Living Dreams: Chapter One-The Meeting
It was Drakes fifth year at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry...It was a chilly night...he curled up in his bed as a breeze swept through his cracked window..."I wonder when I'll be able to sleep again"...he repeated the words to himself over and over again until he decided he couldnt sleep...he hadn't been able to for years..."i dont know how I've lived like this"...after a few minutes of mumbling curses to himself under his breath he gets up and walks to the window which he throws open slamming them into the side of the castle shattering one of them..."I don't know what's happened to me over all this time...ever since then..."Drakes mind trails to a day in his past life...the day when his life changed...the day when he was thrown away...but he quickly shakes it off and looks around outside and notices another figure on a balcony a few windows away..."I wonder who that could be...probably just one of Harry's friends...yeah right..."he didn't know anyone that wasnt Harry's friend...except for that Draco kid and a few of his pets...he looks closer at the figure...a girl...not much younger than Drake himself...he could make out a few details but that was all...none of which mattered to him..."why do I care"...he walks back into his room as another chill runs through him...he lays on his bed staring at the wall..."why....do...I...care"...after many hours Drake manages to get to sleep still murmuring the words to himself..."why......do......I....care..."
The next morning Drake is walking down the corridors staring at the ground and walking silently...it wasn't any different from the other days...Drake was a loner...he never knew what friendship was worth...he never accepted it...he looks up and sees Harry...Harry Potter..."looks like he's got someone new to follow him...wonder who it is now"...Drake wanders by pretending not to notice...but at the next turn off into a classroom he stops and shoves himself inside..."that was her...that...girl"...his mind was wandering again...but he didn't care this time...he was too busy thinking who she was...and what she was doing with...Potter...He sneaks another peek outside to look at her face..."wow...she looks..."he stops himself from completing his sentence...she had flowing brown hair and deep blue eyes...he drops his eyes to the ground again walking casually down the hall...he thought the last word of his sentence out in his mind...beautiful...Drake looked up...dozens of eyes were on him...he must have said it out loud..."oh this will be going around the school"...he looked back at the girl again...she was staring back at him...her soft blue eyes...meeting his ice cold blue...he turned back around and walked to his next class muttering to himself...on the way he had tons of people pestering him...
"Oh how cute"
"They're such a good couple"
"I didn't know Drake cared for anyone"
"She's Bee-you-tee-full"
"Did you see the way he looked at her"
"Nice move Drake"
His name was never mentioned like this in the school before...all conversation was around him for once..."I don't know what I'm doing just standing here"
"haha! Drake what a loser!..." Drakes eyes lifted at this...
"What was that...punk"...He walks over there staring at the lowly student with eyes that would peirce the heart...
"I said you were a loser...you got something against it"...Drake was infuriated at the remarks...he never saw anyone with the guts to say it to him before...
"Yeah actually I do"...he slowly lifts the kid off the ground..."you don't need to be messing with people you cant handle"...his left fist is raised behind his back...
"you wouldn't hit me..." at this Drake tries to swing at him...but his arm is locked behind him...he looks back over his shoulder only to see her again...holding his fist...the shirt collar that was clenched in his right fist was softened and the kid slipped out of his grip and slinked away...Drake slowly turns his head back around yanks his hand away and walks back to his dorm...he stands out on the balcony where he first saw her and cries for the first time since he came to Hogwarts...
