Blessed With A Curse

Chapter 22

Every other year I was dreading to have to sit next to Blair in potions but this time I happily took the seat, Snape giving me a confused stare, then the smallest smile, the most he was capable of. Being in such close distance, it was hard to keep my hands off her. All anger from last night had disappeared, she had a way of doing that.
"Draco you're making me flustered." She grabbed my hand ripping it away from her thigh. It was the tights for me. I licked my lips, looking her up and down. The only part about being back here was it was incredibly hard to get my hands on her, with practically the whole summer being hot and messy, this was hard.
"I told Neville this morning." She diverted the conversation. "He was nice but warned me of course. Said he saw it coming though."
"Yeah what about the rest?" I wanted them all to know.
"Look I'm not going to make a public announcement." She argued.
"I wish you would." She was mine and that was that.
"Nobody cares." How she was very wrong about that. They'd all care, the most gorgeous girl was no longer available, taken over by the dark side. I couldn't help but chuckle. "If you don't want me to read your mind, use your words." She ordered.
"Yeah that's coming to a stop, I'm going to speak to Snape." It wasn't a big deal, I knew she wouldn't keep out my head so I'd find other ways. But she looked at me in a proper strop. "Come on don't be like that." I grabbed her chubby cheek trying to get a smile out of her. But instead she just flicked her textbook. "Come on Blair don't be like that." She couldn't always get what she wanted. Her parents might be on their hands and knees but there are somethings that are meant to stay private, my thoughts being one of them.
"Anyone would think you're trying to hide something from me." Ridiculous, she was ridiculous.
"Stop over reacting. It puts me on edge." I admitted.
"Yeah well I said I'd keep out your head."
"But you don't." She tried and I knew she tried her hardest but she couldn't help herself. I'd be doing us both a favour. I kissed her gently on the cheek, it made her blush so I knew I'd won. Un hatching the necklace she always wore, the one with cat, I put my ring on it. A small gesture. Then clasping it back on her neck, she rolled it in her fingers.
"Draco you don't have to give me your ring." My mother gave me that ring, it had been inherited through generations but it looked better on her. Plus how would anyone be able to miss it, no public statement, everyone would know when she wore that.
"I want you to have it." I smiled.

I waited after Snapes class, Blair giving me a deathly look before leaving but I pushed it to the back of my mind.
"What can I help you with Mr Malfoy." He dragged on the words, probably thought I was wasting his time.
"Something I've asked before, but I'm ready for it now." He turned away from me, silence. He knew exactly what I was on about. Declaring before that I was too young to learn such thing.
"You seem sure, it's a cruel process."
"I think I can handle it." I didn't really understand what could be cruel about it.
"Used properly the power of occlumency will help shield you from access and influence. In these lesson I will attempt to penitrate your mind, you will attempt to resist." Right Snape has lost his mind. "Legiliment!"
Unwillingly a flash of memories flipped through like pages in a book. Our summer unwinding, every kiss, every touch, every word shared to Blair now exposed to Snape. I squeezed my eyes shut trying desperately to push those memories back, keep them hidden.
"You have no business seeing that!" I snapped. My cheeks burning red, the sweat dripping from my forehead.
"You came to me Draco, your thoughts are no longer private if you wish for my assistance." I needed his help, but how could I trust Snape? My still position in his chair showed him I was willing to stay. "Discipline your mind, block me out." He did it again, now visions of Blair being broken hit, after Cedric. She wasn't easy to repair. But I pushed him back, forcing my mind to be clear. But it was like he was digging around, clawing at any thought.

That night before meeting Blair, I returned to Snape, it felt like hours. It was torture, I hated him seeing anything. I felt exposed. I had to remind myself that Snape didn't care about the information he was seeing either way, I'm sure he had his own issues to deal with. I'd like to say it got easier, but it didn't it was extremely draining. I was absolutely knackered, my bed calling my name but I knew she'd be waiting at the tower, so I dragged my feet to my destination. Seeing her face made me feel lighter, it had been so long. Exactly four hours, which wasn't that long but after being with her constant it felt like years. The warm embrace of her hug had me melting in her arms.
"You look really tired." She mumbled against my chest. God she didn't know the half of it.
"How was your day?" I asked, pulling away from her hold. Her smile was sweet, genuine happiness lit her eyes.
"It was nice, it good to see everyone you know." She'd still not found her friendship group, she shifted between a few, I never knew why that was. "I want to know how it went with Snape." Maybe my tired eyes weren't enough of an answer.
"I'm not giving up yet."
"I wish you would." Her voice was gentle, sad. She rubbed her thumb over my hand, instantly warming it.
"We're just going to have to learn how to communicate with our mouths." I winked and she smiled once more. "You know I'll tell you anything you want to know." I would, this wasn't about keeping secrets from her. It just wasn't normal, I was probably better not knowing she could do it in the first place, then we'd both win.
"You know," I dragged out my words. "I'm a prefect now, why don't you come back to my room?" The seductive smirk on my lips was evident.
"Does being a prefect let you get a way with everything?" She rolled her eyes but the smile still smothered her face.
"We could test that out." Earning me a push against the chest. Yet again she followed me back to the slytherin common room and straight to my bedroom.

Blaise was a sleep thank god, I hated how we could never be completely alone here. Christmas couldn't come soon enough. I whipped the curtain shut around the bed, pushing her onto the covers. She let out a giggle, instantly covering her mouth.
"If we're going to do this," I covered her neck in kisses, fingers peeling away her shirt. "You're going to have to learn to be quiet." I'd missed this a lot. No matter how tired and drained I felt I was able to make time for this, the best way to end the day.

Our kiss was filled with passion, exploring one another's mouths, my hand glided up her skirt, slowly pulling down her underwear. Lacy? Not the usual school attire but I wouldn't complain. She grabbed a fist full of my hair, pulling me closer if that was even possible.
"The things you do to me." I muttered, being especially careful of Blaise. My hand moved to the most desired area, catching the insides of her thighs on the way which were scattered in goosebumps. A gently rub over her clit, earning a mumbled moan which she tried to hold back. Her whole body was squirming at my touch. Adding a little more pressure, she arched her back in voluntary. I loved this, having control over her like this. Sliding a finger down her slides, I bring it to my lips taking in her taste. Sweet. Her cheeks burned red, I go back to her lost lips, covering them with mine. Returning my finger back to her folds, I lingered towards her entrance.
"Draco," she whispered into my mouth. "Don't tease." Her voice full of annoyance, I couldn't help but chuckle. Slipping in a finger, her mouth formed an o-shape. She was so wet, so tight but still I dared with a second finger. Her breathing started to pick up, with my thumb I rubbed over her clit, sending shivers through her entire body. I hadn't even realised she'd moaned until.
"If you guys are fucking, can you please do it in Blair's room I'm trying to sleep." Blaise snapped. Blair was absolutely mortified, pushing me off her.
"We weren't fucking." I was desperate for her to stay. "Blair look, don't go." She pulled back the curtain, giving Blaise an apologetic smile before rushing for the door.
"Sorry Blaise we really weren't up to anything but you're right I shouldn't be here. I'll see you in the morning Draco." Just like that she was gone. Anger flooded through my veins, as if he'd just fucked that all up. There were no chances of a 'sleepover' now.
"You idiot!" I launched the pillow straight for his head, he only laughed.
"Look if im not getting anything it isn't fair if you are." He smirked.
"Go get Pansy or something then, instead of cock blocking me." But Blaise just laughed in response. I chucked my head back, fed up. But she'd forgotten something. Her panties.
