By Friday and Saturday, you were a Professor to many teaching them subjects taught in a muggle school. By Monday to Thursday, you were a regular witch who is in her 7th year making sure to study hard for N.E.W.T.S and just to make her Muggle Adoptive Father proud. Right now, you were being a student. It was the same, you would disappear in free periods. No one knew where you went. It was like when you walked out the classroom, you just disappeared into thin air, like dust. Your friends were all worried for you.
Along with your disappearance, 3 other students would also disappear; One Lion, One Badger and One Eagle. It was a mystery were the four of you went.
Draco was probably the most worried one but he hid that from Astoria, of course. She didnt need to know that he was loving you from afar even it hurts him. He would watch you bite your lips as you concentrated in class, watch you place with your quill, watch you practice spells and watch you talk to your new friends with a smile on your face. Never did Draco see you take a glance his way and he wished everyday, prayed to the Muggle god and Merlin. To give you a glance at least once. He wanted you to see the love in his eyes.
He loved how you would tie your hair in a messy bun or a messy high pony tail. He loved seeing how you wore it, the necklace but it was hidden under your shirt but he knew you wore it because he sees the silver dangling your neck. Maybe there was hope— Maybe you still love him
Unknown to Draco, you never did stop loving him. Draco might think you didnt know how he watch you from afar but you did. You knew but you never glance to him. It was hard not to. All you wanted was to look to his way and search his eyes for love that lingered in them. Something that you can hold onto for hope that there still can be an you and him.
But the problem was winning. Great guess, the problem is Astoria. She would always bug Draco but the other could careless of his future wife. Knowing that he is only doing this for the sake of his family's name.
It hurt you how Astoria would get his last name. It hurt you knowing that she will be the one to grow old with him. It hurt you a lot but who were you to get jealous when he isnt yours anymore. Strangers, Schoolmates, Acquaintances that is what the two of you were
Right now, you were in your room. In your own dorm room which you share with Cindy, Tom and Davina. So the four of you were close because the four of you were always busy with work in the muggle world. Always disappearing to do work. The four of you managed and it was a good how free periods were long to finish work so at the end of the day, what the all of you would do is study and do homework.
You were caressing your stomach. There still wasnt a visible bump but you knew that the little one is growing in you as it has been 11 weeks since you have been pregnant. 2 months were passing by and it was Halloween. How fast time flies when your busy.
"Hi, little one. You dont know how excited I am to see you, to meet you and hold you in my arms. I wish your Daddy knew about you. I know I could tell him but I guess I have a good heart not to make him choose between me and your grandparents. I'm sorry that Mommy cant give you a big happy family...." You talked to the non-existing bump.
"Even if your Dad didnt know about you. I know that he loves you so much. Like how I love you, little one. Mommy will be strong for you. I love you" You smiled down to your tummy. You heard a knock looking up to see Tom.
"Come on. You have a whole school and ministry to teach" Tom said smiling to you.
"I'll be right there. I just need to make a call" You nodded to Tom.
"Dont be late!" Cindy yelled as Davina came smiling to you
"See you class, Teach" Davina teased as she dragged Tom away from you. Standing up, you grabbed your phone as you dialed a familiar number that you have memories since you were 4.
"Hey, Kid! What's up?" Your Dad said from the other line making you smile hearing his voice
"I just wanted to call to see how you were doing? We havent been talking for 2 months. How can you be so busy when you are dead to the world?" You asked grabbing a couple of folders as you started to make your way out of the dorm room and out the portrait hole. Pressed on your the arc reactor on your chest, a blue suit engulfs you along with your phone as you flew off to the great hall. Walking would just take time
"Sorry, sweetheart. You know how I am adjusting to living the Wizarding World to be with you" Tony said making you roll your eyes
"How are you and my grandbaby?" Dad asked
"We are doing good. She is healthy from what Doctor Garcia said from the last check-up which was on Sunday" You said
"That is good to hear. Any news about Draco?"
"Dad, he is getting married"
"Not yet though. From what Arthur told me. The daily prophet pictures move!" You heard your Dad say in shock. You didnt realize you had flied in the great hall already.
"Your reactions are priceless—"
"Miss Stark, we have arrive" You landed down as the suit went back to your chest and a phone in your hand.
"Have to go. Bye!!" You whispered yelled
"Bye! Have fun teaching! Oh, this is amazing..." You ended the call as you turned to look at everyone. Tossing your phone to Tom who caught it.
"One day! You are going to break your phone" Tom said looking at you with a disapproving look.
"You catch it every time" You shrugged
"Alright! What subject is it today?" You asked
"Science"
"Science!? Wonderful! Lets talk about quantum psychics and how amazing a time turner is" You said happily like a geek. Draco smiled remembering the end of 3rd year.
"Time travel! Oh, I never thought it was possible but there were many possibilities!" You said as you were writing on the black board
"Speed is my main possibility. Like I said to you have to reach Mach 2 to be able to time jump. Create a time hole maybe even a black hole to travel between worlds. I mean its possible since we know aliens exist because of Thanos— or the time turner, imagine what you could do with this!" You should your time turner
"Imagine going back in time and being able to slap that stupid Beauxbaton Aisha or meeting hot young Sirius Black, oh god— or Young Remus lupin or! Or James Potter— Wait, he is my Dad or young Peter Pettigrew. I dont know how that rat became an ugly one though" You said
"Anyhow, My desires are another thing. Quantum Physics is the greatest way to time travel. Imagine doing everything in a single minute. For example, I disappear then to where I travelled back in time which I spend 10 years in. When I come back, It is like I never left because I have only been gone for a minute. Now, Scott Lang...Antman introduce this theory to be possible. The avengers time travelling to get the stones to snap everyone back in reality—" You stopped rambling like a mad scientist realizing how crazy and geniusy you sound.
"I dont think thats english anymore" Ron said like he will have a nose bleed.
"Too much?" You asked
"Miss Stark, they arent at that stage yet" Friday said which made you blush. Draco chuckled at this finding you ridiculously adorable. He loved how you would fall into geek mode.
"Cute..." He whispered under his breath.
"Hot, huh?" Sirius smirked.
"Oh god..." You pinched the bridge of your nose.
"That was the coffee talking"
"You arent allowed to drink coffee anymore, Y/n" Davina warned
"Anyway, Science...Lets start with Newtons Laws of Motion" You said wiping the black board.
To Draco, you were just so amazing. Too amazing. He loves you so much. You make him so happy with the way you act and move.
You are to amazing to be true.
Draco knew he will never love this way again because its only you. Even if everything is falling apart, he still holds on before the good is gone.
*¡'¤~°•○●□•°~¤'¡*
"You are doing great, Professors" You smiled seeing that they were doing well on the experiment you made them do. To understand the lesson more and for them to answer the book.
Walking around to check if anyone needed help but mostly no one did. Seems like they understand the lesson for Science today.
"Professor Stark" Daphne called for you. You saw there group and walked uo to them, hands clasped behind you.
"Where is Miss Greengrass? The other one?" You asked referring to Daphne
"Skipped class. She is still bitter with you and her father had Dumbledore remove her from this class" Mattheo explained as the only sane one and the one who still stood by your side knowing something was wrong because he knows how much you love Draco.
"Oh, thank god" You said in relief.
"Oops, sorry. I forgot your her fiance" You said to Draco but you didnt look at him
"Professor!" A Gryffindor shrieked as you immediately rushed to them. Draco watched you leave. The others did as well before they look back to what they were doing. Draco just continued to stare at you, hoping you would glance back.
And it was like the heavens have now answered his prayers as you were turning around to help another group but your eyes met his and it just locked. No one notice the staring contest, you and Draco were having. After a long time, both of your eyes finally met. You search his eyes and you couldnt help but notice the emotions in his eyes. The same way he looks at you everyday. The look of love. It gave you hope, so much hope that it made you smile.
Draco searched your eyes looking for anything that proves to him that you still love him and he saw it deep in your eyes. He saw the love that you were trying to hide but failed miserably after meeting his eyes. He also sent you a smile.
Draco keeps falling in love with you. You smiled because you knew.
You keep falling in love with Draco. He smiled because he knew.
Loving each other from afar is something that the heavens, the universe and fate were allowing right now. And thats the only thing they could offer right now. Because love can be patient. Love is patient.
"Dad" Andrew called making Draco break the eye contact
"Huh?"
"What were you looking at—" Andrew cuts himself off as he looked to where you once stood but you werent there anymore. Andrew looked until his eyes landed on your figure that was smiling softly while helping the 1st years.
"Oh" This made Andrew smile
"Dont tell anyone" Draco whispered to his son. Andrew chuckled
"I thought I had to do something" Andrew said rolling his eyes making Draco chuckle
"What is it?" Draco asked in a soft voice
"I lost my quill" Andrew smiled sheepishly. Draco handed the young boy his own quill. Andrew smiled and runned off to his own group.
"You seem happy all of a sudden?" Blaise said in question looking at his bestfriend. Draco remembered the moment you both had from afar which made him smile to himself as he looked down to his own part on the experiment. The others looked at Draco in confusion.
Why would I be? She still loves me and I know
He thought
Draco chuckled
"Your scaring me, dude" Theodore said giving Draco a nudge.
"Stop smiling like a bloody idiot will you?" Pansy said creeped out.
How can I not smile when she makes me the happiest person alive?
He thought
"I'm going to the restroom" Draco grumbling as the others raised a brow
"Is he okay?" Mattheo asked as they watch Draco walked but accidentally bumped into you. By instinct, Draco held your waist as you grabbed his shoulders. Looking into his silver blue eyes in shock.
The two of you stayed in that position in silence and shock. The other of course, couldnt see from the angle they were at. Draco smiled at you and it made you smile back.
"Excuse me.." You whispered, standing up straight and about to walk away when Draco grabbed your forearm making you stop.
"When can I see you...When can I talk to you....When can I hold you this close again?" He asked you in a whisper.
"Time will tell" You whispered to him before walking away completely from Draco.
Time...please be good to me
You and Draco thought at the same time.
