1 Ch. 10
When Draco finally emerged from the shower and got dressed, he went down to the common room to sit and pass the time until lunch.
//Maybe I won't even go to lunch. I'll have to see his face again, and read in those amazing eyes how much I hurt him. If he didn't hate me before, he definitely does now//
"Well you know Draco, you can't just sit down here forever. It can get awfully drafty when the fire goes out"
//Oh no. The one person who knows what's wrong with me.//
"Yes, it's me again. You seem so happy to see me"
"Oh I am. Really"
Snape would have had to be deaf not to hear the dripping sarcasm in Draco's voice.
"I would not advise taking that tone with me, Mr. Malfoy"
"Sorry professor, I just have a lot on my mind"
//Much more than you will ever know//
"Well to prevent you from saying something like to that to another teacher who would be less.shall we say.understanding, of your excruciatingly awful problems, why don't you get them all out now"
//Why should I tell him anything. Not like it helped me//
"And believe it or not, Draco, telling people your problems is occasionally helpful"
//Well, what have I got to lose?//
"It's just...I can't seem to get that look that Harry had on his face out of my mind. He just looked so miserable, all because of me. And I hate myself for making him feel that way"
"Go tell him that"
"I can't. I'm Draco Malfoy, remember? Cold hearted Slytherin ice boy who does nothing but sneer at everyone."
"But you don't have to be like that."
"Old habits are hard to break"
"Well it's almost lunch time. Go and eat, you look like you need food"
Snape then swept out of the dungeon, leaving Draco alone with his thoughts to watch the dying embers of the fire for a few minutes until he got up and went to lunch.
A/N: I've finally posted this chapter (I only got 19 reviews but I was feeling particularly nice, plus I was getting tired of waiting). I know Snape is kind of out of character, but whatever. Please review (it's good for you too, I usually review the stories of whoever reviews mine)!!!!!
