Silently Screaming For Help

|Chapter 189 : Stylish Returns|

"Take any" Draco told me while nodding to his wardrobe and I wandered over while he got changed behind me and I opened the door and peered at his jumpers before eventually pulling a black one out and tugging it on over my head before pulling my hair out from underneath and sitting it over my skirt as his hands appeared on my stomach as I was pulled back a step with my back to his chest

"Good choice"

"You have good style"

"Well you look better in it than I do, feel free to keep it" he told me quietly before kissing the side of my head gently and stepping back as he nodded over to the door and I followed behind him before stepping out into the stairwell as he closed the door behind us

"Are you ready?"

"Somewhat"

"You'll be fine, come on" he urged quietly his hand on the bottom of my back as we slowly walked up the steps and I stopped a moment later when we got closer to the common room as I turned to him

"Can you go in first?"

"Yeah if you'd like me to" nodding he stepped ahead of me and we continued walking as we got closer and I reached out to grab his hand, squeezing it tightly making him turn his head back around to me slightly before stopping again, a couple of steps from the top

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Is he in there?"

"Do you want me to check?"

"Please" I begged him quietly as he nodded and went up the stairs and I stood with my back to the wall, my fingers growing cold before he came back down a moment later and I glanced at him as he stood in front of me

"You're okay, he's not in there. Blaise and Daphne are, but he's not anywhere nearby" he reassured me before I let out a quiet sigh of relief before glancing to him and giving him a smile

"Are you ready to go?" Giving out a nervous laugh I shrugged, getting an amused look as he stepped back and I looked up to the entrance of the common room and he started to lead the way up as I grabbed for his hand again, my fingers pressing into his skin as we made it into the common room and I looked around, finding Blaise with his back to us with Daphne opposite him in the corner of the common room as Draco pulled my hand gently with a little squeeze as we walked over, a small smile staying on his face while we got closer, unable to help the smile grow on my face. Watching from a few meters away Daphne glanced up, looking at Draco before looking away again, instantly looking back up with a confused look when he just stood there completely still before her eyes flicked to me. Giving her a smile I watched as her jaw dropped slightly and she screamed, leaping out from her seat as she ran over, tackling me hard into a hug as I stumbled back, slipping my hand away from Draco as I hugged her back tightly as she held me as tight as she could with a sigh of relief while I watched Draco sit down next to Blaise, raising his eyebrows amused as he continued to sit there doubled over the coffee table scanning a book avidly

"We never knew you were out!"

"I was let out yesterday-"

"Yesterday?!" She shouted, stepping back to stare at me as I laughed with a nod as she hugged me tightly again and I watched, Blaise turning his head to stare at Daphne with a confused look as he stared at me with his eyes wide

"Oh!" Jumping up he came over, Daphne stepping back just in time as he swept me into a suffocating hug with his hand on my head

"This is why you wanted me to turn around?!" Watching him turn his head he looked at Draco grinning, laughing loudly as Draco nodded and he turned back to me, pressing a kiss to the top of my head as he spun us around on the spot

"Oh my god"

"Blaise she got out yesterday!"

"Yesterday? And you're only seeing us now?" He asked ludicrously as he stared down at me before slowly turning around, looking at Draco with his eyes narrowed while he slowly turned away from Blaise's stare

"Draco Malfoy..."

"Me?"

"Is our Lia the reason you were hiding in your bed all day with your drapes drawn?"

"What if she was?"

"Were you actually?!" He asked loudly, a dumbfounded look on his face before starting to laugh when Draco shrugged, a smug look on his face as I looked at him smiling, feeling the heat slowly run up my cheeks before Blaise started walking over to the couch we were on, dragging me down into the space next to him with his arms still tightly around me in a hug as Daphne sat on the floor next to us and I swung my legs up onto the couch as I rested them on Draco, his eyebrows raising at me as I flashed him a smile and his hand rested just below my knee.
