Chapter 5- "Why Did You Do Such A Thing, You Mediocre Dunces?"
Why is the original scene just so perfect, so..... in character...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dumbledore dragged us back to the school as I frantically tried to adjust my clothes to be somewhat presentable. Draco wouldn't look at me as I tried to catch his eye, and I was starting to get pissed. You don't just fuck a girl then ignore them, even if you get caught.
As we followed through the secret staircase up to Dumbledore's office, he apparently couldn't keep the anger out of his voice. "You ludacris fools" He asserted, "This is more severe than you think."
I could help but to start crying at that, and my tears reflected red in the torchlight. Draco put an arm around my shoulders and gave me a comforting squeeze. As we entered the office, I glanced at Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape. I stopped next to Draco in a corner of the room. Finally, Dumbledore spoke up.
"I caught them out in the forbidden forest..."
Snape raised an eyebrow and glanced at my state of undress. I blushed, and Draco to a step in front of me as I finished lacing up the back of my dress.
"Why would you do something like that, especially in the Forbidden Forest?" inquired McGonagall.
"In fact, how dare you go out past curfew?" smirked Snape, "There must be some kind of punishment."
"Why?" Draco stepped forward, leveling his gaze at the teachers, "Do you want to know why?"
The professors faces were a mix of confusion and questioning.
"Because I love her!" Draco declared.
Snape recoiled, and McGonagall tried to hide her laughter. Dumbledore kept his expression unreadable, a contrast to the fire that had burned in his eyes only a few minutes earlier. Silence settled in the room, only to be broken by the sound of Dumbledore's footsteps
Dumbledore stopped pacing near one of his bookshelves, and addressed Draco and I.
"Fine. You may leave." He calmly said.
I grabbed Draco's arm and dragged him down the stairs and toward the dungeon, weaving through the halls of the castle. We stopped just inside the common room. I looked at my hand on his arm and noticed I was slightly shaking.
"Ebony," Draco murmured, "Are you okay?"
I couldn't look him in the face. Just force out a "yeah" before I retreated to the relative safety of the girls dorm.
I don't know how long I stood staring at my reflection in the mirror, trying to calm myself down. I absently brushed my hair, stuck in the memories of the past few hours, until I heard soft humming from outside. I cracked open the door, and saw Draco turn and look at me. Seeing him soothed my frayed nerves, and I smiled. He moved toward me, gently putting a hand on my waist, before leaning to kiss me. I responded and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips. As quickly as it started, he pulled away. He smiled, then looked down.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, "I didn't want to pressure you... and I especially didn't want it to turn into that shit show."
I sighed and put a hand to his cheek. "It's fine... There's things you just can't plan."
We kissed once more, then he reluctantly snuck back to the boys dorm, while I laid awake in bed, falling deeper in love.
