Drabble Twenty One

A Brief Encounter

Walking into the great hall like every other day can change in a blink of an eye. I wasn't even paying attention to my surroundings until it suddenly went quite quiet. It occurred to me then, they know what I am here to do. They know my secret. Alarmed I looked up to see her, Katie Bell, staring at me, Potter was next to her. He knew I was sure of it; I was also sure he just told Katie. I walked out and before I knew it I was running. Running to the bathroom. The look she gave me was heart breaking. It wasn't even my fault. I had to do it; no one will ever understand his power, the power he holds over me.

I ran straight to the sink, any moment now I was going to spew. I stood over it trying to steady my breathing, and then I caught a glimpse of it, the face of a traitor. I looked up to face him. My dark blue eyes stared back at me. It might have just have been my imagination but I could have sworn they looked happy, content, and enjoying the pain ripping at my heart. Then they change in a second, big clear tears fell from them making slight tapping noises against the sink. My sobs grew louder; so loud I didn't hear the footsteps entering the cold, emotionless bathroom.

"Malfoy?" the familiar voice broke through my tears my breath caught in my throat and I turned quickly to face him, to my disgust I matched the voice correctly, Potter.

"Were you crying?" he asked a slight smile itching at the corners of his mouth. Anger boiled in my body.

"None of your business," I spat. I started to leave but he blocked my path. Can't he just leave me alone!

"I want to help you," Harry said softly. I was caught off guard. I looked up into his eyes, they were green, green like the ocean against rocks that taunts you to jump into. Suddenly I was lost in him, everything around me seemed to make sense. His hand wrapped slowly around me, well at least I think he was going slowly, either that or time had slowed down for this crucial moment in time. My arms snaked around his body and he pulled me closer holding me tightly.

But then a crack and footsteps filled the bathroom. Harry sighed and stepped back, he placed his finger under my chin and pulled my face up to look at his.

"I am here for you," he said softly and then he was gone, guess time hadn't slowed down after all. I turned around and looked into the mirror again a smiled etched across my face just as the secret person behind the footsteps entered the room his cloak twisting around the doorframe.

"Hello, Professor Snape."

This was made for my friend Simon. We recently went to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and the scene where Draco is in the bathroom crying made him wish Harry would hug him because he is a big Slash fan. So I hope you like it Simon.
