We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

33| I Like You

Y/N POV

The champions had started dancing on the dance floor, followed by some teachers then the first student pair were Neville and his date, Ginny. The other students then joined the dance floor with their partner. They were smiling at each other and I supposed most of them were really dating each other.

"Shall we dance?" Draco said, asking me to take his hand.

We soon joined the dance floor. He held my waist and we moved around following the music's flow. We never took off each other's eyes, more like we didn't want to. Although I had to whirl around several times, we would easily find each other's eyes back. He was smiling the whole time, just like me. He pulled me closer each time I twirled. The dance felt different than the ones we had on my birthday.

The session of the formal dance had finished and we were now having some freestyle dance session. Not really what I was into, but I could do it when Draco was the one with me. Flitwick was being paraded by some students. It was simply just a fun time. No hard feeling and just vibing to the music.

I glanced to see Harry and Ron with their dates who didn't seem to be very happy because none of them asked the girls to dance. Harry's eyes met mine, but Draco turned me around to face him immediately.

"Don't look at other guys," he smirked.

"Wanna take something to drink?" He asked.

"Sure," I smiled and we left the dance floor to go to the snack bar. I passed Harry and Ron a weak smile. None of them ever smiled back. The heck was wrong with those two.

It was time for slow dancing sessions. Most of the students had left the great hall. Some stayed, mostly couples and there was Neville with Ginny too. Harry and Ron were still there at the empty table, sitting alone like some pathetic.

Draco pulled me into the dance floor once again. He held my waist with both of his hand and I placed mine on to his shoulder. I was already blushing from the beginning of the ball, so he might not notice it and probably had thought that I was just acting normal.

"Y/N," he called. I responded with a hum.

"Why are we doing this?" He asked, looking deeply into my eyes.

"You asked me to," I replied and he chuckled lightly.

"If I asked you to stay still, would you do it?"

"Probably."

"Then stay still," he ordered.

We stopped dancing but stayed in our position while the others kept going on, not minding us a bit. I was about to ask what was wrong when he pulled my waist closer to his body. Eyes locked as he moved his face closer to mine out of a sudden. His warm lips landed on mine within seconds and I was surprised but I couldn't get away. No, I didn't want to get away. I wished no one saw this or we would be in trouble.

It was a quick kiss but the warmth could still be felt. Butterfly burst into my stomach and I was in joy. But at the same time, I was also confused. What were we doing actually? Didn't he have a crush on someone already?

He smiled a genuine smile. He moved one of his hand, that was on my waist earlier, to touch my face before moving it to the back of my head. He tried to get my face closer to his by pushing the back of my head, but I stopped him. If he was thinking about to kiss me again, I wanted it, I really did. However, as much as I wanted the kiss, I didn't want it to be just a meaningless kiss.

"No," I whispered.

"What's wrong?" He looked confused. Shouldn't it be me who was confused in this situation?
