The next morning was now a cold, rainy Sunday. Hogwarts was silent from beyond my door as i lay in bed looking up at the ceiling. 

I made myself look presentable before putting on my robes and heading down towards the main common room. Not a single sound or sense of movement coming from anywhere. 

Whatever confidence sprouted out of me and that made me feel so carefree, i do not know but that soon changed once i saw Zabini.

He was laughing and joking as he usually was but the laughter muted once i was in clear view of Pansy. She noticed me, hitting Blaise on the arm as she did so. 

He turned to me, a black eye proudly sitting on his right side. My heart stopped as i felt pity for my friend. He truly didn't deserve a black eye, or any sort of violence his way but the embarrassment ate through me. 

I put my head down and walked away quickly. Avoiding any sort of contact facing my way.

Once i was far away from the portrait, i stopped my pace and began to jog slower until i was completely waking. My head hurt and the image of Blaise's faced rushed through my mind. 

"You didn't mean to hurt me, did you?" A voice spoke aloud. I turned to face the noise to find the bruised brown haired boy. I gave him a confused face. 

"No, of course i didn't bu-"

"But you didn't realize kissing Malfoy would hurt me." He finished the sentence i had started. I shook my head, eyes staring intensely at my shoes.

"Still a little shocked you'd rather Malfoy then me but i'm cool with it." He stated with a soft smirk. I gave him a simple smile. 

"Sorry about your eye by the way." I whispered, slightly uncomfortable that i was the main cause of his injury. 

"Nothing that won't heal. Sorry for shouting." He responded. Once again i gave him a grin and turned away, walking off in the direction he wasn't. I was happy he wasn't angry with me. 

"Friends?" he shouted. I stopped in my tracks and without facing him i shouted back, 

"Friends." Now continuing to walk, growing further and further from his touch.

I walked with a slight skip in my step as the such recent events left me feeling joyful and cheery. I headed to the Great hall as i hadn't eaten anything in the past 24 hours. 

I walked by a wall i knew too well. A smile pulling at my lips. The first place Malfoy and i had began. The room of requirements (Chapter 5).

Without warning a hand, cold and pale, grabbed upon my arms pulling me into what seemed to be a broom closet. The same hands covering my eyes. 

"Guess who?" The boy said. 

I took his hands away from my eyes to find Draco standing only mere inches away. 

"Well that ruins the whole thing if you remove my hands." He said, his bottom lip sticking out like a puppy dog.

"Draco, i'm hungry. Let me eat." I plead, smiling as i do so, joking of course. "A women's gotta eat, don't let me get in the way" He agreed. 

"My room, 12 don't be late." He demanded, placing a peck on my lips and then leaving the closet with a massive grin going across his face.

I exited the broom closet quietly, a smile going from ear to ear on my face. I entered the great hall to see Cedric, sitting there amongst the rest of the hufflepuffs. 

My smile quickly turned to a frown before Hermione waved me over. I was taken aback by the Gryffindor's actions but followed her request and took a seat next to her, Potter and Weasley across from me.

"Hi?" i spoke, unsure. Harry gave me an odd smile before pushing food around his plate then Weaslebee just looked at me, crimson arriving on his cheeks but not a single word coming from beneath his lips.

"I hadn't seen you in class and thought you would want to join us." Granger said. She gave me a smile,

At first i was puzzled but why not have a little company. "I'd love that thanks." I replied.

I ate a bowl of cereal and a thick, un-crusted piece of toast while talking to the students wearing red. Ron and Harry had began to talk to me, which was something i was quite pleased about. 

Eventually i parted my way from the table, saying a rapid goodbye before heading to Mr. Malfoy's room, 11:57.

A hand grabbed behind me, gently though so it couldn't have been Draco. I turned to find a tall Cedric Diggory. "Hey bud." He said, he looked embarrassed and awkward. 

"What can i do for you, Diggory?" I ask, really wanting to give him a hug but resisting. "Look i'm sorry." he stated. 

"For what?" I say, knowing full well what it's for but sometimes you gotta be a bit of a dick.

"I'm sorry for not talking to you"

"and?.."

"and for being mad for no reason."

"and?.."

"don't milk it y/n." 

I sent him a small smile before remember Malfoy's words. "I accept your apology Cedric, and i apologize as well but you've chosen a bad time, can we talk later?" I was now late

"Later?! The only time i'm apologizing and it's still not good enough, where could you possibly be going." He paused, collecting his thoughts and composure. 

"Is it Malfoy?" He yelled. I sent him a small smile avoiding anymore questions, "tomorrow, outside of the forbidden forest, i promise we'll talk." 

I shout as i run away, not once seeing his face or his expression.

When i finally reached Draco's dorm room, i found the door no closed nor locked just slightly ajar. I opened the door to find a room, covered in dark green and black. 

A massive bed sat in the middle, black satin sheets laying over it. A black desk sat in the corner and a floor to ceiling mirror, facing towards the bed. 

Cedric Diggory was no longer in my head but instead the sauvage dior circling through my airways was.

Quiet hums and sounds of running water, made it's way to my ears from the bathroom. How i hadn't noticed before, i do not know. 

I smiled to myself silently listening to his voice, he sounded so angelic and peaceful. Draco Malfoy would never be someone i would imagine linking to the words angelic, especially before this year but it feels like the right thing to say about such a moment. 

The splashing of water had finally stopped. I lay -staring up at the ceiling- on his bed, thinking. "Thought you'd never show, but i suppose you couldn't resist alone time with The Draco Malfoy."
