Just Him {Draco Malfoy}

11 - One Day

_____________

— "I HAVE TO  go to the restroom.", Draco muttered and stood up. "Go then.", Meissa smiled at him and twirled her white hair with her index.

Her blue shiny eyes, along with her hair and a few freckles on her cheeks. She truly looked beautiful. It seemed like the good genes were still passed on even to the cousins he had never seen before. Because Meissa and Draco were long distance cousins, of course. Though he wasn't exactly sure from which side of the family she was part of. Something told him she was from his mother's side.

The minutes in the bathroom seemed never ending. Draco regretted associating himself with random people. Roger was supposed to deliver the cursed necklace and Draco was supposed to get the job done within an hour. Seems like no one gets their job done these days  Draco thought to himself. He shook his head as he came to the realization that the man wasn't going to show up. He left the bathroom and without being seen by the blue eyed girl, he exited the pub and hugged his coat tighter to his body. Meissa was a nice girl, but her unnecessary chit chat made his head ache.

The bridge Draco had to walk over, wasn't as full as it was an hour ago. He walked with his hands buried in his pockets, keeping his gaze on the white sheet that was formed during the night. The snowy panorama was quite beautiful, he had to admit. Again, Draco heard the clogs, but this time they were faster and behind the light chaos, muffled screams were heard. "Stop it!", a voice cried.

Draco turned around and was met by a furious unicorn, which reins were held tightly by Ella's hands. Angry tears were running down her face, until they suddenly stopped like the unicorn did in front of Draco.

Quick breaths were taken by Ella at the sudden stunt Sky decided to pull.

"Calm down.", he whispered to the animal while caressing the snout. The animal neighed.
"Ella get off the horse.", he told her, his eyes not leaving the spot he caressed. "She's scared and might do stupid things."

"Unicorn.", she murmured to herself.

"Well?", Draco looked up at her, her rosy cheeks even brighter because of the cold temperature.
"C-Could you h-help me down, please?", Ella asked nervously as her cheeks started heating up. Draco made a small smirk appear on his lips, not visible enough for her to notice.

It was such a funny and awkward moment.

"Well?"

"Of course I can, Princess.", he got closer to her.

"I don't like it when you call me that.", Ella said slowly.

"I hate it too when you call me by my last name.", Draco placed his hands on her waist and lifted her up, to put her down on the snow.

"Thank you.", she smoothed her dress.

"You're welcome.", he muttered.

"Draco-"

"Ella I want to be with you.", the blonde blurted out, making the Princess' eyes widen. "And yes the same talk is coming up, prepare yourself.", she giggled lightly.

"We can't be together right now. Maybe sometime in the future, but right now I'm so full of problems.", his hand found home on her cheek. She smiled at him, almost like she hadn't heard the negative words come out of his mouth.

"But you like me and I like you.", the Princess whispered.

"I really do, baby.", her blush only intensified at his words. His smirk more evident at her natural reaction. His knuckle brushed against her soft skin, clearly enjoying the moment.

"Can you... Kiss me?", she asked shyly. Draco was taken back by such spontaneity. He didn't respond in any way. His racing heart did the job.

"I will, but you understand how delicate my situation is, right Ella?", she nodded and after checking that no one saw them, Draco leaned in. His lips finally touching hers for the first time. He couldn't describe what he felt. She on the other hand, was going to write every little detail down in her diary. A word they shared was indescribable.

They moved against each other, and as Ella's hands were playing with his little hair, Draco's held her tightly by her hips. They looked into each other's eyes once they pulled apart. They couldn't believe the other's beauty. Her eyes held warmth and his held coldness. Though the emotion passing by them was the same. Draco pulled her against his chest, not caring about who might see them.

"Eat and drink. Do what you've always done. Do not starve yourself because of me. It's not good.", Ella nodded against his chest.

"One day...", she mumbled.
"One day.", he sealed his promise by giving one last peck to her addicting lips, Draco's arms were around her and with the last gesture, he walked away, heading back to Hogwarts.

Pansy saw the two. A certain feeling started forming in her heart as she witnessed the little scene in front of her. It wasn't anger, but she recognized it not to be jealousy either. He looked peaceful with her. He looked sort of happy too. Memories of their first hug, first kiss and first fight, started making its way in her brain. She couldn't think of any moment Draco was happy with Pansy. The girl sighed and walked away.

Another hour was spent in the Room Of Requirement for Draco.
That one, he told himself, was one of the last ones, until everything settled down. Afterwards, he could have a normal life again.

Draco would be with Ella, have a real relationship and maybe even let her meet his parents.

That's what everyone let Draco believe, even the Dark Lord himself. But we all know, that all of that were just a bunch of lies.
