In the corridor on the way back from the library.

[draco_darkness]

Draco is walking down the corridor by himself with his head hung low. He just left the library. He tried to study, but all he could think of was Millicent and that mess that Pansy pulled. He sighs at the hopelessness of it all.

He can hear the sound of feet on the floor somewhere nearby, but he doesn't care. He doesn't even bother to look up.

Millicent is walking to the library, hoping to get some revising in. She's been wanting to talk with Draco, to apologize, but part of her worries he just won't understand. She continues on her way when she sees him. Her heart's in her throat.

Should I stop?

"Hello," Millicent greets him softly, her voice shaking with nervousness.

[draco_darkness]

Upon hearing Millicent's words, he stops dead in his tracks. A surge of emotions arise in him and he hesitates to look up. He doesn't want to look at her. He doesn't want her to see what she does to him.

He finally looks up at her without showing and ounce of emotion.
He doesn't say anything. He just looks at her.

I guess I'm in for it again.

[madmillicent]

Millicent looks relieved that he at least stopped, hopefully to listen to her. She notices that he's not speaking to her, which she probably deserves.

"Can I talk to you?" She asks timidly.

[draco_darkness]

Draco stares at her and fights the urge to both hug her and hurt her.
Talk? What could she possibly want to talk about?

After a few minutes of mentally taking her apart he decides to speak.

"Talk to me? Or yell at me?"

Common Room.

[draco_darkness]

Draco is happy when they enter the common room and find it almost empty.
He sits down on the love seat and then gestures for her to sit next to him.
He still can't get a handle on all of this. Hes scared that he's dreaming.
For the past two weeks his slumber has been haunted by her face.

"I'm still scared, Millicent."

Millicent looks at him, his face betraying nothing.

"I know, and I'm sorry. I'll never let someone else bring us apart like that again," she apologizes.

She looks around the room, quite glad that Pansy's not around. The girl may have apologized, but now she has to pay.

Re: Common Room.

[draco_darkness]

He knows that Millicent will never take someone else's word over his again. He knows that she loves him and that she will never doubt him. And he knows that it must have crushed her to be away from him.

"I know, Millicent".

He touches her face. More for making sure that it's real than from affection. Not that he isn't glad that she's there.

Millicent sits next to him, his light touch suddenly making her almost dizzy with relief.

"I've missed you."
