I Know You Fancy Me ||D.M.||

Part 15

He wraps his arms around my waist and lifts me up and turns around. I laugh loudly. I feel him chuckle against my back. Slapping his arms in the hope he lets go, but unfortunately it makes him hold me even tighter. But lets me go after a few seconds. "What was that for?" he then asks. "You looked so concentrated, I couldn't resist." I say still laughing a little. "Oh so if you are concentrated I need to poke you in your side?" he asks with a evil grin on his face. I widen my eyes and run away again. "Hey, do not run away from me!" I hear him yell me after. I run through the rows trying to lose him, eventually I run out of the library. Still running through the halls I feel a twinge in my side. Stopping and holding my hand on the spot. Out of breath I hear footsteps slow down until Draco is standing in front of me laughing. "What is so funny?" "Out of breath now are we?" he says, looking at my hand, and the hurt expression on my face. "Are you ok?" he asks concerned and placing his hand on my shoulder. "Yes I am fine just a twinge in my side. It's been a long while since I ran like that." I say laughing. "You did it yourself, you could've stayed there." "And risking you tickling me. No way." I say. I try to stand straight again, but it really hurts. "Auw. Stupid." I curse. "Here come on." Draco says putting his arm around my waist helping me stand straight. I cringe. It actually hurts pretty bad. We walk to a nearby bench and Draco puts me down carefully, letting go of my waist. "No running for you anymore young lady." he says. I laugh. "Yes sir." I reply. "Bloody, I still don't have a book. And Neville should really be wondering where I am." I state. "Ah the boy will be fine. And need me to grab a book for you real quick?" "No don't worry, I will just find one in Hermione's stuff if I really want to read." I say. "So, why didn't you feel like going home?" I ask out of no where. "I don't know I knew most of my friends would go home so I thought, my dormitory for myself, that doesn't sound to bad. Also it is two weeks, two weeks alone. Who doesn't want that?" he says cheerfully. I shrug my shoulders. I guess he is right, but going home wouldn't be a punishment either.  He puts his arm around my shoulder and pulling me into a hug, I wrap my arm around his waist. "Sorry." he says knowing that it upsets me. "It is fine, it is your opinion after all." "I know but still, I shouldn't have said it." he says making me smile a little, knowing he cared. "Now let's get you to your dormitory before Neville comes looking for you." Draco says letting go of me. I nod and let go of him to and try to stand up. It still hurts but its better. "Yes are you ok to walk on your own?" he asks, I nod. We walk to the moving stairs when Neville comes out of our common room. "Where have you been? And why are you walking limp?" he says looking at Draco. "Did you?!" his eyes widened. So did mine, Draco chuckled. "What no!" I say and slapped Draco on his chest. "Hey!" he exlaims. "I was looking for a book in the library, as I told you. And Draco came up to me scaring me making me bump into the shelf and now my waist hurts. So he offered to walk me here." I lie, making Draco look at me confused. I nudge him in his side to tell him to shut up, even though he wasn't saying anything. I just knew he was going to if I didn't. Now he just nodded. "Well whatever, I was going to look for you and see if you wanted to join me for the feast?" "The feast? Is it lunch time already?" I say confused looking from Neville to Draco and back to Neville, Draco just shrugs his shoulders and Neville nods. "Oops." I say giggling. "Well yes Neville I would love to join you for the feast." I say. "Do you want to join too?" I say looking at Draco, who gave me a surprised look. Then he looked at Neville. "Uhm, no thank you. I am not hungry." He says and I look at him confused, he nods to Neville and then left. Why was he being weird all of a sudden again. I will never understand. "Why did you ask him to join? He is a prick." Neville said walking down the stairs to join me and steady me a little. "Well, I don't know, I thought-" "No, he is a prick, we don't hang around with him, you know that. He can't be trusted." Neville says walking further, I know he is right. But Draco acted so different when it was just the two of us. "Are you coming or not?" He says a little annoyed with me. I nod and follow him. Did I upset Neville? By asking Draco to join. "I am sorry Neville, I thought he would like to join, since he helped me come here. But I guess I was wrong, and I should've asked you if it was alright. Sorry" "It is fine, you are just a to nice a person." He says standing still, since I was still limping a bit, so not very fast. "Are we good?" I ask nervously, he nods. "Of course we always were, don't worry." he says looking at me with a smile, I return the favor. Once we walk into the Great Hall, I see Draco standing in the corner. I wanted to talk to him, see what his deal was. But I knew Neville wouldn't let me, so I gave him a smile and walked to our table.
