A friendly reminder: I do not own any of the characters from harry potter
(harry, draco, hermione, ron, etc.) J.K. Rowling does. Don't know who she
is? Sucks to be you, now doesnt it?I do, however, own Belle Gratio and this
plot. I might use some other characters, but i will ask and acknowledge
their creator's first. Author's note: sorry this chapter is so short..but
be prepared for a longer chapter next time! Chapter 3- Never Go Back Draco
sat in his office, staring at his desk which was empty except for one piece
of paper. He picked it up, re-reading the words written on it.

Belle graduated today. Jonathon and I were extremely proud. I think I might've embarrassed her...I did the picture thing again. I couldn't help myself! Those two were meant for each other since the day they met. It would be so marvelous to see them wed in my lifetime. Well...I can't seem to convince Belle they were made for each other...Draco's my next project..but I doubt he'll listen. Oh well, I suppose you can't push them to it..such a pity.

He sighed. He had concluded that this was a page out of Belle's mother's diary...it had somehow found its way into the photo album, and must have slipped out when he was wrapping it. He didn't bother until now to pick it up. He couldn't help re-reading it several more times before jamming it into a drawer.
"Her mother had dreams for us..hopeless dreams..." he muttered to himself.
But why? Why did she even bother? Belle and I fought endlessly..we were definitely not meant for each other...he thought, staring down at the empty desk. Belle and him had fought since they were young, and it was always over the stupidest of things. Sure, they had dated in their fifth year at hogwarts, but their fighting got the better of the relationship They had even tried again in their seventh year, but he had lied to her..and when she found out..well, that was the end. He sighed again, rising from his chair and walking out of his office, then all the way out to the streets of Diagon Alley.

Belle stared at the closed book, blinking back the tears. She ran her hand over the ridges of its cover, sighing. A voice in her head awakened her from her dreamland.
"Belle, how many times do I have to tell you..DONT GO BACK TO HIM! He'll just break your heart all over again.."
"Show yourself Apollo!" she called in response, sitting up and looking around. A handsome tomcat appeared, swishing his tawny tail, a smirk on his face.
"I told you never go back the second time, and look what happened. You would think you would have learned Belle." a voice spoke in her head. Belle didn't break eye contact with the cat. He seemed to stare at her, never blinking.
"Apollo, there's no chance for us this time..so don't worry about it" she said, a bit more sharply than she meant.
Apollo's eyes narrowed. "Don't be so sure Belle.." he said, hopping off the bed and crawling under it. Belle rolled her eyes, getting up. She walked out of the room, and down the stairs. She nodded to Ron, Harry, and Hermione who were still sitting at the bar. She walked out the door leading to Diagon Alley.
She knew Apollo was worried for a good reason, but she had learned her lesson this time. She would never make that mistake again. Ever.
