Love Sick
Chapter Ten
Draco woke up to the sun beaming in his face. He groaned, irritated at the sun rays, why was the sun beaming in his face? Then suddenly he remembered as he opened his eyes. I'm in her room, for bloody sakes can't she close her curtains at night. He turned to his side and watched the figure lying next to him, sleeping peacefully. A surge of guilt came down upon him, he couldn't believe what he did last night.
And what was worse is that he enjoyed every bit of it. I can't believe I have to leave you like this. Draco got up picking his clothes up and walked off to the bath room. He threw his garments on the floor and turned on the tap for the shower. What he needed right now was something to take him out of his misery. I'm going to have to do what I didn't want to do all this time, dump her. He thought about what he told her last night, it took every ounce of energy in him to say those words.
The things I have to go through! Blaise better give me 100 gallons. But then he knew that the money wasn't going to change the fact that he'll make Hermione cry and that part of him still wanted her. To bad your not like Ginny, maybe then I could have kept you. But was it about being pure blood or muggle born anymore? Draco couldn't take it, he needed to talk to his friend. The only one who can make sense out of the unsenseable.
He got out the shower and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around his waist. Then he ran over to the opposite door he entered from to reach his room. He glanced over at what he could wear and threw on a loose white t-shirt and cargo pants. He towel dried his dripping wet hair and combed through it. Draco heard a tapping sound and wondered what it was before he could do anything an owl swooped into the room throwing a letter on Draco's bed. Draco opened the letter and quickly read its contents.
Draco,
I am appalled to hear the sad news that occurred. I believe you understand what the consequences for your actions are. I had spoken with your father about this matter and we have decided that you will get married to Pansy Parkinson at the end of the school year. No questions. You brought this upon yourself. I am deeply disappointed.
Love,
Mother
"What the fuck?" Draco became pale. What was his mother on about? If somehow she had over heard about him going out with Hermione why didn't she seem more angrier? She would have sent me a howler if she knew I was dating a mud blood. But that wasn't the case, there was something else. He didn't know what was going on which added to his endless stress.
-----------------------------------
Blaise sat on his usual seat when Draco entered the room. Draco stared at him for a while before sitting next to him. Blaise looked at him worriedly as though he can see the fear and anger in his eyes.
"What's up?" Blaise said. Draco gave him the letter which Blaise took and read. Blaise's expressions changed slightly and looked back at his friend. "You don't think they know do they?" Draco shook his head.
"If they did a simple letter would not have been how they would show there disappointment." Blaise rubbed his chin and nodded understandingly.
"So what do you suppose it is?" He asked confused.
"That's the thing mate, I don't know!" Draco showed his frustration by putting his head in his hands. Blaise put down the letter on the table and stared at him for a good while.
"Do you want to forget this whole deal we had?" Draco snapped his head up at Blaise.
"I already won." Blaise's face lit up a bit as he began to chuckle.
"So how does it feel?" As though the question triggered his mood, Draco stood up and glared at Blaise. How can he think about that when I'm going through this!
"For the first time in my bloody life I feel like an idiot, a jerk, I feel as though I was playing with the wrong fire. And what's fucking pissing me off more, is the fact that I may have one the bet but you won the prize. You have what you wanted don't you? But I can't. Pure bloods can't mix with muggle borns, mate! And I just screwed up everything all for a dumb game." Blaise seemed as though the win blew him across the room hitting him in the face. He disconnected the glare Draco was giving him and looked down.
"Sorry, I didn't know." Blaise said calmly. "But listen to yourself, if you really love the damn girl why don't you just tell her the truth and make her understand."
"You still don't get it do you. Forget the fact that she'll hate me more but I don't love her. I just feel bad. My parents won't allow something like that and before I fall for her any more then I have I got to let her go. Which fucking sucks because she would think that I only wanted her for her body." Draco said angrily. The two didn't notice Pansy walk in the room. Pansy came up right behind Draco.
"Draco we need to talk." She said. Draco turned to look at her and rolled his eyes.
"Not now!" Pansy grew red with anger.
"Yes now! If you fucking know what's good for you!" Draco looked at her shocked that she had raised her voice at him. He looked back at Blaise who gestured him to speak to her.
"Fine you got five minutes." This time it was her turn to roll her eyes. She dragged him to the opposite side of the room at a small table.
"Did you by any chance get a letter?" She asked fumbling with her fingers.
"Yea, what the hell is that about anyway?" Draco asked confused.
"Well you see that letter was only sent to you because I sent a letter to my own parents." Draco looked at her horrified.
"You told them didn't you?! Why are you always interfering with my bloody business?! Don't you have enough men to screw to take your mind off!" Pansy began to cry silently. She turned away from him.
"I don't screw other men and I don't care what rumors you heard. The only one I slept with was you!" Pansy said sniffling. He rolled his eyes at her. "Now I regret more then ever."
"Listen what the hell was in the letter that you sent them. Because obviously now I'm stuck marrying you!" Draco said loud enough to turn a few heads. Pansy hushed him making him sit down on the seat next to her.
"Remember when we were having sex that night." Pansy whispered. Draco nodded trying to forget the scene.
"How do I say this..." She thought for a second then looked him in the eyes. "I'm pregnant." Draco choked and looked at her horrified and in disbelief.
"You weren't on birth control!" He said his tone dangerously angry.
"I thought you used a condom!" Pansy said irritated. Draco brushed his hair back in frustration. He also tried to rub his temples. I'm only seventeen I don't deserve all of this?! Another thought crossed his mind.
"How do you know its mines?" He asked glaring down at her. That had made Pansy snap her head at him. She stood right in front of him and slapped him across the face.
"I fucking told you that you were the only one!" She turned around only to look back at him one last time. "You know what? Deal with it! Because it's your fault for sleeping around with every virgin including certain mud-bloods!" Pansy sensed the horror in his face and walked off to her room. Draco sat there practically all eyes on him and couldn't move.
"Hey man, I kinda over heard." Blaise came back a bit shocked.
"Yea so did every one else." Draco said bitterly. Blaise turned around to look at the few people launching around staring at them from the corner of their eyes.
"Ignore it. Listen, you need to do something or it will blow up in your face." Blaise said. Draco stared at him for a second then looked back down. He saw a book on the table next to him and he couldn't help him self. He grabbed the book and flung it across the room angry.
"FUCK!"
