The Break-Up

Part I

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Ever since the incident at the Dusley's happened, Magnolia had been extremely distant and cautious; from both Harry and other males she crosses paths with. She hardly ever spoke to her brother but when she did, her eyes were always cast down and her voice always low; as if she was afraid someone would hear her words.

Harry once stopped her in the corridors to ask if she refused to look at him because he couldn't stop what happened over the summer. In surprise and shock, Magnolia finally looked up at him.

"No. I don't blame you, Harry. Not at all. You did what you could, under the circumstance".

"If you're not mad at me than why wouldn't you look at me?"

"I-I can't tell you Harry. Not yet".

"But, I'm your brother-"

"I know that. I'm just not ready to tell you".

"When will you be ready?"

"I don't know" Maggie shrugged, "When I'm ready".

Of course, that encounter had been weeks ago and Maggie hadn't told Harry what was wrong. She hadn't told anyone what was wrong because she didn't want anyone else to know besides her. When she had first been told the news, Maggie felt numb. And now, she couldn't really wrap her feelings around it. All she knew was that if she told, the news (she knew Harry could keep a secret and take it to his grave but others couldn't if their lives depended on it) would be all over Hogwarts before the end of the day and Rita Skeeter would be on her back for the story. Maggie wouldn't have that, she wanted to handle the situation in private and quiet; which meant, the lesser the people knew, the better.

Maggie loved her brother, there was no question about it and she trusted him with her life but this news could not only destroy the Potter name but also Harry's chance at getting rid of Voldemort for once and for all because it could be used against him. She had to handle this on her own, without involving him as much as she could.

"Hey" a whispered voice from behind her suddenly jolted Maggie from her inner thoughts as thin pale arms wrapped themselves around her slim waist from behind in a gentle greeting.

"Hi" she whispered back even though no one would hear them and she turned around to face the teen who held her. She looked deep into his metallic gray eyes of her secret partner.

His eyes. She would miss looking into them once she told him the news. His eyes that held the emotions that he refused to allow his face to show.

Maggie didn't look into those eyes long since their owner leaned in and pressed his lips against hers in a passionate kiss that they shared only during their private meetings. His lips were warm, soft and loose against hers. With his arms, he pulled her closer to his chest as his tongue licked her lips for permission. Maggie didn't even need to think about granting his wish to allow his tongue to slip and explore the interior of her mouth.

As much as she was enjoying their kiss, she pulled her lips away from his.

"What's wrong?" he asked when she pulled away.

"Come sit" she told him as she sat herself down on the ground and leaned her back against a tree trunk. Draco joined her without a complaint about taking orders from a girl; especially his girlfriend.

"What is it? Is it about your Godfather?"

"No" she responded with a small snap "It has nothing to do with the mutt".

"Than what is it about? Are you hurt?"

"Look, Draco. I-"

Maggie never got to finish telling what was wrong because their private moment was stolen by two angry intruders.
