Title: Romance Shmomance
Part Nine: Nothing
Author: Kryptonite
Disclaimer: I wish
Spoilers: If any, few
Summary: Day or two after the library scene. Draco's talking to Anna. Officially AU since I'm not going to add in the events of OotP.
A/N: Hey, sorry this took so long. This is just a filler chapter, as I think the next few will be, so it's not too long. Just a way to keep the story going as I try to get my thoughts straight. Enjoy.

" Are you absolutely insane?" Draco shrieked later.
" No." Anna replied calmly.
" Are you positive? Because it sounds to me like-"
" Like I want to keep all my limbs attached, all my blood in my body and all my skin in one piece. If that includes sucking up to Pansy, doing her homework and," Anna shuddered before adding, " doing her nails, so be it." She crossed her arms and looked up at Draco.
" Why can't you just ignore us like everyone else?" Draco asked in defeat, hands pulling the skin of his face down grotesquely.
" Because no matter how ugly the Slytherin Prince looks or acts, I still love him despite what everyone says, despite what is right or wrong and despite the consequences.
I love you, Pansy isn't going to change that, your father is going to change that, hell, the whole bloody world isn't going to change that!" Anna burst, pulling his hands into hers.
" Now all I need is to hear you say that you still love me as much as you did when we came and I will be able to go to sleep happy." Anna had rested her forehead against Draco's, smiling tiredly up at him, trying to ignore the look of pure sadness in his eyes.
" I can't." He whispered. Anna froze. The boy she loved, who she would do anything for, who had told her a million times he loved her, couldn't say three little words.
" What?" She whispered back, not moving eyes wide in fear, tears shining near the bottom.
" I can't keep lying to you." Anna's hands dropped to her side and she slowly but surely backed up, praying that Draco would come to his senses and tell her that he loved her and pull her back into his arms. " It was fun while it lasted."
" How could you? How can you?" She hissed, eyes narrowed, shining from unshed tears. She turned and walked normally from the room, head held proud, her entire frame rigid.
" Are you happy now?" Draco asked the shadows over his shoulder. His jaw was set and his muscles tense.
" Extremely."

" Something wrong?" Ginny asked the girl who had just walked into the common room.
" Nope, nothing. I just have a headache. I'll see you all in the morning." Anna walked straight through the common room, up the stairs and into her dorm.
" Well, that was weird." Ginny remarked looking back at the dream team.
" Twenty bucks says it has to do with Malfoy." Ron nodded his head before bending back over his Potions essay.
" Probably does. Not much we can do about it now though." Hermione agreed with Harry and turned back to her book.
" No sense fretting." She added absently, turning a page.
