Forever Truly Yours [Draco M.]

𝔈𝔩𝔶𝔰𝔢 smiles as she and Hermione walk towards the stands. Hermione said that Ron couldn't make it so it would only be the two of them. Elyse had realised that she had judged Hermione too prematurely and that she was actually enjoyable to have around. Of course, she didn't imagine them suddenly becoming best friends, but at least they didn't hate each other anymore. As they near the stands, someone calls out for the Ravenclaw student and she stiffens at the sound of his voice.

"So Draco drops you and now you go running to his enemies. Must not have been very loyal to him to start." Goyle snarls, making the two girls turn around and Elyse rolls her eyes as she notices Pansy along side with a smirk. "Wait, until he sees this."

"Are you not satisfied yet? Draco and I are no longer friends, what do you want now?" Elyse snaps, making Pansy chuckle as she shakes her head.

"We want to make sure he never wants to be friends with you, Elyse. Right now, he still hopes for you to come crawling back." Pansy huffs, clearly jealous of that and Elyse smirks.

"Oh. So you're just mad that Draco actually liked me, contrary to you? Wow, okay. Go ahead brag that you spent the night with him, but I'm sure he wasn't even thinking of you, rather me." Elyse says tauntingly, making Pansy get angry at her. Hermione can't help but snicker from behind Elyse.

"You bitch." Pansy snaps as she pulls out her wand and points it at her. "What's stopping me from using a Hex on you?"

"Because if you do, you'd be next." Another voice jumps in, making everyone turn to look at Draco, who doesn't seem pleased whatsoever. Hermione smirks knowingly, as she slightly shoves Elyse, who is shocked he is even here. "Now, Pansy be a darling for once in your life and leave."

"Draco, you can't possibly-" She tries to defend herself, but Draco cuts her off.

"Pansy. Enough. You have no right to treat Elyse the way you do. Unlike you, she actually has values, you're just an attention seeker. And if things don't go your way, you try to crush everyone in your way. So, I will not repeat myself. Leave." Draco snarls as he moves to stand in front of Elyse in a protective manner.

"I'll tell your father about this." Pansy screeches, making Draco's eyes squint as he makes his way towards her and grabs her tightly by the neck.

"You dare threaten me? Must I remind you that you are a nobody, compared to me." Draco snaps, as he throws her to the ground. He pulls his wand out, making Elyse's eyes widen. "Disrespect me or Elyse again, I dare you."

"Draco!" Elyse exclaims as she moves to stand in front of him, she puts a hand on his chest and softly pushes him back. She glares at Pansy, before focusing on Draco. "Don't do it. She's not worth it."

"Ely." He breaths out as he looks down at her and the anger immediately vanishes from his eyes to turn into sadness. She shakes her head.

"I'd leave if I were you." Elyse says as she turns around to face the Slytherins, who seem to be afraid to anger Draco even more. Without hesitation they all run away. Elyse turns around and sees Hermione smile at her softly.

"I'll see you around, Lestrange." Hermione says, making her smile gratefully before she leaves. Elyse is left alone with Draco, who looks down, not daring to meet her eye.

"I'm sorry. I should have been earlier." He sighs sadly, making her smile weakly. She notices his tie being crooked so she fixes it, making him look up.

"Better late than never, I suppose. And you're known for your lateness, Malfoy." She hums as she drops her hands to her side as soon as she finishes fixing the tie.

"Why are you not shouting at me right now? Why are you not mad?" Draco asks softly and she can't help but chuckle softly as she shakes her head.

"I'm still mad at you, Malfoy. But right now I'm more grateful that you stood up for me." She says, making him smile softly, before he clears his throat.

"I'm sorry. I should have done it sooner. When you said I was ashamed..." He trails off and her heart drops as she remembers that night. She is about to say that she didn't mean it, but he cuts her off. "You were partially right. I'm not ashamed of you, Ely. I could never be ashamed of you. But, I was ashamed of the way you made me feel. I was ashamed and afraid, because I thought people would think I'm weak. I was afraid they wouldn't consider me a Slytherin anymore."

"Draco. I get it now. I do. I didn't before, but I understand. It's not easy for you." She says, but he shakes his head.

"No. It's not an excuse, Elyse. Being in love doesn't make me weak, but it makes me stronger. Because when I have you, I have every reason to fight. But without you, what's the point." He sighs, making her smile warmly, before she impulsively puts her hand behind his neck and pulls him down to connect their lips. He is stunned at first, but quickly melts into her arms as he wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her closer. After a while they both pull away to catch their breath, leaning their foreheads against each other. "Does that mean you're not mad anymore?"

"I'm still mad. But I forgive you." She says, making him grin happily. "And honestly kind of hard to resist you, Draco. You're kind of super hot when you get mad."

"Aren't I all the time?" He asks, making her roll her eyes. He can't help but smile happily at her. "I've missed this. I've missed us."

"Me too. Now, come on. Before we miss the whole tournament." She says, making him chuckle as he takes her hand and starts leading her towards the stands.
