Draco Malfoy's Dirty Little Secret

Chapter 17

I opened my eyes to see the faint light of the sun on the horizon. I smiled and shook the beautifully sleeping man on my legs. He sat up and pulled me close. It was freezing out there, but we didn’t want to move. We watched the sun rise in each other’s arms. I felt the warmest that I had ever felt. It was right. Draco and I were right for each other. We were perfect for each other.

“Draco,” I whispered, wanting to tell him what I was feeling, but he shook his head and continued to watch the sunrise.

“Hey,” he finally said something after a little while. “What do you say that we blow off our classes today and have some fun?”

I looked at him in shock. “Draco, are you serious?”

He nodded. “Serious as a heart attack,” he laughed. “We could sneak down to Hogsmeade or whatever. I just want a whole day where I don’t have to worry or go to class or have anything else to do. Courtney,” he looked at me seriously, “I need you to go with me. I can’t have any fun without you. Please?”

I rolled my eyes but with a smile on my face. “I don’t know…”

“Please?” he pouted, pulling the puppy dog eyes, which always got me to do almost whatever her wanted.

I sighed. “I have to change first.”

“You look fine to me,” he shrugged.

“I wore this outfit yesterday and all last night. It’s gross to wear the same outfit for more than one day, you silly boy,” I poked him in the arm before walking out of the astronomy tower and started down the steps, which he chased me down.

He caught me at the end, and I shrieked happily. He placed a finger on my lips and looked around the corner. I smirked under the tip of his finger. His grey eyes then found me before he made a huge show of tip toeing from our hiding spot. I followed him, trying not to giggle. I pressed myself against him when I met him at the end of the hallway. He turned and put his hands on my waist. I looked up in those mesmerizing eyes. He leaned in, and I ducked from his kiss and ran down the vacant hallway. Looking over my shoulder, I couldn’t help but let out a rather loud giggle as I noticed him following me. I continued to run past closed classrooms and down the stairs in the direction of the Gryffindor common room. I gave the fat lady the password and left Draco to wait for me outside without a single word to him. I put on different jeans, a purple sweater, a pink scarf, my snow boots, and my winter jacket. I grabbed a hair tie and ran my fingers through my straight, blonde hair before running back down. I can tell you that that was probably the fastest that I had ever gotten ready in my entire life.

“I thought for sure you had left me to face the day alone,” Draco smirked as I walked over to him.

“Well,” I bit my lip, “what kind of friend would I be if I left poor little you to defend for yourself?”

He pulled me to against him with just one arm and pressed his forehead against mine. “I don’t want to be friends with you, Courtney. Never have, never will.”

I could barely breathe, but I had to concentrate and say something back. “Well, shouldn’t we get going before we get caught?” I suggested and wiggled my way out of his grip and turned my back on him before heading to the stairs. I noticed that he hadn’t been following me, and I looked over my shoulder at him watching me walk away. “Are you coming, slow poke?”

He caught up with me fairly easily, and when he did, he intertwined his fingers in mine with the slightest gesture. I couldn’t help but smile at him when he did so. He wasn’t looking at me but rather where we were going. My heart swelled at the small gesture. I looked around and saw no one. How where we that lucky? I guess it was fate.
