Disclaimer: I own nothing…
A/N: Yay! We broke 100!!! I'm so happy and thank you to EVERYONE who reviewed the last chapter or any of the story for that matter! You all deserve a cookie! (Or a piece of cheesecake… Gr) Lol! Well, here's the next chapter, hope you enjoy!
"What do you mean, that we could say you two were friends? Harry?" Liz asked in confusion.
"Well, friends don't traditionally wish death upon one another, but yeah, oh well," Harry said in annoyance. How could she leave out the small tidbit that her mother was a Malfoy?
"Wish death?" Liz asked in confusion.
"Yes, wish death," Draco said, his voice dripping with hatred. "Looks like we're not the only ones with explaining to do."
"What the heck is that supposed to mean?" Liz asked in an annoyed voice.
"Well, for starters, what are you doing dating a Potter?" Draco asked, glaring at Harry.
Harry glared right back at him, seeing red when he looked into Draco's pale blue eyes.
"Why wouldn't I date Harry?" Liz asked in confusion.
"Because the whole lot of them are egotistical--" Malfoy said, looking at Harry with a smirk on his face, obviously waiting to see what Harry would say.
"—self centered, teacher's pets, half blooded, disgraces to the wizarding name. Get some new insults, Malfoy," Harry finished for him. He knew what Draco thought of him and he knew what he thought of Malfoy.
"Exactly," Draco said with a smirk.
"Half blooded?" Liz asked with a gasp.
"Yes, your precious boyfriend and the wizarding world's precious savior is nothing more than a half blood," Draco said, hate dripping from his voice.
"You're dating a half blood?" Liz's sister… Katherine was it asked with a gasp.
"Yes," Harry said in an annoyed voice. "Your little sister is dating someone with a muggle born mother and a pure blooded father."
"Your mother is a mudblood?" Liz asked in shock.
"Yes, and she's most likely the reason you're all alive today," Harry said. How dare they insult his parents? The ones who had given their lives for not only him, but for the rest of the wizarding world.
"Don't humor yourself, Potter," Malfoy said with a smirk.
"Oh, believe me, I'm not," Harry said in a voice that he hoped sounded superior to Malfoy's.
"He's also Black's godson," Draco threw in, obviously hoping to hold something else over Harry's head.
It had the desired effect.
"That traitorous little—" Mrs. Blaze began to shriek.
"Have you been living in a cave?" Harry asked, no longer giving a crap about what Liz's family thought of him.
"Harry!" Liz said in a voice that she obviously hoped would silence him.
"Because you obviously didn't know that he was cleared of all charges," Harry finished in a cold voice.
"I didn't mean to the deatheaters, honey," Mrs. Blaze said in 'sweet' voice that made Harry's blood run cold.
"Funny, I can't for the life of me think of anyone he's ever betrayed," Harry said in a sarcastic voice.
"That ungrateful little—" Mrs. Blaze began.
"Who is obviously a better person than you could ever hope to be," Harry said before turning around. He had enough. If he stayed, he might just kill Draco like he's been wanting to do for all these years.
"Now I see why you don't see," Mrs. Blaze said, just as Harry was turning around, "You're just as self righteous, ungrateful, and—"
But Harry didn't hear the rest of what she said because he was gone. He had slammed the door behind him and with a pop and one last look at the beautiful house, he was gone and back in his living room.
"Stupid, little—" Harry muttered to himself as he tried to charm a mop to mop the kitchen floor. His apartment still smelt of coffee and—even with the book right in front of him—could not figure out how to charm the mop.
Harry sighed and put down the mop for a moment and just sat on his kitchen floor, being furious with himself for wasting all this time with Elizabeth.
A pop resounded throughout the kitchen.
"No one leaves me," Liz said with a look of pure hatred on her face.
"Well, I felt like I should leave before I killed your cousin," Harry said in a perfectly calm voice with anger seeping through.
"How could you not tell me?" Liz shrieked.
Harry looked up at her to see tears pouring down her face. Good. Let her cry.
"Funny, I always figured you were better than all those idiots who cared about bloodlines," Harry said in a cold voice.
"I'm not an idiot for caring about bloodlines and I am better than any half blood," Liz said as she wiped a stray tear from her eyes.
"Of course you are," Harry said in a sarcastic voice.
"I am," Liz said spitefully.
"If you're so much better than me, then why, in all the months that we've been together, did you not realize that I was a half blood?" Harry asked, hoping to make her see the idiocy of what she was telling him.
"Why didn't you tell me in the beginning?" Liz asked tearfully.
"Gee, I'm sorry if you didn't read it in one of the millions of articles printed about me in the past twenty-two years, but don't blame me because you're ignorant," Harry said, slamming the charms book closed.
"I'm not—" Liz began to argue.
"And if we're blaming each other at the moment, why don't you also explain to me why you didn't tell me Malfoy was your cousin?" Harry said before she could make another pathetic attempt at defending herself.
"I loved you and you betrayed me," Liz said as though she had been trying to say this for a long time.
"I did nothing of the sort," Harry said, trying to take a deep breath, feeling his face turning red with anger.
"You never told me anything. You never even bothered to tell me about your life. I told you everything—" Liz said in a cold and hateful voice.
"Some things don't need to be told," Harry said, trying to blink back tears.
"I loved you and you betrayed me," Liz said again.
"You didn't love me. You used me. You liked the attention you got for dating me. The stories that I never bothered to read, you did. You loved it all. Now get out," Harry said with hate in his voice.
"Fine, I guess this is over then," Liz screamed at him.
"It's been over, it's just official now. Now get out of my apartment," Harry screamed at her.
"I don't need telling twice," Liz said and with a pop she was gone.
Out of his life forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Elizabeth left, Harry got a bottle of fire whiskey out of his cabinet, threw himself on the couch, and drank. He drank for hours until he could no longer feel the anger and hurt that Liz had left him with.
In all honesty, he had loved her for a long time. He had never really been in love with her, but he could have fallen and now that she was gone, it felt as though his heart had been ripped out of his chest and fed back to him: one bite at a time.
A noise, knocking on the window over the sink took Harry out of his thoughtful drunken reverie. He got off of the couch to go let Hedwig in.
"Hey, Hedwig," Harry said dejectedly as he opened the window to his snowy white owl.
Hedwig hopped into the room looking very proud of herself for catching the mouse which was now in her beak.
"You up for a delivery tonight?" Harry asked the owl as she dropped the mouse on the cabinet and nipped him on the hand affectionately.
Harry took that as a yes and walked over to the small desk in the corner of the kitchen, sat down, and pulled out a quill and parchment and wrote a letter that was long overdue.
Dear Hermione,
How are things in Greece? Sorry about our argument before the wedding. I had no right to imply that you shouldn't marry Victor. It's your life and your decision.
You might wonder what the other reason I have for writing this letter is. Liz and I just broke up. In one day, she managed to ruin all my feelings for her. She said that you and I wouldn't be friends after you got married, she suggested that I have Lexi transferred, she's Malfoy's cousin, and she no longer has feelings for me either on the account of me being a half blood. Just when you start to think you know someone, eh?
Best wishes,
Harry
