YOUR POINT OF VIEW

      I woke up in the morning and looked at the clock. It was 9:00 in the morning. We were late for class! I slowly and carefully moved Malfoy's hand off of my waist. Then I felt him pull me back. He sat up and looked at me and said "good morning." "We're late for class!" I said. "Don't worry. I got up early this morning and told Dumbledore that you were not going to be in class today." He responded. "You- you bitch!" I yelled back. "I'm going to have so much homework- and Snape is going to kill me!" He just stared looking amused. "Go take a shower and cool down." He said laughing.

             I stepped into his private bathroom, and holy shit. This bathroom had elegant gold paint lining the white marble furniture. The bath had multiple settings which you could release different scents, and the shower was massive. I ran the bath water, and chose the scent lavender. I got undressed, and stepped in. I don't know if I had ever been this relaxed. I stayed there for an hour until the water started to feel cold. I got out, and drained the water. I put a towel around myself and walked back into the dorm. Malfoy smirked and handed me his spare quidditch hoodie and some sweat pants to change into. "Well look away pervert." I said laughing. He turned the other way as I changed. Once I was done, he threw me a red apple. "I thought you'd prefer a sweet one over a sour apple." He said flushing slightly.

             I had never seen this side of Malfoy before. He was nervous, vulnerable, and caring... almost. I got back in bed and just sat there silently. "Whatcha thinking about?" He asked quietly. I realized that I was fidgeting with the apple in my hands. "Oh. Erm- nothing. Just..." I stopped. I was about to tell him how much I appreciated him taking care of me right now. "Just?" He asked. "Just wondering why the son of a bitch Malfoy is acting so nice." I said with a smirk. He rolled his eyes and pulled me close to him again. "I really care about you Princess." He whispered. Our faces were inches apart. I could feel my heart racing as his cold hands started to slowly pull me closer. I could smell his minty breath on my face. I saw his icy grey eyes stare right through mine in a way that he had never done before. It wasn't intimidating. Just caring.

He leaned even closer as I started to tilt my head. "This didn't feel right. It's so wrong. But- I feel like I can't resist..." I thought. I wanted right then to kiss him like I had never kissed anyone before. He had saved my life. I backed up and right as he was about to kiss me I put my hand out, gesturing for him to stop. "Malfoy, we can't. I don't like you like that." I said. I was lying, and he could obviously tell. I looked down and fidgeted with my hands. "Malfoy, I owe you my life, and I'll never forget it, but this is so wrong. After you had saved me, and took care of me so well, I think that we could be really great friends again. I don't want a relationship to poison what good of a friendship we can have." I said. I was lying to himself and myself. "Malfoy, I don't even know you." I said. He looked down, and looked back at me, and nodded.

"Malfoy, I'm really sorry." I said. "No. Don't be. It's my fault." He responded. We sat there in uncomfortable silence for a while, when he got up and headed to the door. "Oh. He's leaving me alone." I thought. He looked back at me and said "well are you coming or not?" We went down to the lake. We walked around and talked the whole time. We talked about how much we regretted that sorting day, and how Malfoy was only acting like that to keep his reputation. We talked about how lonely we were without our old friendship.

"I think..." he started to say as he turned to face me. "I think I want to be like a brother to you." He said. "A brother?" I asked. "Yeah. Someone who you can go to when your sad, and someone who will always be there for you. In a friend way. I can protect you, and you'll be like my little sister." He said. "I think, that sounds wonderful." I said grinning. We walked down closer to the lake. I playfully splashed water on him. "Oh it's on." He said. He splashed me back." I gasped as the water was so cold. I went to push him in the water, but tripped on a rock. We both came crashing down into the water. We both laughed hysterically.

"Y/N?" I heard a voice say. It was Hermione. "What are you doing with this dirty little cockroach?" I realized how this looked to her. I was on top of Malfoy, as we had both fallen over. "Oh Erm- nothing. We were just playing in the water." I responded. "You realize that this is Malfoy. Right?" She asked. "Uh- yeah. I'll explain later okay?" I said. "Alright
Y/N." she walked away leaving us alone. We stayed there until it was dark out. It was around 7:00pm, and we were in the water watching the sun go down. The sky turned a vibrant orange pink shade.

Malfoy started talking about the stars and the moon. "Do you think that there's anything out there for me? A better life? A safe home?" He said. Malfoy's parents never pay attention to him, and when he disappointed his father, he would get hit. "I suppose." I said. "But I think that you can find peace right here." I said. I laid my head on his chest and listened to his steady heartbeat as we watched starts full the sky. "Malfoy, I never really thanked you. Thank you for saving my life. If you never had, I could've never experienced this beautiful moment." I said.

"I think that we can be the best of friends in the world." I said. "Are we not already?" He asked. "No. Not yet." I responded. "There!" He said as he pointed to the sky. "The constellation that I was named after. The Draco constellation." "Hmm. Looks kind of like a dragon! Like the one I had cut the head off of!" I said laughing. "That's because it is." He said. "We should be heading back to the castle." He said. We got out of the water and started heading back. Even though it was hot outside, the water which cling to our skin, was making it unbearably cold. We entered the castle and he walked me to the Gryffindor common room.

I took off his quidditch sweatshirt, leaving only a sports bra on, and handed it to him. "I'll give you the sweatpants tomorrow. Okay?" I said. "Okay." He responded quietly. "Are you okay sleeping alone?" He said. He looked quite worried. "Yes Malfoy. Now get back to your dorm." I said smiling. I gave him a hug and said "Goodnight Malfoy." I turned around and headed inside the common room.

There was Hermione, Ron, and Harry all sitting on the couch. "So Y/N. Want to tell us what's going on with Malfoy and you?" Said Hermione. "You told them?" I asked her. "Yeah. I told them that I saw you two in the water laughing with you on top of him." She said, looking disgusted. "Well, it's not what it looked like." I said calmly. I explained to them how Malfoy had saved my life the other day, and how he was taking care of me today. I told them how we decided to be friends again, and we weren't doing- anything, just playing in the water.

Hermione, Ron, and Harry sat there looking surprised. I was just too tired to stay awake any longer, so I went upstairs, changed into some fresh clothes, and went to sleep.
