I Can And I Will

TWO|MALFOY

When I leave Dumbledore's office I find myself lost in my thoughts, if my mother knew he was coming for us why didn't she save herself as she did me, I guess now I'll never know.

I enter the large hallway with the light seeping through the archways and am kissed with sunlight on my face, I walk over to one of the windows and see the reflection the sun is giving the lake, analyzing every thread of light left on the water's surface. I close my eyes and throw my head back allowing the sun's warmth to kiss my neck making me grow a smile of pleasure on my face.

"No sun where you're from?" A voice from behind speaks snapping me out of my day-dream.

I spin around leaning both palms against the window ledge to see a tall boy with white hair and eyes that any person would get lost in.

"Scientifically speaking I don't think you'll find any place that doesn't have sun," I say sarcastically. 

"Hm try Azkaban Prison." He huffed.

"Azkaban?" I questioned. 

"Right you're the girl who decided to make an entrance with a light show, almost blinded me thanks for that," He laughs drawing a faint smile. 

"I wouldn't say it was an entrance per se but I do apologize for hurting those pretty eyes of yours." 

"You think I have pretty eyes." He inches closer to me dragging a cigarette to his lips ensuring he doesn't lose eye contact with me.

Did I really just say that out loud, "You must be hearing things." I break the eye contact and step to the side and hear him flick his lighter sparking the tip of his cigarette.

"Are you allowed to smoke here?" I say with my mom like personality. 

"Do you see a sign telling me otherwise?" He was defiant and good at it. 

"No, but it is just common courtesy." I look around.

"Don't care much for that." He says offering me one from his pack.

"I'll pass." I face back to him. 

"You're no fun, Elora." 

"Since you know my name I think it's only fit you tell me yours," I suggest. 

"Malfoy...Draco Malfoy." He speaks confidently and I see the corners of this lips curl into a smile.

"Well, Draco before you get caught out I think it's only right I tell you now that a teacher is walking our way and I'm sure you and your disgusting habits don't feel like being dragged up those stairs right now." He takes the half-smoked cigarette out of his mouth swiftly tossing it out the archway and moves closer to me so his body is pressed against mine leaning down to my ear and whispering closely. 

"I owe you, Lovis." His breath grazes my neck sending shivers down my spine. 

The teacher walked past us both giving us a gentle nod before continuing his journey, Draco following after.

After Draco rushed away Harry came around the corner seconds later.

"Sorry, I'm late Hermione's cat ran wild again." We exchanged a laugh."Let's go then, don't want to keep everyone waiting." He speaks trying to regain his breath.
