Use Her [dracomalfoy]

2 - Befriending

Cecelia

I woke up on Saturday morning with a sharp pain in my neck. I turned my head to check the clock. It was 2 AM in the morning. I quickly sat up and walked to the bathroom to get cleaned up. If I was already awake I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. 

After I got dressed in jeans and a T-Shirt I left the dorm room. It was dark outside and there was a slight chill in the halls. I ended up walking two flights of stairs, and walking through three different hallways. I passed through locked doors. Why was everything kept so hidden? In Beauxbaton they had never kept any of the students in the dark. 

I finally reached an unlocked door and it creaked loudly when I opened it. 

When I shut the door behind me as I entered the room, a wand was immediately at my throat. 

"What the bloody-"

"Cecelia?"

The wand was lowered and I could finally breathe. "Draco?" I asked. 

My heart was pounding. "What are you doing here, it's late Cecelia."

"Well, you're out too. I couldn't sleep and I wanted to explore the castle."

"Bloody idiot." Draco murmured. "It's not safe. It hasn't been safe for a long time."

"Well, now I know." I breathed. "Release me, would you?"

He let go of my upper arm, and motioned me to sit down.

"What is this place?" I questioned.

Draco gestured to the large window, "This is the astronomy tower. No one is exactly allowed up here, unless for classes."

"Then what made you come up here?"

"I come up here to think." he said. 

"What do you think about?"

"You ask a lot of questions."

"Call me curious Cece." I joked. 

\

["Cece." he repeated, "I like that. It suits you better than Cecelia."

"Everyone back at home calls me Cece." I said, "But then they just stopped for some odd reason."

"Why do you think?" Draco asked, taking the seat next to me. 

"My mum went crazy." I said, "Well I mean, she still cares and loves me like a mother should, but... it's just not the same anymore."

"Are your parents both wizards?"

"Does it matter?"

"Infact, it does." Draco said smugly.

"Well, if you must know Mr. Predjudice. I am a pureblood. I'm a Gaunt."

"I don't think I caught that about you, your family must be wealthy."

"Wealthy enough." I said, "It took over my family when my grandmother died. Everyone was fighting for her diamond ring."

Draco stayed quiet and I put my hand on his, "Draco. What were you thinking about?"

Draco

"Draco, what were you thinking about?" she asked. 

I felt guilty. I couldn't do it to her. But, I simply had to. 

"You." I said. I realized how hard she was peering into my eyes. 

"Really?" she questioned. 

"Yeah." 

I leaned into her slowly. I could feel her harsh breaths hit my lips. 

"Draco, what are you doing?" she whispered. 

"Shh." I hummed, and I crashed my lips onto hers. 

We sat there kissing for what seemed like hours, but were probably minutes. Seconds even. 

Once we parted to catch our breath, I held her cheek. 

"What did we just do?" she asked. She went to stand up and she gave me a menacing look, "Look Draco, you're cute I admit but I didn't leave Beauxbatons to have a romance. I just, I can't do this because that.." she trailed off slowly. 

"That what?"

"That was my first kiss." she blurted out before she left the room leaving me standing by the window.
