~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco stormed into the manor and slammed his door shut. This had to be the worst day of his life. . ., well maybe it was in the top three, as Grad and the day after had been pure hell for him. But this was beside the point. He had been kind of happy when he had received that letter for the interview, something that he never felt. But when he had got there, this was totally shattered.
Hermione seemed to be everywhere he looked lately. He was always seeing her or something that reminded him of her or he kept coming across pictures of the 6 of them. They had ruled Hogwarts that final year, and there wasn't a single person who didn't talk about them still. They had created a legacy and it was longer lasting then the Golden Trio's had been.
Though, they were still known on some bad terms as well. They were that ones that had broke the Trio after all. However, nobody knew what had happened between the six. As far as they knew, it had been a fight, like it had been with the G.T. A fight that had broken yet another famous group and chances were that there would never be another like it.
Draco had enjoyed that year more then anything. That first dance, that first kiss, having a solid foundation of friends that they thought nothing could break, that first date, the first detention that the six had to serve together. Everyone knew that they were inseparable and yet, here they were, split up.
The guys had amazingly taken the split a lot harder than the girls had. They had had much more time to prepare for was to happen; yet they all crumbled on the inside when they told the girls that it was over. They all turned cold and seemingly heartless, but they all still had that small piece of them that regretted the decision every moment that passed them.
Draco truly wanted to hate her. Wanted to know that what they had was just a small mess up in his life. A small trip over a bump in his path. But no matter how hard he tried to tell himself this, he just could never come to believe it.
It had killed him to see her. To see that she, too, had gone cold. But he couldn't admit to himself that he still loved her. He desperately wanted to hate her and the other girls. But he couldn't. He just couldn't get over it.
They had helped him immensely over the seventh year. Had really been there when he needed to talk. The other guys missed that to. They had all sworn that they cared for no one on this earth. What a lie that had been. Yet, it couldn't be undone now. They had two choices, ride this out till Voldemort died or tell him that they were leaving, and get killed.
And, to be totally honest, Draco was about ready to opt for the latter of the two. He didn't want to do this anymore. He had been apart of more raids than many who had been on the Dark Lords side for 15 years. He, Blaise and Justin were the three most trusted Death Eaters, even more trusted then Lucius. They had found it quite ironic to, that the three most trusted, should be the least trusted of them all.
Draco tried every way possible to get Hermione off his mind. But the harder he tried, the more she seemed to surface.
"Dammit" Draco shouted kicking his bed frame.
"That wasn't very nice Malfoy" Justin chastised.
"What the hell do you two want this time?" Draco growled at them.
Blaise and Justin made they're way over to the bed and sat down.
"I don't recall inviting you in to sit" Draco said sitting down in the armchair beside the window.
"You didn't, we didn't ask either" Blaise told him
"You didn't answer my question. What the hell do you want?" Draco put a small pause in between each word to emphasize that he was in a bad mood and that he wanted them gone fast.
"Now is that a way to treat your best friends?" Draco snorted.
"Best friends.that's a good one. If memory serves, we care for no one and having best friend involves caring for another person" he snarled.
Blaise just raised an eyebrow and Justin had a small smirk on his face. They all knew that this was just for show, as they never knew who was listening or watching somehow.
"Now answer me, what the hell do you want?"
"To know if you got the job," Justin sneered at him. "But now I'm not sure if I really care or not"
"Hell yeah I got it, I just have to wait for the owl telling me I did. It could take awhile though, the interviewer doesn't really want to admit that I'm the best for the job"
"And you didn't just threaten because." Blaise inquired.
"Since when has Granger ever bowed down because of a threat?"
Justin burst into laughter. "Granger.interview.have to work with.you'll die.see frequently" he got out between bouts of laughter.
"If you don't watch, I'll make sure that you guys end up working at Weasley and Patil's office. Now, I'm sure you don't really want that now do you?" This immediately shut Justin up and wiped the smile off of Blaise's face. "Didn't think so"
"So, you really think that she'll give you that job?" Blaise asked Draco, his neutral expression returning
"Oh yeah, Snape walked in in the middle of the interview and told Granger that she knew as well as he did that I was the best for the job. And she had a small defeated look on her face before she covered it back up with her cold emotionless expression again" Draco explained, conveniently to mention that Snape had walked in while he and Hermione had been fighting.
"I never did understand why she wasn't sorted into Slytherin. I mean it was proved that she was a pure-blood, she had the cunning that we do, the quick- thinking, the ability to remain neutral in basically any situation, the smarts that most of us have.note that I say most here. I mean she had everything a Slytherin does. She would've been the perfect Slytherin. Snape even seemed to like her more than the rest, though he still hated her for being a Gryffindor" Blaise thought out loud.
"I know what you mean, but you have to remember that she had been raised with muggles and she had the Gryffindor traits. She had their bravery and rash decision making in the beginning. It wasn't until around sixth year that the bravery turned into a bit of cunning as well and the rash decision- making had left her. She didn't gain her neutral mask until the summer before her seventh year. So in the beginning she was a true Gryffindor, she just became more Slytherin-like as the years passed" Draco explained, sounding slightly annoyed by his friends ignorance to all this information.
"Whatever, you want to come to lunch with us? We're going to El Primavera Cae, it's a new place in Diagon Alley, kind of fancy but we thought it would be nice to get away from here for awhile" Justin told him.
"You know I think I will join you. I could use time away from here today, I may lose my mind if I don't" With that Draco, Blaise and Justin headed out of the room and downstairs to the entrance so that they could apparate to Diagon Alley. They had a Friday lunch thing every year for the last five years and the only ones missed were when they were unable to leave the manor or were held up somewhere else and had no way to get out of it.
They arrived just outside the entrance, only to see a group of five walking into the restaurant. They, could not however, see the faces of the five but Draco had a sick feeling in his stomach when he saw a red head, three brunettes and black. He just had a feeling that it was them.
The them that he was trying so hard to avoid. When Justin asked if it was all right to go here, he knew that they had seen too. Yet they didn't want it to look like they didn't want to go in just because of a bunch of ex's being in there. That was a sign that they cared, which, of course, wasn't possible. They didn't care about anything other then themselves, so why would seeing them stop them from entering?
They felt something. Something that they weren't allowed too. Something that could get them or the ones they cared for killed. But again, it had all been just a lie right? A lie too save everyone from harm, to keep everything as it should be. A lie to protect, but someone was still watching them. Someone saw them hesitate when they spotted the five. Someone saw the looks of caring flash across each individual's face before their emotionless mask set back in.
They, of course, did enter, just sat as far from the others as possible. One confrontation had been enough for Draco. He didn't need another one. What he needed was to repair that wall around his heart. The wall that got a crack each time he heard her speak, even if it was her yelling at him. He needed her to disappear again, get away from his life. But that didn't appear to be happening anytime soon. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
