I was in the
common room that night, doing my homework as usual. When Chris came
out. Chris was very nice to me and he liked me a lot. As a friend. OR
so he said.
"You ok?" He asked with a look of concern on
his face.
I looked up at him. Meaning to have a dirty look. But
somehow I smiled and said,"Yeah. I'm fine."
He took the
quill out of my hand and helped me out of the chair,"You seem
like you need a friend." NOTE: he said FRIEND
"Yeah...I
do."I said scratching my head nervously.
"Let's go for a
walk." He said.
I looked at the clock,"Chris it's seven!
It's too late!" I said looking at him as if he was crazy.
He
looked disappointed and looked at the floor. It grabbed my heart. He
looked so sad. That gorgeous hair in his facee,"Fine...Just...Trying
to help."He mumbled.
He started to leave. But I shook my head
and grabbed his arm, he looked up."Chris...Let's go."
A
smile spread across his handsome face,"Ok."
We made our
way across the grounds."I noticed...Malfoy giving you a hard
time in Defense Against the Dark Arts the other day." He said.
Sounding protective.
I nodded,"Yeah. He won't leave me
alone."
"If he lays a hand on you...I'll have to bust
his ass in!" Chris said.
"I can do it." I said.
He
smiled and put an arm around my waist,"Yeah...I guess you
can."
I liked his arm around me..I just...It felt a little
akward. I thought he had a girlfriend. Maybe not...I didn't know.
He
looked at me and stopped he seemed like he was going to kiss me.
"But that's not the only thing bothering you is it?" He
asked softly.
I shifted uncomfortabley,"Well, that's
not...The only thing."
He seemed to get closer as he and I
spoke...I soon began to grow uncomfortable. Break out of my cacoon,
become a REAL butterfly.
He leaned in closer. Our lips...Were
almost touching....
Chris leaned in
and kissed me. It was a very passionate kiss. I was against the wall.
And I could hear the crickets chirupping in the background. I wrapped
my arms around him tightly. And I felt secure. And then I could've
sworn I heard footsteps. I pulled away.
"What is it?"
Chris asked with searching eyes.
I could've said nothing and went
back to kissing him. But as it was as late as it was. I couldn't risk
it. Snape or Filch could be lurking about.
"Um...I thought I
heard footsteps." I said.
Chris smiled,"I'll go
check."
I smiled. He could be sweet. Chris stood there for a
couple of seconds. I looked around. The light of the torches pierced
the night. And it was like an eerie glow, like that of a firefly. But
it wasn't that much light. Chris turned back around and
smiled,"See...It's nothing."
I felt like a complete
duechbag! But then the footsteps grew louder and faster. My eyes grew
wide with horror when I saw who it was.
"Chris look out!"
I screamed.
Chris turned around quickly. But then he got hit
several times. It was two Slytherins. And a Gryffindor. I didn't know
why Caleb was there. Caleb was another friend of mine. And a friend
of Chris. But he wasn't beating up Chris. Draco and Chester were.
Chester was an ex and he was also a friend of Chris. Draco wasn't
though. And you know who he is of course.
"God dammit!
STOPPIT! STOP! GET OFF OF HIM! STOP! LEAVE HIM ALONE! STOP!" I
screamed. And I managed to get Chester and Draco off of him.
Chris
was a bloody wreck.
