Blind Sided (Draco Malfoy Love Story)

Chapter Four.

After we spent some time at the Three Broomsticks we decided it was time to leave as it was getting closer to dinner time and we didn't want to be late. Draco and the boys walked a fair distance ahead of Aster and I, Draco was probably walking ahead not wanting to talk to me after what happened. Except the problem with that was that left me alone with Aster and Aster has a big mouth who knows what happened without either of us having to say anything.

"Soo I'm guessing you and Draco snogged then?" her voice is far too smug for my liking.

I hang my head in defeat, "Keep your voice down, yes we uh snogged as you put it so... lovely."

She starts laughing and bumps her hip against mine clearly relishing in the fact that she was right.

"So what was it like? I knew this was going to happen sooner or later." again with her smug tone of voice.

"Oh put a sock in it. Look at how he's acting, clearly something went wrong. He won't even look at me anymore." I glare at his back and then roll my eyes.

"Oh please, I bet the two of you will be together by Christmas and he'll even invite you over for it too." with that Aster skips ahead.

She bulldozes through the boys and somehow manages Crabbe over which is something with how large the oaf is. The guys yell after her to watch where she's going but she just keeps on until Draco turns to look back at me then tells the boys to keep going and he'll catch up with them later, he stops walking and waits for me to catch up with him but I walk right pass him.

He lets out a sigh and catches up with ease to me so he's walking by my side again as if he hadn't been ignoring me for half this trip at Hogsmeade. He grabs my hand and spins me so that I'm facing him.

"What the bloody-" he cuts me off.

"I'm sorry for ignoring you! And I'm sorry for kissing you earlier too, I don't know what came over me!" Draco blurts out.

I take a step back from the suddenness of his apology and then he continues on.

"That was not uh how I wanted it to happen, I had actually planned something out but I guess you'll have to wait for that." His cheeks start to go pink a little.

I smile, "Come on Draco, I don't want to miss dinner."

He looks up at me confused so I just wink at him and walk away, I knew there was no sense in trying to ask what he meant by that so I just acted like everything was normal. He wasn't really one to show much emotion to others so I knew he was no good at processing how he feels sometimes unless it was anger. All thanks to the dysfunctional household he grew up in, especially with his auntie in Azkaban for something he refused to say.

Of course it didn't take long for him to come back to his senses and catch up with me walking by my side in silence, but it was a good silence thankfully. After that it didn't take us long to get back to Hogwarts where our friends were waiting for us at the gates looking rather impatient I bet Aster made them all wait for us. I knew Crabbe and Goyle weren't happy about that because they had just gotten all of their favourite sweets and would be dying to dig into them since I never let them eat it on the walk back. Couple of pigs they are, they always dropped their wrappers on the ground when they did eat on the way back to the castle.

"It's about time you gits! These two wouldn't stop complaining about wanting to eat their sweets!" Aster shouts at us.

"Oy Crabbe Goyle, ever think of actually eating fruits and vegetables before?" I shout back.
