HAILEY'S POV 
                          
Everything was going fine, until Harry interrupted Draco and I's day together. I couldn't believe he had just completely ignored Draco like that and then had the audacity to basically say I was weak for going back to him. I tried to remind myself he didn't know, but even still, he was my twin. If I was hanging out with Draco again, I expected him to respect my decision, no matter the circumstances. 
                          
"Hey, darling. What'd Potter want?" Draco asked, putting his arm around me as I sat next to him, huffing. He kissed my cheek, seeing I was tense and trying to calm me down a little. It worked a little, it always worked. 
                          
"Sometimes my brother is just so infuriating. He was going on about some 'Don't forget about how badly he hurt you, we talked about what to do if he ever tried to get you back' bullshit. I can make my own decisions... And I cannot believe he ignored you like that, Draco, I'm so sorry." I told my blonde boy. He just waved it off. 
                          
"Hailey, he has no idea what's happened yet. Of course he's gonna hate me for awhile. Cut him some slack for now, we'll clear things up later." He smiled, rubbing his hand up and down my side. I was shocked. His response was so mature. 
                          
"You're right... When did you get so grown up?" I asked, kissing him. He almost looked as though my comment had made him think of a painful memory, but before I could comment on it, he shoved an apple in his mouth. A green one, of course. I rolled my eyes playfully as he noticed me staring, and purposely chomped on it right in front of me. 
                          
"Pansy, has he always been so into green apples? I swear you love them more than you love me." I asked Pansy, then told Draco. She laughed. 
                          
"Actually... Yes. For as long as I can remember anyway- Wait! Did you just say love? Draco!" Pansy squealed suddenly. "Did you finally tell her?" She added on. Draco just blushed, smiling. 
                          
"I did, Pans." He said, looking at me. I was so lost in his bright blue eyes, I almost missed that Pansy had said did he finally tell me, meaning he had been in love with me since before he 'broke up' with me.
                          
"Oh, Hailey! He's been so in love with you since the first time he saw you. Did I ever tell you he used to keep me awake all night, talking about game plans to talk to you the next day?" She told me, making Draco blush. I smiled, grabbing his hand. 
                          
"Nope, no one told me that." I smiled, looking at Draco who just nodded. My heart so warm. He kissed me once, holding me so close to him I was almost sitting on his lap. 
                          
"It's true, darling." He mumbled in my ear, red. I thought it was cute. 
                          
We continued to eat our food until dinner ended. We all walked back to Slytherin tower, Draco lounging on his usual spot on the couch in the common room. He pulled me down next to him, holding me on his lap. I noticed a few girls glaring at me, most likely girls Draco had flirted with. I tried to ignore them. 
                          
As hard as I tried, the more they whispered and pointed, I couldn't help but wonder what he'd said to each of them. Had he promised them things? Had he talked to them the way he talked to me? I had always thought I was the only one he treated this way, was I just being naive? 
                          
"What's wrong?" Draco mumbled in my ear, so quiet and discrete Pansy and Blaise didn't even notice as Blaise rambled on about his day. 
                          
"Nothing." I shook my head, kissing his cheek quickly. I didn't want to ruin our quickly decreasing time left together. He just nodded. I don't think he believed me, but I gave him a bright smile anyways and continued to listen to Blaise, who was now complaining about one of his classes. I laughed at the story, pretending I had been paying attention the entire time, though I took another look at the group of Slytherin girls, who happened to be staring at me too. They immediately turned away, rolling their eyes.
