Ch.13- Lunch by the Lake
Sarah eventually cooled down. She began to pick up the glass, and cut her finger. It started to bleed. She picked up the rest of the glass, and threw it away. She walked down to the common room. Hermione walked up to her. "I really sorry... What happened to your hand?" Sarah told her. "You should go and see Madame Pomfrey. That doesn't look to good."
"No, I don't need to its not that bad. And I don't want to waste any of her valuable time." Hermione gave her an I-don't-believe-you-for-a- second look. "Okay! I just don't want to listen to her nag!" Hermione gave her a reproachful look.
"Well at least clean it."
They walked to the bathroom. Sarah ran it under warm water, and wrapped it in a papertowel. After she was done they walked down to breakfast. They ran into Ron and Harry on their way. Ron looked immediately to the wrapped up finger. "What happened?" Sarah told them the story, except about Hermione knocking over the cup (much to Hermione's relief). "You should go to Madame Pomfrey." Sarah said that she wouldn't, because she would put something on it that would make it burn for about a week. Hermione gave up. "You're as stubborn as Ron!" After she said that Sarah realized how ridiculous she was being and agreed to go see Madame Pomfrey.
Then swooped in hundreds of owls. One of them dropped a letter in front of Sarah. She picked it up and stuffed it in her pocket. They finished eating breakfast, and walked out of the Great Hall.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione went with her to make sure that she went. On the way there they ran into Draco. "I was looking for you. May I ask you something?" Sarah nodded her head. She and Draco walked away from the others. Hermione realizing that they should leave pulled Ron and Harry away.
Draco making sure that they were gone pulled out a sheet of paper from his pocket. "I would like to cash this in if I could, please." He handed it to her. She had a puzzled look. She opened up the folded piece of paper, and it was one of her coupons (a/n remember- 'I owe you one free lunch by the lake'). She laughed. They arranged to meet by the lake.
Sarah walked to the infirmary after talking with Draco. Madame Pomfrey put an ointment on it, and it stung very badly. She then washed it off. "You should have come earlier." She put a Band-Aid on it, and Sarah took a few others with her. She was thankful to leave.
She walked to her first class, Professor Binns. She decided that this would be the perfect time to read the letter. She read it and smiled to herself. She folded it back up, and put it in her pocket.
After all her morning classes it was time for lunch. She was walking down a hallway, when someone called her name. She turned to see who it was, and it was Pansy. "What do you want?"
"I need to tell you something. It's about why Draco broke up with me."
"I don't care about that. It's not my business."
"Trust me you will care." Pansy pulled her into one of the classrooms nearby. She sat it one of the desks. Sarah did the same.
"What do you mean?"
"Draco broke up with me, because he's in love with someone else." Sarah had a really confused look on her face. "So!" Pansy rolled her eyes. "You are really ignorant!" Pansy gave her a dirty look.
"What does Draco being in love have to do with me?"
"You are an idiot! He loves YOU!" Pansy smiled at the look on Sarah's face. Sarah's face suddenly felt hot. Pansy knew the damage she'd done, and put on a smug smirk. She left mumbling things like, "Fool!", "Daft Idiot", and so on.
Sarah sat there a moment to let those words sink in. Some things were beginning to make sense. She got up and walked out of the classroom. She walked out to the lake where she saw Draco pacing. He looked at her. He looked nervous, and she looked pale. "I'm glad you came. I have something important to tell you..."
Sarah cut him off. "I already know." She sat down on the ground. "Pansy told you?" Sarah nodded her head. Draco sat next to her. "I'm sorry. I didn't know it would happen."
"You don't need to apologize." They sat in silence. Draco turned to her, "I love you." Sarah looked away. Draco felt defeated, and turned straight again. "Why do these things happen to me?" But Draco had no answer. They sat in silence again. Sarah kept her eyes on the ground. She looked at his hand, and it was just lying on his leg. He was looking at her through the corner of his eye. She slowly reached her hand down, and picked his up. She wrapped her thin fingers around his, and then she gasped because her finger began to burn. Draco looked at her. She put both of the hands in her lap, and looked at him square in the face. "I don't know what to do." Draco looked down for a moment and then back up in her face. "I can' t tell you what to do. I know what I want to happen, but that may not be what you want. So the choice is yours." He kissed her hand, and got up and walked away. So she was alone with her thought, and a simple lunch for two.
For the rest of the day she seemed to float. She didn't talk much. Her thoughts were racing from what Draco had said to Oliver. She didn't even know if she loved Draco. She was always getting herself into these types of situations. She realized that deep down she knew what would have eventually come of Draco and her relationship. She knew what was going to happen the first time she met Draco. She felt as though she had been cheating on Oliver. After dinner (which she never said a word) she went to her bed, and lay there. Her friends came to the conclusion that she was sick. And let her be.
