Finally With You

Chapter 1

~Dracos POV~

It's about 6 weeks into the newest year of Hogwarts. My 8th and last year here. I walk into the library and look around, trying to find somewhere to sit so I can dive into my studies before the school term officially begins. I meet the eyes of a certain green-eyed, raven-haired boy. We stare into the eyes of each other for a few moments before the mudblood says something to Potter to make him look away. I sigh softly under my breath before I start to look around the library. It's surprisingly full for the first week back at the school. I look back over at Potter and his trio and to a bit of a shock, I see the raven-haired boy staring back at me once more. I suddenly get the idea to wink at him, so I do and his entire face turns a rosy pink color. I smirk ever so slightly upon seeing his face turn pink, which tends to make it worse for the brunette.

"C'mon, Draco. You've been in love with Potter since first year. Man up and go over to him, at least say hi" I think to myself. Without a second thought, I'm walking towards my rival trio. It's as if my body has taken control before my mind can think of something rational to do.

Of course, Weasley has to be the one to see me coming over first. He sneers and glares at me, his eyes full of disgust and hate which I'm honestly used to by now. "What do you think you're doing over here Malfoy?" he huffs, his voice dripping with venom.

"I'm sorry? I didn't know I wasn't allowed in the library, Weasel Bee. I just want to talk. Is that allowed or do you have something smart to say that will explain why I'm not allowed in the school library? That would be very out of character for you."

The Ginger Git goes to say something but Granger places a hand on his arm to stop him as she looks up at me. A soft, surprisingly kind smile appears upon her lips as she speaks to me. "Go ahead, Draco"

"Thank you, Granger. I'd like to make a proposition"

"Just go away, you bloody snake! Nobody wants to hear anything from you!" Weasley snaps harshly, glaring at me.

"I want to hear it." I hear a voice mutter quietly, almost too quiet to be heard. As I look towards where the voice came from, I see that it was Potter. Looking down into his gorgeous emerald green eyes, I flash him a small smile which causes his cheeks to become that rosy-pink color once again.

"I've been a massive jerk, I've realized this and I'd like to start over" I replied still looking into Harry's eyes "Especially with you, Potter. If you'd allow me too that is".

"Why especially with me?" He asks.

"I have my reasons," I say as a slight smirk begins to grow across my lips. His face flushes a darker pink that is so cute and something I absolutely adore and wishes to see more often.

"Who on Earth would want to be friends with a blimey git like you, Malfoy!? You're a bloody snake and an evil death eater who only harms the people around you!" Weasley snaps harshly, before proceeding to get up and leave.

"Well then, I guess I should just go," I say softly "I don't want to ruin the trio, as Weasley is pretty mad, which he has every right to be". I then turn to leave.

"No!" Harry blurts out anxiously "I mean...Stay, please, Malfoy". He bites his lip slightly as he looks at the back of my head.

"Okay," A smile slowly appears on my face as I turn back around to face the two who are seated at the small table in front of me. "I'll stay, only for you, Potter" the slight smirk begins to appear again.

His face becomes red again and he smiles back softly and I can feel my face go a bit warm, which seems to cause his smile to grow brighter. I then sit down in the seat Weasley was previously seated in before I showed up. "what are you guys working on?" I ask.

"Potions mostly, I can't figure it out, and 'Mione won't help me" He grumbles while looking down at some work with a puzzled look on his face and his bottom lip slightly caught between his teeth as he was chewing on it, which is absolutely adorable in my opinion.

She just sighs quietly in response before pointing out "I won't help you cause it's easy and if I help you with every single assignment we have then how are you supposed to learn how to do it on your own?"

I chuckle at this before looking back at Harry "Want me to help? I'm pretty good at Potions, it is my top class after all" I ask him. Hermione huffs which cause me to glance at her.

He looks at me, with a fake pleading look in his eyes which causes me to chuckle as I look back at him "yes please, I'm dying here" He groans.

"Let me see the directions," I say as I reach my hand out towards him for him to hand me the assignment Which he happily hands to me, as he's handing it to me our hands softly brush against each other which causes us both to blush and look away from each other. To ignore the feeling, I look down at it and read the directions, still blushing more than I should. "Oh, you have to pick three potion ingredients and write an essay, front, and back of one parchment, about each. I've completed the assignment already so if you need any more help or any tips just ask me."

"Which 3 ingredients did you use?"

"Lacewing fly, Knotgrass and Fluxweed." I look back over at him and hands him back to the assignment.

"Oh, I get it now. Thank you, Draco" He looks back down at the paper and starts writing.

I smile softly at the sound of my name coming from his mouth before I begin to work on my essay on wild unicorns for Defense Against The Dark Arts class. We spend the rest of the day studying in silence, every so often Potter would ask me a question on his assignment. When it's time for everyone to go back to their common room I say bye to Potter and Granger and I walk down to the dungeons and go to my dorm, I fall asleep thinking about Potter. The last thing I think is "God he's so cute, I really hope I don't mess this up".
