Chapter 13: Heartbreaker
"What do you mean something bad?" Neville questioned, now shaking backing away from Harry.
"Never mind Neville," Harry said turning towards the window. They all sat there not saying anything before a Fred and George walked in.
"Hey don't get undressed the Balls going to continue in a little bit."
"It's safe now?" Harry turned around and questioned.
Fred gave him a suspicious look, "Well I'm guessing if it wasn't safe before its safe now if there letting us back down there."
"Do you know what happened Harry?" George asked curiously.
"No Snape just ran and took me up here before Dumbledore could even explain what happened."
"Oh," Fred and George said together, "Well we'll see you guys back down there in a little bit, they said in about 30 minutes.
"Okay," Ron said, "see you."
In 30 minutes everyone was back in the Great Hall. Harry and Ron walked down to the great hall for the second time that night to see once again everyone dressed up and dancing, But before they reached the bottom of the stairs Snape walked up to them.
"Harry I do not want you going outside Hogwarts Grounds, not even near the boarders. We put a protection shield up around but I still prefer you to be inside the castle at all times tonight. Do you understand?"
"Yes professor," Harry said as Snape walked away.
"What happened Harry?" Ron asked stopping.
"Dumbledore saw something in the Great Hall that he thinks has something to do with Lord Voldemort and they think he wants to try attacking the school. He wouldn't tell me what he saw he just said if my scar started to hurt to come to a teacher immediately because if Voldemort does come back my scar will let me know."
"Wait, Dumbledore saw something?"
"Yeah, why?" Harry said questionly.
"Because I was watching and Shiann ran up to Dumbledore and started to point to something at the front of the Great Hall and then she told Snape and that's when he ran to get you."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm positive, and then I saw pansy and Draco making out."
Harry laughed, "We tried telling her Draco was no good."
"Hey Guys," Harry and Ron turned around to see Hermione walking towards them, "Guys I'm really sorry about Victor and all and I know you may be right Harry but I've been talking to Victor since the Tri-wizard tournament and I really like him and for the first time he likes me back. And I know you guys don't like him now but I really wish you could just give him a second chance, because I'd rather have two best friends then a boyfriend."
Ron and Harry smiled at her, "its okay Hermione." Hermione smiled.
"But come here we got to tell you something." Harry and Ron told her what had happened, "That doesn't make any sense," Hermione whispered after Ron and Harry had finished.
"I know, how would Shiann know about Voldemort and how he's suppose to come back or anything?" Harry said.
"I don't know but we defiantly have to ask her about it very soon, because if she knows she can be a BIG help to us and to let Harry know what's going on," Hermione replied.
"But you would think she would have told us earlier," Ron questioned, "She must not want us to know,"
"I don't know, but we'll worry about it after the Ball. Come on," Hermione said.
"Wow that's the first time I ever heard Hermione say worry about it later," Harry joked as they walked to the Great Hall.
SHIANN AND DRACO
Draco came down from the Great Hall and started looking for Shiann. He hoped she didn't see him and pansy but even if she didn't he knew he would have to tell her. He saw Hermione, Harry, and Ron at he bottom of the stairs. He ran to catch up to them.
"Hey do you know where Shiann is Hermione?"
Hermione turned around "Yeah she's still up in the dorms."
"Is she coming down?"
"I don't know she seemed pretty upset about something, but Cho's with her so she'll probably get her to come down."
Draco sighed, "Great,"
"Why what happened?" Hermione questioned glaring at him.
"He made out with Pansy in the middle the of Great Hall right before we were told to go up in the dorms," Ron said casually now glaring at Draco too.
"What!" Hermione practically screamed, "How could you do that to her Draco? I was seriously thinking maybe Shiann would help straighten you out and not be such a jerk all the time and I thought it was maybe working and then you go and do that!"
"I didn't kiss pansy she kissed me!"
"Draco, just leave Shiann alone, she's got every guy in school after her and she doesn't need to waste time with you," Harry said as all three of them turned around and walked away.
Draco walked up to the first stair and sat down.
"Troubles?"
He got up and spun around to see pansy and three of her friends.
"Leave me alone pansy!"
"Why it doesn't look like Shiann's going to be with you tonight, might as well spend it with me"
"You know what pansy? Voting for me for Mr. Hogwarts, trying to break my dates with Shiann, trying to get other guys to ask Shiann out, making out with me in front of everyone, all that's not gonna make me stop liking Shiann. She might hate me now but that's just something I've got the rest of the school year to try and fix. I'll never like you again. Ever. So you might as well give up now."
"I'll be waiting for you when you change your mind."
"You'll be waiting forever then." Draco said as he turned around and started walking away, before Cho popped out from behind something.
"Hi," Draco said looking down, "Did you hear all of that?"
"Yeah," she glared at Pansy and her friends, "I did hear all of that,"
Pansy turned and walked away.
"Shiann knows I'm guessing?" Draco questioned.
"Yeah she's real upset. I think she already got out of her dress and everything."
"Can you help me out and let me in the tower?"
"I don't know Gryffindors password, but I got an idea. Come on."
Cho took him to the entrance to the Gryffindor tower. She had him wait a little off to the side so that the fat lady wouldn't see him and tell Shiann. She walked up to the portrait.
"Can you please help me out and get Shiann. She's all alone in the dorm and everyone's waiting for her downstairs."
"Well I can't let you in but I can run upstairs to the portrait of Dumbledore in the Girls Dorm and try to get her downstairs if you would like?"
"Could you please?" Cho asked.
"Of course dear," the fat lady said and she glided out of the picture frame.
Cho turned and Draco looked around the corner, "Thanks so much!" Draco said, "You really helped me out,"
"I think I helped Shiann more, she needs to hear this from you and me. She really likes you a lot and I know it really hurts her that you made out with pansy."
Just then the fat lady came back to the picture.
"Well is she coming?" Cho asked but before she could answer Shiann opened the Gryffindor door. She had black tear stained eyes and she was now changed out of her dress and into pink shorts and a white tank top. Her hair and what was left of her makeup was still down though.
"What's up?" Shiann said her voice cracking.
"I just went to walk downstairs and I heard Draco tell off pansy for good."
Shiann looked down. Draco was going to come out from behind the corner but he wanted to hear what Cho was going to say
"He said nothing she does is going to make him stop liking you so she might as well give up. So do you want to get ready and come back down?"
"Not really. Cho it takes two to make out and you know that and it was obvious he wasn't trying to stop her."
"Well then you should talk to Draco about that," she turned around and started walking away and Draco walked out. Shiann went to go back in the tower.
"Shiann please," Draco said, "Will you let me explain myself?"
She turned around, "what's there to explain?"
He stood there for a moment not knowing what to say, he stuttered a moment before gaining enough confidence. "I didn't mean to hurt you at all, and honestly I don't know why I let her kiss me, and I don't know why I didn't stop right away. But you have to believe me that I like you so much and you're so fun and you're the only one I want to be with. And I understand if you hate me and if you don't ever want to talk to me again and that's fine but I'll spend every day of my life trying to fix it, because you're worth it and you deserve it."
She walked up to him and gave him a hug and he could tell she started crying again.
"Don't cry,"
"I know it's just I really started to like you, and it really sucked seeing you make out with pansy and even though I know you really sorry it doesn't take away from the fact that you did it,"
"I know. I'm stupid but please give me another chance, please,"
She stepped back, "let's just start over,"
"Okay," Draco said somewhat relived, "Well then do you maybe want to go back to the dance with me?"
"Sure," she smiled, "But not like this hold on," she walked in the common room for a couple of minutes before coming back out looking twice as nice as before. They walked down to the ball and Draco ignored the faces made by pansy and her friends. They walked down by Cho, Harry, and Ron. Cho smiled at her, she had already told Harry and Ron what had happened but Ron was still mad and unforgiving of Draco. Ron gave Draco a nasty look as Shiann sat down next to Cho and Draco stood behind them. The boys didn't say one word to each other. Then two older boys walked by Shiann, they were laughing as they stopped, "Hey Shiann, you still going out with that scumbag after him and Pansy locked lips?" Draco stepped forwards as Shiann put her hand out in front of him, "Even if I wasn't I wouldn't even think about hooking up with you so it doesn't matter,"
The two boys stopped laughing as they walked past. Shiann turned around annoyed to face Ron and Harry, "I hate guys." Cho laughed, but Ron just sat there staring down Draco.
"So are you?" Rona asked Shiann.
"Am I what?"
"Still going out with him or even forgiving him after what he did?"
"I don't know maybe, does it matter to you?" Shiann was almost yelling.
"Yea it does matter to me that Draco can do whatever he wants and you still fall all over him. There are tons of other guys that would treat you way better and you don't even care."
"There isn't another guy in this whole school that proved to me that he liked me as much as Draco did,"
"Oh and is making out with his ex proving to you he likes you?"
Shiann just looked down. Cho and Harry exchanged nervous glances.
"You know the only reason you care so much is because your jealous," Draco said casually.
"No I just care about Shiann," Ron shot back.
"Care about Shiann? I've been with her everyday this whole year! And all the times I'm not with her I'm thinking about her!"
Ron sat there staring at Draco, "You made out with your ex!"
"And that's the stupidest thing I've ever done and I've already yelled at pansy and straightened things out with her and I've already apologized to Shiann and I'm not expecting her to forgive me, and if starting over is the best thing right now then I will because I'm not losing Shiann."
Ron looked down, as a slow song came on. Harry and Cho started dancing along with Shiann and Draco. Ron sat there alone watching everyone glide across the dance floor. He sat there alone as everyone walked off in their own ways throughout the night. He sat there as people came and left the table, as people slowly started walking back to their dorms. Finally he thought he should get up and leave. As he got up he saw Shiann walking towards him. She was alone.
"Hey you going up to the tower?" she questioned.
"Yeah, what are you doing?"
"Walking with you," She smiled as they started walking up the stairs to the Gryffindor tower, "Where's Harry and Hermione?"
"He's out with Cho, and she's with Victor.So what happened to Draco?"
"He asked if I wanted to hang out longer but I thought we should just take things slow."
"Good Idea," Ron said under his breath.
"Hey Ron," Ron looked up, "You're a real good friend,"
Ron looked puzzled, "Okay?"
"You have to care about me a lot to stick up to Draco about treating me right and all,"
Ron smiled, "Yeah I guess I do,"
Shiann smiled as they hooked arms and walked the rest of the way to the Gryffindor tower.
