This is solely a fan fiction made due to addictiveness to the Harry potter Series book, I of course do not own the series, but simple a fan who loves to write and have been inspired by J.K. Rowling's story.
CHAPTER III: What seems to be not 1.1
Her circumstances
"We cannot seek or attain health, wealth, learning, justice or kindness in general. Action is always specific, concrete, individualized, and unique"
Malfoy ended up forcing himself to do the project with me, although he makes the decision of the time when and where we meet, that's fine. Of course I still despise him a lot. I remember when we were in our 3rd year, he kept staring at me in transfiguration class as if I'm pissing him off or something similar, he just looked quite displeased.
I hated him for that, but I need this project too, I have to get a higher mark than Vaughen does, he's my only competition in every class we have, especially now. I have to prove him I'm intelligent, charming and hardworking, even if I have to work with Malfoy. Maybe I like Vaughen, that I keep trying so hard to guess what kind of things pleases him; I can't bother and ask Emily about such embarrassing things but my curiosity is at its limits.
Later that day, I had a note from Malfoy telling me to meet him at the Quidditch pitch at night. I thought of bringing Emily with me, as being with a guy alone at night is quite dangerous, more dangerous than being with a beast. But on second thought Malfoy would probably kill me if I did so I decided not to bother her.
As I walked down the dark road I caught a glimpse of someone familiar, someone like Vaughen. I started following him silently, like a stalker, watching my every step along the way trying hard not to make noise or to be seen by him.
He walked very slow, calm and almost drowsy; he then sped himself as if noticing someone, I hope it's not me, then suddenly stopped at a very empty dark corridor. I hid myself behind a wall, fortunately it was near him that I can hear and at least see who he is meeting with.
"What it is that you want" Vaughen said sounding very pissed off.
"Don't be angry, I just wanted to talk to you alone, I haven't had the time to talk with you since we got here back in Hogwarts" said a female voice. She then silently walked pacing the moonlight that allowed me to see that it was… Ermine
I should've known with just the tone of the voice and the way she talked. I felt quite upset and jealous, and curious too.
"What then?" he asked her demandingly.
"I just wanted to apologize. I know I've said it over and over since last year, but it seems that you're still not okay yet. They say your less social now, you don't even talk to Malfoy" She replied worriedly.
"You meddle too much, I told you I'm fine, and stop worrying about me. The farther you distance yourself from me the better" he replied angrily.
"I'm just-"
"-DON'T be guilty of your actions… I know… it's not your fault. So try to focus on your own life, and leave me as I used to be" he replied now sounding a bit more calm.
"Alright then… for the last time… I'm sorry" she said.
And then, I saw the most dreadful and painful thing of all. I wished I hadn't seen any of this scene, or followed Vaughen; I should've gone straight and meet Malfoy, that way I couldn't have seen something that really made my heart turn and tear itself to pieces, and made my eyes all warm as I feel my tears roll down my cold cheeks. He hugged her, so tender, you can see the feelings of which he tried to suppress, and put in the words he couldn't tell.
"Go, I don't want you catching a cold" Vaughen said, after pulling himself out of his passionate embrace he suddenly pushed her gently away from him and started to walk. I saw a glimpse of Ermine, who looked very shocked, confused and… a trace of guilt from her face was to be seen under the moonlight. I felt very heart broken, and sad from the scene I have just seen; something I wasn't, or I didn't want to see…
I even forgot to meet Malfoy in the dark Quidditch pitch. I thought of how he'd behave and be outraged with me for not having to meet him, but I don't care… my heart hurts… so much… why is that?
The next day, I met up with some of my friends from Ravenclaw. I had wanted to spend some time with them and talk about fascinating creatures and logical theories they all conducted; they were all very bright and witty that made me feel very much accompanied.
"HOW DARE YOU" shouted an angry voice from behind me. It was obviously Malfoy.
"Yeah…sorry about that" I replied.
"The hell with that, you come with me NOW!" he demanded and started pulling me harshly away from the Ravenclaws.
"I think I made myself clear yesterday" he started and gave a mad menacing stare.
"I know… I'm sorry…." I said gloomily.
"You know the consequences of this right?" he asked curiously, changing his mad mood into a very curious one.
"Yes, do what you want to…" I replied.
"What's the matter with you?!" he then asked. He eyed me suspiciously.
"Not much" I said.
"Yeah, well if you're going to do that again I might suggest you do the stupid project by yourself! You almost got me killed!" he said sparingly.
"Alright" I replied, still with a gloomy tone.
"I don't know what the matter is with you, but I hope you better change that ill gloomy temper of yours by this afternoon. It's the only time and day for this week that I can help you with that stupid project thing" he said and started to walk away.
"Now that's quite a new scene, Malfoy and You talking. Are you going out?" asked a girl. It took me quite a few minutes to regain consciousness of what was going on and back to the real world to notice it was Emily.
"Oh" I replied.
"What's the matter? You don't seem well? Is he really that bad" asked Emily.
"No, no it's not Malfoy. I just feel… depressed today that's all" I said.
"Well then I hope you cheer up, were having a party later in the common room. It's Victoire's Birthday" Emily said.
"Oh, I forgot. I should buy her a gift tomorrow, there's a Hogsmeade trip right?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure" she replied.
The common room was filled with pictures of Victoire, noise and a lot of food. All seemed to be having a great time, Odette was trying to get James's Attention, who was talking with Emily. Albus kept himself distanced to Joelle who seemed to read an odd newspaper. I felt really sad about having to celebrate something happy when I'm really sad.
I haven't seen Vaughen for a while so I started walking out of the common room and sat myself inside the great hall to wait for Malfoy. I know its way to early to wait for him, as we were suppose to meet 2 hours later, but I hoped that for any reason I might see Vaughen in the great hall. After an hour I heard a loud bang from the corridor and voices, a male and a female bickering and cursing each other fervently. Their voices grew little by little as they came close; there weren't a lot of students in the great hall, just me, a Ravenclaw, Two hufflepuffs and 4 Slytherins as all the Gryffindors were celebrating in the common room for Victoire.
"Ce'st ne pas Vrais! Non mon Cherie" said a familiar voice. Of course it had to be Victoire as she's the only one who speaks French in Hogwarts, good thing Teddy understands French as he struggled and tried all his best to understand Victoire. Victoire can speak and understand English; she just likes speaking in French cause she says it makes her cute.
"Then why? Why did you kiss him?!" shouted a very angry voice, that has to be Ted.
"Eet was eh Parting" she replied.
"No! You don't do that in this country, you're not in France" replied Ted.
The started bickering again inside the great hall, all of the people were staring at them and started gossiping in each other's ears. It won't take long before Malfoy would come and witness the very intimate fight of a very popular couple in Hogwarts. But then again, I didn't want him to come and meet me… not if He'd bring Vaughen along… because…
"Right then, if that's a parting then can I give away a parting myself as well" replied Ted. And then he looked around the room and immediately caught sight of me; then he started to approach me and grabbed me from the back and… Kissed me
I heard a lot of Gasps from the room, and saw Victoire looking fragile and heartbroken. After a brief moment Ted let go of me and stared emulously at Victoire who looked like she was about to fall and lose consciousness. The worst thing of this event… is that I lost my first kiss in a meaningless way and… that Malfoy arrived in time to see the scene…
Did I tell anyone that Vaughen went along with him too?
