Never Leave Me

She waits for him to love her

But he never quite understands

She prays to God that one day he'll notice her

But his eyes never linger

She wishes that he could realize

But his heart is distracted

She waits for him to love her

But he never does

Chapter 2: Obsession

Potions had gone well. She had met a couple of other people including Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan and Lavender Brown. They had all been so welcoming and kind, but Halo still felt like she did not belong. She didn't know why she felt like this, the feeling of loneliness was always in her mind even though she was pretty sure that everyone at Hogwarts was lovely but it just was not right. By the end of their fourth lesson which was transfigurations Halo's head was spinning.

"Are you okay?" Luna's soft voice shook Halo out of her reverie "Divinations is next, it is my favorite subject." Halo groaned, she was terrible at divinations.

"I really don't fell well; I think I'm going to go to the nurse." Halo clutched her stomach for dramatic effect.

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, it's fine. You go to divinations. I'm pretty sure I know where the hospital wing is." Halo did not waste any time before smiling at her friend and darted off down the spiral staircases and down to the ground floor. She was basically running now as she passed several pupils who looked like lost first years. She ran out of the main doors and did not stop until she reached the edge of the forest. She held her hand to her fore head and rubbed small circles around the area of pain that had started about half an hour prior. She was walking absentmindedly into the dark forest, she was not concentrating as she put one foot in front of the other. After about ten minutes of solid walking, Halo sank to the floor and leant against a tree whilst pulling her knees to her chest. The cold violent wind howled around her as she hugged her knees even tighter. She did not know how long she stayed there, it felt like seconds to her but before she knew it, the sky was almost pitch black and the world around her stood still.

"They're all looking for you back at the castle you know." Halo's petite body twitched at the sound of the smooth and sleek voice that came from behind her. She did not even bother to turn around when she answered the boy.

"I was not aware how late it was," she heard footsteps behind her as the boy approached her from behind cautiously.

"I saw you run in here before divinations. You really shouldn't be out here at any time of the day never mind at night. It's not safe. Why are you out here alone anyway?" Halo turned to her left to face him. His pearly grey eyes were transfixed on her as she answered half heartedly.

"I needed space, some time alone to think. It seemed like this would be the last place that anyone would look for me." His platinum blonde hair shone vibrantly in the night's air.

"Where's your robe? You must be freezing!" It was only then that she noticed she was only wearing her fitted shirt, she then remembered leaving her robe and jumper in History of Magic earlier that day. Her body shuddered violently as if the cold air had only just hit her. The boy quickly shrugged out of his own Slytherin robe and draped it over her icy shoulders.

"We better get going, as soon as they realize I'm gone, there will be a search party sent out in no time." He said with a smirk tugging on the corner of his pale lips. He began to get up but Halo quickly grabbed his arm and turned him to face her.

"Can we stay? Just a little bit longer?" His eyes bored into Halo's soul as slowly he nodded and resumed his previous position except this time he was a good few inches closer to her than he was before. "I'm Halo by the way." She broke the un awkward silence between the two pupils.

"Draco Mal-" He cut him self off immediately but Halo did not question his actions. She could feel her eyelids losing the endless battle and slowly she rested her head on Draco's shoulder, letting herself succumb to her dreams.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When Halo awoke, she did not open her eyes straight away. Instead, she simply lay in the unfamiliar bed considering the possibilities of where on earth she was at that exact moment in time. She slowly spread her arms out and noted that the bed was extremely bigger than the one in her dormitory and had a rather more comfortable mattress. She gave up and squinted as her eyes fluttered open, pained by the bright light that suddenly flooded her vision. She was right. She had absolutely no bloody clue where she was. The king sized bed she was lead on and the giant Slytherin wall hangings were a completely new sight to her. The room was a lot larger than hers and she could see that a lot of money had gone into this dorm room. Every thing in the room was most exquisite and looked highly fragile. She looked down and saw that she was still dressed, Thank God. She had never slept with anyone who she did not know.

"You're up? I didn't want to wake you." She had not noticed the door to her right had opened and Draco was now leaning against the door frame fully dressed and looking sharp. He must have seen Halo's eyes widen as he chuckled before giving an explanation. "Don't worry, I slept on the couch," he gestured over to an extremely comfy looking emerald sofa. "Last night you sort of passed out on me and I didn't know which your dorm room was. Everyone still thinks you're missing but I told Professor Snape about an hour a go what happened and he told all the staff that you had a huge headache and got lost in a secret passageway and ended up at Hogsmeade so you won't get in trouble for that." He smiled at her. Halo somehow got the feeling that the pale boy stood before her did not smile often. She shifted off the end of the bed and walked closer to Draco.

"Thank you…for everything. I should probably be getting back to my dorm now; I have to get my books." She kissed him lightly on the cheek before turning the handle on the largest door and exiting into the corridor leaving a bewildered Draco left to stare after her. Halo was surprised to see that her own dorm room was only four doors down. She quickly grabbed all of her books, not checking to see what lessons she had that day and power walked out of the common room and up to the great hall. She did not fail to notice that not as many people were staring at her today as she entered the large dining room. She immediately felt someone crash into her giving her a large hug.

"Where the hell have you been?!" Luna's voice was sharp yet breathless. "I went to the hospital wing and Madam Pomfrey said that you hadn't been in there at all! I got so scared!"

"Luna, calm down. I got lost and ended up in Hogsmeade after I came across a secret passage way. I'm so sorry to worry you but seriously, I'm fine. Now if you don't mind, I'm kind of struggling to breathe." Luna reluctantly let Halo go after squeezing the pale girl tightly once more. The two girls took their seats and they were soon joined by Ron, Harry and Hermione and they fired questions at her. Halo kept her story straight but the looks that Hermione gave her showed her that they did not believe a word of it. Halo did not really mind. She had always believed that the truth was over rated anyway. In Halo's world, fantasies were much better than reality. From when she was just a child, she always had the best of imaginations. She was able to just shut out the world and switch off into her own world.

She saw him enter from the corner of her eye but she did not look at him even though she could feel his pearly grey eyes scorching her skin. She heard Ron pass a comment to Harry about the 'Slytherin Prince' but Halo was not fully paying attention. Instead she was using her wand to create mystical lights that floated in the air and smiling as each one appeared. She still knew that he was watching her, she could feel it. She jumped slightly after someone nudged her gently.

"Halo, we're in care of magical creatures next but you and Harry are in charms so he'll walk you to your lesson. See you later." Ron smiled at her before running to catch up with Hermione and Luna who were halfway out of the door. Halo felt a smile rush to her face. She loved and excelled in charms, it was by far her best subject. She turned around to face the messy haired boy and beamed at him. He returned the gesture before showing her the way to the charm's classroom as promised.

"So Harry, where do your parents live?" They had been chatting whilst walking, getting to know each other. He looked startled when she asked that but he shook his head and answered the apparently oblivious young girl.

"Well, actually I don't live with my parents, I live at my auntie and uncle's instead," Harry was surprised when she did not press the matter of where his parents were. "Listen," Harry stopped Halo and turned her around to face him "I saw Draco Malfoy carrying you back in from the forest last night and I just wanted to say…be careful okay?"

"Why, what's wrong with him?"

"It is a well known fact that he is…involved with some dangerous people. You can never let your guards down around a Malfoy." He cautioned softly. Halo nodded and carried on walking.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The continuous smile on Halo's face lit up the dreary classroom as she watched her magic dance in the air. She was enchanted by the crystals that shimmered a few feet above her. Professor Flitwick had really taken a shine to her as he had watched her doing her spells for most of the time. She was miles ahead of all the other pupils. Draco was sat on a desk in the right corner of the room. He was watching Halo intently as she twirled her fingers through her messy hair. He could not help but smile when he saw the happiness smeared over her perfect face. Halo knew he was watching her, but it did not intimidate her or put her down.

"Oi Malfoy?! You got nothing better to do than stalk girls?" Halo heard Harry's voice as he casually walked over to the blonde boy.

"Shut up Scar head! Go meet you mother!"

"Don't you dare talk about my mother; you should be locked up like your father!" There was a loud crunching noise as Draco's fist met Harry's nose. Harry fell on the ground clutching his obviously broken nose "Standing up to the dark lord is suicide, so obviously you're mother could not stand the sight of yo-" Draco stopped when he saw Halo run to Harry's aid. She did not meet her fellow Slytherin's eye once as she helped Harry to his feet. The two began to make their way out of the classroom to make their way to the Hospital wing but Draco tried to follow. He ran out of the classroom door and was about to yell her name but she turned around sharply and bore her eyes into his. She did not once speak but her voice screamed into Draco's mind.

Monster!

The pale adolescent stopped dead in his tracks and simply stared after her as she helped Harry down the long and lonely corridor.

Sorry! I know that I said it would be in Draco's point of view but after several failed attempts I decided that continuing it as it was would be better and would keep you waiting a little less longer. This chapter was not as long as the first one and that is simply because I had lots of ideas but could not fit them all in so rather than make a rushed long chapter, I thought this way would work better.

Please review! I love hearing what you have to say and your opinions on my story. I plan on giving this story at leasta good twenty five chapters and the words in each chapter may vary but will definitely be above two thousand words each. So please click that beautiful button and REVIEW!
