You and Draco were walking hand in hand down the corridor. It was finally lunch. You were so hungry, and couldn't wait to just stuff your face. Draco glanced down at you, smiling softly. You shook your head but couldn't help the huge grin which spread across your face.

As you turned the corner to the great hall, you heard a group of familiar voices. From next to you, Draco groaned, his hand gripping yours tighter. You gently caressed it with your thumb. "Hey, don't worry."

"I'm seriously not in the mood for Potter and his gang of freaks." Draco spat. Draco, in short, despised Harry and anyone associated with him. You had always gotten along with him and agreed that sometimes Draco was a bit harsh. But the feeling was mutual.

After all, Draco was your boyfriend and you loved him more than anything. Sometimes you had to stand with him, despite your own opinion of a situation. Before you were in eye view, you reached up and pressed a kiss to Draco's cheek. His cold demeanour broke for a second as a smile came onto his lips. With a final squeeze of your hand, you both ventured in the direction of his enemies.

Ron was the first to see you both. A scowl came onto his face as he saw you and Draco holding hands. He turned to Harry and said something, causing Harry to turn around and look as well.

Draco rolled his eyes. A nervous feeling came into your stomach. It was never a good thing when they crossed paths like this. It only took a split second for everything to go wrong.

"We'll just walk through, Draco. Don't say anything." You whispered to him. He looked down at you but didn't say a word.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Malfoy." Harry sniggered. The group around him laughed. "Hey, Y/N." He added, sending you a wink. Draco made a sound like a growl and tried to break from your grip. You squeezed his hand and pulled him back, giving him a warning look.

"Malfoy, what was that thing again? You know, that creature you morphed into the other day? Because I'm struggling to tell the difference between you now and that.... Ferret, right?" Ron said.

"Oh fuck off, Weasley. I'd rather be a ferret than a thing like you!" Draco's free hand balled into a tight fist. You didn't let go of his hand.

"Don't be so smug, Malfoy." Hermione spoke. She was never normally as involved in these little corridor flings. To be honest, you got on quite well with 'Mione.

Draco smirked. "Granger, looking messy as ever, I see."

"Oh, yes, well I was trying to look like you today." I nudged Draco in the side lightly.

"Come on. If you don't mind, we would like to get into the hall now. I'm starving." I said tugging on Draco's arm, trying to lessen the thick tension in the room.

Harry smiled. "I'm shocked really. Y/N Y/L/N, perfect, beautiful, inside and out, fallen for someone like Draco Malfoy. Honestly, he's your way too good for him Y/N. He's just a bully." You gasped. Draco ripped away from your grasp and strode forward.

He grabbed Harry by the collar and bashed him up against the wall, whipping out his wand and pointing it at his chest. "Say one more fucking word and I swear, I'll hex you!" You reacted quickly as Harry held his hands up in defeat.

"Go on! If you have so much to say, Saint Potter, go ahead and say it!" You rushed forward and gently placed a hand on Draco's shoulder.

"Draco, come on. Leave it, it isn't worth it." Draco seemed to soften at your touch but didn't back down from Harry. You tried to ease him off but he needed an extra push. "Please, baby, I love you and I care about you. Just get off of him and we can go and eat and forget all about this stupid thing. Please Draco."

His breathing was heavy and you could tell he wasn't fully with you. "Just breathe." You whispered rubbing gentle circles on his back. "Breathe." Draco stumbled back from Harry, who backed away quickly. You shot him a glare as he and his friends walked away.

Draco ran a hand through his hair, his breaths rapid and uneven. "Baby." You mumbled, stroking his face softly. He looked at the floor so you gently pushed his chin up until he was looking in your eyes. "It's okay. He's a dickhead, you of all people should know that. Just listen okay? I love you so much, yeah? Just try and take deep breaths."

Draco nodded, shutting his eyes. He inhaled deeply, holding his breath a second before releasing it again. You couldn't believe the effect that Harry's comments had on him. He had always stayed calm and witty against them. But now he was having a full-blown panic attack.

It hurt you to see him like this. To see him on the verge of angry tears. A hatred for Harry burned inside of you but it was short lasted. Harry was a friend. But that was out of order.

Quickly, you opened your arms and pulled him into them. Draco was clearly embarrassed about the whole situation and tensed. However, with little whisperings of encouragement, he quickly melted into your embrace.

Draco was vulnerable. Despite his hard cover, and his reputation of bullying, there was a side of him, a side that came out rarely and which only you saw.

Pulling him back a little and looking deep in his eyes, you saw him. You saw the cover melt away like ice. Gently you stroked the side of his face. Draco avoid your gaze again. Rather than saying anything more, you cupped his cheeks and pressed your lips to his.

It was rare that you led the kiss. But this felt so... Relieving. Like all the sorrow melted away. Draco interlocked his fingers with yours and allowed you to control the kiss. Slow and passionate, not rough and desperate like most of the time you two were alone.

It made you feel giddy.

Draco pulled away and pressed his forehead to yours. "Thank you." He muttered. You just smiled. You pulled away and tugged on his hand that was still locked tightly with yours.

"How about we go get some food? Then we can skip last lessons and find an empty spot far away from the school and just.... Talk?" Draco smiled, a genuine smile.

"That sounds perfect." He whispered. You kissed his hand.

"I'll always be here for you, you know, Draco? Whenever Harry or anybody does anything, whenever the world seems too hard to handle, whenever you just need somebody, I'm there. Always."

"I love you more than anything, Y/N." Draco said, squeezing your hand and begining to walk.

"I love you so much more."
