chapter 28- fourth year

after my night in the infirmary i head back to my dorm to get ready. when i had woken up draco was already gone. i walk back to the dorms, and smile as i recall the night before, and think back to right before i fell asleep and remember draco humming. a light tune, a nurse rhyme i think it was.

  unconsciously i start to hum it as i pass by the common room.

   "what are you singing?" dracos voice asks from behind me.

   "a tune." i reply back smiling.

   "from where?" he asks curiously.

   "you." i say smirking.

   "you heard that? i thought you had fallen asleep." he says and takes a deep sigh.

    "you should hum more often it was nice to listen to." i say still smirking at him. he rolls his eyes and i start to walk away when i notice his footsteps following me.

    "draco im going to my dorm." i say not turning around, but continuing up the staircase.

    "okay." he says not turning around. i sigh knowing i won't be able to argue him on how boys don't go into the girls dormitories.

     "if we get caught you're taking the fall." i mutter as we walk down the hallway.

   once we reach my room i throw my bag on the floor.

     "i have to take a shower." i say opening the door for him to leave.

     "i'll wait. i have to talk to you about something."
     "fine." i say and grab my uniform and a towel, heading into the bathroom.

    after im done with my warm shower, i dry my hair down with a fresh towel. then i pull over my uniform.

     "aren't you like late to class or something!" i yell to draco from inside the bathroom.

     "skipping." he says loud enough so i can hear him.
  after hearing that, i brush through my hair and put on light makeup. finally i step out into the room, to find draco lying on the bed. half asleep.

   "draco?" i ask dropping the towel into the laundry basket.

    he sits up, rubbing his eyes slightly. his hair is messy and his tie is loose.

   "took you long enough." he says smoothing out hair. i laugh and walk over to him, grabbing my book that lays on the floor and shoving it into my bag.

   i look up to him and his hair is smoothed out to one side.

   "your hair looks better," i say taking my hand and ruffling it through his blond hair, "like that."

   he raises and eyebrow at me, and i smile still looking at him.

   "your hair looks better," he takes a piece of hair and tucks it behind my ear, "like that." he says and smirks at me.

  i push him gently and grab my book bag.

   "come on snapes going to kill us because we are so late." i say dragging him out of my dorm.

    "but i wanted to tell you something-"

    "later! snapes going to hex us i swear."

  as we walk down to his class i walk in first taking a seat neck to nott again, sadly. and after a couple of minutes draco walks in, making it less suspicious that him and i where together.

   when i sit down i feel snape walking up to me.

   "miss y/l/n, what excuse do you have for your absence?" his voice monotone.

   "infirmary sir." i say handing him a note from the nurse.

   "i see," snape says eyeing the note, "that... incident yesterday- you seem to be doing just fine now." he says with no emotion. he obviously didn't care.

   "yes professor, im good now." i say forcing a smile.

   "that's just great." snape walks away without another word, over to draco. he gives draco a glance then walks back over to his desk. of course he got no punishment.

  while i am working on my brewing i turn my head slightly and glance over to draco. his hair is still messy, exactly like the way i had placed it earlier. i touch the piece of hair still tucked behind my ear and noticed i haven't bothered to move it either.

   "hey which ingredient do you put in first."

   "the fluxweed." i say dryly, pointing to the purple flower and removing my hand from my hair.

   "oh- yeah, that's what i thought it was but thanks." he says coolly.

   "hey what happened to you- you know at the second task?" nott asks as he adds the fluxweed into the pot.

    "uh- someone got stuck and i helped him."

    "potter was it?" he asks turning his attention to me.

    "yeah." he scoffs as he mixes his substance.

    "potter really?"

    "i couldn't just let him die nott." i bite back glaring at him.

    "he would've been fine." he says not looking at me anymore.

    i roll my eyes and begin to stir my potion faster, getting annoyed with him.

    "maybe if you wouldn't have been the proud little hero, you would've placed first. higher than that hufflepuff."

     "i got second- better than you could have ever done." i say bluntly, watching his face turn with anger.

     "professor snape, i'd kindly ask to change seats." theodore says with his hand held high in the air and a pleading smile plastered on his face.

   "no." snape simply stated, glaring at the both of us. i hold in my laugh and whisper to nott, "sorry man."
  he scowls at me before returning  back to his brewing.

  after my class i hurried out of the door, stopping myself from waiting for draco. as im heading down to the dungeons i hear blaise shout my name.
   quickly i spin around and eye blaise running up to me.

   "y/n, hey." he says and i smile at him.

   "hi blaise."

   "pansy says you never came back to your dorm last night- did something happen?" he asks as i walk to my next class.

   "no, madam pomfrey just asked i stay for the night."

   "oh- yeah and draco, well we he never came back until like really early in the morning," i stop walking, "was he with you?"

    "uh- yeah, he probably just feel asleep on the chair or something when i feel asleep." i lie and start walking again.

    "ohh okay." he says believing my lie.

    "i'll see you later then, i have free period so im heading down to the dungeons."

    "okay bye y/n!" blaise shouts as he backs away, running slightly so he isn't late for class.

    "bye blaise!" i yell as he turns a corner and the painting on the wall gives me a dirty look.

  once i arrive at the common room i shout the password and walk in. as soon as i enter my glance falls on two people. pansy parkinson and theodore nott. both of them turn to me and smirk.
