This Life's Mine (Draco Malfoy X OC Love Story)

Chapter 29

Draco and I have been taking turns working on the cabinet for a few weeks now. We haven't really gotten to see each other because of this, which saddens me. Because of this I don't know what we are now but the way he looks at me the few times we do see each other always makes my heart quicken.

I'm currently skipping DADA right now to continue working. I'm standing in front of the cabinet frustrated that we've barely gotten anywhere with it. It seems that no matter how hard we work on it we aren't making any progress whatsoever.

"Hey." Draco's voice scared me.

I turned to see Draco putting his bag down next to mine.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked confused. "You're supposed to be in DADA right now."

"Snape let us leave early." He explained grabbing something out of his bag. "He also told me that he hasn't seen you eat in a few days and is worried so here."

He handed me an apple. I took it but instead of eating it I just set it down on the table next to me.

"Thanks but I'm not hungry." I explained turning back to the cabinet.

"Love, you've got to eat." He grabbed my arm and turned me to face him.

He looked down at me with sadness in his eyes.

"Draco, I'm fine." I said trying to pull away from him but he doesn't let me.

He sighed. "This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you about finding the cabinet. I knew you would over work yourself with it and wouldn't take care of yourself."

"What about you?" I place my hand on his cheek. "I know you've barely eaten and you look like you haven't slept in days."

"Okay, how about this." He placed his hand over mine. "You eat that apple right now and I'll make sure to get some sleep tonight."

"How will I know that you actually do?" I asked skeptically. He chuckled at this.

"I could sleep in your room tonight so you know that I am."

"Deal." I said and he smiled at me before handing me the apple.

I took a bite from it as we went to sit on a couch that is placed near the cabinet.

"So Blaise told me that you've been hanging with him a bit more." He seemed kind of annoyed by it.

"Well I'm not going to be a loner when you're not around and there's no way I'm going to waste my time with bloody Pug-Face Parkinson. I can't stand her." I explained.

"Well what about your brother and his friends?" He asked.

"Well Ron never liked me and for some reason Harry now isn't happy with me either." I started to tell him. "It seems that the only one who still likes me is Hermione and you know she rarely leaves their side."

He nodded his head in understanding.

"I wonder why Potter all of a sudden has a problem with you again?" He was confused.

"I don't know. Knowing him it's probably because he still has a problem with us being friends."

He snickered at that. "Probably."

He then put his arm behind me on the back of the couch.

"So what do you and Blaise do?" He asked.

"Not much. We mainly just talk, just trying to keep each other company and avoid Pansy when we can." I explained. "We talk about you quite a bit actually."
