“You look pretty today, Olive,” she says, sweetly. I love the way she smiles. She is absoloutely cute. Probably the only thing a Slytherin could smile at this way.

“And you look gorgeous today, as always,” I say, ruffling her hair. She innocently flattens it back out. She's wearing a yellow dress. She looks adorable.

“Nope, I'm taking you to bed.” he says, getting up soberly, then helping me when I struggle.

“Ooh, Albus, I didn't know we were that close.” I say, noticing that I seem unable to wink.

Merlin, how long has he had such sexy abs?

I'm almost drooling.

Metaphorically.

I'm not actually anywhere near to drooling as my face is stony.

“Don't be a coward, Malfoy.” I snarl, the sound of his last name piercing me like it obviously pierces him. He freezes in the doorway and turns slowly. His face stone, the box in his hands shaking with anger that fiercely flows through him.

“What did you just call me?”

“I called you a coward.” I hiss, stepping forward and feeling secure at the half-inch of height distance between us.

I'm only human, I've made my fair share of mistakes, but it's the people who get affected by my actions. I'm not a good person. I've cheated, I've lied, I've ripped apart relationships without meaning any harm. Everywhere I go I leave a trail of destruction. Every heart I touch is burnt because I never look at the consequences before I do something.
