CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT: 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘
▬▬▬❦▬▬▬
I don't know if it's because I'm in the Wizarding World right now, but the time here flies real fast. I couldn't pretty much tell anything important that happened last November because nothing great happened.
We bored the hell out of ourselves which is surprising that we didn't get insane from not going outside. It's like we're vampires, or werewolves.. there's a werewolf with us anyway.
Halloween wasn't that fun, Draco and I decorated Grimmauld Place with scary creatures hanging from the walls. Sirius told us to not bother decorating the place because the place itself looked already haunted.. and because his demon-like deceased mother left a stench of her eerieness in the house.
The first time we were separated, Draco was out of the house, accompanied by Tonks to let him meet his Aunt Andromeda for the first time. Draco came home with a wide smile on his face, boy, he thought his Aunt's not going to acknowledge him, but Andromeda welcomed him with open arms and made him eat the famous pastries Tonks was so proud of.
The twins never paid a visit on Halloween, they were probably too busy or they were just not interested to go. Considering that.. unbearable humiliating situation happened between George and I, we didn't see each other for a while.
It was too awkward.
Scratch that.
Really really awkward.
This feeling was the same one I had back in middle school when my friends would tease me to my crush, and when my crush finds out, they'll start to avoid me. Except I don't have a crush on George.
Maybe it was just pure shame.
Draco made it hard for me, that douche kept on teasing me about George, calling me "Mrs. Weasley", waking me up while he used a spell to turn his hair red (It wasn't a good sight) to make me think that George was the one waking me up.
I think he's been hanging out with the twins too much, he's getting more mischievous day by day.
Tonks and Remus revealed their relationship to us, where Draco is the only one who's surprised. Sirius and I were just chill about it because, duh? I already know things.. but Sirius did warn them about PDA, he said it prior to the reason that he was single and he would not like to be envious.
But, hey! It was fun to be a third-wheel at times, Remus would sometimes bring us food, for Tonks and for us. So.. free food!
Draco was oddly weirded out by their relationship since Tonks is his cousin, while Remus is basically like a father to him, but he congratulated them on their relationship anyway.
Now, since Christmas break is almost here, the Weasleys decided to spend their second Christmas here, suggested by Bill, because "we were lonely" as he said.
He's not wrong though.
Since the Weasleys come in a pack, there have been room assignment changes, starting with Draco rooming with me. At first, I thought it would be nice, but when we did start to sleep on the same room, same bed..
It was chaotic.
"Why are you staring at the ceiling again? You know Jills, that is honestly really weird." Draco spoke, he was laying beside me but he was crossing his arms. "We get it, you're a really magical being.. but seriously, you give me the creeps sometimes."
"I was just thinking, shut up Hobbs." I rolled my eyes as I nudged him.
"Since you have these unique powers.. do you see through the ceiling? Which practically explains why you're always looking at the ceiling before we sleep." Draco made weird waving movements with his hands.
"First of all, that's a horrible impression of my powers.. and second, no, I just have this thoughts every night where I sum up everything that happens." I explained.
"No, you do this exactly hand movement when your powers are activated." Draco did the hand motion thing again.
"You're doing it wrong! It's like feeling your powers flashing out of your hands, basically it's controlling your hands, not the other way around!" I let out a small red wisp as I taught him how to do it.
"Alright, I get it now.. and would you please stop hogging the blanket? It's really bloody cold in here!" Draco pulled the blanket more around his body, making my side of the blanket move away from me.
"You're the one hogging the blanket! And doesn't your mansion have the same temperature as this place?" I pulled the blanket around me.
"Yes, but we have fireplaces. Fireplaces, Jills. Which this room doesn't have!" Draco huffed.
"Well, maybe you should go to a fireplace company and build a fireplace in this room since you're filthy rich!" I kept my grip around the blanket tighten as Draco did the same.
"No, and you have powers! Can't you just charm yourself on not being cold?" Draco complained.
"I'm glad to remind you that both of us are capable of magic, why can't you just use a warming spell?!" I scoffed.
"Didn't you see how many times I've charmed myself? It's still cold!" Draco began pulling the blanket hard.
"Can't you be a gentleman and give me the bigger side of the blanket?" I pulled the blanket even more.
"Where's the equality in that?" Draco was strong enough to have the bigger side, but I'm not gonna back down.
"GIVE ME THE BLANKET!"
"NO!"
"I'M GOING TO DIE OF HYPOTHERMIA, HOBBS!"
"YOU'RE TOO DRAMATIC JILLS, NOW STOP IT!"
"SAYS YOU!"
The door slammed open, hitting the wall as Draco and I stopped arguing.
"DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY! NICOLETTE SERPENAI CULLEN!" Sirius growled as he gave us a death glare.
"Hello, Sirius." I greeted in nervousness.
"Are you two fighting over the damn blanket again? You're both adults now, for Merlin's sake! IT'S THE BLOODY SECOND DAY OF YOU TWO BEING ROOMMATES!"
"Sorry." Draco and I said at the same time, feeling embarassed.
"If you two don't sort this out.. I'll kick you both out!" Sirius turned his back away from us, and before he shut the door, he said, "AND I'LL DO IT!"
The room was covered in silence as Sirius' footsteps went quiet.
"I'm starting to think he's really serious in what he said." Draco gulped.
"You know Sirius, he's really serious all the time." I joked.
"Sirius is serious."
Draco and I turned to each other, before breaking into laughter.
We laughed for approximately two minutes before Draco stopped us both.
"We better keep quiet now, or Sirius will be ser- successfully kick us out." Draco coughed, grinning.
"Yeah, so what about our blanket problem?" I pointed to the blanket around us.
"Hm, how about a cuddle?" Draco raised an eyebrow.
"A cuddle sounds nice." I nodded with a wide smile.
I threw my arms around Draco as I inhaled his fruity smell.
"Hobbs?" I muttered on his chest.
"What?" He asked, I could feel the vibration from his voice.
"Are you eating green apples again?" I grinned.
"I'd never stop eating those, you know that." Draco chuckled.
"Yeah, you're Draco Malfoy, first man in the Wizarding World who's overly obsessed with green apples." I teased.
"Uh huh, now shut up and sleep, Jills. Or I won't hesitate to push you on the floor." Draco's tone became serious.
"Fine, if I wake up with a tickling spell, I'm going to kill you. Goodnight, Hobbs."
"Night, Jills."
