Chapter 11
Your heart's stone cold, and you can't feel nothin'
I wish what I got was enough to be lovin'
Your heart's stone cold, won't let nobody in there
Not much change, yeah, this song's too familiar
Your heart's stone cold, and it's making me sadder
Just to think true love really didn't even matter
Your heart's stone cold, and nothing's gonna change
December had slowly crept up among Hogwarts and everything seemed to be going fine. All the students were excited about Christmas which was just around the corner but Draco had to be the happiest. It would be three months since he and Tegan had started dating and he wanted to ask her to Malfoy Manor. He walked down the hallway quickly to the great hall and smiled. He had already sent an owl home to ask his parents permission and knew they wouldn't object. Draco hadn't told his parents yet but he was sure they would love Tegan. He walked into the Great Hall and saw Tegan sitting at the Slytherin table. He made his way over to where she was sitting and put his arms around her. Tegan smiled as she kissed Draco. He sat down next too her and smiled. Tegan gave him a curious glance and held his hand.
" Why are you so happy this morning?" Tegan asked as Draco just shrugged.
" Oh, no reason" Draco said his smile only growing bigger and Tegan squirmed in her seat a little.
" Tell me. Please. Please. Please!" Tegan said impatiently as Draco laughed.
" Well, are you doing anything over Christmas break?" Draco asked as Tegan shook her head.
" Nope I was just planning on staying here" Tegan said as Draco smiled and grabbed her hand a little tighter.
" Would you like to come spend the break at Malfoy Manor?" Draco asked as Tegan sat there for a second. She heard of what went on at Malfoy Manor from Harry but she wouldn't let his information ruin this for her. She loved Draco and she would have too meet his parents sooner or later.
" Sure I'd love too" Tegan said as Draco's face lit up even more and he gave her a quick peck on the cheek.
" You have asked your parents though right? I don't want them to be surprised when I get there" Tegan said as Draco's eyes sort of wandered.
" Well I sent them an owl today. They should be sending one back later today or tomorrow at the latest" Draco said as Tegan nodded. The bell rang and Tegan groaned. She didn't want to go to advanced astronomy, Draco wasn't in her class.
" I'll see you later" Draco said as Tegan nodded and kissed him.
" Bye. Tell me as soon as you get a owl back from your betters ok?" Tegan said as Draco nodded and she walked quickly to catch up with the trio. Tegan and the trio had become better friends, Tegan actually considered Hermione and Harry her best friends. Tegan stood next to Harry as they all made there way to the astronomy class.
" Why are you so happy?" Harry asked as he noticed Tegan smiling.
" Oh, no reason" Tegan said as she continued to walk happily down the hall. People looked at the four of them and shook there heads. They still didn't understand how three gryffindors and a slytherin could ever get along. But Tegan only got along with Harry and Hermione, that was only because Ron still didn't accept Draco after all this time.
" There's something obviously up. So tell us" Hermione said.
" If it's anything about Malfoy please leave me out" Ron muttered and Tegan rolled her eyes.
" Well it is something about Draco. He asked me to go to Malfoy Manor over Christmas break" Tegan said as all three of her friends stopped in there tracks.
" What did you say?" Hermione asked quickly before Ron could get a comment in. But she noticed that Ron was too busy being shocked.
" I told him yes of course" Tegan said as she smiled but it faded slowly as she saw the reactions of her friends.
" You're not serious" Harry said as Tegan looked at him.
" Of course I am" Tegan said as Ron glared at her.
" There probably setting up to kill you, you know. One less Weasley they have too deal with" Ron said as Tegan sighed.
" How many times do I have too tell you Draco isn't like that. You probably miscalculated his family also" Tegan said looking from each of her friends.
" I know Draco's different. But there's something about Lucius that I don't like" Harry said as Tegan looked at him in disbelieve.
" I thought you would be the one who would understand Harry" Tegan said as she walked away from the trio leaving Harry and Hermione speechless.
" She deserves it if something does happen to her you know. She's the one that didn't listen to us" Ron said as Harry and Hermione only groaned as they continued walking to Astronomy.
*~*~*~* Later In The Day *~*~*~*
Tegan made her way into the Slytherin common room and noticed it was empty. She put her bag down on the table and sat down on the couch wondering where Draco was. She looked around the common room for a few seconds as she thought about how her friends reacted earlier. They were wrong about Draco's family, nothing would happen to her. She heard the entrance door open and saw Draco walk in looking frustrated.
" Draco, what's wrong?" Tegan asked as he sat down next to her.
" Nothing" he said as Tegan reached for his hand but he pulled it away.
" Well there's obviously something wrong. Just tell me please. It will be better if you get it out" Tegan said and Draco looked up at her.
" My father wrote back" Draco said and Tegan sat there for a second.
" I'm guessing that it isn't good" Tegan said as Draco nodded.
" He doesn't want you to come over Christmas break" Draco said as Tegan looked confused.
" Why, what did I..." Tegan started to say but Draco cut her off.
" It's because you're a Weasley" Draco said sharply and Tegan was taken aback. Not only by the fact that Draco's father didn't like her because of her last name but also but Draco's tone. She sat there for a few seconds letting things sink in and then it clicked. She glared at Draco and he only sat there.
" You feel the same way don't you? You didn't notice it before because it didn't matter. But now it does because your dad pointed out the truth. I'm a Weasley and you know you can't change it" Tegan said as Draco continued sitting there only moving his head too look down at the floor. Tegan stood up and sighed, maybe her friends were right.
" If that's the case Draco then it's over until you can learn to love me for who I am" Tegan said as she walked out of the common room leaving Draco there too think. Tegan walked quickly down the hall and knew exactly where she needed to go. She headed towards the Gryffindor common rooms and only shook her head. Ron was right, this relationship was just doomed from the start. Draco hadn't changed, she just thought he had. She stood in front of the front lady as the portrait looked down upon her.
" Would you like me to get Harry for you?" The portrait asked as Tegan only nodded not feeling like talking. She felt her heart ache, how could she be so blind? The portrait door opened and Tegan saw Harry standing there. She didn't even let him get a word out as she started to cry. Harry hugged her and brought her inside the common room. Tegan noticed the only people who were in there was Hermione and Ron who were scribbling away on there parchments. They looked up as they heard a sob come from Tegan and went to her side.
" What's the matter T.J.?" Hermione asked as she sat down on the other side of her. Tegan explained about what had happened with Draco and Ron only snorted.
" I told you it would happen" Ron said as he went back over to writing on his parchment. Tegan felt more tears fall down her cheeks as Harry continued rubbing her back.
" Keep your comments to yourself Ron please" Hermione said as she glared back at him.
" No he's right, he's been right all the time. The relationships been doomed since the beggining. I can't believe I thought it would actually work" Tegan said as Harry and Hermione only exchanged glances.
" I'm going to talk to him" Harry said as he stood up.
" You don't have too Harry." Tegan said as Harry only shook his head and walked out of the common room. Harry made his way down to the Slytherin common room hesitantly but noticed a figure standing in front of a portrait. He got closer and noticed it was Draco looking up at a portrait that looked a lot like Tegan.
" Do you like breaking Tegan's heart Malfoy?" Harry asked as Draco sighed.
" Stay out of it Potter. It's none of your business" Draco said still gazing up at the picture.
" I know you love her a lot. Why do you keep on hurting her?" Harry asked and Draco took his eyes away from the portrait for a minute to look at him. Harry saw tears building up in his eyes and actually felt a little sympathy for Draco.
" It's not that I like hurting her Potter. I'm just not good at this relationship thing" Draco said as he turned his head so Harry couldn't see him wipe away his tears. Harry knew that Draco needed sometime to himself and walked back towards the Gryffindor common room. He knew that he would get Tegan and Draco back together even if it was the last thing he did.
