Draco’s New Lover
Chapter 8: Hogsmeade
Luke had managed to forget to pick up her dress for the ball so as they headed into Hogsmeade she told Draco to wait outside as she went in. “I don’t understand why I just can’t come in with you!” He had complained. “No boy is going to see my dress until the ball!” She had said sternly. Draco smirked. It was fine with him if he had to wait outside; because what she didn’t know was that he was planning on asking her to the ball today.
Melissa entered the dress shop and headed to the desk. “Ah, come to pick up your dress Melissa?” The lady behind the desk asked. Madam Leaf had a kind heart, she was a little on the plump side but that didn’t matter. Melissa smiled and nodded and Madam Leaf went to the back of the store and came back a minute later carrying a big black bag. She opened the bag and Melissa gasped. It was beautiful. It was a burgundy colour, with sequins covering the top half. The bottom half of the dress had a silken undercoat and gauzy material over it.
“So do you like it?” Madam Leaf asked, a look of hope in her eyes. “I love it! Thank you Madam Leaf! How much?” She asked reaching into her pocket to retrieve the small pouch of coins. “73 Galleon’s thank you” Melissa pulled out the pouch and retrieved the coins before handing them to Madam Leaf. “Thank you child,” She said taking the coins. “No thank you Madam Leaf, This is amazing! I could not find a more beautiful dress even if I searched Paris over and under” Madam Leaf’s face lit up, it was obvious that she loved it when people complemented her work. “Well thank you again it’s wonderful, I’ll come here anytime that I need a dress made!” Madam Leaf smiled. “I’ll look forward to making you another one. Bye dear” Melissa smiled and exited the shop. She put her dress in her bag, which she had charmed to be able to fit a house in it if she so desired, but still be light enough to carry.
Draco saw her coming outside and prepared himself. Almost everybody at the school had asked her. Male and female. And yet she still hadn’t said yes to anyone of them. Marcus came over as Melissa walked out of the store. “So Melissa, has Mister Mystery Guy asked you to the ball yet, or am I going to have the pleasure of taking you?” Melissa smiled. “He still has until midnight tonight. So I will let you know of my decision in the morning” Melissa smiled at hi and he smiled back. “Shall I accompany you around?” He asked staring straight at Draco. Draco was saying, “Please say no” Over and over in his head, unaware that she could hear him. She smirked. “No thank you Marcus, I think I’m alright, I have to get some things for the ball and I don’t want a possible candidate to see what I’m getting” She smiled. “So I guess that if Draco is going with you, he’s not a possible candidate then” Marcus smirked but Draco’s face fell. “He’s a possible candidate, I’m just going to make him stand outside and hold things for me” Draco smirked.
“I never agreed to be your pack horse” he elbowed her and she giggled. “It’s ok, I never said you had to agree, you just have to carry things, go on man up” He shook his head and smiled. Marcus just stared at them. “Well I’ll leave you to it then” He said and smiled at Melissa. “Bye Marcus, I’ll talk to you in the morning!”
As Marcus turned to leave Melissa stood on her tiptoes to whisper in Draco’s ear; “Well that got rid of him” The feel of her lips and hot breath on Draco’s neck and neck reminded him of what they had done. Images of her over him and under him, flashed through his mind. Melissa smiled seeing the images flash through his mind. She liked the fact that a tiny thing like that could bring back a flood of images.
Melissa found that she couldn’t help herself; she put her head down a bit and planted a tentative kiss on Draco’s neck. Draco shuddered as her warm soft lips left the place on his neck. “Should we get going then? We have a lot of stuff we need to get,” She said softly in his ear. Draco nodded, not sure if he was still capable of speech. Melissa smiled and walked off. Draco followed behind her.
