If Love Is Sweet, What Is This, Draco Malfoy?

When I woke up the next morning, Draco smiled at me.
“Good morning” he said, helping me up. I smiled
“Good morning” I replied, picking up my school clothes that I had already put in his bedroom, before going into the bathroom to get ready. Once I finished my make-up, Draco had finished. I walked over to him, and ruffled his hair to make it look better, and kissed his cheek as he wrapped his arm around my back “Much better” I complimented. He grinned, and hugged me tightly.
“It’s my Quidditch game today. Wish me luck failing” he said, and I cocked my head to the side “The massage” he reminded me.
“Oh… Draco I was joking! Of course I don’t want you to lose!” I told him, and rushed him down to the great hall before sitting him down and ordering him to eat
“Actually I’m not that hungr-”
“Eat” I threatened. He started chewing on a piece of toast instantly “There. We want you nice and strong for your game now don’t we?” I said sweetly as I sat next to him. He polished off four slices of toast and then drunk an energy drink. “Good boy” I teased; and he gave me a look.

“Ok. Well the game starts in half an hour. I should make my way down there” he told me, getting up and pulling me up there “Come on I’ll get you in early. Just pretend we’re together or something” he told me, and I nodded as I walked with him to the entrance.
“Hey Draco” a Slytherin boy said, letting Draco through the gates. As Draco pulled me through, the Slytherin boy stopped me “Sorry miss, we can’t let you through. You’re not an official member of the Slytherin Quidditch team” he told me.
“Oh come on Mike. She’s my girl” Draco said, pulling me close to him by my waist. The Slytherin Boy whistled
“Scored yourself one this time mate. Good on ya” he said, knocking Draco’s fist with his before letting me through as well. We had to go through the back way to get to the stands, so Draco wasn’t too keen seeing as I’d have to walk through a hoard of big built Quidditch players all getting changed in their changing rooms.

I walked through the door with Draco to see a steamy changing room with all the muscle-packed Quidditch jocks walking around and talking to their team mates topless. I have to admit I went quite a bit red seeing multiple versions of Draco’s chest going around belonging to other boys. Theirs wasn’t as sculpted, but I suppose Draco needed more muscles to shoot around like that to get the snitch first.
“Almost there” Draco said as he shoved a few guys out of the way to get to the door. The boys all hooted and wolf whistled as I walked in, more than when the others girls walked in; and a few slapped my ass, most winking or calling me over. Draco glared at them and when one guy tried to pinch my ass, Draco grabbed the guy’s hand and slammed it against the locker before glaring at him “You touch her and I’ll kill you” he spat, as the boy flinched from Draco’s steady glare.
“Draco, come on” I whispered, pulling him away from the guy, and we hurried past the crowd of guys towards the exit door. As soon as I got there, Draco pushed me out quickly and shut the door.
“I’ll see you in a bit” he promised me, and hugged me. He was about to go back into the changing room when I pulled him back towards me and placed my lips lightly on his
“Good luck” I whispered, and he looked dazed.
“Listen Maia… I wanted to give you something” he said, pulling a small gold chain out of his pocket. I waited curiously, and he spun me round, telling me to close my eyes, before placing the cold metal against my chest and clasping the chain firmly around my neck, before spinning me back round to face him. Looking down, I saw an amethyst pendant hanging from my neck. It was the most beautiful rock I’d ever seen. “It’s your birth stone. See? Amethyst is the stone representing the month of your year. And apparently, it’s just a legend, but if someone loves you enough, and you love them back the same, you could use the stone in a special way or something” he told me, and I smiled.
“Thank you” I told him, and pecked his lips lightly again. Draco grinned broadly, before walking back into the dazing rooms in a trance. I made my way towards the stands and sat down, waiting for another fifteen minutes before the people were let in. Everyone was piling in hurriedly, screaming and shouting their own house’s name. I had grabbed the best seat in the box, which was like a V.I.P room that only the girlfriends of the players used. The Slytherin team came out first and we screamed and clapped, all of us standing up. We all sat down and Draco kept his eyes on me as the Gryffindor team came out after them “Booooo!” I screamed, joining into the others, and saw Draco smirk. I was sitting in the front right next to the pitch where they played, which was why the box seat was quite a privileged place to be in. Most people caught team player’s belongings, if ever thrown, from here. Draco flew towards me, and grinned at me, letting him self into the box room. He pulled me close and whispered into my ear
“I might need another one of those good luck charms”. I smiled as I remembered me kissing his lips lightly before wishing him good luck not too long ago
“Really?” I murmured, and he nodded. I leaned closer to him and placed my lips on him, exerting more pressure as Draco’s hands slid to my back. “If you don’t win… you’re going to return those good luck charms in a less than pleasing way” I joked, and he grinned before jumping over the stands and going back to join his team. I sat back down, grinning as I saw him smirk at me quickly before turning back to his team mates. I sat back down, the necklace bumping against my skin.
“Oh wow. You and Draco huh?” a girl sitting next to me. I recognised her as a girl called Ellie, the beater’s girlfriend.
“Oh, no. He’s more of a close friend. But I mean, I’m a girl. He’s a boy. We don’t always act like friends” I told her, and she nodded, understanding her.
“Oh ok. So how come Blaise keeps staring at you?” she asked me, and I turned away from her to follow her gaze, leaving me looking into Blaise’s eyes. Oh crap. How could I forget he was on the Slytherin Quidditch team?
“Uh… he used to like me” I told her. She seemed confused
“It seems to me that he still likes you” she said thoughtfully. I looked back at Blaise who saw me and then looked away quickly, and my heart beat rose. “But it’s probably nothing. I mean you know him better than I do. I’m Ellie Rose. I’m going out with the second beater. It’s nice to meet you” she said sweetly. I looked back at her and smiled
“I’m Maia Mist. Friend of Draco’s” I laughed “And it’s nice to meet you too” I told her. She grinned and we cheered as the game started. Draco and Potter hovered in mid air, looking around and dodging the bludgers. I personally found it pretty funny how a Bludger hit the back of Potter’s head and knocked his glasses off so that he had to dart down to get them. Seeing as he couldn’t see what he was doing, the person in control of all the balls who was in Slytherin; let the snitch out. Draco was still looking around, and Potter spotted the snitch immediately. Some people just need a slap in the face. “DRACO!” I screamed, louder than I had ever done before, trying to be heard in the sea of screaming crowds. Draco immediately heard me and looked at me worriedly. I pointed towards Potter, and Draco looked down to see the snitch darting around. Immediately, he set off after it, and I sat down, sighing in content. A Bludger came towards Draco and he changed course, then realised he was right in the path of one of his team mates. Draco spun upside down, hanging off his broomstick and I gasped, as his teammate whizzed past him. His teammate stopped and looked back at Draco, asking if he was alright as Draco climbed onto his broom again. Draco yelled duck as a Bludger came towards them, and had no choice but to go down to avoid the Bludger, and crashed to the floor, mud covering his uniform. I screamed in horror as I saw him lying crumpled on the floor. Potter whizzed past him and Draco got right back up and onto his broom, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The Slytherin team scored another ten goals, and we all cheered as the Gryffindors sat in their poxy little stands stuffily.

Draco darted around right on Potter’s tail, when a team mate hit the Bludger towards Potter, and it knocked the back of Potter’s broomstick. It spun out of control, and Draco took his chance, reaching out and then grabbed the snitch. I stood on my chair, screaming ecstatically with the crowd of cheering fans. All the girls in the box ran towards the door, and everyone else pushed and shoved their way towards the box to get to the door as well. It was glowing green now, and when the whistle was blown, it changed to a bright red. That meant the door was unlocked, and I was the first screaming girl to go through that door and run onto the pitch, slowly followed by the others. I ran towards Draco and he grinned at me, picking me up and twirling me around as I jumped onto him, hugging me. I slid down and he set me on my feet again, and hugged me excitedly.
“You did it!” I said enthusiastically as I hugged Draco tightly. He grinned and hugged me back, before putting his hand around my waist.
“I need to go get changed. You can go through the changing rooms again, those doors are completely blocked” Draco told me as he nodded towards the exits that were now crowded with people trying to get out. I nodded and followed him towards the changing rooms. It was the same as at the start, but steamier because more guys were having showers now.
“You might want to have a shower” I told him, pulling out a piece of dirt from Draco’s hair. He laughed
“Yeah, just gotta make a well done speech” he told me, and I nodded as he went towards the whiteboard with Quidditch methods on it. “Alright guys. I won’t make it long. We all played well out there, Crabbe, Goyle, Dawson, Mitchell. Especially you Jack, that Bludger was what won us the snitch” Draco said, as people clapped Jack’s shoulder and cheering. “So well done! Quidditch celebration party for all of Slytherin tonight at ten.” Draco announced, and everyone cheered and hooted. I smiled, and he made his way back towards me, and then wrapped his hands around my waist
“You sure know how to please them” I commented, and he smirked
“I know how to please women too” he hinted, and I laughed
“Go and get changed, you dirty little boy” I told Draco, and he laughed at the innuendo before heading towards the showers. The guys all had showers and they came back out and walked back to their lessons slowly. We still had half of second lessons left but the Quidditch players were let off that time, and their girlfriends too because they usually chilled with their girlfriends. I wasn’t Draco’s girlfriend but I chilled with him more than any other person so it counted for me too. Draco came out with a towel wrapped around his waist, and his hair wet, and I felt numb. He looked really good wet with just a towel. Draco smirked
“Are you staring?” he teased, I stuck my tongue out at him.
“Get changed Draco” I said, and pushed him into the changing room, then threw his clothes in to get changed, before sitting on one of the benches as I waited for him to change. “This room absolutely smells. I’ll wait outside Draco” I told him, and he said ok before I walked out of the changing rooms. I shut the door behind me and breathed in fresh air. “Much better” I said to myself.
“What is?” I heard a familiar voice ask. I whirled around to see Blaise waiting outside the changing rooms, and felt shocked, not knowing what to say
“Th- the air” I stuttered. Blaise agreed. “Um… Blaise… there’s no-one else in there except Draco… in case you were waiting for a friend?” I informed him. Blaise nodded, scratching the back of his head
“Yeah… actually I was kind of waiting for you” he mumbled. Now I was even more stunned.
“Oh” I whispered. He sighed and closed the distance between us, placing his hands around my waist. I didn’t feel comfortable with this much contact, but didn’t know what to do except just sit there in silence.
“I just… about what you said… it doesn’t matter… it’s all in the past ok? It’s all behind us. I still love you” he told me, bringing his face closer and closer with each second so that we were almost touching. Before I could say anything, Blaise planted his lips on mine and slid his hands to my back, pressing me against him. I tried to stop him by putting my hands out in front of me but he pressed me against him so my hands were crushed in between us. He kissed me passionately, both of our eyes closed. I was praying for it to end, even though I felt something stirring inside me, I knew it wasn’t right. If anything, I couldn’t do this to Draco.

All of a sudden, Blaise was torn away from me by someone ripping his face away from mine. I gasped, opening my eyes to see a familiar blonde head punching Blaise’s face. I screamed and tried to pull Draco off Blaise, but he just pushed me away and landed a kick on Blaise’s gut, knocking the breath out of Blaise. Draco kept punching him as I tried to tell him to stop, then once every visible part of Blaise was covered in blood, Draco walked off without another word
“Draco!” I screamed, trying to stop him, but he walked away from me. I wanted to go and stop him, and explain, but I knew I had to help Blaise right now. I abandoned the thought of saving Draco’s and my friendship, and then picked up Blaise “Come on” I whispered, hurrying him to the hospital wing.
