Belle kept running down the halls with tears filling her eyes. Being with Draco almost made her forget persuing Ron and the twins anymore, but running into Percy made her want them more. She would not marry Percy, she would sooner kill herself. She got to her first class just as the door was about to close. She slipped in quickly and found a seat in the back. She noticed Draco up front and he looked back to see her and probably saw her glassy eyes as he turned around quickly. She sniffed back her tears and got out her things that she would need. She was shocked to see Ron run to the back of the room and sit with her. She put on a smile and tried to look as happy as she could. "You know, I really admire you for trying to be so happy through this whole thing, even though its tearing you up inside." he said giving her a sideways apolagetic look. "Ron, I cant marry Percy, I just cant..." she said no hardly able to speak. A tear slipped down her cheek and Ron wiped it away. "Dont let Percy be the reason of your tears, I wont let him harm you" he said hugging her. 'Ron is winning this race' she thought.
What they couldnt see was a heart broken Draco, who didnt hear a word said in class. He was writing on a piece of parchment but the same thing each time 'I love Belle' When the class was over he quickly rolled up his parchment and walked out past Ron and Belle. He then watched as they arrived in his next class, him carrying her books and her acting as if nothing happened bwtween them before. 'How can she be so calm!' he thought. Just like the class before Draco didnt pay attention to class but wrote 'I love Belle' a little harder on his parchment.
When it was suppertime Ron and Belle finally split and she ran to the Slytherin table. Blaise was there and she told him of everything when all he was interested in was rubbing her knee. She finally had enough of it and placed her hand on top of his and lifted his pointer finger sharply so that it broke. Draco had to chuckle as she saw Blaise yell and pull his hand out from under the table. She then smiled sweetly "bye Blaise!" she yelled while watching him run out of the Great Hall.
After dinner she decided to return to her dorm and try to get some work done then send an owl to her father. As she sat up an large black owl flew in and dropped a letter right in front of her. She quickly grabbed the letter and ran out of the hall smiling. She knew that the letter was from her father and she missed him so much. When she was back in her dorm she jumped on her bed and was immediatly met with Sophie meowing and purring. She tried to get the letter open but Sophie would jump on her lap and stick her nose in Belle's face. "Yes Fia, I love you too, just let me read my letter" When she opened it a little seed popped out and a piece of parchment. i Isabel
You would not believe how proud I am of you for finding the Weasleys and making your move so soon. I miss you and Sophie around here so much, but you must stay at Hogwarts. This house is so empty without you, everything I see remeindes me of you. I havent even been able to go near your room without missing you. I was so upset to see tear drop stains on your last letter, I had no idea the Malfoy boy would be there. I know that you must be hurting very badly but stay on your mission which is finding a Weasley son. Please remember that I love you with all my heart and your mother would be so proud of you. You are and will always be my Belle, born in a pot of dirt and you've blossomed into the lovely girl you are now. Another thing about you is that your born beautiful on the inside. Let your heart live wild your there. Please right me again as soon as you can.
,Your Father

Belle could have started crying, yet she did enough of that already. She then knew what she must do, she grabbed the seed and rushed down the stairs. She was shocked to find only Draco sitting there on the couch. She quickly ran in front of the couch and he stood up to leave her again. She then pushed him back down and looked straight into his now irratated eyes. He opened his mouth to speak but she silenced him by covering his mouth. "Shut up Draco, Its my turn to give you my feelings. I know that I've told you that I love you, I also love my father. I am very messed up right now, I am being torn in two in other words. And the one person who I thought would understand is yanking half of me. Well I dont know what I'm thinking but my heart is living free" she said opening her outstretched hand to reveil the seed. Draco who was still clueless stared at it and wondered what she was signifying. She then closed her palm and closed her eyes, and through back her head. All he saw was her head fly back and her hand glow white. When she opened her palm there laying in her hand was an emerald rose, then she fainted.
