Daphne was patrolling the halls for perfect rounds when she heard it. Moaning Myrtle was fussing over something in her bathroom and she could vaguley hear a male voice that she recognized behind it. Draco. Letting herself into the bathroom and prepared to comfort him Astoria made her way over to the boy.
Who was pacing. Muttering to himself and seeming to lose an argument with himself. "Draco-" Astoria began reaching her hand out for him subconciously. "Merlin, you ever go away? Do you ever leave me alone? Have you thought to yourself for just one second that my world dose not revolve around you? That I have bigger things to do than be with you? Do you know what I'm in for when I return home over holiday?Well,do you? Do you know that I'll be expected to sit in on those conversations? To participate? You know I'm not sure if I even can! But if I don't who dose he go after and-"
Seeming to compose himself Draco froze for a long moment his gray eyes meeting her blue ones. "I never said you were only thinking of me-" Astoria began for some odd reason beginning to feel desprate as she glanced from him to Myrtle.
"Could you get out of here you stupid ghost!" Astoria erupted,glaring at MYrtle who's large eyes went wide behind her glasses before she let out a loud sob and disappeared into one of the toilets. "-Don't yell at her-" Draco hissed back seeming to just want a fight.
"She's a fucking ghost,you want her instead of me? What happened to I was the only one who you could stand around this place? Huh,what the fuck happened to that?" Astoria demanded getting into Draco's face. He grabbed her by the upper arms roughly and she felt her eyes widen as he moved his hand up,over her face.
Astoria felt her eyes widen and her head fall to the side as she flinched away from the blonde boys open palm. Astoria had been struck before in her life. By her mother when she misbehaved as a child. By her father for speaking out of turn.
Most pureblood children were on the edge of corprul punishment. Suddenly Draco let his hand drop moving back to the sink,clutching the sides. Astoria moved back shakily. "-I'm just stressed ok,Stori-" She looked down not meeting his gaze thru the mirror. The fact that he had called her Stori was not lost on her. He had obviously picked it up from the others around her.
Suddenly Draco turned to her the dangerous look still in his eyes as he grabbed her by the hips suddenly. "-Wait-" Astoria protested,still furious at him. He had called her unimportant a fool,made an idiot of her. "What are you afraid of?" Astoria asked quietly as she loosened his grip.
"Dying...him,killing my family,being a coward,or-" He trailed off than as Astoria looked up at Draco. "-You don't have to say any more." Astoria promised. She knew too much. She wished she could unknow things. Suddenly she felt Draco's lips on hers.
Staggering back for a moment, she felt her eyes widen at this turn of events before leaning in to the kiss and throwing her arms around the lanky blondes neck without a second thought.
