arguing, ends with fluff:)
yes the one direction song 'still the one' inspired this:)
and yes i'm watching tom's live again. plz i'm in love with him.
its been two and a half months since you and draco broke up. let's just say it wasn't a happy ending either. you both got into a huge argument that started over something silly, so silly you can't remember exactly what it was. you were both screaming at each other in the slytherin common room about little things that the each of you could do better on.
you were sitting on the dark colored couch staring into the fire while playing with the promise ring draco had gotten you after your four month anniversary. draco was standing a few feet behind you staring into the fire as well. you were glad that he was behind you because he couldn't see the tears silently falling down your face.
"you're just so goddamned clingy, like for merlin's sake don't you have any friends other than me?" draco yelled causing you to flinch. you calmly wipe the tears from your face and stand up to face him.
"yes malfoy, i do have friends, and guess what, one of them happens to be harry potter." you say knowing about draco's feelings towards him. "you know, the boy who you have no reason to be so foul towards. yeah, him. just because-" you continue until draco cuts you off by scoffing.
"you know what, go be with him then. if you talk about him like he's such a saint go be with him! i should have known that it was only a matter of time before you'd jump to another guy. who's after potter? weasley? oh maybe even diggory, i've heard he likes little skanks like you." he says full well knowing that you're totally devoted towards only him.
"well if that's how you feel." you say taking the ring off of your finger and throwing it at him. you see his face immediately fill with regret but you can't stand to look at him any longer. you turn to walk out of the common room.
"y/n..." he says in a calmer tone while he watches you leave.
"save it. i don't want to hear from you, i don't want to see you, i don't want anything to do with you, malfoy." you say harshly with your back turned to him. you walk out of the common room and as soon as you're out of the boy's sight you begin to break down while running away towards your dorm.
two and a half months later you were feeling much happier. you were finally almost all the way over draco. you began to enjoy yourself much more now. everyday you found yourself thinking less and less of your ex-boyfriend and more and more about yourself. a part of you though missed him and wanted him back, but you shoved that feeling down and kept your head high.
you were now sitting in the great hall with the golden trio, who you have become much closer with, laughing about complete the complete nonsense ron was talking about. in your fit of laughter you grab harry, one of your best friends, arm absentmindedly, hugging it as happy tears start to well up in your eyes. the four of you calm down only for a spilt second until you all look at each other and begin to cry out once again. this time turning your head into harry's shoulder still hugging his arm.
little did you know draco was watching you and harry from across the hall. he envied the fact that harry was so close to you. he missed the way that you used to hug his arm when you and him were crying with laughter. he missed seeing you smile and he hates himself everyday for being the reason that for months you wouldn't share it with the world for months.
"mate, you're staring at her again." blaise zabini, draco's best friend, says nudging his arm.
"hm? oh," draco says looking away from you. "she doesn't even notice me anymore. saint potter really does get whatever he wants, doesn't he?" draco huffs. little do either of you know, when draco isn't looking at you, you're looking at him, and when you're not looking at him he's looking at you.
"well loves, i think i'm going to up to my dorm now." you say with a yawn. you hug harry and wave to hermione and ron, who are sitting across from you.
meanwhile, just as you were leaving the hall, draco was feeling tired himself so he said his goodnights and excused himself. you walk towards your common room, humming whatever random tune pops into your head. draco catches sight of you walking alone down the hall and suddenly his feet begin to grow a mind of their own. they begin to take him in the same direction you're heading. you catch a glimpse of draco following you in a window to a classroom, so you make a left turn rather than the right turn you should've made. you turn into an empty corridor and then draco knows he's been caught. he follows you into the corridor and waits for you to turn to him. when you turn around he is looking down at his hands playing with his rings.
"draco?" you say spinning around to finally look him in the eye. "why are you following me? is there something you need?"
draco sighs and then looks into your eyes. "you." he breathes out.
"draco-" you say unsure.
"please, let me talk?" you decide to hear him out. "i was so stupid for letting you go. i really was. i've felt lost without you. i didn't mean anything i said that night and i, well, you're so close with harry now so if you've moved on that's alright too i suppose. but i know that you're still the one for me. i don't think there's anyone else out there that i'll love as much as i love you." he rambles.
"um draco, i-" he cuts you off again.
"i'm so sorry for that night, it was all my fault. i don't know what came over me but i didn't mean for it to happen. i took your smile away from you and-" you decide to cut him off now. with every word draco says your heart flutters. every word that comes out of his mouth makes you fall back into the love you never really fell out of, you just pushed it down.
"i love you." you say just barely above a whisper.
"wait, what?" he questions as if he thinks his ears are playing tricks on him
"i love you." you say louder this time.
"you do?" he says looking at you worriedly, like he thinks at any moment you're going to tell him you're just joking with him.
you step towards him and place your hand on to the back of his neck. you pull his head towards your own and he places his hand onto your waist. draco looks into your eyes looking for consent, even though you initiated the kiss, you nod your head and he pulls you in. it feels like millions of fireworks just went off in and around you. the both of your lips move in sync longingly. you're surrounded by magic everyday, but this is a different type of magic. not one that can be taught or practiced but one that is learned and gained over time.
"did that answer your question, malfoy?" you say breaking the kiss to only connect your foreheads together.
"i don't think so, i'm still confused." he says smiling smugly at you.
"hm cheeky boy, you are, love." you say smiling back at him.
"your cheeky boy, though."
"right you are, right you are. now lets clear up any confusion that you may have." you say reconnecting your lips to his again.
