Anna's POV

It had been a couple of days since Hermione found out and told Harry and Ron about Draco and me. Since then they have come around to the idea of me being with Draco, but I can tell they aren't too happy about it still. Ginny on the other hand wanted to know everything so far. Hermione was dealing with it her own way. She may not have liked the idea of Draco and me together but I think each day she was getting used to it, same with the boys. After her apology, I felt a little better but I still didn't feel comfortable with them knowing.

I was sitting in the courtyard, on one of the little ledges enjoying some free time I happened to have. Classes got done early for the day because of the quidditch matches this afternoon. I was reading one of the books I had gotten for Christmas as students passed by, carrying on with their conversations about upcoming texts and classes. I felt my skin become warm as the sun started to peek around the clouds, melting the snow around me. But with the heat from the sun also came the cold winter winds that passed through. I curled my legs to my chest as I flipped the pages, continuing to read as I felt a pair of cold hands cover my eyes.

"Guess who?" Dracos' voice whispered in my ear as it sent shivers down my spine.

"Blaise?" I teased.

"Try again."

"Professor Snape," I giggled as I placed my hands on his to remove them from my eyes.

"Seriously," Draco chuckled as his hands slipped off my eyes. He walked out from behind me as he took a seat next to me, still managing to tower over me.

"I knew it was you," I smiled at him as I closed my book and set it down next to me. I turned my head to look back at him as he was smiling at me, which made me smile at him.

"Hi."

"Hi," I giggled as I crossed my legs over each other.

"What are your plans for this afternoon?" He asked, grabbing my hand and pulling them into his grasp. He placed the back of my hand in his palm and with his fingers, he began to trace the wand movements on the palm of my hand. I tried so hard to press my smile into a thin line as he did so. But his cold fingers were sending a wave of shock throughout my entire body making me wish we were alone.

"Probably just some studying and preparing for the O.W.Ls. Why?" I finally spoke as I was enchanted by his tender touch.

"I just wanted to see if you were going to the match this afternoon," He said as his fingers slowly started to make their way up the inside of my forearms

"Gryffindor isn't playing this after......" I trailed off as I looked up from my arm where his hand had disappeared and met his eyes.

"I'm talking about me," He said as he glided his fingers back down in my wrist.

"You want me to come to watch you play?" I swallowed as he brought his body closer to mine.

"Yeah, I mean since you are my girlfriend," He whispered in my ear as I felt my heart stop beating for a mere moment, "I figured you wanted to come to cheer me on."

"What did you just call me?" I giggled as a smile grew on my face.

"You heard me, Green."

"Say it again."

"Girlfriend," He whispered gently into my ear, sending millions of little shivers down my spine.

His lips touched my cheek and I felt butterflies fill my stomach for a brief moment before I noticed Hermione, Harry, and Ron walking through the yard looking at me. Guilt filled my core as they all continued to look at Draco and me. I pulled my head away from Draco as I sat back. His eyes filled with concern as he looked over to where I was once looking. As soon as Draco looked their way the three of them turned their heads in disgust. I know that they are having a tough time knowing that Draco and I are together. I just wish they could all be like Ginny.
