As the World Caves In

who makes you feel

Skye

    A month passes by but Draco and I are still going strong, he's starting to show more affection which is weird but also nice. We're in the common room studying, I'm writing my homework for potions but Dray keeps interrupting me "Hey Skye" I don't answer. "Skyee" he says as he pokes me in my arm repeteadly. "Pay attention to mee" he continues. It's good that it's only the two of us in the room otherwise he wouldn't act like that. "Are you done? I wanna talk" he asks with a pouty face. "Almost ready" I say as I'm writing the last sentences of my assignment. He puts his head down on the table pretending to be sad. "You're really needy" I say as I chuckle. "Done, princess?" he says annoyed but with a smirk. "That's a new nickname" I turn to him while he goes to the couch. "I don't know how I feel about it" I tease him as I sit down next to him. "You are a princess to me though" he says while touching my neck and face with his hand. "Just kiss me already" I look him in the eyes smiling when Blaise walks in "Yeesh guys get a room" he turns to us bothered as he sits down on a sofa. "Your timing is great Zabini..." Dray says to him irritated as he takes his hand off of me. So I just put my legs in Draco's lap and my head on the other end of the couch, laying down. "We have our first quidditch match in two days against ravenclaw" I say as I'm  looking at the ceiling. "We'll be fine" Draco says as he strokes my leg. "I hope you're right" I say to him as I wonder how the team has been kind of falling apart since last year. Some people graduated so I had to pick new players and they need more practice. Anyway it's late so I say "We should get some sleep so we survive and don't lose all our will to live tomorrow at Umbridge's class." I get up from the couch but I feel Draco grabbing my hand and pulling me closer to him so that he could kiss me. I hear Blaise scoff so I give him the finger while kissing Dray. "Night love" he says as I walk away I can still hear Blaise making fun of Draco.

    At our Defense Against Dark Arts class I piss off Umbridge yet again and get detention again. I get really angry because she still doesn't teach us any spells so I told her I'd try out the Deprimo spell on her, basically blow a hole through her. That was the moment when she gave me detention. I would have punched her and that'd have probably got me expelled but fortunately Draco was holding my hand under the table, so I couldn't. After the class is over I storm out of there while cussing. "I can't believe her. She's making me crazy!" I raise my voice but Draco follows me and says "I know, but as how things are we'll probably have a different teacher next year so.." trying to cheer me up. "Can we just do something to blow off steam cause I feel like I'm gonna explode" I ask him while going up and down trying to calm myself down. "Yeah boxing or quidditch this time?" he asks me. He really knows me I think to myself. "I'd like box" I smile to him briefly. "Let's go" he says and we go to the dungeons. I put on my boxing gloves and train with Draco for a while but I realize I've got to get to detention. "Do you want me to accompany you?" Draco asks as he helps me take off my gloves. "No, I'll be fine, thank you. See you later!" I say to him and give him a peck on the lips. I put my robe on and head out. I didn't want him to come with me because everytime after detention you can see the writing more clearly on my hand and I don't want him to worry about me. I step in to Umbridge's office for the 6th time in a month, it might be a world record. "Welcome back" she greets me giggling. "Hello professor" I fake smile at her. She points to the chair and says "You know the assignment." I sit down and start writing. My pain tolerance is really high but the constant itchiness is really annoying. When she says I'm finished I go back to the dungeons and on my way there I look at my hand, it keeps getting redder every time I have to do this. I try hiding it as I realize I'm already at the dungeons when I see Draco and some other slytherins sitting at the common room. "Hey babe how was it?" Dray asks as he makes space next to him for me by looking at Pucey intimidatingly which makes him leave. "Just the usual, nothing much" I respond while I sit down next to him and give him a quick kiss. He tries to take my left hand to hold it but I don't let him "What's wrong?" he looks at me weirdly. "Nothing" I respond but don't look at him. "Give me your hand" he says putting his right palm out. I give him my right hand but he says "The other one" with a demanding tone. I can feel everyone staring at us. "Can we go somewhere more quiet?" I ask him shyly and he nods. We go up to my dorms, sit down on the bed and again he shows me his palm, meaning he wants me to show him my hand. I put my left hand in his and I can see the shock in his face when he sees the writing on it. "She did this to you right?" he asks furiously. "Well, kinda... She makes me write these stuff with a special quill that uses my blood as ink." I explain to him. "My father will hear about this!" he jumps up. "And what will he do? Umbridge is from the Ministry, I don't think he can stop her..." I say to him with a sorrowful tone as I lie down on my bed. Draco sits next to me, takes my hand and caresses it. "Why didn't you tell me about it?" he asks. "I didn't want you to worry" I answer. "I should've noticed it sooner..." he blames himself. "Don't try to make this your fault, I'm fine" I sit up and fondle his face. "Wait but all the boxing didn't make it worse and the quidditch match tomorrow?" he asks worried. "I'm gonna be okay Dray, don't worry" I smile at him. "I'll take care of you" he promises as he hugs me.

     It's the day of our first game this year. After winning last year the stakes are high and I don't feel good about it because our team isn't in sync. But I must have a positive mind set after all I am the captain. There's a quick meeting in the common room before we get out on the field, I try to encourage them. Before the match starts Draco whispers in my ear and says: "If anyone hurts you I'll make them regret it" I smile to myself and giggle then say to him: "Win for me will you?" as a response he just kisses me. The game begins and we're doing pretty good, I take the quaffle pretend to pass it over to someone else then throw it in the hoop, scoring. I'm trying to get away from a bludger that has been hit my way but as I do that the other one comes and hits my hand, possibly breaking a few bones. So I try to avoid the pain and just stay on my broom and do my best. I see Draco from the corner of my eyes looking at me, he wants to fly over to me and check up on me (also kill whoever hurt me because he has anger in his eyes) but I put my right hand up signaling him to stop and just focus. We're down by 20 points when the Seekers get into action, so as everyone's looking at them I use that moment and try scoring another goal. One of our newbies passes me the quaffle, I trick my opponent by quickly turning upside down dodging him and throwing the quaffle in. I hear the blast which means the game has ended and we won, Dray catched the golden snitch. I hastily get on the ground and give a signal that I'm in need of medical help. Draco gets next to me quickly but before he could say anything I go: "Maybe if I got injured more often you'd be a better player" I say jokingly to him. The slytherin team comes and picks Dray up to celebrate as I go with Madam Pomfrey to the infirmary.
