get the chance to hang with you like she use to. You decided to show Draco instead. The two of you made your way to one of the towers. You opend the hatch going into the top, much like Professor Trelawney class room. You and Draco went inside. The circler room looked to made of one large piece of glass. The ceiling was the same way. You could see outside. The sky was clear, and you could see the Quidditch field, which didn't look the the field anymore.

"What happened to the Quidditch field?!" Draco was livid.

"Looks like a maze." You answered him, looking at the hedges growing all over. "I bet that's the next task for the champions."

"Well, they better put it back when they are done." Draco complained.

"I'm sure they will." You took Draco's hand. The two of you looked around the grounds and talked for a while. The bell rang and the two of you headed off to your next classes.

A few weeks went by and you found yourself in the libary studying for your potions exam.

"(Y/n)," you heard a familiar voice. "Dont' be mad at me." You looked up to see Dameon.

"Go away." You said annoyed, and went back to your book.

"Why do you like Malfoy?" Dameon asked, sitting down. "You know his dad's a Death Eater, don't you?" You ignored him. He was just trying to get you upset again.

"Leave me alone." You said, "I told you I don't want to see you again." You looked up to see Draco with his friends walk into the libary. "And yes, I know all about Lucius Malfoy." You didn't have the slightest clue about Lucius being a Death Eater, but you weren't going to give Dameon the satisfaction of giving you information you didn't know. You looked at Draco, who caught your gaze. You gave him a pleading look and Draco said something to his friends and walked over.

"Are you ready to go?" Draco asked, as if you had plans with him. You nodded and shut your book. Draco picked up your bag and took your hand before leading you away.

"Thanks," you said giving him a kiss once you were out of the libary. "He was telling me that your dad's a Death Eater."

"About that," Draco said nervously, "he is." You stepped back from Draco. Was he telling you the truth?

"But," you said bewildered. "He can't be. Maybe he was, but The Dark Lord's dead, right?" Draco neither confirmed nor did he deny it.

"Tell me the truth, Draco. What do you know?" You said scared. Draco pulled you away from the ear shot of others.

"I can't talk about it here." Draco whispered. "I'll tell you everything I know in the star room tonight after dinner." He let go of your hand and walked off.
