Forever Truly Yours [Draco M.]

"𝔈𝔩𝔶𝔰𝔢 Lestrange! You are in so much trouble!" She sighs as she hears the sound of Luna stomping her way towards her. Elyse turns around and smiles softly, but winces at the look of anger on the petit girl's face.

"Luna. Hi." Elyse smiles sweetly, when Luna reaches her. She looks up and notices Draco look up at her and give her a questioningly look. Elyse just looks back down.

"Don't Luna hi me! I know you went to Hogsmeade with Draco. And you know how I know? I found out through Pansy Parkinson and do you know how she knows... she doesn't but she knows Draco ditched her at the Yule Ball for you. Where you and him had this beautiful breathtaking dance, according to Cho. And then after the dance, the two of you disappeared, hand in hand, who told me that? George Weasley. Then you decide to leave for the weekend and surprise surprise, so does Draco, I found out from Crabbe! So the only reasonable answer is you ran away with Draco Malfoy for the weekend." Luna huffs, making Elyse look at her wide eyed, before looking up at Draco who is amused by what he heard.

"I... uh... I don't know what to say." Elyse says honestly as she looks back at Luna, who sighs.

"At least tell me you're not mad at him anymore, he stopped being an idiot and you two fell in love. Or give a detailed explanation of what happened." Luna whines, and Elyse nods in agreement.

"Well, let's see. The fall in love part happened during the Ball. He didn't stop being an idiot, he's always an idiot and I'm not mad at him anymore." Elyse says calmly, making Luna gape at her.

"Finally! It took you guys long. I mean everyone knew you two were in love from the beginning, but for a Ravenclaw you were bloody stupid and couldn't see it for yourself." Luna says, causing Elyse to glare at her.

"That's mean. I'm not expert in love." Elyse pouts, and Luna just rolls her eyes.

"Why didn't you say so after the Yule Ball? Instead of saying you're going home!" Luna raises an eyebrow, making Elyse smile sheepishly.

"In my defence. I wasn't sure what really was going on myself." Elyse sighs, making Luna give a questioningly look. "I really didn't. It happened all so fast."

"Okay. Fine I'll let you off the hook this time. But I have an eye on you, Lestrange." Luna says accusingly, making Elyse chuckle softly as she nods in understanding. "Okay, I have to get to class. I'll see you later."

"Yup. See you later." Elyse hums, as Luna walks away. She looks up to see Draco walk towards her with an amused look.

"Quite a detective you've got yourself." Draco says and all she does is shake her head with an amused smile. "I was kind of hoping we could keep us to ourselves for a bit."

"Oh. You were? She won't tell, don't worry." She assures him, feeling a little disappointed that that's what he wants, but she rather respect his choice.

"Okay. Great. Will you meet me in the Astronomy tower later? At six o'clock." He asks, making her hum and nod. "Great. I'll see you later then."

"Yeah. See you later, Malfoy. Don't be late." She smiles, making him snort as he slowly starts to back away.

"Am I ever late, Ely?"

"Always. That's the problem." She says, making him chuckle before he leaves her smiling to herself. Elyse looks up at the clock and sees that it's three, meaning she had three hours to kill before meeting with him in the Astronomy room. She decides to go back to her room and rest before this evening.
