Love, Such a Silly Game We Play

Days passed since the day we went to Diagon Alley. I avoided Draco as much as I could. I walked down stairs, and saw that he was at the table, like always. He looked up, and I could tell that he was going to try to talk to me, but I took my bagel and started towards my room.

“Adriana, wait we have to talk about this.” He said starting to get up.

“There is nothing to talk about, I am a guess for now, and when we arrive to the Hogwarts express tomorrow we can continue living our lives how we have been living them the past 5 years.” I told him and walked off quickly. When I got to my room I did feel bad but what did he expect. I walked to his room and knocked. He opened the door without bothering to asking who it was.

“Hi Draco, your right after thinking about it, it is time that we talked.” I told him taking a seat on the bed.

“So why have you been avoiding me,” he asked.

“It’s because every time I try to allow myself to let you in, you do something to screw it up so I was sick of that.” I told him.

“What do you mean?” he asked. “You know that day when I was sick? Well I kind of overheard everything you said about me that day. And I actually loved you back.” I told him.
“Loved?” his voice was filled with confusion.

“And then when I started to let you in, you wanted me to leave you alone while we were at Diagon Alley. I was confused and then when I asked you about Greyback you were going to hit me … again. I don’t like Greyback, he’s a werewolf and I know you are old enough to look after yourself, I just really care about you and--” and before I could finish my sentence his lips where crashed against mines, it only lasted for a couple of seconds. I pulled away and looked at him. I took his face in both of my hands and put my lips against his again. He immediately started to kiss me back. It was passionate and his sweet breath made me unable to control myself. I lost myself in the kiss and it took me awhile to remember what I was doing. I pulled away again gasping for air, but kept my face near his.

“I care about you too Adriana,” he told me.

“I know Draco, but I still have a question to ask you.” I told him and released his face. I took a deep breath and started.

“Harry believes you are a Death Eater, I told you couldn’t be you don’t have the dark mark. I didn’t disagree with him when he said it was odd that you were with Greyback. Why were you with Greyback, Draco?” I asked him.

“Adriana, you don’t know how bad I want to tell you this, but I just can’t, I can’t tell you.” He said.

“Do you love me?” I asked.

“Oh, please don’t start with this do you lo--” he started.

“Do you love me?” I repeated.

“Of course I do Adriana.” He sighed. I just nodded and didn’t ask him anymore questions. I began to walk to the door.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

“To my room, I have to get sleep for the King’s Cross station tomorrow.” I told him.

“How about you go, get your sleeping clothes and come back to my room?” he asked hopefully.

“Alright, I’ll be right back,” I told him. I walked into my room and smiled. Even though Draco was being a bit suspicious I was still glad that he was mine. I smiled and walked to his bed. He held his arms open and I quickly went into them. He kissed me on my forehead and turned off the light.

“By the way Draco,” I said.

“Yes?” he asked.

“I love you too” I told him. And his grip around me tightened.
