I ran the towel through my hair before I tossed it into the washroom.

I looked at myself in the mirror as I pushed my hair behind my eyes.

"Stop staring at yourself, you know you look good."

I turned my gaze towards Draco, "thank you, but I have to check myself out anyways."

I heard a knock on the door as Draco moved to open it.

"Mum."

"Dinner's in ten minutes."

She closed the door behind her as I looked towards my suitcase.

"What the fuck should I wear?"

"Just wear what you always wear."

"See I would but now that I have the absolute pleasure of enduring another meal with the lovely Maggie Cooper, I want to look even better than usual."

Draco gave me a sympathetic smile, "I'm sorry."

I held my hand up, "I know you are, but please stop saying that to me. I know you mean well by it and I know you truly mean it but being here again is hard enough for me without being constantly reminded of it. Although I must say that the presence of a certain family is making that goal impossible for me."

"Alright."

I walked over to my suitcase and pulled out a pair of high waisted dark blue jeans and a tank top. I quickly slipped into my new outfit and tucked in my shirt, leaving the top button on my tank top open.

I placed a necklace on before I pushed my rings back onto my fingers.

"Alright."

Draco came towards me and slipped his arms around my waist before he leaned down and kissed my lips.

"Let's go."

I took a deep breath as he lead the way down the hall, down the stairs and into the dining room.

I looked around the table and saw everyone had already taken their seats but to my delight, Maggie's seat wasn't situated next to Draco's this time.

"I'm sorry we're late."

Lucius stood up from his seat and pulled out the chair to his right, "it's not a problem. Please."

He held his palm up as he motioned, "take a seat."

I obliged and sat down as Draco took the seat next to me.

"You look nice, dear."

I looked down the table at Narcissa, "oh, thank you. You do as well."

I felt Draco touch my knee as I looked towards him.

I mouthed, "please let this go by fast."

I watched as the parents left the dining room and retired to the study to have a few drinks.

I stood up from my seat and looked across the table at Maggie.

"Well, looks like it's just the three of us!"

"Unfortunately yes."

"Unfortunately? How could this possibly be unfortunate? The last time we met you and I never exactly got a chance to get to know each other... although I did get a chance to reconnect with Draco."

"You're going to need to stop that."

She shook her finger at me as she stood up and pushed her chair in, "don't be so mean. After all I have known Draco for much longer than you have. He wouldn't want you to be unkind to me."

She grinned as she moved her gaze from me and over to Draco, "isn't that right?"

"I may have known you for a long time but that doesn't mean anything."

He grabbed onto my arm and quickly pulled me out of the room and up the stairs into his room.

I sat down on the bed before I was knocked over as Draco climbed on top of me.

"Hi."

I giggled, "hey."

He moved his hand and touched my hair, "you know you're everything I have."

"I know."

He kissed the tip of my nose before I heard a cough at the door.

"You can't expect me to hang out by myself in this big house. I need some company."

I held my hand over my eyes, "please make it stop."

Draco moved off of me as I sat up and leaned my head on his shoulder.

I watched Maggie as she stepped into the room, glancing around at everything before she took a seat in the chair at his desk.

"It's been a while since I've been in here, hasn't it? Seven months, maybe?"

Draco glared at her, "you need to stop."

"Why? I had a good time that night and if I recall, so did you."

I stood up, "that's enough."

"Enough of what?"

"Look, I have tried my hardest to not say anything to you but I can't take it anymore."

She opened her arms, "speak up, then."

"How do you even sleep at night knowing that you did what you did?"

"It takes two people to have sex, you know. I wasn't the only one there."

"Well thank you so much for telling me that, I had absolutely no idea."

I took a deep breath, "Draco knows what he's done and he's paid for it but that doesn't give you the right to be here in front of me and bring it up again."

"Why not?"

"You have no business trying to pry your way into our relationship. You tried once and although it may have worked for a moment it's not going to work again."

"And who's to say that? Your boyfriend already cheated on you once, I'm sure he'd be willing to do it again."

"I won't."

I turned around to look at Draco who had moved to the edge of the bed as he placed his hand on my leg.

"I don't believe you."

"Look, I hurt her once and it was more than I could bare. I won't do that again, I can't."

"You're not telling the truth Draco. We slept together more than once while you were with Pansy, that's not going to change."

"That was different. I wasn't in love with Pansy."

"But you are with her?"

"Terribly."

She stood up from her seat and looked at me, "how could you be? I don't see it."

My heart beat rose as the anger inside me became more prominent.

Draco came beside me, "if you're wanting a list of reasons as to why I'm in love with Evelyn then I can give you exactly that but somehow I think you want me to give that you to."

She crossed her arms and looked at me, "she's not your type."

I held my hands down as I felt a twinge in my fingertips.

"You really need to stop now."

"And why's that? Are you going to hit me or something?"

I laughed, "no, I'm not going to hit you."

"So why should I stop then? I'm having a very good time being here with you both."

"Do you know what you are?"

"Enlighten me, please."

"I've seen my fair share of people who try to hurt me and it's usually for the same reason. Jealousy. They can't take that I seem to have something that they either don't or can't. Whether it be that I got better grades then them, had better friends, or maybe I was prettier, but that didn't matter, it still happened. But I got it. I knew why they were doing what they did so that at least made it a tiny bit better."

I took a step closer towards her, "but you're the worst one I've ever seen. At least with those people there was some sort of underlying reasoning that could make sense but for the life of me I can't find one in you. You came here with a purpose and that was to get under my skin and hurt me just for the sake of hurting me...I can honestly say that you are the worst person I've ever met, and let me tell you I've had the pleasure of meeting some terrible people in my life. Would you like to know why? Because you derive pleasure from other people's pain. To me, you're nothing but a psychopathic whore and if you don't get out of my sight I swear to God I just might kill you."

She stared at me and every bit of effervescence that she had displayed on her face disappeared.

"I don't believe you."

Draco coughed, "you might want to. She's the most powerful witch I know."

She glared at me before she stepped towards the door.

"I'll be downstairs if you need me, Draco."

As she turned the corner into the hall I released my breath.

"I'm sorry. That was too much."

"It wasn't."

"Are you sure."

His reached out and placed my hand on my chest, "I'm positive." He smiled, "you are so incredibly sexy right now."

I smirked before I pushed him onto the bed.

I jumped in on top of him and straddled him before I looked towards the door, reached my hand out and forced it closed.

"There, now we can have some privacy."
