Slytherin Tears

31. To The Task.

Rowan Bailey

I haven't told Draco about Leo, and I don't plan on either. I'm keeping them as far as two people can be, so nothing happens. Lena said I should, yet she said I shouldn't. I know neither of us would actually know what would happen if he finds out.

I haven't talked to Oliver, which I'm honestly just avoiding at this point. I know he and Pansy must've slept together if he's ignoring me too.

Draco and I kissed, still weird to think about. It was good, but I won't admit it to anyone.

A kiss on the cheek, hugging me from behind, interrupts my thoughts. "You're cute." Draco's voice on my neck, making me smile.

We're not as awkward anymore, which Blaise isn't complaining about. He kept throwing pillows at us for not talking and just kissing.

We haven't opened up about feelings or anything like that, but we're getting there. I seriously wouldn't expect it to come soon, since we're both scared to admit whatever's were feeling.

We keep hold of each other, whether is our hands, elbows, or our feet under the table. It's like we don't want to let go of each other's touch.

He kisses the back of my neck before spinning me around to face him, "What are you thinking about?" He smiles, looking down at me. Green eyes, looking at mine.

I smile back, feeling his touch at the slightest under my white polo, "You." I go on my tippy toes to kiss his jaw.

We do this back and forth almost every day, it's better than nothing.

"Sooo, is it true?" Jaden asked, holding my books, leaning on the wall.

I scoff, "Of course it's true, I mean look at them." I put my hand out before crossing my arms, "They're literally meant for each other."

I watch as Row and Draco talk, not breaking eye contact, not dropping their smiles. I always knew this was going to happen, one day or another.

"Oh- yeah." I sense a bit of jealousy but don't mention it. He watched them as well, his head rolled on the wall to look over at them. No smile, no reaction, just a plain look on his face.

I playfully hit him with my elbow, bringing his focus back on me, "Hey, why don't we do something fun tonight?"

"You know I would love to..." he fixes my hair, putting a strand behind my ear, "but I'm spending it with some new friends."

"Who?" I question, watching him watch me.

"Just some guys." he smiles, kissing my cheek.

"Oh- who?"

"Gryffindors."

"Hmm, you're nice."

"Well, I'm a Hufflepuff for a reason." he winks before heading the other way.

Not even a kiss goodbye, ouch.
