"I still can't believe you guys did that. I mean what if she remembers everything when she wakes up. Alex, you would be so screwed and Snape said you're not allowed to be on this mission anymore." Daphne hissed as we walked down the hallway to go finish up some last minute homework in the library. We were walking by a classroom when Daphne yanked me behind a pillar.
"What are you doing?" She told me to shut up and pointed to the classroom. "Are you sure she didn't have this with her when you two got to Hogsmeade?"
"Like I said, she came out of the loo and had that… Then she was talking about taking it to Professor Dumbledore." I heard a mumble and then saw a girl leave the classroom. She was from Gryffindor too; she was always hanging out with the girl I cursed. I saw Professor Snape walk into the classroom and then some more muttering. "I know who did it." That was Potter's voice. Daphne looked at me with worry written all over her face.
"It was Tasso and Malfoy. I saw them in The Three Broomstick and Katie came out right after Tasso came out of the loo." I heard movement and Daphne pulled down a different hallway. We walked quickly into the library and found a table in the very back. I opened up my Potions book and stared at the page for the longest time.
"I'm so screwed aren't I?"
"You and Draco both." Daphne whisper patting my shoulder. I banged my head on the table and let out a groan. I finished up my work way before Daphne did and I was planning on waiting for her, but then Blaise walked up… Yeah, I didn't really want to see them make out, so I thought I would go check on Draco, who was working on the cabinet. I was almost about to make it up the steps when Potter grabbed my arm. I did a mental cringe and pushed him off of me.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, Potter?" I hissed trying to walk up the stairs again. But the idiot blocked my path. I glared at him and knew he wasn't going to move so I crossed my arms waiting for him to talk.
"Where were you today?"
"Last time I checked Potter, you weren't my mother." I hissed, he was starting to piss me off with all this demanding he was doing. "Were you or were you not at The Three Broomsticks? And did you happen to see Katie Bell in the girls' loo when you were in there? And do not lie." I smirked.
"Maybe I was and maybe I wasn't. And who the hell is Katie Bell? I'm sorry I don't know all the Gryffindor idiots. Now move, Potter." I hissed as low as I could to sound threatening. I saw Draco rounding the corner and met his eyes. He glared at Potter and began walking towards us. I quickly shook my head and he got the hint to wait. I had Potter right where I wanted him. Potter's face softens and he stepped closer to me.
"Did Voldemort make you do it?" He whispered. I just stared at him like I was in shocked and that's when Draco began walking up.
"Potter! Harassing my girlfriend, huh? That's a new low for you." Draco stood beside me and wrapped his left arm around my waist. It felt good having his arms around me. I always felt so safe and so loved. The more he touched me and kissed me the more I fell harder for him. And that really scared me. And the way the word girlfriend rolled off his tongue made me really want to be his girlfriend. "I was just having a civil conversation with her, Malfoy."
"Civil? You were asking me about my whereabouts today." I growled grabbed the end of Draco's dark green sweater pulling him closer to me. Draco tighten his grip on me, "You stay away from her, understood? We have enough shit going on without you harassing her." Draco pushed me lightly up the steps and followed close.
"Malfoy, I can help you." Draco stopped and before turning around, he gave me a wink and I had to force myself not to smirk. He turned around and looked down at the ground before giving Potter the saddest look I have ever seen on Draco's face. "It's too late, Potter. Stay away from her." He whipped around and grabbed my hand pulling me down the hallway. We didn't talk till we got in the Room of Requirements. I plopped down on the table and placed my purse beside me.
"Do you think he bought it?" Draco asked while taking out his wand and pointing it at the cabinet. "He should, we did some great team work." I said jumping down and walking towards him. He lowered his wand and faced me.
"I almost have the curse perfect. It won't be long now." He whispered brushing a piece of hair behind my ear that had fallen out of my ponytail. I sighed and closed my eyes as he brushed his hand against my cheek. "It's getting more and more difficult."
"What is?" I whisper stepping closer to him. He stared at me for the longest time then took a deep breath. "To fight my feelings for you." I smiled this was the moment I have been waiting for and wishing for. I took a deep breath as he began opening his mouth to say those words I have been waiting for when I heard someone come running in.
"Hey mate… Am I interrupting something?" Blaise asked pointing to how close we were together. I sighed and took a step back. "No, you're okay Blaise." I heard Draco let out a growl and I heard Blaise whimper. Or I thought I did. I was probably just imagining it.
"What the bloody hell do you want, Blaise?" Draco snapped as I walked over to my purse picking it up looking around for my hair brush. "I did some background check on your prophecy and I found some things out."
"Did you find this stuff in the library when you were snogging my best friend? Or did you just happen across it in the hallway?" I said chuckling running my brush through my hair. Draco let out a chuckle while Blaise just glared at me. "I found it in the library. After I snogged her because she had to finish her work because I am a good boyfriend." He snapped glaring at Draco. Draco held up his hands, "Whoa why you snapping at me?" Blaise rolled his eyes and reached into his back pocket pulling out a wrinkled up paper. It was torn like Blaise had ribbed it out of a book or notebook. He walked over to me and shakily handed it over to me. I grasped it in my hands and smoothed out the wrinkles. I read over it and looked back up at him.
"Where did you get this?" I whispered leaning against the table for support. "I told you in the library. It was in a book about prophecies."
"What does it say, Alex?" Draco asked walking up and resting his hand on my shoulder. I rubbed my forehead and sighed. "Draco, this makes things a lot harder."
"Alexandra, tell me what the hell is going on?" I loved how he said my full first name. "The only way we can break this prophecy is for me to get pregnant, but it has to be out of love not lust. This means we can't just jump into bed and try to get me pregnant, and um it has other things… I need to go." I shoved the paper on his chest and grabbed my purse running out of the Room of Requirements.
"Alex! Wait!" He called after me, but I didn't stop. I didn't want a damn kid. I didn't want to finish this damn mission. I loved Draco, but it's never going to happen because of Voldemort. Voldemort was always in my head. He saw everything I saw. It would only be a matter of time before he saw how I felt about Draco. He's going to see how we kissed. And the biggest problem was that he would see that I cursed that girl when I was supposed to be not helping Draco. I wanted to run away, but that wasn't going to happen.
