"GWENDOLYN! GWENDOLYN!" Draco yelled as he chased her down the hallway. Gwendolyn walked into the Slytherin common room, Draco walked in behind her. Apparently, many people heard what Hermione said because half of Slytherin was in the Slytherin common room right now. Everyone turned to glare at Draco when he came in .Gwendolyn sat down on the couch while two girls comforted her. Her head was buried in her hands, just the way Malfoy had when she caught him crying last night.
"Get lost Malfoy!" Violet yelled, she was one of Gwendolyn's closest friends. Violet had blonde long hair that fell to her butt. She had strawberry blonde highlights that brought out her hazel eyes. She was wearing a gray blouse and a blue sequined skirt with black Mary Jane's. Violet was overprotective of Gwendolyn, like a big sister. Anybody that made Gwendolyn cry she threatened them that she would come after them with a chainsaw and a crowbar.
"Yeah, Malfoy. No one wants you here," Katerina said as she grabbed a box of tissues for Gwendolyn. Katerina had the biggest heart, but when someone hurt her friends, she could be the cruelest person ever. Her blonde hair was almost white which matched her pale complexion. Her eyes were like the sky. She was wearing typical Slytherin attire. Gwendolyn sniffed and looked up at Malfoy.
"Violet, Katerina, while both of you are correct I want to see what he has to say," Gwendolyn said, tears still coming down her face.
"Gwendolyn, I'll admit I am a jackass as a boyfriend, but I am not a jackass as a friend. That is what I want to be is friends. Nothing more," Draco explained. Gwendolyn began crying again. Draco was confused; he thought that is what she wanted in the first place. Gwendolyn ran out of the common room crying, the door slammed behind her.
"What did I do?" Draco asked, he was confused at this point.
"You idiot!" Violet said as she stood up. "She doesn't want to be friends, Malfoy. She fell for you. That is why she was crying," Violet explained. She gestured to her boyfriend, Spencer Reid, to get up. Spencer Reid was tall and had great bronze colored hair. "You better watch yourself, Malfoy, if I ever see you again hurting my friends I'll come after you with a crowbar!" Reid dragged her out of the common room.
"She likes me?" Draco asked, still shocked by what Violet said.
"Yeah, Draco, she likes you. Then you came in and acted like a complete jerk. I do not if she will speak to you again. You really blew it," Katerina looked at him disgust.
"I didn't know!" Draco yelled.
"You really did not know. Did you not see what she did for you this morning? She would never do that for just some guy," Katerina explained.
"I guess," Draco said quietly, things were starting to make sense.
"You are really stupid when it comes to this," Katerina said as she smiled. She got up and walked out of the Slytherin common room. Draco followed her out.
"Katerina!" Draco yelled.
She turned around to smile at Draco, "Yes, Draco?"
"When is the right time to talk to her?" Draco asked.
"Not when there is a big crowd around. I would give her the rest of the day to let her cool off," Katerina said.
"Thanks," Draco said and smiled as he went to class.
Gwendolyn ran to the Gryffindor common room. The fat lady was awake when she got there. She was still crying as much as she was when she ran out of the Slytherin common room. She had fallen for Draco and he jus wanted to be friends. She was so upset.
"Why are you crying?" The fat lady asked.
"Is.. Hermione..in.. there?" Gwendolyn managed to ask while tears were coming down her face.
"Yes, what is the password though?" The fat lady asked. She felt sad for the girl that was crying. She was Slytherin though, why did she need to see Hermione?
"Lightning bugs," Gwendolyn whispered. She had eavesdropped on Gryffindor students using that password. The door swung open. Gwendolyn walked in to find Hermione and Ron reading books on the couch.
Hermione was the first one to notice her. If Gwendolyn had not been crying, she probably would have acted differently. "Umm hello?" Hermione was shocked that Gwendolyn was in the Gryffindor common room. Gwendolyn managed to stop crying so she could talk to her Hermione.
"Can we talk?" Gwendolyn asked. Hermione nodded.
Ron gathered his stuff up, kissed Hermione goodbye, "I take it this is my cue to leave." Ron shut the door quietly when he left. Gwendolyn sat down on the couch next to Hermione.
"What do you need?" Hermione asked, still pissed about the way Gwendolyn had acted at breakfast.
"I came here to apologize. I did not know that Draco was that horrible to you. He only told me one side of the story," Gwendolyn explained, tears began to well up when she said Draco.
"Why have you been crying?" Hermione asked. She was surprised that she came to apologize; she did not think Slytherin had it in them to apologize.
"Because I fell for Draco!" Gwendolyn yelled as she began crying again. Ever since breakfast, it had been on and off crying for her. Hermione was shocked.
"Why is that a problem?" Hermione asked concerned. "A better question is why have you come to tell me?"
"Let me explain. I fell for him then you told me everything bad that he has done. I became frustrated with myself for falling for a guy who treats a girl like that. Then he chased me into the Slytherin common room where everyone else was. Then he told me that he isn't a jackass as a friend but he is as a boyfriend. And all he wants to be is friends, nothing more," Gwendolyn explained.
"He is a jackass!" Hermione was appalled. "I thank you though for apologizing. That was admirable of a Slytherin to do."
"Not all of us are bitches and assholes," Gwendolyn said offended by Hermione's remark.
"No, just Draco," Hermione said with a smile. Gwendolyn smiled and stopped crying.
"What do I do though? I mean I still like him though," Gwendolyn said worried that she had lost Draco for good.
"For right now I would worry about getting to your classes. Then let him talk to you. Have him make the next move," Hermione explained. She began to wipe off Gwendolyn's mascara that had run to her chin. "And you need to fix your makeup."
"Thanks Hermione," Gwendolyn smiled. She got up from the couch, fixed her dress and left the Gryffindor common room.
A few days later, in the Slytherin common room, Draco was pacing back and forth. Crabbe and Goyle were sitting on the green couch in the middle of the common room.
"I don't know what to do!" Draco yelled, he had been pacing like this for at least an hour.
"What do you mean?" Crabbe asked, completely unaware of what was going on.
"I think you should date her," Goyle chimed in. Draco stopped pacing and stared at Goyle.
"Really? You think so?" Draco asked.
"Your into her and she adores you," Goyle explained. "She's a lot better than Granger."
"OH GWENDOLYN! That's who we are talking about," Crabbe realized. Draco and Goyle rolled their eyes at his stupidity. "Yeah, I like her."
"But I looked like such an ass the last time I talked to her," Draco said.
Goyle sat up and began to take this seriously. "Think of the positive things if you two started dating."
"She's smart, in Slytherin, Bellatrix's daughter, and she is the prettiest girl I have ever seen," Draco said smiling.
"Your smiling! Your falling for her!" Goyle realized.
"How do you know?" Draco asked, still smiling.
"You never would smile whenever someone brought up Hermione. And you called her the prettiest girl in the world," Goyle said. There was a long pause before anyone spoke. "Jesus Christ Draco! Go and talk to her!"
Draco smiled and ran out of the Slytherin common room wanting to find Gwendolyn. He searched everyplace that he thought she would be. Finally he was about to give up when he turned around and found Gwendolyn talking to Violet and Katerina. She was wearing full out Slytherin attire, which was unusual for her. There were people everywhere in this hallway, so he was sure to create and audience. He walked right up to her.
"Hey Draco!" Gwendolyn said with a smile.
"I don't want to be just friends," Draco said. Not even a second later he grabbed her by the waist and kissed her.
