Chapter 14 :)
They walked back towards the Slytherin table, hand in hand and giggling softly.
"Whoa." Pansy said her face a perfect example of surprise.
"He works fast..." Blaise gasped his face a mirror of Pansy's.
"Hey guys" Hannah smiled at the gaping faces of her new friends and then laughed as she slid into the seat between Draco and Daphne. Daphne, who was medium height, but not the skinniest of girls, had a grimace set in stone on her face and it did not disappear when Hannah squeezed between her and Draco. In fact, if possible the frown strewn across her face increased in size. She stood up quickly. Too quickly. The pumpkin juice in front off her fell over and the liquid gushed out landing in Hannah's lap. Hannah and Draco gasped as the cold liquid drenched them both and Daphne ran out of the hall.
"What the hell just happened?" asked Goyle sitting in Daphne's now vacated seat, clutching a half eaten cheese pie in his hands. Draco cast a cleaning spell and got rid of the pumpkin juice but the stench still clung to them.
"I don't know...," Hannah mumbled, "Maybe we should go after her..." she said a worried expression plastered on her face. She got up, off Draco's lap (she had made her way onto it), and headed towards the giant golden doors. She pushed one open and poked her head out.
"Daphne?," she said into thin air, "Where are you, Daph?" Slipping out of the crack between the doors she fumbled for her wand...just in case. She walked down the corridor, each door she past opening them and peering inside the dark empty classrooms. She finally reached the last classroom, at the end of the corridor. She took hold of the door handle and gently eased it downwards pushing her way into the room.
"Hello?," she whispered, her voice getting lost in the dark. There was a sudden sharp pain inside her stomach and she wrapped her arm around it keeling over, "Fuck." she mumbled, but as quick as the pain arrived it disappeared. Confused, but more worried about Daphne she stepped into the dark room. She could hear a soft sound floating upon the air, it was a sobbing cut off sound, reluctant, "Daphne?"
"What do you want?" a voice came up out of the dark and made its way across the room. Hannah stretched her arm out and switched the lights on. Daphne sat in the corner of the room, her knees pulled up to her chest and her hand buried between them. Her back was moving up and down every now and then. Her breaths fast and uneven.
"Oh Daphne," Hannah sighed and made her way towards her. She wrapped her arm around the crying girl and patted her lightly on the back, "What's up Daph?"
"I— I'm just so tired... tired of trying... and failing... miserably..." she gasped out between loud sobs.
"Tired of trying what?" Hannah asked quietly whilst Daphne wiped the tears out of her eyes, a bloody red colour leaking across them.
"Trying – trying to – to get Draco to like me," escaped out of Daphne's mouth as she let out an almighty sod at the end. It took a while for her to calm down again before she said, "I have been in love with him ever since I met him... and every time I got close to him – and think that he might somehow like me – he goes out with some else – first it was Pansy, then – then it was Millicent, then Pansy again and then – then it was – it was – my own sister, As – Astoria and now – now it's you. I just can't take it anymore" she explained sobbing loudly into Hannah's shoulder. The sharp pain crept back across Hannah's stomach and wrapped her other arm around it. The pain was so much it made her feel like keeling over. She patted Daphne on the back, but she was speechless, she didn't know what to say.
"I'm so sorry –" She started to say before the other girl interrupted her.
"Sorry? What have you got to be sorry about? It's not like you have any power over who he likes." she said shaking her head.
"Yes. But if I knew... if there was someway I could have helped...then maybe.."
"Maybe what? You couldn't do anything! He loves you! Not me! And nothing is going to change that!" She was getting hysterical now. She suddenly jumped to her feet and made her way across the room.
"Daphne! WAIT!" Hannah shouted getting up quickly then bent over as pain shot through her stomach again.
"Wait for what? I've waited too long already." She whispered and then she ran out of the room sobs echoing behind her. Hannah rested her hand on the desk next to her and clutched at her stomach. The pain was causing her to feel faint. Her world was going fuzzy. She saw a figure standing at the door.
"HANNAH!" she heard someone call and the figure ran towards her, before her eyes closed and she fell to the floor like a limp rag doll.
