I Know You Fancy Me ||D.M.||

Part 80

Hermione, Harry and Neville are at dinner with Slughorn, I am not sure who else is having dinner with them. Not that I care, Ron and I are sitting in the Great Hall with Fred and George. "What do you suppose they are talking about?" Ron asks me. "Gee, I don't know Ron. I think they are talking about how annoying you are." I say rolling my eyes. Fred and George start to laugh at my comment. "I think she is right." Fred says. "Haha, funny." "I don't know Ron, how should I know what they are talking about? Am I sitting with them right now?" Ron shakes his head. "I don't know sorry, I don't even know why I am this interested in it." "Well, don't worry, they are for sure not talking about you. Just eat, you haven't touched a thing." I point to his plate. "Yes mom." he says and starts to eat. "Then you have to eat too." he says stuffing a worst in his mouth, I shake my head. "No, I am not hungry, but I knew Hermione, Harry and Neville wouldn't be here so I decided to join you." "That is thoughtful, thanks. But I still think you need to eat. I notice that you don't eat that much anyway. Are you ok?" he says, I didn't realize it. But I don't eat that much in general. "I am fine, thanks. Don't worry." I say shrugging it off. "If you say so." Ron says stuffing another bite in his mouth. "Besides, if you keep eating like that there will be nothing left for me anyway." I laugh. "Shut up Soulton." "Oh, not very friendly." after dinner we walk back to our common room. Hermione, Neville and Ginny are walking a bit in front of us, so I walk a little faster to catch up with them. "Hello. How was dinner with Slughorn?" I ask now walking beside them. "Good, I only had dessert but that was good." Ginny replies "Why did you only have dessert?" I ask, but when she doesn't answer me I look to Hermione, in the hope she knows. "I will tell you, not here." she whispers. "So, where's Harry?" Ron asks walking on the other side, next to Ginny. "Uh, he stayed in Slughorn's office." Hermione tells us. "Why?" "I don't know." "Weird." I say. "Ronald, are you excited for your first Quidditch match tomorrow?" "I am pretty nervous actually." he admits. "I think you will be great!" Lavender says now walking beside Ron. Looking at him as if she will die when she looks away. Sickening, really sickening. "Baby girl! Wait." I hear from behind me, I stand still and turn around. Draco is running up to us. "I will be right in, go ahead." I tell the others, they walk on. "What's wrong?" I ask. He kisses me once he is in front of me. "Hey." he whispers. "Hii." I giggle. "So, what's wrong?" I ask again. "Nothing, just wanted to see you, maybe you want to go for a walk?" "Sure, but it is late. Are you sure you want to go for a walk now?" he nods, grabs my hand and walks back towards the Great Hall. "Couldn't you have stopped me when I left the Hall? Now I have to walk this three times." I whine. "Want me to carry you?" he says I laugh. He stops walking, so I do the same. He stoops and picks me up. His arms under my legs and back. I laugh and swing my arms around his neck. "Better?" he asks. "Yeah." I say resting my head on his chest. "I love you." I whisper. "Love you too. Baby girl, I really really do." he says I hug hold him tighter as he walks to the doors of the school. "I am sorry we haven't really been together lately. I have been busy with, uh, stuff." he says as we walk towards the Great Lake. "It is ok babe, I missed you, but I can't expect you to spend every minutes of every day with me." I reply squeezing his hand a little. "Good, I am glad. So what are you doing for Christmas this year?" "Uh, I don't even know yet. I almost forgot it is almost Christmas. I think I am going home though. Do you have anything planned?" "I was thinking of staying here this year. I don't want to go home. Now that I am a Death Eater and I don't know what the Dark Lord will want from me if I do." Draco says, a crack in his voice. We get to the Great Lake and sit against a tree standing beside it. "You can come with me? If mom is ok with that. And if you want to." I say after a while. "No, I can't do that." "Why not?" "I can't ask you that." "But you don't, I offer it to you. Please babe, I would love to spend Christmas with you!" I lay down with my head on his chest. I can feel his steady breath's and his heartbeats. "Please?" I say again, when he doesn't reply. "No, I can't. Sorry." "Ok." I say, we lay there for a while, not talking. Not knowing what to say. I feel like we are drifting appart Draco, and I hate it. "Sorry baby girl. I love you but I can't come home with you fro Christmas break. I just can't." Draco says all of a suden. I look up at him, he looks defeated, sad, hurt, broken. Not the Draco I know, I hate seeing him like this. "It is ok, babe. I shouldn't have asked it in the first place. It is not your fault." I lean up to him and kiss his cheek. "I love you." I say, he doesn't reply again. I sigh and lay back on his chest. Before I know it I fall asleep, by the Lake, in Draco's arms. Not my smartest plan, but for now it is fine. As long as we wake up on time tomorrow morning.
