THE GRYFFINDOR GIRL AND THE SLYTHERIN SEEKER
KARRY
Surprised, aren't you? The great Golden Twin sister to the noble Harry Potter, not a virgin. And if you're not surprised, you saw right through me. Smart of you.
"Surprisingly, I really want to know," Malfoy said. He actually sounded sincere. It startled me. I put my brush down and ran my fingers through my hair, and took a deep breath.
"It was last year," I confessed, not looking at Malfoy. "I had been going out with this guy named Evan Crawford. I thought," I sniffed, "he was everything I wanted. Then, when I found out I was moving here and told him, he was really upset. He was all 'you're gonna find another guy' and shit." I felt more tears coming. I choked, "I wanted to prove that it didn't matter where I went, I would love him no matter what. And that seemed to be the only way."
"And afterwards he dumped you, eh?" Malfoy finished for me. There was no drawl of taunting in his voice. It was just plainly spoken.
"A few days before that end of school," I replied, still choking. "And…and th-that's not that worst of it."
That wasn't the worst of it.
"What was?" Malfoy asked. Oh my god, did he really want to know? He seemed to actually be listening to me. I was so confused.
"I found out over the summer from one of my real friends," I said with some difficulty. "That…that about a week after I had told Evan I was moving, he had starting dating my so-called best friend." I gave a short sob. "Now you know why I didn't have a best friend earlier this year." I paused. "I was so fucking stupid."
Then came the waterfall. I didn't want to remember. And I especially didn't want anyone to see me cry. Especially Draco Malfoy….
"Talk about a bunch of assholes," I heard Malfoy say.
"Please, Malfoy," I blurted, "you've probably done shit like that all the time!"
"Actually, I haven't," Malfoy answered, looking me right in the face. "I know better than to come between two friends. Or to cheat on a girl." Then his expression became, dare I say it, light –hearted. "I may be the Slytherin Sex God of Hogwarts, but I got that title one girl at a time."
I looked up at him. Was he serious? And…was he trying to cheer me up?
"For your information, Potter-girl, my goal in life is to annoy the fucking hell out of every Gryffindor on a daily basis," he said with a smirk. "Not actually ruin someone's life."
I smirked back a bit. "Watch it, Malfoy, I think your heart is bleeding."
"Pfft. Please." He replied blankly. "What are those again?"
I rolled my still teary eyes. "Idiot." I watched as Malfoy pulled a handkerchief from his pocket.
Here, your make-up's running and stuff," he said handing it to me. I took it from him and began dabbing my face and around my eyes.
"You don't mind that I'm a 'filthy half-blood'?" I asked mockingly.
"You can keep it," he said blankly with a shrug. I looked at him in the eyes and gave him a smile. He cleared his throat. "Um, if you don't mind my asking, is that why you don't have a boyfriend yet?"
I gave an odd look. "Why the hell are you asking me that?"
"Look, don't get any ideas, alright," Malfoy said defensively. "I was just wondering-,"
"If I planned staying celibate for the rest of my life?" I finished. "You're a curious one aren't you?"
Malfoy glared at me. I couldn't help but laugh.
"The answer's no, Malfoy," I said seriously. "I don't plan on staying celibate for that long. Just until…I find the right person-,"
"The person who loves you just for you?"
I looked at him with a smile. His face twitched as if he wanted to smile back, but his pride wouldn't allow it.
"You almost make believe you understand, Malfoy," I said as I turned a way from him. I cleared my throat as well. "So, you wanna help me with this spot? I think this is one of those spots where that potion was spilt."
"What else are we here for?" Malfoy said, as he went over to get his bucket and brush. As he picked things, I felt the urge to say this:
"And, Malfoy?" I called to him. He looked up at me as I rested my cheek in my hand. He looked kind of perplexed about something. "The reason I don't have a boyfriend yet is because no one has tried to ask me out." I smirked. "I think they find me…intimidating."
