The Heir Of Voldemort...and ME!
Draco's P.O.V.
I rolled my eyes and sighed, watching my two dooches of friends pigging out. It was a disgusting sight, I didn't exactly feel hungry myself. Such a shame, putting my hot body into hunger. I looked around the room and saw a girl sitting by herself quietly eating. She tucked some hair behind her ear. 'I need to apologize to her,' I thought. I then remembered what my father told me an hour before leaving for The Hogwart's Express.
"Dad, Candy and I haven't spoke since 1st year." I had finally told him. "What! YOU TOLD ME YOU TWO MADE UP!" I cowered when he yelled. Dad scared me. "I lied.." I whispered. I felt my dad's large hand slap against my face, my perfect face. "TELL ME THE TRUTH BOY!" He shouted. I hesistated, and said, "I told her I didn't want to see her anymore...on the first day." My dad slapped me again. "YOU LYING SACK OF CRAP! YOU TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD YOU SHE COULDN'T BE YOUR FRIEND ANYMORE!" I flinched as my dad raised his hand once more. "Boy,...you have until Christmas Break. CHRISTMAS BREAK to make up. IF I FIND OUT YOU'RE LYING AGAIN!" He warned. I watched him walk away angrily. He was breathing hard.
I snapped out of it when I saw Candace smiling. She was turning her head my way. When she saw me she quickly looked away.
Candace's P.O.V.
As usual I sat at The Slytherin table, eating quietly and alone. I had just finished when I looked over and saw my sister, a 1st year, giggling with some friends. She looked over at me smiling, and turned back to her friend. I smiled back at her admiringly. She was so nice. She had great friends, wasn't really afraid to meet new people, she was pretty, smart, and my sister. I loved her. 'I wish I was that good with people, but ever since Draco I just can't trust anyone to be my friend...' I thought, still smiling. Then I looked over down the table, and realized Draco was staring blankly, looking like he was deep into thought. He looked like he just saw me, and I quickly turned away. I hope he didn't think I was smiling at him!
I stood up, looking at my sister once more, now nodding as one of her friends was whispering in her ear. I walked off, to the common room. As I entered the cozy common room warmed just to the right temperature with a fire lit in the fireplace. There were 3 nice sofas and one reclyner sitting around a coffee table. In one corner was a wizard's chess board. There on one wall was a small cupboard that carried a couple extra blankets and pillows, and on another shelf some cups. I walked passed the common room into a hall. On one side of this hall was a the door to my own personal bedroom. On the other wall was a door to...who else but Draco's personal bedroom. We were both prefects of Slytherin. In my bedroom was a door to another room, a bathroom. Draco had his own personal bathroom as well.
I entered my room and heard a purring me-ow. "Hello Lato," I said, rubbing my cat's head. Lato was a present my parents gave me 2 years ago for becoming the female Slytherin prefect. Lato was her name before I got her, otherwise I would have named her different. I fed her and dressed into a pair of pijama pants and a T-shirt. After a little while I heard a knock at my door. "Candace? It's me!" I heard my sister calling. "Come in!" I replied. She opened the door and closed it behind her as she entered. Looking around she said, "Wow! I can't believe you get your own room!" I smiled. She's been in my room before, and she still became amazed everytime she came in. "Thanks, maybe someday you'll get this room, too." I replied. She walked over to where I was sitting on my bed with Lato cuddled up at my side and began carressing his head.
"How come you looked so sad at dinner just now?" She asked. "Huh? What are you talking about?" I replied. Marsha sighed. "Umm...nevermind," "Okay," I replied. "How do you like Hogwarts so far?" The next thing I knew Marsha had jumped on me, her arms wrapped around me in a tight hug. "I love it! I love it so much!" I patted her back. "That's great! Why don't we write a letter to mom and dad?" I asked. Marsha and I went to my desk and I took a piece of parchment out of a drawer. Marsha sat down in a seat beside me. We both took our time writing our own letters. After we were done I tucked them both into a envelope, scribbled mom's name on it, and got up.
When Marsha and I got back from the owelry she went off to bed. I sat in the common room. I need to think about something that had been on my mind all day. 'I should apologize to him...WHY? HE'S THE ONE WHO BLEW IT OFF WITH YOU! yeah...but it's been long enough...shouldn't I apologize for ignoring him for so long? NO! HE NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE FIRST!...well...maybe if I just look at him, actually even show him that I would aknowledge his existance...maybe he would...' All the sudden I woke up. I yawned and sat up straighter. Who did I see but Draco pacing about the common room, muttering something to himself. I looked at him. He had the same expression on his face that he had earlier. A look of worry and fright was swept across his face. 'Just say Hi casually, no apologizing!' I told myself. "Hi" I muttered. Draco stopped pacing and looked at me. "hi," he replied. He continued pacing again. I stood up. "Goodnight" I muttered, walking to my room.
Draco's P.O.V.
I got to the common room rather late that night. It had to have been 11! When I walked in, to make all my worries worst, there was Candy, fast asleep on one of the couches. 'Here, I could wake her up and... no...she'd get annoyed that I woke her...' I thought to myself, walking down to the prefect hall and turning around and walking back to where the common room entry door was. Pacing, I argued with myself trying to decide what to do. "Hi..." she said, in a tired voice. I stopped pacing, "Hey," I replied, and continued again. Wait! Did she actually talk to me after 6 years? "Goodnight," Candace said as she walked to the prefect hall. 'WAIT! I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING!' my mind shouted. "Candace," I said, surprising myself. She turned around. "Yeah?" I took a deep breath. '1...2...3..' "I'msorry" I said quickly.
Candace walked over to me like she couldn't believe her ears. Live it up, baby! Draco Malfoy never apologizes! "What?" she whispered. 'Aww, come on! Don't make me repeat myself!' "You heard me," Candace gasped. "I-I don't know what to say!" she whispered awkwardly. "Well...well I guess I'm sorry too...for ignoring you for so long..." she whispered. I could just barely hear her voice shake.
Candace's P.O.V.
When Draco apologized it was like, well it was like,...I don't know! I was just so happy that my best friend finally apologized for being a jerk. I mean,...was I a jerk too? Oh, who cares! What should I say to him? "I-I don't know what to say," I whispered. And then I apologized too. Draco looked at me awkwardly and I looked at him. Suddenly my mind started wandering. To the first day of Hogwarts. I felt my eyes water, and I said "Goodnight," again. I quickly ran to my room, closed the door, locked it, and fell onto my bed.
