Chapter 12
Everything Crashes Down.
Since the Duelling Club Draco has been acting a little weird around me. Like, not She Cat weird, if you know what I mean, but…weird enough to be noticeable.
There were two more attacks since then. A double attack. Nearly Headless Nick and Justin Finch Fletchley were found a week after Duelling Club. And Harry was accused of being Slytherin's Heir, since he was found with them both!
Ivy and I were still not to kind to each other. I failed to see why. It wasn't my fault I couldn't understand Harry when he tried to calm down that snake.
Two weeks after Duelling Club, I found out why he was acting so odd. We were in the common room when Draco tried to ask me a question.
"Hey, Han." Draco said, leaning over my shoulder as I read Hogwarts: A History again on the couch "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, Dray." I said turning to face him "Have a seat. What's up?" I added as I motioned for Draco to sit on the couch with me.
"Um…ok." Draco said, sitting next to me "I was wondering if you wanted to go-"
At that moment, Pansy ran into the common room, beaming from ear to ear.
"Hi, Draco!" she squeaked cheerfully, jumping onto the couch and knocking me off it.
"PANSY!" I yelled "Draco was about to ask me something!"
"Whatever, Han, his question can wait until later." Pansy said, waving me off. "So…anyways, Draco…Dray," Pansy started.
I glared at her as she said his nickname. I was the only one who called Draco "Dray"!
"I heard from someone that you liked me and wanted to ask me out."
Draco looked at Pansy dumbfounded "I-I-I want to go out with y-y-you?"
Pansy beamed and hugged Draco around the middle "Oh, I'm so glad to hear you say that! And, yes, I'll go out with you!"
My heart dropped into my stomach. Pansy knew I liked Draco. Why was she asking him out in front of me? That traitor!
Draco looked shocked. Just as I was. He was just about to say something when Pansy crashed her lips down onto his!
I almost felt my heart shatter as she kissed him, and he began to kiss her back. Life was so unfair. I wanted to kill Pansy!
"Pansy, a word…now!" I said, trying to control a wave of tears that were stinging my eyes. I grabbed her tie and dragged her up to the dorms.
"What the hell!" I shouted, rage taking over pure grief "Why did you do that?"
"Do what?" Pansy asked, her eyebrows raised in confusion.
"Ask Draco out, you idiot!" I almost shouted, shaking her a little "You know I like him, and you asked him out in front of me! I thought you were one of my best friends! This was a complete violation of my trust!"
"Hannah…" Pansy started.
"No, don't start." I snapped, letting go of her and throwing myself onto my bed, face down. "You know I like him, and you knew we kissed, and I liked it! How can you do this to me!" I said, almost crying at this point.
"Han…I'm-"
"No, your not!" I accused angrily, my voice thick with tears "You aren't sorry. I saw the look on your face as you kissed him, and the smirk you had when he started to kiss back! You wanted me to see it! You wanted my heart to shatter, see me see you kiss the boy I fancy!"
I let Pansy stammer out so many apologies I lost count after five minutes. I ignored her, she betrayed my trust, broke my heart (well, that was Draco, but then again, she asked him out.), and totally went behind my back. I felt a fireball threatening to come out, so I shot out of my bed and went into the bathroom to take a shower to cool off.
I sang as I washed my troubles away, ignoring Pansy's incessant pounding on the door, pleading with me to open up and let her explain. I switched songs from Teardrops on My Guitar by Taylor Swift, and moved on to I'm Not That Girl from the Musical Wicked.
As I shut the shower off and wrapped my towel around myself, I lost that feeling of miserable shock, but I was still numb from it. I was now more furious at Pansy than I could ever imagine. I had even more loathing for Pansy at that moment than I did for Drosie. And trust me…that's saying a lot!
I ignored her further as I discreetly slipped on underwear, a pair of Aeropostale track pants and a matching Aero t-shirt. Both Slytherin green.
Pansy started to wildly explain as I dried and styled my hair with my wand, secretly thanking Monique for giving me something to do to keep my thoughts away from setting Pansy on fire with one of my fireballs.
"…and she asked me a favour and I said 'Sure, what?' and she asked me to ask Draco out, and I still kind of liked him, so I jumped at the chance, and I wasn't thinking about you at the time, I was only thinking about how great it would be to be on Draco's arm! So I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, so, soo sorry!" Pansy said, further trying to explain her actions.
I looked at her and spoke to her for the first time since I yelled at her "What?"
"She asked me to ask Draco out and-"
I grabbed her by the cloak and pulled her into my face.
"Who?" I demanded, glaring her in the eyes.
Pansy's own widened in shock and she finally fell silent.
"Who, Pansy, who asked you!"
