Life and Why It's So Hard
Chapter 2: Broken and Healed all at once
"Go, Harry!" I yelled. Ron was standing next to me flipping out. Hermione was sitting, looking angry.
"What's your problem?" I asked her.
"I think they should have made Harry stay out."
"Hermione, you just wish that were you out there." I stated and looked back at Harry.
"Accio Firebolt!" Harry yelled. His Firebolt went soaring through the crowd and landed in his hand. He managed to get around the dragon and grab the golden egg.
After the competition, Hermione, Ginny, and I left the field together. Harry caught up with us in the castle and threw an arm around my shoulders.
"Hey." He said. His expression was tired, but ecstatic.
"Hey! You did great!" I threw my arms around his neck. "But you could've gotten hurt." He waved that away.
"I didn't do great. You did great."
"How did I do great?" I asked as I took my arms from around his neck.
"You're the one who told me to Summon my Firebolt." He stated and I smiled at him.
"Hey, you two." Ginny got our attention. "Puke." She said and made a gesture to her mouth as if throwing up.
"Oh shut up." I muttered. I looked ahead and saw Draco. I looked right at my feet. He kicked off the wall he was leaning on and stepped in front of us.
"So, Potter, taking credit for what your girlfriend came up with?" He asked and smirked at me.
"You're just jealous because I'm smarter than you." I said; I could tell my face was turning red. I like Draco so much but he is so…nevermind.
"Yeah, right."
"Is that best come back you have?" I took a step forward and started pulling my wand out. Harry pulled me back.
"Give me your wand." He whispered.
"No. Why?"
"I left mine in Gryffindor Tower."
"I thought you might say that." I and pulled his wand out of my pocket and handed it to him. "But I will be doing the charming or hexing." I whispered.
"No, it isn't! You're—you're just mad because I don't like you!" He yelled and my eyes widened despite myself. I felt my jaw tremble. Harry, Hermione, and Ginny all had their jaws dropped.
"Affligo!" I cried and Draco went flying back. I threw my wand aside and ran off.
"Thea!" I heard yell from behind me but I didn't slow. I kept running until my legs couldn't move anymore. I was under a tree near the lake but in the shadow of a tree by the time I stopped running. I sat down and pulled my knees to my chest and started to cry. I laid my head on my knees and my shoulders shook with cries. I heard approaching footsteps. I glanced up half expecting Harry but it was Draco. He sat down beside me.
"I'm sorry, Thea." I had never heard him use my first name or apologize. I was surprised.
"G—go a—away," I my voice cracked. "Before I blast you into the oblivion." I muttered.
"You—you threw your wand."
"I know. I've been practicing wandless m—magic." I was now shivering. He took off his jacket and gave it to me. "No, keep it. You don't like me, remember?"
"I panicked." He muttered and draped his jacket around my shoulders.
"Just go away."
"No. Not until you understanding I'm saying I'm sorry." He whispered. I wiped my eyes and looked over at him. Gosh, he's so hot!
"What time is it?" I asked; my voice trembled. I had never been this close.
"Almost seven."
"I need to go and get my stuff ready for the Yule Ball." I muttered and stood up and started to walk away, but Draco grabbed my hand and pulled me back over to him. He had stood also.
"Whom are you going with?"
"Harry."
"Oh." He looked as if he had been smacked in the face. I gave him his jacket back.
"Thanks." I said and walked away knowing he was still standing there. I stopped when I was out of sight. I turned and ran back over to him and threw my arms around his neck. "Thank you, Draco." I whispered in his ear. I pulled back and glared at him and walked away. He looked shocked. I can't believe I just did that! I like Harry! I'm dating Harry! I ran back over to the castle and up to Gryffindor Tower. I got there right before curfew.
Draco POV
"Thank you, Draco." She whispered in my ear and she walked away with her beautiful reddish brown hair bellowing in the window behind her. Did that just happen? I asked myself as I walked back to Slytherin Commons. This can't be happening! She's Gryffindor! Gry—ffin—dor! Plus, She's dating Potter! Why do I like her so much! Her and I are supposed to be enemies; she's the last freaking descendant Godric Gryffindor! I wonder what my father would think.
"Draco! Watch where you're going!" I looked up. I had run into Professor Snape.
"Sorry, Professor." I said, slightly dazed and walked away. I walked into Slytherin Commons and sat in a chair. Pansy Parkinson came by and sat down in my lap.
"This seat open?" She asked.
"Go away." I snapped and she jumped up and stalked away. Ugh! I'm being such a jerk!
Thea POV
I sat down on the couch in Gryffindor Common Room. Harry came over and sat beside me.
"Here's your wand." He muttered and handed it to me. "We looked for you but couldn't find you exactly."
"That's fine."
"Okay, are you okay?" He asked softly.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I smiled weakly. He put an arm around me and I laid my head on his shoulder.
"Do you really like Draco?" Harry asked, all of a sudden.
"Not really." I lied. I knew I shouldn't lie, but at this point I was feeling kind of bipolar and I don't know who I like and don't. Harry kissed me on the forehead. "Harry, I need to be getting to bed." I muttered.
"Okay, er…" awe! He's nervous! We stood up.
"See you tomorrow." I said and started to walk away but he grabbed my wrist. I turned and look at him. "What?"
"No—nothing." He said and let go. I walked back over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck and stood on my tiptoes and kissed him. He put his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. I was as close as I could get, but I wanted to be closer. I tightened my arms. He was warm, really warm. I twisted one of my hands in his hair.
When we pulled away, we were both gasping for breath.
"Wow." He muttered.
"See you tomorrow." I whispered lightly and walked away, smiling. I when I got upstairs, I saw Hermione and Ginny looking through the door.
"You're first kiss!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Ginny! You were watching? And Hermione?"
"Yep, we were!
I hope you liked it! i kind of went out of the ordinary with this one. Sorry, it was random. Review!
