The Forbidden Boy

Chapter 17

"Ron wait!" I called out, desperately trying to get his attention.. This not how I wanted them to find out.

"Really? You and him? Out of all people him?" He yelled. I just looked down. I knew my friends would never approve. Especially Hermione.

"Yes ron! I don't know what else to tell you besides the fact that I do fancy him. I can't help it. I know he's bad, I know he hurts Hermione, and i'm sorry for hurting you like this... I just couldn't help it." I rambled.

Ron is the one person I can't lose. He's been my best friend since day one. If I lose him, or even the golden trio for that matter, my world will feel so small. I can't imagine how badly that would affect me.

"Please, please don't hate me." I begged.

"I don't hate you Estella, I'm just confused as too why you would choose him. I mean I would've thrown my brothers at you if I knew you were looking for someone." He joked. I let out a sigh of relief as I punched his arm.

"Besides, I'm not the one who you should be worried about." He said as he pointed at the back of me. I followed where he was pointing just to see Hermione and Harry standing a feet behind me. My body started to shake, he was right.

"Hey guys.." I said as I rubbed my arm up and down. Without hesitation, Hermione slapped me across my face. I could feel my eyes water. What was I expecting though? A hug?

I spotted Draco standing against the wall as he was watching this whole thing go down. I gave him a look, you know one of those; help me out here looks? He finally got the hint and made his way over.

"How could you do this to me?!" Hermione yelled. Harry didn't say a word, he looks pretty shakend though. I'm honestly okay with Harry not talking to me right now, I don't think I can stand another friend yelling at me, even though deep down I know I deserve it.

"Granger, stop giving her such a hard time." Draco said as he put his hands on my shoulders. He leaned closer to me, making his chest touch my back. His touch made my body feel warm.

"You have no right to talk Malfoy!" Hermione yelled. If you would look closely enough, you could probably see a vain popping out of her head.

"I have no intention of hurting her, so you can stop the damn yelling. I will repeated it constantly if I have too." Draco said in defense. Harry just rolled his eyes out of annoyance as if Draco had been already repeating that phrase.

I looked up at him with a smile. "You mean that?" I questioned. Never in my life have I heard Malfoy talk like this about someone.

"Of course I do." He replied as he wrapped his arms around my chest. Like magic, Hermione seemed to ease down a little.

"I still don't like you, I don't think I ever will but if you hurt her Malfoy, I swear to god that I will make sure you regret laying eyes on her." She said walking away with Harry following.

"That went well, didn't it?" Draco said with a chuckle. I just kissed him.

"Shut it Malfoy." I laughed as I rested my head on his chest.
