FORBIDDEN FEELINGS

Chapter 16- Bonfire Night

It's Saturday now. Draco has been ignoring me for the rest of this week. He's such a drama queen. Hermione tells me that because it's the 6th of November there's a big fireworks display happening as it's bonfire night. 

Today we have a girly day, just the two of us. She wants us to get away from boys for a bit. She doesn't know what happened in Sex Ed, but she knows that me and Malfoy are not getting along. 

It's now 9pm and we all make our way to the field. There isn't much there, just Butter Beer stands and a Bonfire getting ready to light. We all have coats, scarves, gloves and some have hats on. Harry, Ron, Hermione and I stand in a small group.

Harry starts a conversation "Cold isn't it?"

"Well, Harry, it is November so obviously it's going to be cold" Hermione snaps.

"Alright. He's just starting a conversation. Jeeez women!" Ron laughs and Harry joins in. Hermione is not impressed. She drags me off to the other side of the field where most of the Slytherins are. I see Malfoy. He just stares at me blankly. What's he thinking? Seamus and Neville see us and come over.

"Hey guys!" Seamus shouts.

"Hey! You excited for the fireworks?" I ask them.

"Yeah. They are so beautiful, Jessa. Last year it was so good so I'm guessing it will be same" Neville tells me.

We all get a Butter Beer and Dumbledore announces that the firework display is about to start. We all get excited and Harry and Ron come over discreetly. Hermione notices and smiles. Suddenly, a bunch of fireworks go off. I look over at Malfoy and his mates. I can see him next to Pansy and the light from the fireworks flashing on his face. He looks at me. We stare at each other for a second causing me to blush.

"Look at that one!" Harry shouts, breaking our staring contest. I watch a red firework explode in a heart shape. Harry smiles at me and I smile back. I look over at Malfoy who is looking at me. He raises his eyebrows up and down and purposely holds Pansy's hand. She looks happy and he gives me a smug smile. It's like he's trying to make me jealous or something. I'm not though. Me, jealous of Malfoy? Absolutely not. I decide to give a bit of payback and I place my head on Harry's shoulder. Weirdly, he puts his head on my head. I look at Malfoy for a reaction. He's walking over. Shit. I quickly lift my head off Harry's shoulder.

"You guys having a double date?" Malfoy teases and Parkinson giggles. Malfoy lets go of Pansy's hand when Ron and Hermione turn around to look at him in anger.

"Go away Malfoy!" Hermione shouts at him.

"No. We've come here to get a better view, so you'll have to move if you don't want us here"

"Fine!" she shouts, and we all move to a new area. As we're walking, I turn around and see Malfoy hold Pansy's hand again with a smile. I roll my eyes and we watch the rest of the display. When the display is finished, we get told to go back to our common rooms. I don't see Malfoy at all. Probably hooking up with Parkinson back at the dorms. I hope not. I mean I wouldn't care if they did.

Back at the common room, we're having a such a good time. Harry is lowkey flirting with me. I regret putting my head on his shoulder. Ooops.
