Cheerleader

chapter 19

I woke up, my feet slightly cold as the blankets were no longer on them. I could feel Draco's breathes against my cheek.  He was truly a softy. I let out a small giggle and sigh as I look at him mezmerized. His eye flinches slightly and I realized he is about to wake up. I close my eyes and pretend to be asleep. I can feel him shift and look at me. I cant help but smile, as my smile grew I could feel soft lips press against mine. I continue to pretend to be asleep. "playing that game are we?" Draco whispers. His hands run on my shoulder and now to my waist; before I know it he's tickling me. "stop okay im up!" I screech.

He stops and moves closer to me, he moves a piece of hair away from my face. I smile and look into his eyes. I reach my hand over to him and mess up his hair and laugh. "you think thats funny y/l/n?" I think I was the only one who couldn't ever take Draco seriously; probably because I knew he wouldn't hurt anyone. "We have a lot of work today," I say. Draco nods. I give him a little kiss and get up to go get ready.

We made our way to potions class. I liked that class but Draco hated how good Harry was at it. To be honest I was too. Hermione had told me about Harry's book. I know for a fact it's going to be used for the wrong reason one day. I hadn't told Draco about it because he had enough to worry about, he didnt need some weird spell book to be another problem.

I entered the class with a smile and laughed at Hermione as we both brewed our potions. Today was the day of quidditch tryouts. I really wished I could play quidditch; but I was excited to cheer for Ron. I really am a true cheerleader.

As we left potions and walked to our next class Draco told me he had to talk to me. We walked slowly allowing everyone else to walk ahead of us. "Whats wrong?" I finally ask. He looks around to make sure no one is near by. "We have to start working on the cabinet more, we need to start working faster even if that means skipping class." I look at him stunned. "Draco I know you don't mind skipping classes, but I do!" I protest. "What more important our classes or lives?" He asked. I didnt answer. I knew the answer but I hated when he was right. We had barley made any progress with the cabinet, and Voldemort was no guy to play with.

We skipped lunch and headed over to the room of requirments. As we entered we walked through piles of chairs, books, and many more things I couldn't compiheayd. Draco starting our routine to fix the cabinet. I sat on a couch I found and watched him do all he could to fix it. I watched him slowley get mad and frustracted and I knew no matter what I said he would not be pleased. I would help him but last time I tried I messed something up and he wasn't every happy about it. Now I just watch from a far and comfort him.

Bang, I looked up to see Draco had slammed his fist into a pile of desks next to him. "Draco you're going to get hurt," I say as I walk up and make sure he's alright. I can hear him grinding his teeth in anger. "Are you alright?" I ask. I place my hand on his shoulder trying to make him feel better. "What do you think! My life relies on this piece of furniture!" He growls. He pushed my hand of his shoulders giving me a cold look.

"You think I have it easy? You think I don't know how this feels? Draco, Stop and look around- you've pushed everyone away from you. Ever since the start of this year all you've done is yell at people and get mad! We are going through the same thing; but I don't see myself getting mad at everyone over things they can't control!"

I can feel a tear forming in my eye. "And if you think I have it easy or something check again- if only you knew what he told me," I hiss at him. I flop down on the couch and turn so I wouldn't face him. He was starting to become someone I didn't know. Did I even know him?

He stood there for what seemed like hours. At last he came and sat down beside me. The tears I was holding back rolled down my cheek. "What did he tell you-?" He asked softly. So softly it seemed fake. I hold my breath in- hesitating to say what I knew I needed to. He grabbed my hand and rubbed his thumb over my fingers. I took and deep breath and exhaled loudly.

"Well after I got my mark; he threatened me. He- he said that if I made any mistakes, one by one he would kill every person I loved. He said that included my family, friends and- and you. And I cant lose you,"I muttered. I could feel fear rush through me- every emotion I held in come out. Anger, sorrow, fear, and so many other emotions that don't even have names- came out of me.

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" He asked.
"I- I was scared, I didn't want to give you something else to stress about."
He tightened his grip on my hand and pulled me closer to him.
"This is why I wanted to keep you out of this," he mumbled.
I let my body fall in his arms, I missed him.
"I know- but we're in this together," I reassured him.

I wiped my tears and grabbed my stuff, Draco refused to come to class. I sometimes wonder how he was still so smart. "Bye," I whispered and then left.

"Where were you?"
I turn my head to see hermione facing me.
"I just went out for some- fresh air," I say with very little confidence. She looks at me with a blank expression on her face.
"I've missed you y/n, want to class with me?" She asked. I nodded and linked my arm with hers with a small laugh. In those moments all I could think about was Draco and the stupid cabinet.
