First off, I wanna say a HUGE sorry about such a late update! So please forgive me. Anyways I really hope you like this chapter and I have a feeling that you guys might. Alright enjoy reading and I will make sure to update soon.
Disclaimer: From the wizarding world of Harry Potter, I would like to thank JK Rowling for unknowing letting me used her characters and the wizarding world in which she imagined. I own nothing of her characters, but from my petty fanfiction, I do own Mia and a few minor characters I have created. The character Lindsay is not of my creation but my friend who I played countless hours of Role play with. Enjoy the Story!
Chapter 11 (edit)
I sat in the great hall early in the morning, finishing up some homework for the next day. I looked up and saw Draco sitting at the table all by himself. He stared at the potion I gave him the night before. I smiled as my thoughts filled with last night when I fell asleep on him and then when I touched his hand. I felt my stomach flutter from these memories. I looked down at my homework and filled out a few questions before looking back up. Lindsay was with him this time.
I stood up in shock. I wondered when she had come back. Draco was talking to her and finally he handed her the potion. He said something else and she looked over at me. I nodded with a weak smile. She uncapped the potion and drank it. She set down the bottle and instantly looked at Draco. She pulled him into a hug before giving him a kiss and then another hug.
I felt a pain in my chest and looked down. I stacked my books and papers before leaving the great hall. I didn't want to see that. I just did something amazing, so why did I feel so awful about it.
Later that day
"I love this welcome back party. Thank you so much for the party Draco!" Lindsay said as pulled Draco into a hug, "I am going to get some punch. Draco you want some?"
Lindsay stood up from her spot next to Draco. I sat next to the chair that was close to the couch, where Draco and Lindsay were sitting.
"Sure," Draco answered. I stood up to go with her but when I passed Draco, he pulled me to sit where Lindsay once sat.
"Stay." He spoke, not letting go of my arm at first.
"I wanted to thank you for helping me." He said, letting go of my arm. I pulled my arms closer to my body. I wanted to touch his hand again, but I had to refuse the touch.
"It's no problem. She was getting annoying talking about all the hot boys." I laughed nervously.
"I was her top pick right?" He said
"Uhm, yeah." I gave a real laugh, because it was a complete lie. I assume he realized this as well, as he smiled.
"Yeah, it was probably that Roy kid in her year. He's a real charmer with her." Draco said.
"Draco, are you jealous of him," I asked, finding it funny.
"Jealous of what. I am unquestionably better looking, and plus Lindsay will always come back to me. I am just that great." Draco said. I rolled my eyes and gave him a playful nudge. He laughed along with me. I suddenly stood up, trying to stop my urge to move closer to him.
"I have to go," I said and hurried away. As I was heading to where Lindsay was, I felt a tap on my shoulder. When I turned around, I found myself looking at the Hufflepuff guy who I fell onto when I rushed into the common room.
"Matthew?" I said bewildered.
"You remembered." He said with a wink, "Come dance with me."
"I think I shall pass." I laughed and began walking away. Abruptly I felt a tug on my arm.
"I can't take no for an answer when you look this hot." He whispered in my hear. I looked over at where Draco and Lindsay were sitting. Lindsay was snuggled up next to Draco and his arm was around her. He moved closer to her and whispered something in her ear. She let out a giggle. I felt a discomfort in my chest.
"Okay," I said with a smile biting my lip.
After dancing for a while, I told Matthew I would be back and moved my way towards the punch bowl.
"Mia! You bitch." I heard a yell behind me. Confused I turned around and standing a few feet away was Pansy.
"I'm sorry," I said. She extracted her wand from her robe pocket and pointed it at me. Unlike most wizards, I never carried around my wand. I hated magic and even more, I hated to use it. Sure I still used it for classes but other than that, I wanted no part of it. Magic had done nothing much except mess up my family.
I looked around as everyone turned to stare at us.
"I don't have time for this," I said and turned around.
"FLIPENDO!" Pansy yelled, but just as I turned around, all the air left my lungs as I was flung back. I felt my back hit something as it crumbled under me. Soon I was soaked in juice and I felt something pierce my skin. My head began to spin and when I opened my eyes, it was a blur. When trying to stand I stumbled a bit before I straightened up. My body was completely in pain, though I tried to smile it off.
"Attacking an unarmed person," I said, "I hope you can live with yourself now."
I made my way to the exit trying to ignore my throbbing body. I walked out of the room and leaned against the wall. I quickly felt an unpleasant pain in my shoulder and arm. I looked down at my arm and saw minor cuts covered my arm and hand.
Using the wall as leverage, I made my way down the hall. Trying to find a place I could sit, I began to open up doors. Opening a door, I stood completely dumbfounded. Even though I could only see long blonde hair, I knew it was Lindsay.
She was sitting on a desk, her legs around whoever she was with as he kissed her neck.
"Draco, don't leave any marks like you did last time." She giggled and pulled him back. It was Draco. I felt as though everything was gone. I think he saw me, but I wasn't too sure for I moved from the door as fast as I could. Without stopping, I quickly made my way down the hall trying to ignore the pain in my leg and the growing pain in my chest. Nausea took over my stomach and finally I stumbled to a window sill.
"Merlin." I choked as I held the tears. I replayed the scene over and over in my head.
"Hufflepuff?" I heard Draco's voice. Standing up, I turned around and saw him coming up to me; alone.
"Draco! Hi!" I managed to choke out without sound miserable.
"I heard Pansy attacked you. So now you are covered in juice? You know I had to see how ridiculous you looked." Draco said. I cracked a real smile and took my seat again. He came over and sat next to me.
"Do I look ridiculous? I feel like it right now." I laughed before looking at my arm. Draco took out his wand and put out his hand. I looked at him confused.
"Give me your arm stupid." He said, growing impatient.
"What are you going to do?" I questioned. He rolled his eyes and took a hold of my arm. I didn't fight it. It startled me on how gentle he was handling my arm.
"Episkey" Draco muttered and pointed the wand at my arm. Slowly all my minor cuts fix themselves.
"Thanks." I uttered.
"An eye for an eye," Draco said.
"I don't think that's what that means." I chuckled. Draco smiled.
"How's your leg?" He asked.
"I will probably go to the hospital wing for that ," I said, leaning back. Draco still had a hold of my arm and I didn't plan on taking it away anytime soon.
"Why didn't you pull out your wand?" Draco asked. I looked down at my lap and pulled my arm away from his.
"I don't carry mine with me," I mumbled.
"Stupid." He said. I shot a glare at him but it wasn't that effective with the smile that played on my lips. I bit my lips trying not to smile. Then I remembered the story Lindsay said about Draco turning into a ferret.
"Ferret." I laughed. He gave me that look like he was going to kill me. I stood up fast and moved away, smiling.
"The amazing bouncing Ferret!" I sang.
"Hufflepuff, you really should stop it." he said standing up.
"What are you going to do about it, Ferret," I said, making my way down the hall, backward. I turned around so my back was now towards him. This happened to be a bad idea for he grabbed me by the waist before my back hit the cold wall.
"Now what to do with you?" He smiled down at me. I looked up about to give him the puppy dog eyes when I saw something different, but it really wasn't. My heart pounded against my chest as I took one last breath in. Something about Draco made me feel weak in the knees. He was beautiful. And the way he looked at me. My eyes found themselves staring at his lips and I couldn't take my gaze away from them. His smile left his lips. Looking up, I found Draco was puzzled. He was staring down at me, but I could tell it wasn't my eyes.
His hand finds a spot on my cheek and he shifted closer. That's when I feel like my entire life just stopped. I couldn't help think about his lips on mine. The anticipation was now killing me and I found myself moving closer to him. It was almost as if the whole world was perfect now.
His lips touched mine. I opened my mouth and allowed him to wrestle with my tongue. It soon quickened, as though we couldn't get enough. His hand found his way to my lower back and he pulled me in closer. Soon he pulled away and we were both breathing heavily. I couldn't stop smiling. I never felt so happy.
He placed his thumb on my pounding lips, as though he couldn't believe they were mine. He finally looked at me before back down at my lips. When his thumb left my lips, he placed his lips there. I closed my eyes and moved closer if there was anything closer.
Then I got the image of Lindsay and him. Remembering caused me to pull away.
"Shit," I mumbled. I pushed him away from me as I put my hand over my mouth. I suddenly felt unwell.
"Mia?" He said, moving towards me. I shook my head and turned away. I tried to fight the tears.
"What did I just do?" I said bewildered. The kiss was so good and I wanted more. So much more-NO what are you thinking. He has a girlfriend. Your best friend!
"Mia!" Draco turned me towards him.
"You just kissed me. You have a girlfriend." I freaked out.
"Did you forget to add that you kissed me as well and I think we both realize that it shouldn't have happened?" Draco started but if he had more to say, I wouldn't let him.
"Well, it happened!" I freaked out, moving away from him. "I mean it was great, amazing, and-NO! You have a girlfriend, and to make is worst it's my best friend. I have to go."
"Mia!" Draco said taking a hold of my arm. He pushed me against the cold wall. I don't move. I could move if I wanted, but I didn't. He came up to me and smashed his lips on mine. I gave in to the sensation and grabbed his shirt pulling him closer to me. His hands stayed on the wall on either side of me. I opened my mouth and allow him to taste my tongue. As I found myself once more out of breath, he moved along my jawline until he came to my ear and stopped. I felt his hot breath on my neck.
"What are you doing to me?" He murmured. I let go of his shirt and dropped my hand to my side.
"I was going to ask the same thing," I mumbled. I began to feel so many feelings; I didn't know which was which. It was like I wanted to yell at Draco for having a girlfriend and kissing me, but then again I also wanted to push him against me and do a lot of naughty things. I hated myself for kissing my best friend's boyfriend, but I also felt as though I could ride a broom and win a Quidditch game. I was the type of person that hated heights and couldn't stand anything competitive.
"I have to go." I choked as I felt tears run from my face. I shoved Draco away and ran. I ran towards the Hufflepuff common room. I knocked the rhythm on the barrel and it opened. Walking in, I let more tears fall and lean against the wall next to the door.
"Excusez-moi." Someone said. I looked up and through my blurry eyes, I saw a girl with white hair coming towards me.
"I'm fine," I mumbled pushing myself from the wall. I began to walk down the hall but the girl went in front of me.
"You're not fine." She stood in front of me. I finally broke and hugged her, crying into her shirt. I felt as though everything was falling apart. What happened if Lindsay found out what I did? Or even my mother? She told me to stay away from him and I didn't listen. Nothing good ever comes from when I don't listen. I think what was crushing me the most is that I loved it. I craved it right now, but I can't. I won't ever be able to feel it again. I made a promise to Lindsay and now I broke it. I can't ever see him again for if I do, I might happen again.
"Shh. Tell me what's the matter?" She said and pulled away. She helped me to our room and sat me down in my bed. Not knowing where to start, I told her about my mother. No lies, just the full truth. I began to shake in fear. She took my hand, helping me to calm down. Then I told her about the kiss. No names just that I kissed someone who already had a girlfriend. I came to the conclusion that Draco and I have been acting on lust. Yes, I am attracted to him, but I can't admit it. I will never be able to admit that I like Draco.
The white haired girl listened to everything. After I had finished talking, we sat in silence. My tears long gone.
"Thank you," I said. I ended up lying on the couch drifting off to sleep.
"Je vous en prie." She said as a warm blanket covered my body. I didn't even understand what she said, but I think it was a you're welcome.
"What's your name?" I mumbled snuggling up to the blanket.
"Call me Snowflake." She said as the room went dark and soon after I heard a tune on a guitar. I passed right out.
I began to open my eyes to a dark room. Sitting up, I looked around. The common room was empty of people. If I didn't know where I was, I probably would freak out with all the vines hanging from the ceiling. It made it look really creepy. Not wanting to sleep anymore, I sat up and placed my feet on the floor. Standing up, my feet dragged me to the fifth-year girls' dormitory. I opened the door silently and slipped in. As my eyes adjusted to the room's light, I tip-toed over to my bed and grabbed my bag. Opening my bag, I started looking for a book. It wasn't just any book; it was a book from my childhood when I had friends and a loving family. The book that my brother read me the last night I ever saw him.
When I couldn't find Beauty and the Beast, I felt my heart race. I needed to find that book. Then I began to remember I must have left it behind by the black lake when Draco told me next class was starting. Standing up, I slipped on my robe that was placed draped over my trunk. Slipping out of the room, I hurried through the common room and out the door. I began to make my way through the castle. There had to be a spot where I could go outside without being caught. Looking down the hall, I found it safe to proceed down. After a few steps, I heard a soft meow from behind me. I slowly turned around and saw a cat sitting down. Knowing who's cat that was, I entered the closest classroom.
"Shit." I mumbled before turning around.
"Great," Draco mumbled. I saw Draco standing by the window looking towards me.
"There's going to be a bigger problem if Flinch finds us." I hissed looking around for a place to hide. Draco walked over to me and grabbed my hand. I tried to pull away from him, but he wouldn't budge. He just pulled me to a cabinet and opened the door. He forced me in and began to close the door.
"What about you?" I uttered. I stopped him from closing the door.
"We're going to get caught." He said.
"Just get in. I won't let you get in trouble." I said.
"There won't be enough room." Draco hissed.
"Yes, there will be! Now get in." I said taking a hold of Draco's wrist and pulling him in. I shoved myself to the back while Draco took my space. Not wanting to touch him, I leaned as far back as I could, but there was something poking my back. Feeling uncomfortable with it, I tried to move so it was out of the way but when I did, I just kept making more noise. Finally, Draco put his arms around me and pulled me close to him.
"What are you doing Draco?" I shrieked quietly. Draco put his hands over my mouth and just as he opened his mouth to say something, the door opened to the room. I felt my heart beat fast. I thought for sure we would be caught because of it but within a few minutes, the door opened and closed again.
"It should be clear," Draco said looking back down at me. I looked up at him. His hand still over my mouth. He slowly removed his hand, running his fingers slowly across my lips. Neither of us made a move to leave.
"It also could be a trick," I whispered, wanting to say this close to Draco. I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time; safety. I couldn't help, but put my head on his chest. I listened to his heart beat and I think it was going just as fast as mine. I don't know how long we stayed like that but soon Draco, put his hand on my face gently and made me look at him.
I shook my head and mumbled, "I can't do this. I can't do this to her."
I shifted past Draco in the small space and left the cabinet.
"Hufflepuff, we need to talk about what happened earlier." Draco said. He must be following me.
"What's there to talk about?" I whispered, heading towards the door. Just as I was passing the last desk, I felt Draco take my hand and pull me back. I felt one hand trapped against the desk and soon the other one was.
"Don't say that, Mia," He paused, "it's funny because I was nervous. Nervous!" He chuckled letting go of my arms. I didn't dare make a move towards the door. He ran his figures through his hair restlessly. When I saw him slowly turn away, I immediately made my move, but he caught my arm just in time, pinning me against the desk again. This time he moved closer to me.
"I was nervous that you would think I was terrible or maybe doing it wrong. I have never been nervous about if I satisfied a girl before." Draco said.
"Well I can assure you, it wasn't terrible. It was wonderful and I loved it. If I could I would kiss you again, right now, I-" but I was interrupted by Draco's lips on mine. I tried to move my hands out of his, but he held them tightly and brought them closer to our body. I felt my legs go numb as I shifted all my weight on the desk. Draco let me slip my hand away from his as I wrapped my arms around his neck. His hand went to my farthest part of my leg he could reach and he ran his fingers up. I nearly let out a yelp when I felt his fingers at the rim of my PJ shorts, but I did open my mouth, which allowed his entrance. It looked like that was exactly what he wanted to happen. His hands wandered past my PJ shorts to my back, where he pulled me closer but also pushed me again the desk more.
Suddenly I remembered what was going on and why I shouldn't be doing this. I pulled my arms away and just as I backed away from Draco's lips, I pushed him away. I turned and kept my distance away from him.
"You're dating my best friend. What about Lindsay? What about your Girlfriend, Draco. Don't you love her?" I wanted to shout. I was done crying and feeling ashamed of myself. Yes, I wanted Draco's lips on mine, and yes I wanted to be held in his arms, but is it really love or is it just lust?
"I do love her and I always will. However, what I have with you is different!" Draco said. Draco finally grabbed a hold of me and made me look at him
"I think what your feeling is lust. I think we shouldn't talk anymore. I am loyal to my friends, even though right now it's completely shattered. When you lose whatever feeling you have for me and love Lindsay completely again, then we can talk again. But if not, then never talk to me again." I told Draco. I pulled away from Draco, but he didn't even try to stop me. I walked towards the door wanting him to stop me. Wanting him to kiss me like he had and tell me that everything will work out. But then again I couldn't stand the thought of him doing that. I needed to think about Lindsay here. She has been my best friend and I don't want to destroy that.
Just as I put my hand on the door knob, Draco said. "It's days when you talk about loyalty and friendship I see the Hufflepuff in you. Otherwise, you probably should have been a Slytherin."
"I don't want to be a Slytherin," I mumbled opening the door. "Unlike Slytherins, who take their determination and ambition, and destroy everything in their path, I would rather have people who suffer take the chance to win. They deserve it more than anyone."
I left into the cool hallway, leaving Draco in the empty room. I took a deep breath and told myself everything would be alright. I just had to confront Lindsay about what happened. She is going to really hate me.
Draco sat down in one of the chairs near the table. He let out a sigh before pulling out a book from his robes. It was the book Mia kept with her no matter what. He often saw it in her book bag or her robes pocket. Draco had read it several times today to find what was great about this book yet, it seemed so mugglish. How odd.
