The Extra Malfoy

Chapter 9: Friendship Reuinions and Quidditch Matches

I intertwine my hand with Issac as we walk down to the Great Hall, sitting opposite each other as we wait for them to arrive. I look around, watching the faculty rush around preparing for students to arrive. I smile softly and mess with his hands, kissing the back softly. "I think I'll miss this place." I admit to him as he looks around. Issac nods in agreement before turning to look at me. "This place is home. It holds so many good memories." He tells me and I nod listening to her as he talks. I smile softly watching the way his face moves as he talks. His eyebrows raising and lowering depending on what he was saying, as well as how he screwed his nose up slightly. I lean over and kiss him softly before sitting back down again. "You're beautiful." I tell him, causing a light blush to cover his cheeks. I smile widely and look towards the door as I hear people talking. I smile widely as I see Charlie and Pansy walking towards us. "Hey you guys." I stand up and hug Charlie as Pansy hugs Issac I smile seeing the wide smiles on their faces. I hug Pansy before sitting down again. Charlie sits next to Issac while Pansy sits next to me. "How was your Christmas?" I ask the two. "It was incredible. Her family were super supportive of us being together." Pansy says causing me to smile. "Good! So your Christmas was good?" I ask Charlie and she nods happily. "My mom and dad accepted her with open arms so it felt like we'd been together for years." Charlie says and Pansy takes her hands softly. I smile as Charlie asks Issac how his holiday was after he returned back. Pansy turns to look at me, a small smile appearing on her face. "How was your week here?" Charlie asks and he blushes softly. "It was INCREDIBLE. Seeing the family again was a great feeling but I missed this place" he says and I sip my drink to stop myself laughing. Charlie looks at me slightly confused, before looking at Issac. She repeats that motion a few times before she realises. I laugh softly, taking Issac's hand. "Well that explains all the marks over your neck. Did you guys have fun?" Pansy asks and Issac nods her head rapidly. "Oh god I didnt need to know that." Charlie says pretending to be grossed out. I laugh at her reaction and we talk for awhile longer.

A few weeks go by and things remained normal with nothing major occurring. I walk out of Charms with Charlie and Issac, seeing the posters for the Triwizard Cup as well as the 3 school Quidditch games. "Oh god I forgot about that." I say as I read the posters. "About what?" Issac asks me looking the same direction. Charlie stops behind us. "The 3 School Quidditch games. We take the best players from all 4 houses, put them in a team and complete against Durmstrang and Illvermorny. The winner gets a trophy. It's the biggest event of the year. Added with the Triwizard cup, it's like the Olympics for Wizards." Charlie says and I nod. "What's so important about it?" Issac asks and I rub his back softly. "Fred was meant to play on the Hogwarts team with Harry and George, but they benched him for me. I don't want to participate, let alone take Fred's spot but I have no choice." I tell him, muttering softly. Issac nods, kissing my cheek. "I think he understands babe." He tells me and I nod softly, reading the other posters. "Apparently the Goblet ceremony is tonight." I say reading a different poster. We move to class a couple minutes later after discussing the ceremony. We continue our classes for the day and deciding to go to the Mountain again and skip out of the ceremony. Issac lies between my legs watching the sun, as Charlie does the same with Pansy. I smile softly looking around at us all, thinking how different this situation could have been. "Do you ever think about how your life could have been if you had made different choices?" Pansy asks and I nod. "Constantly." I say causing Issac to sit up. "What do you mean?" He asks turning to face me.

"Well, if I hadn't disagreed with my family morals, I would have turned out like Draco. If you and Charlie hadn't transfered from Illvermorny, we wouldnt be together. If Oliver didn't cheat on you, we probably wouldn't be like this right now." I say honestly, picking at the grass we were sat on. "If I was sorted into Slytherin like that Sorting Hat wanted too, would we be still sat here? Probably not." I admit with a small shrug as Issac takes my hands. "If you didn't sit alone in Potions the first day I started, I never would have met Pansy, or you. I wouldn't be happy right now." Charlie says kissing Pansy on the cheek. I nod softly. "I'd still be closeted and hating myself." Pansy admits rubbing Charlie's hands softly. "If I hadn't of found Charlie I don't think I'd be the person I am right now." Pansy says with a smile watching Charlie. "I swear to god if you two don't get married I might breakdown." I tell them to lighten the mood. I smile and we talk for a little longer, before Charlie and Pansy head back to the Castle, leaving Issac and I alone. I wrap my arms around him as we sit around. "Do you remember when my parents dropped me off during Christmas?" He asks me and I smile softly. "Of course I do." I mutter kissing his temple. He smiles and cuddles into me as we watch the sunset.
