lifetime | draco malfoy

3 | taunt

          If it weren't for Hermione, you would have been more than late to your first class. She had woken you up at the perfect time. Luckily your professor let you off with a warning since it was indeed your first time being late. All throughout the lesson, you kept thinking about Draco. Not in the way you would have expected you to think of him. It just made you want to punch him again. He constantly bullied you in your dreams last night and it fueled your hatred for him even more. Seeing his face in the halls today drove you mad.

          Unknowingly, Malfoy dreamt of you the same exact night. Only his dream included a rather explicit image of you with Zachariah; the one person he hated just as much as Potter. He didn't understand why he dreamed of you like that, you weren't someone he liked at all. Just the mere thought of you being around him made him furious. He couldn't stand mudbloods like you and yet there he was thinking of you getting fucked by your best friend. His stubbornness kept him from admitting that he wanted to be the person to make you feel good the way Zach had done in his dream.

          Don't get him wrong, the sight of your best friend like that revolted him to his core. But it was different when it came to you. He felt as if he couldn't control himself. He had to learn to separate his thoughts from reality and realize that the dream wasn't real. Or at least, he hoped that dream wasn't a reality. His dorm mates had no idea what Malfoy was up to when he left the common room in the middle of the night just to satisfy himself in the men's bathroom away from everyone else now that he and Brandee weren't together for the hundredth time; he couldn't use her help. He was embarrassed, to say the least.

          Poor Brandee Dims had to put up with Draco's attitude whenever she tried speaking to him. She didn't understand why he was being so disrespectful to her when their breakup was because of him, not her. All she wanted to do was work things out between the two of them and yet he kept giving her the cold shoulder. Brandee slapped him on the arm in front of Crabbe and Goyle as they sat in the great hall at a table. Draco wasn't baffled at her sudden outburst, he was used to it from all the other times this happened between the two of them and soon enough they would be back together again just like always.

          Their relationship was toxic, he wasn't sure if he should even call it a relationship at all. They were only really around for each other if it benefited them in some way – sad but true. "We're done for good this time, Draco." He could see that coming all too clearly. "Fine by me." He said lowly, looking her straight in the eyes. "You can get out of my face now." Those words would have hurt Brandee if she wasn't expecting it but she knew it all too well. Without another word she left him there with Crabbe and Goyle who were completely silent, pretending to mind their business when they were listening to every word.

          The courtyard outside was filled with students since it stopped raining and you went looking for your friends immediately. Caroline was sitting on a bench near a tall tree with Zach leaning against the trunk. He looked bored out of his mind with his black sachel bag hanging off his shoulder. One thing he was looking forward to was quidditch practice. Not playing for a while saddened him since quidditch is one of his favorite things to do, ever.

          Caroline was busy finishing a drawing she started last night on her own in her bed so there was no room for Zach to start a conversation with her at the moment. She likes to concentrate solely on whatever she's doing in front of her or she'll get frustrated with the world. As soon as Zach laid his eyes on you he wooshed his hand over for you to hurry to him. You did so and looked over Caroline's shoulder past her wavy hair to see what she was working on.

A really well-done portrait of Cedric Diggory was inked into the parchment – detailed perfectly down to the way his hair sat on his head. "That's brilliant." Immediately, she shut her book and stuffed it into her bag to hide it away. She could feel her body get hot from embarrassment and tucked her hair behind her ears before turning to you. "You saw nothing!" She exclaimed standing. "Right?" she added with her face filled with worry. It was obvious she had a crush on Cedric, who would take the time to draw someone that well unless you had felt something special for them? She spoke about him with light in her eyes all the time ever since he arrived at Hogwarts. "We saw nothing, relax." Zach reassured her and pat her head a few times.
