NESSA POINT OF VIEW
I stormed back into the great hall, sitting down next to a surprised Blaise and Draco. I sneered at the table for a moment, then Blaise cleared his throat. "You okay, love?"
"Where is Ebony?" Draco asked before I could even get my mouth open to answer.
I glared at him when he mentioned the girl I had just left. "Why the hell would you care? And thanks to you, I just got in a fight with my best friend. So I would appriciate it if you would just back off."
Draco's eyebrows rose. "First of all, do not talk to me like that. Second, its my fault how?"
"Damn Draco!" I yelled, completely disregarding the fact that he could give me detention- or hex me- at any moment. "Ebony is in love with you, you're the father of her child, and you told her you don't have any feelings for her what so ever!"
Silence. Through the entire hall. I looked around and saw everyone staring at either me or Draco. Oh shit, this is really going to make Ebony happy…. I mean, not everyone knew Draco was Anna's father.
"I have to go." Draco said, his voice low as he glared at me. He stood quickly and walked out of the great hall, not looking back.
People immediately started whispering to each other. "Draco- Anna," "Ebony- love". I put my head in my hands and groaned. Blaise put his arm around my shoulder. "This is really going to be fun." He muttered, echoing the words ringing in my own head.
DRACO POINT OF VIEW
Did she really have to let the entire population of Hogwarts know about my business? Nobody really needed to know about me and Ebony. Or Anna-
"Malfoy!"
I froze and slowly turned around, my hand wrapped around my wand. "Potter." I said lowly.
Potter had his own wand in hand, but it was hanging at his side, almost like he wasnt planning on using it. "Malfoy ,I didn't come to hex you."
"Like you could." I sneered. This is just what I needed. A fight with Potter to get my mind off of Ebony-
"I heard what happened in the great hall." Potter commented, his wand still hanging at his side.
Damn. Maybe not.
"And?" I questioned, trying to act like I didnt care.
Potter rolled his eyes. "Malfoy, I don't like you, and until today, I didn't think I liked Ebony either. But I changed my mind. She's a great girl and she loves you. I don't know why," He looked at me with obvious disdain, "but she does. And everyone can see how much you care for her. So why are you trying to hide it? Showing how much you love her isn't going to make anyone think you're weak, or a pansy. So what if people realize you're human? Is it really worth hurting yourself over? Or worse, hurting Ebony?"
I stared at him. He looked at me a second longer, then turned and walked back the way he had come. I had never given a second thought to anything Potter had said, but this one really hit home. Was he right? Why the hell am I fighting this? Why am I-
Stupid Potter.
EBONY POINT OF VIEW
I was sitting in my room. Was Nessa right? Did I really push everyone away? I didnt want to be one of those people that graduated Hogwarts, and stayed at home alone for the rest of their lives. I mean, what happened in five years, when Draco finds someone he falls in love with? What would happen to Anna? And how could I just sit there and watch all of it? Did I really push people so much? Is that the reason why Draco-
"Ebony!"
I froze at the sound of that voice, then quickly stood and walked to the edge of the stairs. "Draco? What do you want?" I called, looking down at him.
Draco looked at me, his eyes slightly wild. His hair was rumpled, like he had been running his hands through it. Or some other person had-
I swallowed hard and tried not to finish that thought. It was way to soon for me to even think that he could have been doing that with someone else. "Come here." Draco said, his voice slightly hoarse.
I instantly felt fear. Had he heard something about Anna? I practically ran down the stairs. "What is it? What's wrong? Is it Anna?"
He didn't answer, just looked at me a moment. A moment that I had every fear in my life realized. Was Anna sick? Had she been hurt? Was my mom okay? Had my dad already made his move? Had his father-
Then I felt his lips pressed against mine, the pressure barely there. He pulled away quickly, then stared into my eyes. "I love you." He said in that same voice, a voice that was completely raw. Then he leaned down once again, capturing my lips with his own.
