Falling In Love With A Slytherin

Chapter 9

Draco's POV:

I open my eyes and slowly my vision became clear into view. Looking around my surroundings I can see that I'm in the infirmary.

"The sleeping beauty is finally awake."

I turn my head and I see Blaise sitting at the corner of my bed with a smile on his face. Just as I was about to say something, he puts his finger against his lips signaling to be quiet.

Wondering why I had to stay quiet, he points his finger. I follow where he's pointing and I see a sleeping Elizabeth beside me.

With a seat, she lays her head on the bed while her hand was on top of mine.

"She hasn't left since you were admitted here in the infirmary. I don't think she even ate dinner. I tried to invite her to eat out with me just thank her in accompanying me on brining you here. But she denied my offer because she wanted to make sure you were alright by the time you woke up."

I continue to look at Elizabeth studying the features of her face. Slowly my thumb rubs against the skin of her hand. She stirs a little bit and immediately I stop. Thankfully she kept on sleeping.

"She admitted that she cares about you."

I quickly look away from Elizabeth and face Blaise signaling him to tell me more.

"When you crashed to the ground, Elizabeth immediately ran to the field as fast as she could to get to you. Pushing anybody that was in her way. Once she reached you, she kneeled beside you with her crying uncontrollably. Trying to wake you up. Weasley was trying to take her away but she fought with him. It was actually amazing to watch. You have one feisty girl in your hands Draco."

Blaise starts to chuckle. I join Blaise and laugh lightly as well.

"She sure is something." Is all I can say.

"By the way that Gryffindor is pretty cool to talk to. She's alright in my book Draco. Take care of her. A girl like her comes once in a life time."

Blaise gets up from his seat and grabs his stuff.

"Where are you going?" I ask him.

He stretches his arms and yawns.
"It's already 10:20pm and curfew is 10:30. Need to get back to the Slytherin Common Room before I get in trouble by Filch or whoever roams the halls at night. Anyways... I think you want her company more than mine."

Blaise looks at Elizabeth sound asleep. Then he looks at me wiggling his eyebrows.

"Bye Draco. See you tomorrow morning."

I roll my eyes and wave him goodbye before he leaves.

Left all alone with Elizabeth, I lay back on my pillow and face her.

I again start to just study her features. Her rosey cheeks, her long eyelashes, her pink lips and her button nose.

Slowly I lift my hand and gently caress her face. Stoping for a few seconds after seeing if she would wake up, luckily she didn't. I continue to caress her face.

"You have no idea what you got yourself into Swan. How could you care for a person like me? A Death Eater. Your so careless, so naive. Yet your so brave, so free spirited and so different. Blaise is right. You are one of a kind." I say to her as she sleeps.

"Ahem."

Taking my hand away from Elizabeth's face quickly, I turn my head. Seeing Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey standing right behind her. I swear I saw an amused smile on McGonagall's face but she masks it quickly.
