Chapter Nine: "You Can't Go"
+---------------+
Here we are the two of us together
Taking this crazy chance to be all alone
We both know that we should not be together
Cause if they found out
It could mess up both our happy homes
I hate to think about us all meeting up together
As soon as I looked at you it would show on my face
Then they'll know that we've been loving each other
They can never no, oh no, we can't leave a trace
Secret lovers that's what we are, we shouldn't be together
But we can't let it go, oh no, cause we love each other so
How could something so wrong be so right
I wish we didn't have to keep our love out of sight
Living two lives just ain't easy at all
But we gotta hang on and after all
Secret lovers that's what we are
Trying so hard to hide the way we feel
Cause we both belong to someone else
But we can't let it go, cause what we feel is oh so real
So real...so real...
You and me, are we fair
Is this cruel, or do we care
Can they tell what's in our minds
Maybe they've had secret love all of the time
Secret lovers, that's what we are
Trying so hard to hide the way we feel
Cause we both belong to someone else
But we can't let it go
Cause what we feel is oh so real
So real...so real...so real...so real!

The North Tower was our secret place. That was where we used to go meet in secret. It didn't took me long to get there. I guess running helped a lot in that. I couldn't imagine what it was that Draco thought it was so important, but what ever it was I was going to find out soon enough. It took me a while walking up the steps, the staircase was much extended. My brain was hurting from trying to figure out the answer to why I was going to meet him. I didn't even realize how cold I was. But for a second there I noticed that I wasn't wearing any shoes, my hair was all over the place, and I was still in my light blue pajama. As I was getting closer to the stop I heard two voices talking.
"Leave Negaria! We'll talk about this later on." A deep voice said.
It sounded to me like Draco was talking to someone, so I decided to hide behind the corner of the staircase. It was wrong to eardrop, but I couldn't help myself.
"C'mon Draco, we're alone. No rush here." It was a woman's voice, and she sounded exotic. But her voice made my spine shivered.
"I said no, now please go!" Draco replied.
Then I heard someone taking couple of steps.
"You know you miss me. I haven't seen you in like what? Three years? Two years?"
"No, I didn't miss you. And there wasn't even really anything between us. We were only together because of our fathers. You and I both knew that I didn't have feelings for you." There was irritation in his voice.
As I was listening to the whole thing, there was a big lump that was forming in my heart. Was this Negaria and Draco a couple? Maybe it was when he and I broke up. I didn't know anyone in our school with that name.
"Ouch! That hurt! Don't tell me you're still have feeling for that little tart. While we were going out you couldn't even shut up about her. But don't worry pookie, after we find the macrocardia we'll get rid of all the non pureblood that are polluting our world.including her." After she said that I heard a choking noise. "Let-go----of me! I can't------breath!"
"You-Will-Not-Lay-A-Hand-On-Her! You hear me!?"
"I WON'T!" She started coughing. "You know I won't hurt her, but I can't promise what my father will do or won't do."
For some reason I didn't believe one thing that came out of her mouth. But she got me thinking about the macrocardia. What did she mean by 'if they have it they can get rid of people'? Did it have the power to do such a thing?
"Voldemort won't lay a hand on her either if he wants me on his side. Now leave, I got things to do." Draco's voice discovered a nicer tone.
Voldemort? Negaria is his daughter?!!
"Stop lying, you know you're waiting for someone to arrive."
There was a silence between them and then Draco finally spoke. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Negaria gave out a little high pitched laugh, "Worry that your little girlfriend might find out about us? Don't worry, she's already here."
How did she know? I knew that I didn't make a sound or anything. To make sure, I kept down and didn't reveal myself. But that didn't seem to work, because a moment later I heard a body coming my way. The next thing I know, I felt two cold hands lifting me to stand up. I couldn't believe how strong she was. She threw me across the room to where Draco was standing. My left knee was bleeding from the impact against the wall, but I got myself up as soon as possible. Hoping that I wouldn't show my emotion. I ran toward the girl and punched her across the face. Mixed with anger and shock, Negaria dashed toward me. But Draco didn't wait to find out what she would do, because he got in front of me.
"Back off Negaria!"
"That bitch! You wait till I get my hands on you. EEERR!"
Draco spent couple of minutes holding her hands, refusing her to get to me. I got the time to really study her. I couldn't believe my eyes on how gorgeous she looked. Her hair was blonde and beautifully curled down to the mid of her back. Not only was the moon reflecting on her shiny hair, but it showed the striking of her blue-green eyes. They were large, round, and just simply dazzling. Negaria's nose had the perfect composition to her face. Her rosy full lips also helped out. Even as mad as I was, I couldn't help on noticing that I would die for her great body. The girl was skinny, but she had all the right curves at exactly the right places. The dress that she was wearing really showed off her skinny long legs. Negaria was wearing a tight long black dress. The sleeves cover up all of her arms, but the neck of the dress ripped down to her navel. You could see part of her cleavage along with her flat stomach. As Draco was fighting off Negaria, I saw the split on her dress. It was quite a long rip. It ran from a little below her hips down to the floor showing her smooth legs and her black high heels. I couldn't imagine why Draco would leave such a beautiful creature. I was feeling jealousy comparing the girl who seemed around our age with someone like me. I must have looked very ugly compared to what I was wearing and how messy and sweaty I was.
"Lay off Negaria! This is ridiculous. You're not even supposed to be here!" The two finally tired themselves out.
"Draco, who is she?" That was the first time I spoke all night.
He let go of her and walked toward me. His eyes were gentle again as they set on me. "Don't worry about it Cho, I'm sorry about this whole deal." Draco placed his hand on my face and kissed me. When our faces got apart I smiled upon him and forgot that Negaria was even there. "Did you like the teddy bear that I sent you?"
"Thank you, it was beautiful." I gave him a thank you kiss.
"Aaawwww, isn't this just sick? I think I need to cleanse my guts.
Scared of what Negaria might try to do again, Draco placed his back in front of me and held my hands firmly.
"You brought her a muggle's gift? That is low Draco! Very low, this could ruin you if father and the rest find out." There was a chilling but yet concern smile on her face.
"I don't care, and I think we'll be leaving now." Draco led my hands toward the staircase.
"Even if you don't care about yourself, think of her. You know the result upon her and her parents if you deny us. And isn't her mother an Auror?"
Draco stopped on his track for a second. I had the feeling that he was thinking about what she had said. But then he slowly gained back his footpath.
The last thing I heard from her was she yelling out to Draco to think about what she had said.
After we got off the North Tower, neither one of us spoke as he led me toward the dark shimmering lake. When we reached our destination he let go of my hand.
Draco found a big rock on the ground and picked it up. He ran closer to the lake and threw it as hard and far as he could while yelling.
Feeling the tenseness in him I asked, "Are you ok?"
He didn't answer me right away because he was gathering up rocks and throwing them off into the quiet lake.
"She's right, you know?" I didn't know how to reply to that, so I stayed in the silence. "My father and the Dark Lord want me to go join them." The whole time while he was talking he kept on throwing the rocks out into the sea. I settled myself on the big rock listening to what he had to say. "They will come and get me in a week." His voice dropped.
"You can't go." I said calmly while studying the dancing leaves on the ground.
"You know I don't want to go." Another rock drowned.
"You can't go." My voice got a little trembling.
"They'll know if I chose not to go it would be because of you, and then you'll be in danger." I could tell that his voice was becoming unstable too.
"I don't care, you can't go." I dug my fingers into the rock trying to hold back the tears.
"They'll go after you and your family." Draco dropped all the rocks in his hand on the dirt floor.
"My mother is one of the greatest Aurors." I replied.
He got on his knees in front of me, but I was too afraid to look up. His hands were on my knees telling me to look up, but I refused. "I'll be leaving in a week."
"You can't go." I knew that my tears had escaped.
"While I'm gone, I want you to take care of yourself, and know this Cho; I will always be watching and looking after you no matter what. I can tell that Harry Potter cares very much for you, so I know that you'll be looking after by him also. Stay with him, alright? He'll protect you."
"I don't want Harry, I want you." I forced myself to look into his eyes. His beautiful blue-gray eyes were quivering. Both of us were trying to be strong and tried not to leak. I knew I was bad at that since water was already dripping from my eyes. "I don't care what happens to me. I can take care of myself. You can't go Draco. You just can't. Please stay.I love you." I gripped my hand tightly with his.
Draco took his hands up to rinse my tears away. I closed my eyes to hold back the emotion and kissed him. It was a kiss that we had never experienced before. It was as if it would be our very last. We did it slowly and passionately trying to hold on to the moment forever.
"I'll be here." Draco promised me. That was our last talk before our lips met again.
We stayed out there for a while enjoying the view and each other's company. But then we recognized that we had a Quidditch game against each other tomorrow. The whole time while we were walking back to the castle I felt like someone was staring at us. I repeatedly looked back on the North Tower.
"What's wrong?" Draco noticed my anxiety.
"Oh, nothing." I gave my last look into the Tower. And then I saw two big green eyes. They were staring at us with rage. I felt like someone had just stabbed me in the stomach. I told myself that I was hallucinating, so I disregarded the green lights.
