Dark Phoenix (A Draco Malfoy fanfic)

Chapter II

Couple of weeks into this year's session and I'm in potions with Professor Slughorn. We are doing a partner task, Professor Slughorn had already picked who out our partners, I unfortunately get stuck with Malfoy. I thought to myself that I may as well do the task alone as Malfoy isn't much help. We were set a task to make a draft of Amortentia, a love potion which creates the scent of which you are attracted to.

We were to do this as revision for when we have a mock O.W. L's. We had completed the potion but I look like a complete mess with ink on my face from taking notes to my shirt untucked and not very straightened up. Malfoy offers a handkerchief, I politely take it and proceeded to wipe my face.

"You've missed a spot."
Malfoy said.

"It's fine, I'm going to take a shower anyways."
I replied.
"Give me it and I'll get it for you."
Malfoy said much softer than before.

I hand it to him with a little bit of attitude. He begins to remove a spot of ink or something from behind my ear. He placed his hand on my shoulder the sharpness of his cold hands and his silver ring made me jump, just by the temperature. It was startling but pleasant after the initial shock.
Professor Slughorn was asking everyone what they could smell from their cauldron. It was my turn but I couldn't smell anything. There was no smell off of the potion. He asked Malfoy who responded with a mixture of Apple and freesia my eye lit up. I'm was currently wearing an Apple and freesia Body spray plus shampoo of which also smelled the same. The bell rang and I was in such relief as I was tired and a hot mess from making a potion of which had no scent for me. 

I headed upstairs and jumped in the shower thoroughly cleaning my face of any ink I could've missed. I stood their water pouring out the shower, as I imagined Malfoy's hands on my shoulders again with the initial shock of the low temperature and the metallic touch of his ring. I lost track of time and realised I was standing in the shower for over an hour. 

It's the next day and it's quidditch day Slytherin Vs Gryffindor. Harry and I are both seekers for Gryffindor but we do alternate games and if one gets injured the other will play on. Today was my turn for seeker. I get on the pitch and see that Malfoy is the seeker for Slytherin house.

It was 50 points for each team and I saw a small glisten of light out of the corner of my eye and immediately knew it was the snitch, I had catch it before Malfoy caught on that I had found it. I was so close to catching it until a bludger started following me.  I continued my chase with the snitch with Malfoy right by my side trying to get it and win his house points. Personally, I think he just wants glory. I reach out trying to grab the snitch, but a bludger tailed the back of my broom and I started falling.
Malfoy sped down towards me trying to catch me, I was about to hit the floor until Malfoy grabbed my arm and helped me on his broom. I held on tight wrapping arms around his stomach, I could feel his very much defined abs underneath his quidditch uniform.

Malfoy flew right by the snitch and I let go of him falling backwards.

"George!!" I shouted.

George came speeding down towards me as I was diving to collect a flying ball which was worth 150 points for our house. I grabbed the snitch then George's broom.

"Gryffindor wins!!" Madame Hooch declared 

I pulled myself onto George's broom, making myself stand whilst holding the snitch until, Blaise lost control of his broom and crashed right into George and I, I went flying and landed on the floor, inevitably making me pass out.

I woke up a day later with a sprained wrist thankfully not my writing hand, So I can still prepare for my mock O.W. L's. Madame Pomfrey discharged me, saying I was good to go. I headed straight towards Andrea and Freya who told me that, Malfoy jumped down off his broom and swooped me up bridal style and started carrying me to the hospital wing. I knew I had to find Malfoy and thank him for taking me to the hospital wing.

It was later in the evening coming up to dinner and I saw Malfoy heading down a corridor looking really suspicious, so I decided to follow him. He went into the room of requirements. I followed shortly after and heard talking, couldn't properly make out a single word but then they stopped someone grabbed me from behind, one arm around my neck in a headlock position and the other one covering my mouth. They slammed me against the wall, hands on my shoulders holding me back against the wall., it was Malfoy.

"What did you just hear."
He hissed.

"Nothing...nothing."
I said whimpering

"Liar."
He yelled even louder than before

"I'm sorry, I'll leave."
I expressed, the sound of fear trembling as I spoke.

"You're scared."
Malfoy said his voice getting noticeably softer.

"What? No...no I'm not."
I lightly dab my eye as a tear forms on my face.

"I'm sorry, you should leave."
Malfoy said with a hint of anger but also sadness.

"Wait, can I ask you something?"
I asked.
"What?"
He said with a very unamused tone.

"Why did you take me to the hospital wing."
I asked. Malfoy turned away.

"Hey Malfoy, I asked you a question."
I said snapping slightly.

"Because if it was me, I'd wish someone would've done the same. Question answered?"
He said his voice gathering more saddened than before.

"Yeah."
I said with a very bland expression.

"Okay, I'm going to leave, I've got a party to get ready for."
I said and walked out.
