His Heart {fanfic}

Astra's POV

I lifted Draco's head up to see his tears had dried on his flushed cheeks and his eyes were a little bit less puffy and red. With my thumbs I wiped some fresh small tears away that hadn't dried yet. I lifted us up to a standing position and Draco hugged me again silently. I shifted my head so it was placed into his shoulder and he had his chin on my head. 

"Thank you." He mumbled again into my hair. "Your welcome." I whispered back.

After a while of just standing there in the comfort of each other the bell to end the school day rung. We had missed second lunch and last block. I hugged Draco one last time then we decided to make the tower our go to place together. 

We were walking around just looking for cool things or just some knowledge why there was so much stuff in there and what it was. As we were exploring separately Draco yelled out for me to come over and see something.

I ran over to Draco following his voice and eventually found him. "Yes?" I asked. Draco turned around and met me with his crystal blue eyes. "This is a vanishing cabinet. I saw it when I was at my dad's meeting this morning." He explained. "What does it do?" I questioned him confused, studying the irregular piece of furniture. 

"It transports things from one cabinet to another. The other one must be in Borgin and Burkes and this one here. I wonder how many there are." He explained, he mumbled the last part to himself.  

"ok, ok, what is Borgin and Burkes and why is this so amazing?" I asked very confused. "Borgin and Burkes is furniture shop of some sort for witches and wizards. And I'll show you why it's so amazing I just need something to prove it with." Draco trailed on. "Here." I said as I chucked him my apple. "Perfect." He said. 

Draco opened the cabinet and gently placed the apple right in the centre. He closed the doors and after a few seconds opened then back up.

The apple was not inside but there was a dust mark from where it was. "Wow magical." I said unamused. Draco just rolled his eyes at me and shut the cabinet again. After a longer few seconds he opened it again. 

There was the apple placed in almost the exact spot as before but with a big bite taken out of it. "So you just sent that to another place and the person there took a bite of my apple." I said monotone. Draco, again rolled his eyes at me and I narrowed my eyes at him. 

"Come on can we go now I need to make up for my last class ok?" I said in a hurried tone. "Fine, let's go." Draco whined.

I went to the library to do some studying and catch up on my missed class time while Draco went back to his dorm to I guessed go to bed. 

While I was studying my mind wandered. How did Draco and I even become what we were now, my feelings for him weren't big and I didn't think his were either. We were just two lonely souls looking for comfort. I don't want our relationship to have a foundation like that. I made the decision that I would break up whatever we had going on and see if we grow real feelings for each other. Like best friends before the whole dating thing.

That night I thought it over and made up scenarios about what would happen and what I would say. I didn't get much sleep that night, I was tossing and turning, my mind distracting me. I eventually got to sleep at maybe midnight. I woke up before my alarm which was always annoying. 

I got to first class and I slept through that class, luckily it was, either a nice teacher or the fact that I sat so far at the back he couldn't see me, or maybe he was blind in some way. I don't know. But what I did know is, the desk I was sitting at was a good one to sleep on. 

I woke up to the bell ringing and I started packing stuff to get ready to leave to next block which I believe was theory, potions. With Draco. 

I made it to the class and sat at the back relatively close to Draco. I wrote a note down halfway through class when everyone was getting a bit rowdy. I passed it to a kid next to him and told him to give it to Draco.  

the boy passed it to him and Draco glances my way after effectively reading the note. He nodded at me and I nodded back. 

When lunch time rolled around half an hour later I was one of the first ones out of there. I fast walked my way to the tower and up the stairs only stopping to put my books away. I wanted to get there before Draco so I could give myself a pep talk. 

I made it to the top of the tower but Draco was already there, how? I don't know. I decided to just wing it and I blurted everything out super fast. 

"Ithinkweshouldbreakupwhateverwehavehere." I explained at a inhuman pace. "What?" Draco asked confused. I sighed then repeated myself slower. "I think we should break up what ever we have here." I explained slowly my eyes drifting from his eyes to the floor not wanting to see the hurt on his face, if there was any, I was seriously doubting myself. 

"What..?" He asked, more to himself than me. "Did I do something wrong?" He asked. I suddenly felt even more guilty and I could here the hurt laced in his voice. I squeezed my eyes shut and tilted my head up to look at him straight in the eyes.

"You have done nothing wrong, it's more me than you but I just don't think that having our foundations of our relationship built on two lonely people looking for comfort. When, if, we grow feelings for each other in future I will be happy to give it another try. Until then we should stay as mutual friends." I explained. 

His hurt expression turning into a understanding one. He walked closer to me and gave me a quick soft peck on the cheek, then hugged me. "No problem princess." Draco said. He took a playful bow then pushed past me and out the door and down the stairs. "That was easier than I thought. Maybe he felt the same way?" I mumbled to myself.

Ok so while I was writing this I wrote like his tears were dried on his face and to me it sounded weird so I googled it;

If you're dealing with dryness. Along with puffiness and redness, your eyes may feel dry after crying. Not only that, but your whole face, especially the skin under and around your eyes, may also feel dry. Rehydrating your body and your skin should help bring back moisture.

Still doesn't feel right

This chapter was a bit forced or something I don't know but hope you like it anyways.

:) have a good day
