Padma was always smarter than her sister. Really she was... But then how did she end in this situation? She looked up at the boy that was hovering over her, smirking slightly. She wanted to run away, but those eyes, so cold, so jaded looking down at her. Really, why was she going to fall for this? She swallow a glop as she looked into those eyes.
"So, have you thought about my offer?" asked Blaise, reaching to touch her cheek. Padma jerk her head away from him, causing him to frown.
"Our... our houses are different." She mumbled, trying not be as shy as she really was.
"Whatever," he said, angrily.
"but..."
"I do not care! I do not care about something so stupid! What I care about is you!" said Blaise. Padma looked into his eyes, still jaded. But something about his face was softer than she thought before.
"I can not give up what I love! I cannot betray my sister! I cannot betray my parents! I can not asked for you to do the same! I cannot asked you to betray everything you wanted! Your family!"
"If... If you asked me, I will! I will give them up! For you, I would kill the Dark Lord! Believe me when I say that, Padma!"
"I can not! Blaise, please... Do not make me choose... do not tempt me!"
Blaise touched her chin and tilted her face up. Padma was shaking slightly.
"Padma, I do truly love you. Please, believe that."
"Blaise... I am sorry. I am so sorry. But I do not love you..." Her voice shook as she lied between her lips. Blaise let out a sigh, then moved away from her.
"Then... then do not blame me... I do truly love you." He started walking away, as she started shaking. As she watch the boy that she loved walk away, knowing that she might never get a chance to speak to him again.
"Blaise... I do love you! It is just... You already have that damn mark! If it was not for that..." He turned to look at her, with a heartbreaking look.
"I... I do not have the dark mark!" he said.
"Not that kind of mark! The mark on your heart. The one that... the one that makes you whisper to my sister in dark corners of the castle."
"... What?"
"You were talking to my sister and there was something about weddings." Padma felt tears in her eyes.
Blaise just walked back to her laughing.
"Padma... Padma... I... I asked your sister if she minded if I married you. Really!"
"What? We… we… what?"
"It will not be for a few years, but I want to be at your side forever! I swear!"
Padma just hugged her boyfriend, and sobbed.
"Only if you promise not to join the dark side."
"I promise."
