Dinner.
As I walked back to the common room, my head swam. Harry bloody Potter just kissed me. My lips still tingle from the thought. What the fuck just happened? My mind replays that moment over and over as I walk into the portrait hole. I breathe a sigh of relief when I find the common room empty, I briefly wonder where everyone is, before turning to my dorm and collapsing on my bed. I remember that it was dinner and everyone would be in the grand hall. I sigh and walk back up the the great hall. As I enter the room, I see Pansy and Blaise sitting at our table, plates already filled with food. I turn my face into what I hope is a normal smile before walking up to them. But of course Pansy immediately notices.
"What's wrong Draco?" She asks, worry seeping into her voice. I shake my head.
"Nothing Pans," I say as I fill my plate with food, even though my appetite is gone. She raises her eyebrow at me before turning to Blaise as if saying, does he really think we're that stupid?
"Is it Potter? We both know that's where you went before dinner. " She asks. I go to shake my head before remembering that, yes it is Potter. I slowly nod and watch their faces for a reaction. Blaise just rolls his eyes before going back to eating, but Pansy keeps staring at me. I look at her and she shrugs.
"Please just ask him out before I do it for you, Im tired of hearing about 'Saint Potter'. " She rolls her eyes and goes back to chatting with Blaise.
I blush and look down at my food before taking a few bites. We continue eating and chatting like this till dinner is over and we head back to our common rooms. As we head to the dungeons, I see Potter walking down the stairs. He catches my eye before winking at me and walking off to find Granger and Weasley. I blush and hope that Pansy didn't notice. But of course, she did. She looked between me and Potter before her eyebrows practically flew off her forehead. She looked at me before shaking her head and turning back to her conversation with Blaise. I follow behind them as we approach the portrait hole. Blaise says the password and we walk in. We sit down on the sofa and keep chatting for a while before we decide to get ready for bed. I walk to my dorm and flop down on my bed. After a while, I hear the door open and I see Pansy walk in. She raises her eyebrows at me before sitting down on my bed, pulling the curtains around us, and casting a silencing charm. She crosses her arms.
"Now do you wanna tell me what's happened between you and Potter?" She waits for me to talk. I dont. She sighs and shuffles closer, pulling me into a sitting position. I glare at her, but she just snickers.
"I know something happened, so you might as well tell me before I find out. You know I can Draco." She says, still staring at me. I sigh and reluctantly tell her everything. From what Potter said to what followed through after. After I finished explaining, I waited for her to say something. She suddenly burst out laughing. I stared at her in confusion as she wiped tears off her face from laughing too hard. As she managed to return to normal-ish breathing, she looked at me.
"You mean to tell me, you went to visit Potter in the hospital wing, he woke up, you figured things out, he kissed you, you two are now dating, and you just now told me? I can't believe you Draco! I thought you would've been dancing from the rooftops! At least it finally happened and I dont have to stay up till 2 AM listening to your rant about 'perfect Potter'" She snickered as she flopped down on my bed.
I shake my head and chuckle with her, she is right. I would be dancing through the halls, but, for some reason im not. And I dont know why. I turn to face her as she sits up. She chuckles at me before wishing me a goodnight and walking to her room. I lay back down in my bed, just letting my mind spin. What position are me and Potter in now? How do I act around him? I stay like this for a while before trying to get some sleep. I toss and turn but no matter what, I can't sleep. I slowly get up, not to wake my roommates, and I put on a lightweight cloak, before tiptoeing out of bed and into the common room. I silently walk out of the potrait hole before heading up the stairs out of the dungeons. I always take nighttime walks to wind down, they make me peaceful. As I round a corner, I feel a tug on my wrist. I spin around only to see nothing, but I still feel tugging. I look down at my arm to see a hand, wrapped around it. I try to pull away but the hand drags me to an empty classroom. As it lets go of me, I reach for my wand. I point it where I last saw the floating hand.
"Whos there?" I whisper, not wanting to be found by Filch. Suddenly a figure steps out of thin air. Its Potter.
