Corrupt || Draco Malfoy

16

The next morning Lorelai woke up an hour before she normally did. It was still dark outside and Madam Pomfrey was still asleep in her chambers. Next to her layed Draco Malfoy peacefully sleeping. His arm was still wrapped tight around her torso and his lips were slightly parted. He looked adorable. His light breaths were tickling her neck.

The innocence showed on the sleeping face, the peaceful and serene dreams blocking out the dangers of the outside and the thoughts of his task. The soft breathing making the world seem to stand still. He looked so peaceful that she couldn't take her eyes away from his face. She didn't want to wake him, this was probably the first full night of sleep he had gotten in a while.

It's not fair that he was put into this life, ever since he was a little boy had been told by his pathetic excuse of a father that pureblood supremacy was the most important thing. That he shouldn't affiliate with muggle borns and that everybody who wasn't a Slytherin was a blood-traitor. She didn't even want to imagine what went down in the Malfoy manor if Draco ever defied his father.

She never knew Draco very well until this year. This was the year that she learned he had a vulnerable side and that deep down he wasn't the foul gir everyone played him out to be. Lorelai knew that deep down, all throughout these past years, he knew that the way he was acting was wrong, he just couldn't admit it or else he would probably be cast out of the family.

"You're staring, it's creepy." He mumbled lightly.

"It's not creepy, it's romantic."

"No, it's creepy." He says sitting up. "What time is it?"

Lorelai looks out the window and in a distance she sees the sun starting to rise. "Around 6am, sleepyhead."

"I need my beauty rest, how do you think I mantain my good looks?"

"Arrogant as always, Malfoy."

"So we're back to last names now, Byrne?"

She took a look at his face that was now completely visible, he looked healtheir. Some of the color had come back to his face and his dark under eye circles were much smaller.

"You should go, before Madam Pomfrey wakes up."

"Yeah, or before Crabbe and Goyle start asking questions. The two buffoons are bloody annoying." He says with a disgusted look on his face. "See you in class."

Lorelai smiles and lays back down on the uncomfortable bed. She couldn't leave until Madam Pomfrey told her to. Lucky for her it didn't take long before Pomfrey was rushing to her side with a small vial in her hand.

"Did you sleep well?" She asked.

"Yes, thank you. Can I go yet? I'd like to shower before heading to breakfast."

"Here, drink this before you eat your breakfast and if you ever feel stomach pain like that again, come straight to me."

Lorelai hopped out of bed and left the Hospital wing. They corridor was completely empty and she could hear the echo her shoe made anytime she took a step. After going up, what seemed like an insurmountable ammount of stairs, she finally reaches the portrait of the fat lady. She quickly mutters the password and goes up to her dormitory. Lucky for her, nobody is in the bathroom so she is able to take a quick shower right away.
