Bumblebee: when we were kids (hp fanfic)

part 5: hanging from the Astronomy Tower

Author's note: Question...should I make the chapters longer? Not like anyone's gonna read this lol...I might make them longer just for funsies..

Mia's pov:

I cannot believe I am actually doing this.

The Astronomy Tower is only to be used during class hours...it was made clear even on the first day here at Hogwarts...that was why Ron and I were so careful about how we approached Malfoy...since he did have a good amount of leverage hanging over us.

I watched as he eyed us both angrily, waiting rather impatiently.

"Alright, bumblebee...let's go then," Draco guided, directing me to the staircase.

I glanced over at Ron, confused, but returned my glare soon to Draco and his piercing gray eyes. 

"-I'm not going anywhere with you...you-" I paused to think of a suitable name, "-you buffoon!"

Draco rolled his eyes slowly and scoffed, "-either you go with me..." He glanced over at the nervous orange-headed boy who was staring down at his shoes, "-or Weaslebee is..." He returned his attention to me in a bragging and accomplished manner, "-you can choose."

I gulped. Draco had always been this way...always had to have the last word...and always had to embarrass someone whenever he could. I looked at him as he raised his eyebrows proudly, his eyes darting between the two of us.

This was a big decision to make...either I hang my underwear from the tower or Ron hangs his...

Either way...one of us would be utterly humiliated.

As much as I didn't want the whole school to see my bright pink underwear...I did it anyway...there was no true harm being done except for my reputation...and my confidence.

I sighed and took one last look at Ron.

 "Fine," I glared confidently at Draco, "-I'll do it."

He smirked in a satisfied manner, taking a deep breath as he straightened out his back, broadening his shoulders rather boastfully, " -shall we be off then? "

I glanced at him, "-One moment please."

I walked over to Ron and smiled awkwardly, trying to keep my voice lowered from Draco's prying ears," -I'm sorry that this happened. "

He eyed me, "...it wasn't your fault...and if I'm telling the truth-" he glared over at the blond boy who was tapping his foot on the floor, pestering us to hurry.

"Well, you saved me from a great deal of embarrassment-" he laughed. He leaned closer to my ear and whispered, "-let's just say that they aren't tidy whities."

I giggled as Ron moved his head from my ear.

"I'll wait for you," he suggested.

I nodded and followed Draco up the long, winding staircase...this is one adventure I'll never forget.

"Alright, take 'em off," he instructed, the two of us standing awkwardly in the room.

He was near the left side of his room, eyeing me peculiarly, and I was on the right side...watching him nervously. His voice echoed off of the old walls and made their way back to my ears.

I made a face at this and rolled my eyes, "Turn around first-"

He crossed his arms and reluctantly sighed as he faced the opposite direction. I watched as his blond head remained fixated on something out of the window.
