Chapter 4 - Letting Go
I was lying in my room, cursing Harry Potter. DAMN HIM! How could he do this to me! I found love, and he knew it. And he had to go a ruin it for me. I hate him. I never want to see him again. EVER! If he comes near me I'll. I'll. well, I don't know what I'll do, but I will do something.
"Jo?"
"Go away, Harry."
"Jo, this is important. I talked to Draco, and he knows what happened. Please, let me talk to you."
"No, thank you Mr. Potter. I'm not interested."
"You can be so stubborn sometimes, Jo. Seriously, this is good for you. Please. Let me explain what happened."
"NO!"
"If you don't let me in, ill come in my self."
"You can't. I charmed the door."
Next thing I knew, Harry came in, closing the door and locking it. "I have something to say to you, and you are going to listen."
I lay there, in shock, not moving. I just nodded. "Hermione is the one who talked to him, not me. She told him that if he really cared for you, he would leave you. She told him that because she thought you would lose me by staying with him. And so, he left you. Because he cares for you. When I realized what had happened, I ran out looking for him. I knew I had to talk to him. I found him, and I told him to find you, to tell you how he feels. I told him that I was letting you go. I want to see you happy. Please, don't stay angry with me. Please, let us be friends. I can't bear to lose you."
I saw tears running down his cheek. At that moment I knew that he had done something so painful that it tore him up. But he did it to make me happy. He loved me, and I hurt him. "Oh, Harry!" I threw my arms around him in a tight hug. "Why did you do that Harry? Why do you let yourself hurt?"
"Because I love you." He started to sob. I held him close.
"Harry, I love you too. but not in the way you love me. Can you accept that?"
"I can try."
"Oh, Harry. I'm so sorry." We sat there crying, sobbing, and holding each other. We stayed this way for several minutes, not moving, just crying. Then we heard someone clear his or her throat. It was Hermione.
"Jo, Malfoy is waiting outside the common room. He says he needs to talk to you."
I looked into Harry's eyes. He nodded and kissed me on the lips, a soft sweet kiss. As I got up to leave, I heard him whisper, "Good-bye, my love."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wrung my hands nervously, hoping she would come. My heart skipped a beat as she walked through the portrait hole. "Hi," she said.
"Hi." We stood there in silence. "Joana, I'm sorry."
She ran to me, crying, and wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tight. Then she slapped me. "Don't you ever do that again! I felt my world fall apart, Draco. I don't want it without you."
I put my finger on her lips and looked deep into her eyes. "Don't worry, baby, that will never happen." I kissed her then, deeply and passionately, with all the love I felt in my heart. She tasted wonderful, and she felt so right in my arms. I was complete.
When the kiss ended, she looked at me. "I want to tell everyone. I don't care who knows. Let them think what they want. All I know is that I'm happy here with you, and nothing can change that."
I smiled. "Ok, let's tell everyone. Just not our parents. not yet."
"Agreed. Telling our parents right now would be a bad idea. They would kill us." She sighed, looking somewhat unhappy.
"It will be ok. It will work out," I said, holding her chin and looking into her eyes. "As long as we are together, nothing can come between us, not even my father and your mother."
She nodded, holding me close. "Draco?"
"Yes?"
"How long have you liked me, honestly?"
I smiled. "Since we were children."
"Really?"
"Yes."
She smiled, contented. "I have to finish my homework. Meet me here tomorrow morning and we can walk to breakfast together."
"Ok." I kissed her, and then I turned and walked away, heading to my own dorm, knowing that I would sleep well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Jo? What was that about?" I turned to see Ginny Weasley standing behind me.
"Oh, well. If you must know, Draco and I are dating." I almost burst out laughing when I saw her reaction.
"WHAT?!?!?! YOU AND MALFOY!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? THAT GIT?!?!"
I sighed. "Yes, Ginny. We are. He's really not so bad once you get to know him. He really is nice."
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Yeah, ok. whatever you say." She was shaking her head as she walked back into the common room.
As I walked in, everyone stared at me. "Yes, everyone. I'm dating Draco Malfoy. I don't care what you guys think, because he cares about me, and he is sweet to me. I'm happy and that's all that matters." With that I turned around and walked into my room, Hermione's eyes filled with laughter.
"It's good to see you happy, Jo. I'm happy for you." She smiled at me, and I drifted off to sleep, dreaming of my Draco.
