Sanctuary ~ A Draco Malfoy Love Story

8 ~ Potions

"WAKE UP, AVERY!" Daphne's voice rang in my head.

"Bloody hell, Daph." I groaned and threw a pillow over my head.

"It's our first day, c'mon." Daphne pulled my hand. "And you have two dates." She said cheerfully as I landed on the floor.

I stood up and yawned. "I've decided to go with Fairmont. He's not going to try anything I'm sure."

"Well thank Merlin you know some damn good spells." Daphne said already putting on her Slytherin uniform.

I took mine out of my trunk and headed for the bathroom. I brushed my teeth, took a quick shower, magically put some makeup on, and put on my uniform. I looked at myself in the mirror, horrified.

"Shit! Shit! Daphne!" I shouted from the bathroom.

"Yeah? What wrong?" She came rushing in. She took one glance at me and burst out in laughter.

"Daph! What am I supposed to do?" I was flustering, trying to pull down my too-short skirt. "I put the wrong uniform in my luggage! This is my third year one."

"It's fine." Daphne said, her laughter receeding.

The skirt stopped mid-thigh and my blouse's buttons were about to pop. The cloak did end below my knees which helped. I think.

"At least boys will know you've hit puberty." Daphne shrugged. She has never had a problem with wearing revealing clothing. That was because she had a model body. Her skirt ended above her knees and she always tied her blouse in the front, revealing some midriff. "C'mon, Les, you've got a gorgeous body." She winked.

I blushed, not really feeling good suddenly. "I can't go out like this."

"Sure you can." Daphne grinned, pulling me out of our dorms.

Draco and Blaise we're downstairs chatting while waiting for us. Daphne was pulling my arm down the stairs, making me tumble slightly.

"Draco!" Daphne shouted so loud the whole common room stared at us. Draco looked our way. "What do you think of Les' skirt?" She smirked.

His eyes widened at he looked at me. I tried to cover myself with the cloak, embarrassed.

"There is no way you're going out like that!" Draco yelled, making more eyes turn to us. He went over to me and started gesturing at first, my chest, then my legs then shaking his head. "We're getting you new clothes."

"Good luck with that mate." Blaise chucked behind him. "Where would you get new clothes?" He slung his hand around Daphne.

"Ooh you can borrow mine." Daphne offered.

"No, not you Daphne, these are practically your clothes." Draco said. "Don't move." He ordered me. He rushed up the stairs to his dorm.

A couple of Slytherin seventh years wolf whistled my way. I walked over to Daphne, hiding myself behind her. Draco ran down and handed me his sweater.

"Wear this." He said, looking away from me.

"Thanks." I said, taking off my black cloak and putting on sweater. It was oversized on me, reaching just above the skirt. It smelled like his cologne with a hint of mint. It smelled like heaven.

We walked out of the common room, heading to the great hall. Draco slung his arm protectively around me after some boys looked at me. He snarled at the boys, looking very much annoyed.

We arrived at the Great Hall, and were about to sit on our usual place. One teensy little problem, it was occupied. By none other than Nathan Fairmont and his group of boys.
