Note: I did a bit of switching around, instead of the theme Four being first, I decided to make this one first. Theme Four will be where this theme used to be.
Beta: Queen of Jokers
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Rejection:
It was Potions class – Slytherin and Gryffindor together. Professor Snape had explained to them that they were to be making a Veritaserum today. And that they had to choose their own partners. From opposite houses.
The students stayed in their seat. Nobody wanting to make the first move in finding a partner. Draco – impatient with everybody's hesitance – stood and walked to the Gryffindor side of the classroom to stand in front of Potter and his friends.
"Potter, be my partner." Draco demanded, causing the room full of students to gasp.
"No," Potter sneered.
Draco felt like his heart stopped, like he was watching the scene from someone else's view.
Rejection had hurt the first time when they were children. But, this time it felt like someone had stabbed a knife into his heart, it hurt so much more. The pain was worsened by embarrassment. Being rejected in front of so many people.
Draco felt despair as he walked back to his seat, dazed. Why did Potter's rejection hurt so much?
There it is. My nineth post for my themed drabbles. Remember to let me know what you all think, or if you've got any theme suggestions that you'd like to see. ^_^
Also, I'd like to mention that I've started using my LiveJournal account again. The link to it can be found in my profile.
Until next chapter
