I'm tired of fainting

Maddie's POV

"What is it daddy?" I asked as I sat down next to my mother. I had only just realised how alike we were. We looked exactly the same, we were like twins I guess you could say. In a way it was strange though how I looked everything like my mother but as far as I knew, I didn't have any of my father's powers or looks.

"Maddie? Are you listening?" I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard my father raise his voice slightly.

"Sorry daddy I was just thinking. I didn't hear you start talking." He nodded and started talking again and this time I was listening.

"Now the news is good news, well at least we hope it will be, we think it is but you may have another opinion. Now today you and Draco are going to Diagon Alley to not only get your school supplies but also to pick out an engagement ring."

I went to nod but then what he had said had sunk in and I snapped my head in his direction with a confused look.

"Are you saying that I'm getting engaged to Draco, father?" I asked hoping that it wasn't true. Yes I had feelings for him but I would never ruin our friendship for a chance to act on them.

"Yes that is what I am saying." I gave a small nod and felt the knot in my stomach tighten at his words.

"Why am I getting the feeling that you're not happy with this?" I felt as though I was being x-rayed. I could feel my father enter my mind and I pushed all my thoughts of this situation towards the surface for him to see.

"I see. Well I don't think that will be a problem. Now don't forget you have to be back here at 5 o'clock. We are having a ball to announce the news to everyone."

Not a Problem? How could he say that? Draco's my best friend he always will be. Even if I do have feelings for him so what? that doesn't mean I have to get married to him.

I was furious, and I was letting everyone at the table know that as well. They were shifting in their seats feeling the heat radiate off me. The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

"So what do you want for breakfast today bear?" Lucius asked me. The response he got was a glare before I couldn't take it anymore.

"How could you do that? He's my best friend for goodness sakes!! How could you even possibly think for one minute that I could marry him?" I screamed at them before standing up and running out of the room. But not without noticing the sad and hurt look on Draco's face.

I ran up to my room and slammed the door. I didn't know what to think at the moment everything was whizzing round my head and it was hard to think. I lent up against it but my legs wouldn't hold me up. I felt so weak all of a sudden. I felt faint and light headed so I carefully walked over to my bed, but before I got there I collapsed. My last thought before I welcomed the darkness was I'm getting tired of fainting.

Sorry to leave it this way but I couldn't think of anything more to write.

Plzzzzzz R&R
