Chapter 2

Livia's POV

"Stop looking at that Potter, you're giving me nausea."

I rolled my eyes at my best friend without giving him a glance. I should have never told him. Actually, I never really wanted him to know. Don't get me wrong, I trust in him. I just find it akward that my best friend knows i'm in love with his worse enemy.

"Shut up Draco or I'll reveal all your secrets." I grinned.

He knew that I knew every little thing about him. We've been best friends since forever and a day, and have lived pratically all our lives next to each other. We used to spent our days together, and I was in almost every single important events or touching memories he had.

Draco turned to me, frowning meanly to me.

"You better not tell a single soul." he said.

I hated that we had to threaten each other to be sure our secrets were safe. That's not really what best friends are all about. But even though we were really close, we didn't know how to trust each other just yet.

"Same to you." I smiled mischievously.

"Fine. It's a deal." he added.

I turned back and looked at Harry again. I loved everything about that guy. From his smile to his courage. He was the perfection in my eyes. He was everything I needed.

Of course, he had no idea about my feelings. No one knew, except Draco, who discovered it despite himself... and myself. He had been really surprised, and I think he didn't really want to believe it, which is why he barely told me anything about it. Except, of course, to make me change my mind about him. But in no way I was going to.

"This guy is anything but interesting, Livia."

I took a big breath and sighed, pretending I didn't hear anything.

"No, really. Pure bloods like us can't be bothered to befriend people like that."

I closed my eyes, biting my lips to stop myself from screaming at the idiot I had of a best friend.

"And he's a gryffindor. We're slytherins. There's a non-ending war between us."

"Thanks Draco, I didn't know that." I answered sarcastically.

I surprised myself. Of course, I had been sarcastic, but I hadn't been mean, and I didn't yell, which, to me, was pretty special. I was trying to contain my emotions and my passion, since I had a tendency to explode.

"Liv, I'm only trying to help you..."

"No..." I cut him straight. "You're trying to make me stop the feelings I have. But all you're doing is making me angry. So here's an amazing advice. Shut up." I said, staring in his eyes.

He suddenly put on his I-don't-care face and looked at me like he was mighty.

"Fine. Just don't listen to me. It's your loss."

I wanted to answer him but I stopped myself. It was not worth it at all. And what Draco hated the most, was when I ignored him.

I looked once again at Harry, laughing with Ronald and Hermione at the Gryffindor's table. They knew me because I was always walking around with Draco, and I was there everytime he'd insult the trio. To be honest, I loved going there with him, just to see Harry's traits from closer.

I had no idea why this guy obsessed me to the point where I'd give up everything I had just to be with him. It was not simply love. I swear there was something else running in my vein. Something more important. Something that linked us somehow.

"Hello dear." Katie said, sitting next to me.

I smiled to her and turned back to Draco who was in deep conversation with Blaise. The truth is, I couldn't stand that guy. I looked at my friend and smiled again.

"What's up?" I asked her.

"Oh, you don't care. So, you're still... staring?" she grinned.

I knew she was on the verge of laughing at my pathetic ass, and I couldn't blame her.

"Is that so obvious?"

That time, she laughed lightly.

"Kinda."

I raised my eyebows to her.

"Okay, it is really obvious. But no one around here cares enough about others to notice."

I grinned sincerely at her.

"True."

A silence took place while I was taking a decision.

"Katie? I need your help." I finally said.
