Hiya people! Sorry about not updating the fics... kind of lost interest for now, so consider me on hiatus for the two fanfics! Instead I'll busy myself on one-shots so you'll know I'm alive.
This is a HP/SM and Usa/Draco fanfic and hope you enjoy! Also thanks for the reviews for the last chapter for Love's Mistake!
Disclaimer: I own them! YAH! ... Stop staring! A girl can dream right?
Usagi happily skipped her way down the hallway. Her golden blonde hair bounced around her, giving her the perfect image of a completely carefree girl. A cheery tune was hummed in content as Usagi made her way into the Great Hall and to her house table.
"Ok, spill girl, what's going on?" Another beautiful blonde girl asked. Her azure blue eyes shined with pure curiosity. A side from the hairstyle and the shade of eyes, they could be announced as twins and no one would suspect a thing.
Usagi grinned slowly, almost teasingly she asked, "Why would you ask?" Her deep sapphire betrayed her face however, happiness shone like the summer sun.
Minako, the 'twin' of Usagi, pursed her lips in deep concentration. Usagi wasn't going to crack easily, she knew...if there was just a way... Her thought trailed off, and was soon followed by an imaginary light bulb popping up on top of her head with a small 'Ding!'
With out any mercy shone, Minako began attacking Usagi in a series of tickling. All the other Gryffindors turned their head to the chaotic pair. Usagi struggled to break free without any success, and a maniacal laugh escaped Minako, causing Usagi to laugh even harder.
"Sorry girls but I wouldn't think a normal boyfriend would want his girlfriend to be bullied like that." A heart warming voice called out playfully from behind them. Or at least Usagi think so.
As the sentence began to register in Minako's mind, Usagi's face flushed beet red in embarrassment, and she planned to keep it a secret! Minako's tickling ceased immediately when the realization hit her with full force. Her jaw dropped in shock as she stared at the two.
"YOU'RE HER BOYFRIEND!"
Usagi bowed her head in embarrassment and shock as she stared out her window. Who knew Minako could yell so loud? That was probably the most embarrassing thing that had ever happened to her. She could just feel the way her face flushed as the whole school stared at them. And out of pure instinct she ran out the Great Hall and locked herself in the room.
As Usagi thought about it, why did Minako scream like that? As if she wouldn't had guessed in a million years... Didn't Usagi tell her the big crush she had? Was she that ugly it was so hard to believe Mamo-chan would ever like her?
At this thought her hand subconsciously touched her face and she raced to the mirror, her heart heavy with doubt.
Knocks came uninvitingly at the door, causing Usagi to pause in her actions. Was it Minako again to actually tell her how unworthy she was? No, she would not let that happen, it had hurt enough with out proof and then if she ever heard it coming out of Minako's mouth, her heart will be crushed into a million pieces.
Instead, Usagi kept as quiet as possible, which was extremely hard considering the desire to break down and cry. At the silence her face immediately flooded with tears.
Minako sighed. It was no use, as dense as Usagi was, if she ever sets her mind on something, she'll complete it no matter what.
Footsteps crept up loudly from behind. Until a large shadow, no doubt a man, covered her own. "Is she ok?" A voice whispered out.
Minako abruptly turned around, her face flushed in rage as she saw who it was. "Why would you care!" She yelled in a whisper, as hard as it was, Usagi should and will not hear this.
Mamoru paused, and led Minako down into the Gryffindor common room where they both seated them selves on the sofas. "So you know." It was stated as simply as that, his face was covered with guilt.
"You think!" Her voice shook with fury. "You asked my best friend Rei out and then I find you being the boyfriend of my other best friend. What's wrong with you!"
If looks could kill, Mamoru would be up in heaven right now. "R...Rei doesn't mind, and she knows the truth." He stuttered as he tried to defend himself.
"It doesn't matter if she cares or not, but the fact that you're playing with Usagi's heart!" Minako sighed. Her fury and anger suddenly drained out of her as fast as it came.
"I'll tell Usagi soon. After the dare is over." Mamoru tried to convince Minako, he had never seen her like this, and he hoped he won't ever again.
Minako stood hastily, her eyes filled with tears of regret and sympathy for Usagi. "Tell her and tell her now, if you know what's good for both of you. Before the damage is unfixable." Minako whispered as she walked out the Common Room door.
Mamoru slouched on the sofa, his head dropped down in his hands. How would he get out of this one? How did Minako ever found out he was dating Rei? Questions like that loaded into his mind, but as much as he hated to admit it, she had talked some sense into him.
Tell her and tell her now. Her voiced raced around his mind, over and over again until Mamoru couldn't take it anymore. He raced out the room as fast as lightning.
Usagi stood at the base of the stairs. Her feet rooted to the floor in shock. Her eyes wide and collecting tears, along with a few that managed to escape and retraced the old route for her last batch of tears.
Why would he do this to her? She loved him. Her legs gave up below and she collapsed onto the stairs. And soon enough her silence became sniffling and her sniffling became heart-wrenching cries.
Usagi rocked her body back and forth, hoping to get some comfort. Her world had collapsed right infront of her eyes, how ironic, and she thought they would live happily ever after. He never liked her, it was all a dare!
Soon her tears dried. Along with her hope and love. Slowly she climbed her way back into her room, toppled on her bed and prepared for another day. Until she found she couldn't sleep at all. So through out the night she was occupied with her soft sobbing and staring at the ceiling.
The next morning arrived too quickly for her taste. Considering the fact she didn't get any sleep at all.
Only the alarm clock and her marks convinced her to go to her classes. Groggily, Usagi put her hair into a messy bun, away from her usual style, got dressed and ran to the common room.
"Usagi!" She heard Minako's voice called out in surprise. "What happened to you?"
"Nothing, everything's fine." With the best of her abilities Usagi mustered a smile to her friend.
Minako opened her mouth to say something, but quickly dismissed the thought and followed Usagi to the Great Hall. Only to be stopped right out the door.
"Why did you stop?" Minako's voice lingered with concern and worry.
Usagi didn't answer, instead her dull sapphire rested on two particular people. Minako's eyes traveled with Usagi's gaze, and her own eyes came to a halt on Rei and Mamoru. The thought of Usagi knowing the terrible truth caused her to gasp loudly, attracting unwanted attention.
The gasp brought Usagi out of her reverie. Her eyes remained on the two people before stating in a queer voice, "I'm not hungry anymore. I'll see you in class."
Minako watched helplessly as Usagi walked away, something in Usagi's voice stopped her from going after her. And so she did the only thing she could. She prayed to God for a better person for Usagi.
Usagi sighed in dismay as she plopped herself down under a cherry blossom tree. And sat staring into the Quidditch Field, two teams were practicing for the Quidditch Tournament for next week. It's a wonder how they can get up so early, Usagi mused.
Her feet shuffled soundlessly through the fallen leaves. The smoothing autumn wind caressed her face and hairs, making her mood lift slightly. I'm only sixteen years old, Usagi reminded herself. Maybe Mamoru wasn't meant for her after all, I mean, how would a mere sixteen year old girl know what love is?
Without noticing, Usagi reached the outskirt of the Quidditch Field. As she glanced more closely, she noticed the ones practicing were the Slytherins and the Gryffindors. She sat on the platforms, watching with mild interest at the sport. Flying in a boom wasn't Usagi's favorite hobby, since she was very afraid of heights.
Before she knew it, the practice ended. The trudging of feet caught her attention until a pair of shoes stopped be fore her. Her eyes skimmed up from shoes, Slytherin robes, broad shoulders, handsome face, blonde hair, until her eyes locked with a pair of stunning silver blue eyes.
Draco Malfoy.
Not that they were enemies, oh no. They're considered friends even, from an unsuspected turn of event they had been paired for a project. Friendship formed, I mean who can resist the great Usagi? Or at least that's what she thought.
"Hi," Her voice wavered from the attempt to sound carefree. Usagi's eyes drooped to the ground as she suddenly found it more interesting than anything.
But of course, he was more observant than she had given him credit for. "You ok?" A surprising concern latched onto the edge of his voice.
As much as he hated to admit it, he had more than the feelings of friends for her.
Something in his voice made all her resistance crash. Her tears poured down her face, like many times before. But this time, she had someone to share her pain with.
If you thought the Draco Malfoy would know everything, you're dead wrong. Being born into a pure-blood family like his prohibits him from crying too much. So dealing with a crying person was something he would rather not go through. So uncomfortably, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and gave her a loose hug.
After Usagi's crying ceased into soft uneven breathing, she began telling him about the dare. "So it was all a dare!" By now, her voice rose into a fierce tone.
"And you screamed your head off when you found out right?" Unable to help himself, the sarcastic comment slipped.
Usagi's head shot up immediately, "What's that suppose to mean? Of course I didn't!" Her head held up in indignity. Her sniffling occasionally interrupted her talking.
He smiled inwardly at this reaction, "Why am I having such a hard time believing that?"
"Because you need to believe in people more!"
"So you say you can be quiet when you want to?" Came his fake horrified voice.
"Yes." Usagi frowned, of course she can!
"Prove it."
Usagi blinked, a challenging scowl raised to her lips. "Fine, agreed."
Draco laughed that rich laughed that always made her spine tingle. "Christmas Break's almost here. Come over to my house for a sleep over; let's see if you really can be quiet."
Usagi frowned as he walked away, that was so rude! She'll show him. Being the naïve girl she was, she never questioned or was bothered too much about the fact of going to his house for a sleep over.
By the end of breakfast, Usagi managed to convince herself Mamoru might not be the one. With the statement continuously flowing through her mind, Usagi walked back to the school in content for her morning classes. Oblivious to the pair of cold silver blue eyes watching her every move with want.
"Just you wait Usagi... Just you wait, you're mine whether you like it or not." The eyes blinked a few times and walked out of the shadow. Draco Malfoy grinned to himself in satisfaction, he always gets what he wanted and this was not going to be any different.
Well...too lazy to finish the whole thing... so this is going to be a 2-shot instead...hehe... R&R! Review and I'll get the next one out faster!
Stay tuned and luv ya ppl,
Lucilia-chan
