Her Revelation and My Revelation
As soon as the class ended I got up, leaving Malfoy's notes on the table without returning them, and went out into the hallway to see Ophelia. She gave me a once over and then gave me a small hug.
"How did it go?" She asked me as we began walking up towards our next class... Charms.
"I fainted." I sighed.
"Again? Is this a new thing for you?" She asked just like Leonardo.
"No... It's just my head letting me know I have to take a chill pill." I sighed again and we started up the stair case. I saw Ophelia nod out of the corner of my eye and as we walked into another hallway I saw Ruby and Portia walking towards us with their Charm books in their hands. When they saw me they both smiled cautiously and I smiled back.
"So, how was it?" Portia asked slowly.
"Eh... how much worse could it get other than me saying that I thought he was guilty? And then fainting directly afterward?" I asked her and she grimaced.
"So it was as good as a hearing could get?" Ruby said and we all cracked up before going into Charms class.
"I got your letters by the way... That was totally pointless." I said to Ophelia and she smiled sheepishly.
"Every bloody time I got up to do something else they would come in and write something!" She said to me and I laughed. I pulled the creepy stalker note out of my robe pocket and unfolded it.
"I also got this, this morning." I said and handed it to Ophelia. Who's eyebrows pulled together then she handed it to Ruby, who did the same. Then to Portia who was mouthing all the words and when she got to the end she let out a gasp then handed it back to me.
"Who would do that?" She asked me.
"Filch maybe." Ophelia mused and I made a gagging noise.
"Please! Don't say that. I just threw up a little bit." I said to her.
"It was a joke... but you should show that to Dumbledor... I wouldn't be showing that love note off to the world..." She said to me again.
"Maybe... I don't know. Maybe it's just a joke. I mean come on. You're beautiful. And I'm watching you? Doesn't sound like a serious note, does it?" I said to her and she shrugged.
"I just don't want you to get raped and have an unwanted pregnancy." Ophelia said and shot Portia a glance. She was getting gigantic now... Only two more months. We both snickered to ourselves, and by that time Flitwick had come into the room and had told us to open our books. That made our conversation about my creepy stalker note end effectively.

The rest of the day went by slowly...
As did the rest of the week.....
And eventually the term blended seamlessly into January.... and that went by slowly as well.
Even though the Tri Wizard tournament was going on it seemed like the school year could not be slower. Not if it tried.
But I did not dwell on that fact. I tried to focus on more important things... No! Not school work! I was thinking more about figuring out what the Hell was going on with Malfoy, and goofing off with my friends... but I guess school work would look better, wouldn't it?
Outside it was very cold for the middle of January but that didn't stop us from walking around the grounds.
Today was no exception, and since the snow had just settled after a huge blizzard, there was at least a foot of it outside. Portia was no basically a walking... well a walking pregnant woman. And people were beginning to talk, but we all just ignored it. We were growing to be quite good at ignoring things now as it turned out.
We had woken up early and had all gotten into our winter cloaks and run outside. Except for Portia who walked behind us screaming the whole way.
"Wait up! I don't want my child to have shaken baby syndrome! WAIT!" She shrieked at us as we dashed through the snow that came up to our calves. Finally we made it down to our rock which was also snow covered. The ice was totally frozen on the lake and so was the Durmstrang boat in the middle. A lump raised in my throat as I thought about Cedric and Harry competing in the next task. The first one was hard enough with a freaking dragon to steal an egg from. Merlin only knew what the next one would be...
"Brook? You okay?" Ruby's voice asked me. I turned and saw that she had pulled off her hood just like I had to let the sharp cold wind cool off my face from running. I took a deep breath then smirked at her and pulled my hood over my head so far that it covered my eyes.
"Of course. Now let us make good mischief!" I said to her in a thick voice that sounded like a vampire. She cracked up and by that time Portia had joined us on the rock but we had already started up the hill back to the castle.
"THIS IS NOT COOL! I'M GOING TO BLOODY SKIN YOU ALIVE! COME BACK HERE!" Portia screamed at us.
"I don't think that's good for the baby either Porsche!" I yelled back to her. She didn't scream anymore after that.
When we got into the entrance hall we all skidded to a halt, but ended up sliding from the water on our feet and falling into a pile on the floor. Laughing our butts off as we tried to get up but kept slipping on the snow water. Then Portia was there, glaring down at us as we just gave up and laid down on the floor in the puddle. Students passed by us and we ignored them.
"I am not a happy pregnant woman." She stated angrily.
"I can tell." I snickered and me Ruby and Ophelia cracked up.
"This is not a laughing matter." Portia said again, all serious like.
"So says the one who was left behind." Ophelia stated and we all laughed again.
"I'm serious." Portia said and we finally got the hint that she wasn't kidding.
"What's wrong?" I asked her slowly as I tried to stand up without slipping. I managed after a wobbly start, but by that time Portia was walking up the marble staircase as fast as she could go for a pregnant girl.
"Here we go..." I muttered under my breath and tried to walk out of the danger zone of the puddle. After a few more moments I finally got out of the area and tried to follow Portia with my friends behind me. As we rounded a corner I saw that leaned up against the far wall was Draco snogging the virtue out of Pansy... again. For a brief second I forgot about Portia's state.
"Look what the slithered into this corner of the castle!" I called out as I started walking towards them. Startled, they pulled apart, and immediately I saw the sneer in Malfoy's eyes as well as the grimace on Pansy's.
"I would leave if I were you Cunningham." Malfoy spat at me. I paused for a second and looked at him with a roll of my eyes.
"Well it's a good thing that you are not me, because I would never do such a thing. Not when I have a prime opportunity to make your life worse." I spat back at him. His sneer grew more pronounced. And for two seconds it was silent, then suddenly I heard someone yell something.
"Protego!" I screamed instantly. There was no freaking way I was going to faint this time. I saw a red spell bounce back at Draco and Pansy from my shield.
"What? To afraid to fight your old girlfriend Malfoy?" I called to him as he straightened himself out again and glared at me.
"Not in the slightest." He said to me evenly.
"Stupefy!" He yelled at me and I rolled out of the way of that one. Ophelia and Ruby both had their wands drawn with me.
"On three." I said to them, I didn't know if they heard me or not, but I hoped they had.
"One, two, three." I said this all very quickly, then we all yelled in unison.
"Rictusempra!"
"Stupefy!"
"Expelliarmus!"
We all yelled our different spells, hoping that one would hit at least one of them. But Malfoy was faster than the spells.
"Protego!" He yelled, forcing us to dive for cover from the rebounding spells. When I stood up again and readied myself to yell a spell at them I heard a voice call out.
"STOP!" I cringed thinking it was a teacher, but I was surprised when Pansy stepped forward and looked a little defeated at me.
"What do you want?" I asked her with a little anger coloring my voice. She held up her hands to show there was no wand in them.
"Put down your wand." She said to me in a soft voice.
"Why? So you're snogging buddy can curse my ass? I don't think so. And since when did you become the peace bearer?" I asked her tensely.
"Since I can see that he loves you." She told me and I felt my body go into shock.
"You're lying." I managed to say but she shook her head. "Don't lie to me! I know you are lying! Fight back!" I yelled at her even more angry.
"No. I know it won't make a difference. I'm trying to win a war that has already taken place." She said to me and to stood there a little dazed, but still tense. My eyes flickered to Malfoy's who's were still pale and angry, but also soft and confusing.
"I don't.... I don't know what you're trying to tell me." I said finally as I lowered my wand.
"Merlin! I thought you were a bright girl!" Pansy said to me and I rolled my eyes. "Don't you get it yet?" She asked me and I didn't say anything. Just shifted awkwardly on my feet and looked at Ophelia and Ruby who looked just as bloody confused as I was.
"I'm giving up. He loves you. Get over yourself and realize that you don't have anything without him!" Pansy said to me gesturing at Malfoy behind her, who now looked shocked and embarrassed as if she was telling the truth.
This was a lie. They were pulling a sick joke one me. He wasn't embarrassed because that was the truth. It was all a show.
"You don't know what you are talking about! Fight for him like I know you want to! You want him! I know you do!" I screamed at her raising my wand again in straight line at her.
"No. I don't want to go through this anymore. Haven't you seen how he looks at you in the hallway? Or at dinner? Or in class for Merlin's sake? Are you that oblivious?" She asked me, now she was getting angry.
"I don't pay attention to the things that don't matter to me anymore." I said to her again.
"Now you are the one lying. Don't deny the facts. You still love him. Look me in the eye and tell me that you do not have a cold empty spot where you want Draco to be." She said to me. I looked her in the eye and opened my mouth to say something, but couldn't get the words out.
"I told you. And you! Shame on you for not realizing that you still love her sooner! I have been leading you on for weeks just so you would get it into your pretty little head that you don't love me, you love her. Now go tell her I'm right." Pansy said to Malfoy who was looking as stunned as I was.
"If you aren't obsessed with me then who—" He began.
"I'm sorry Draco, but things just won't work out between us. I think that we both know that I am clearly not the one for you." Pansy said slowly and then started walking away from him. As she passed me she tapped me on the arm and I looked at her, still in a fog.
"Please know that I have always thought the best of you. I can see now that you two are perfect for each other, and I will not get in the way of that." She said to me in a calm voice with a smile on her lips. I couldn't help have my mouth hang open like a fish as I watched her walk away.
"Uh... We're going to find Portia." Ophelia said, then turned quickly and ran out of the corridor with Ruby. Leaving me and my ex boyfriend alone in the hallway... After... that ordeal.
"So..." He began and looked I at his silver eyes.
"Yes?" I asked quickly. It grew silent again and I finally took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry if you just lost Pansy and still want her. I know that I can't give you what you want... And I'm okay with that. I think that it's best if we just pretend nothing happened and then we can go on and—" he cut me off.
"I cannot take it any longer!" He said out loud and took a few steps towards me. Closing the distance between us quickly and all at once I was in his strong arms again with his lips on mine.
Moving in synchronization. It seemed that we couldn't get close enough to each other fast enough. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he hoisted me up and pinned me against the wall. My hands reached down and pulled off his shirt then threw it to the floor where it landed in a heap. We pulled apart and he planted soft butterfly kisses on my face and neck and I stroked the strong muscles of his shoulders and arms, then my hands went up to his soft platinum hair. He opened his eyes and looked straight at me with his silver ones.
"I love you." He said in a husky tone. I sighed and brought my mouth to his again then whispered against his lips.
"I know." I replied, and we continued to kiss there in the hallway in each other's arms. Sure in the fact that the world could not touch us. And it couldn't.
I woke up with a start and sat up in my bed with a cold sweat on me. I looked around, everyone else was sleeping still and when I looked out the window next to my bed I saw that it was still snowing outside.
A dream... it had only been a dream. But it had seemed so real! Even I had believed that Pansy had totally gone mental for a second! Well... I mean more mental than usual I guess.
As I looked out the window again at the falling snow I realized something. I still loved Draco Malfoy with all my heart. And it was right then that I also realized that I would do anything to try and win him back. Even if it meant going against what everyone else thought.
I flopped back down onto my bed and closed my eyes hoping I would fall back into the same dream.
"Merlin... Here we go again." I muttered to myself before I was swallowed up by my dreams.
How peculiar... Pansy would never do that but i bet i had you guys going for a second, didn't I? lol =P okay... ummm please remember my deal... if you skipped the top rant, here it is: If i get 15 reviews from you guys, i will post a VERY SPECIAL Draco's P.O.V. chapter of this story... and you'll get a look into his head... tempting, right? hahaha! okay... umm I'll let you go so you can think about wheter or not to click that little button below us...
