Luscious

Part 23

Fuck

She was an idiot, why did she fall for the intimate act, why did she fall out of track. Last night, she was horribly disoriented. She wanted to hit her head on the wall remembering the words she uttered to Draco before kissing him with passion. "Yours"

Yes, she did tell him that she was his, but only to play games with his mind. To drive him mad, make him regret for messing with her. Plus, it was also fun. But now, she was meddling within her own act. 

"Good morning lovely" Her madden thoughts ceased as she heard Fred's voice. She pivoted as he approached her with a goofy smile.

"Fred" She greeted him with a smirk. "How are you" He asked as they walked down the corridors.  "Good and you?" She inquired. "Very well, I've been meaning to ask, will you be coming to the quidditch game today?"

Well, it was breakfast time and she was heading to the Great Hall whilst contemplating her next scheming actions. Though Fred approaching her may have sparked up some ideas. How could she forget, everyone had been talking about it for weeks, another Slytherin versus Gryffindor match.

 "Of course I am, although I will be borrowing one of your quidditch sweatshirts," Elise said whilst smirking. This seemed to surprise Fred, he raised his eyebrows but grinned, "Say no more"

They neared the Great Hall and interfered with The Golden Trio as well as George. "Elise Avery was it?" Hermione said with a genuine smile. "Yes'' Elise responded as she masked herself with a smile. "Hermione Granger'' Elise gave her hand to shake and then looked at Harry and Ron who stared at her with expectancy. They both finally greeted her and she heard Ron whisper to Harry asking why she was being nice. 

She playfully rolled her eyes and Harry spoke up, "Are you coming to the game today?'' Why was everyone asking her this bloody question? "Yes, actually I'm going to be cheering for the Gryffindor team today" They looked  at her as if she spoke gibberish. "You're going to cheer for our house?" Hermione asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, is that a problem?" Of course it was a problem, but she needed to eat Draco's nerves. "No! Not at all, it's just Slytherins have never cheered for us before" Hermione mumbled with joy. "You can sit with me, I'll be going with Luna," Hermione continued. 

"Wonderful, I will meet you there!" Elise said as she watched Fred and George tippy-toe and argue about who's taller. "Brilliant, I'll see you after the game Avery'' Fred said and gave her a funny wink. George noticed and mimicked him by sending Elise the same funny wink.  She giggled at the Weasley twins goofiness and entered the Great Hall.

She went and sat down at their table, everyone seemed eager about the match, there was perpetual talk about how the Slytherins will crush them.

She sat down next to Pansy, who was across Draco,  "Good morning, E" She said and drank her orange juice. She looked at Draco who was busy in a conversation with Blaise, seemingly planning a tactic for the game. "Avery, you coming today?" She heard Theo ask. Before she could answer, Draco beat her to it, "Yes, she is" He looked at her with dark eyes, daring her to say otherwise.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world" She said and started buttering her crispy toast. Draco hummed in amusement and carried on with his profound conversation.

Classes went by rather slowly, though afternoon classes were canceled for the game. The time read 4 o'clock as Elise started getting ready for the game. She heard a tick on the window that viewed opposite of the lake. There was a grey owl with round eyes carrying a package.

She gave him a couple of treats in return and picked up the brown paper wrapped package. She assumed it was Fred's sweatshirt for the game. And she was right, as she tore up the wrapping, a vivid color of burgundy flashed her eyes. It screamed Gryffindor. On the right corner, it was Fred's initials with a lion, it's paw wrapped around the gold letters.

There was also a letter attached to it, "I'll meet you after the game near the Gryffindor stands" It was signed by Fred.

She put on the sweater and immediately drowned in it, it was huge. However, it looked very appealing on her. She paired it with black jeans and some boots and headed out.

She didn't know whether Pansy and the girls would be attending the game, they mentioned having an ancient runes project and that they would come only if finished early. It didn't matter though, she wasn't going to be sitting with them either way.

She ushered out of the common room and headed towards the field. As she neared the stands, she saw Hermione and Luna waving at Ron. She approached them, with a veritable smile plastered onto her face.

"Hi Elise! Meet Luna. Luna meet Elise" Hermione said as she gestured between the two. "Lovely to meet you" Elise greeted her. "You as well, and wow you are really pretty" Luna said. "Thank you love, you as well" Elise said with kind eyes.

They headed up and sat at the top of the stands. The players streamed to the pitch and formed a triangle. Her eyes immediately caught onto his silver hair, it was too easy to seek him out.

Madam Hooch unlatched the quaffles with the snitch, the snitch swiftly flew up in the air. Draco's eyes following the golden color like a preyer, he tightened his grip on the broom, ready to attack. As the countdown ended, the quaffles whizzed all over the place and the players pursued towards it.

Draco was already surging through the air, searching for the snitch, he was intensive and agile, flying through the players trying to chase the golden ball. "Oh, I think Harry has spotted the snitch," Luna said. She tore his eyes off of Draco and noticed Harry chasing it.

But then a quaffles flew his way, he ducked but not in time so it hit his arm, causing him to falter. Blaise smirked, proud that his aim was adequate.

Dinging noises were echoing throughout the game, indicating that a team had scored a goal. So far, the score was a tie, she hoped the Slytherins would win so there could be another party to attend. Though she didn't show it. She cheered whenever the Gryffindors scored, clapping then smiling at Hermione.

Then suddenly the snitch neared the Gryffindor stand, in front of where Elise was sitting. Draco noticed and swept through the air, rushing towards it. He didn't recognize her at first, expecting her to be at the Slytherin stand cheering for him, but when she smirked and waved at him, his heart twisted into a knot.

They were four feet away from each other, it felt like it was in slow motion, she watched as his face dropped to aggravation. His lips parted and his eyes darted at the red sweatshirt she was wearing, Fred's initials sparkling at him.

Luna broke the intense staring contest between the two, "Why is Draco looking at you as if he wants to kill you?" Elise watched as Draco reluctantly tore his eyes off of her and looked at the snitch that was at stop in midair in front of them. "Because he does," Elise responded to Luna.

When Draco inched closer to the snitch, reaching with his hand, the snitch shifted to the right but Draco was fast enough, he caught it before glaring at her with intensity.

He dove down as the Slytherins cheered and the Gryffindors booed. Gave everyone a dramatic show of twisting in the air and then landing on the floor.

"Slytherin Wins" She heard someone announce as the bells went off.
