CHAPTER 6: VOICES
Destiny is loosing her patience. It's been an hour now since she started to look for a particular book that she needed for her Potions homework, but it seems that the book that Professor Flint suggested does not exist. Except of course if they only have a limited copy of that book and it was all out. Destiny frowned in desperation. She shouldn't't be in the library; here she was, trying to find a book while all her friends are on the pitch practicing Quidditch.
Why on earth would that Professor Flint gave them homework about a Potion that he learned during his Hogwarts years? To make matters worst, that Potion can only be found in old books. She walks to the far corner of the library, searching every bookshelf hoping to find the particular book that she needs. Sometimes she would think that Professor Flint is a bit psycho. Yes, it's only normal for teachers to give them endless homework, but isn't it strange when someone like him mistaken her brother for someone else. There were times when Professor Flint would call her brother "Draco". It was a strange name and she never heard it before. Well, she doesn't't know anybody that that looks exactly like her brother, aside from their father, but it was impossible. All their life they knew that their parents didn't know anything about magic. For Merlin's sake, they were born and raised in a muggle community. Not unless if their parents are hiding something from their past, which is totally forbidden to discuss in their family.
It was then she heard voices not far from the restricted area. Destiny ignored it; she does not care if Miss Brown, the librarian, yells at those students. After all, it's none of her business.
She searched every shelf once again. This time she decided that if she never finds the book, she'd just have to wait until the book becomes available. The voices become louder and louder. It seems that it was a mere argument between couples. Destiny walks closer to the restricted area. The voices were rather annoying, and she can't take it any more. She walks not far from the owner of the voices, hiding her self behind the large book shelves.
Then she walks closer, where she saw a girl and a boy standing in the corner. The guy has silvery blonde hair and the girl has red crimson hair. But she cannot see their faces; it was dark where they are standing.
"That's none of your business Weasley!" it was a low hiss.
"I know that Malfoy and you don't have to remind me."
"Why Weasley, you finally have the courage to tell other people what to do?"
"As a prefect, it's my responsibility to tell other people that snogging in the library is not acceptable. You should know that Malfoy because you're a Head boy."
"You're just jealous."
"Why would I be?"
"First I'm rich and second I can do whatever I want. I cannot blame you for that. And honestly, I pity my self for someone like you, who wears hand me down robes."
"Don't flatter your self Malfoy. And I don't need your pity. Why would I feel jealous for someone like you? Yes, you're rich and everything, but are you happy with what you have right now? And if I'm not mistaken, you will become a death eater someday. "
"Watch your language Weasley, because who knows that it will be your last!"
"=I'm not scared of you if that's what you're trying to say."
"I'm not scaring you. I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just telling you."
"Then sod off Malfoy. I don't need your advice and please, next time you're here snogging someone in the library, make sure that I'm not around. Who knows that it will be your last, and we don't want to be sacked up being a head boy, right?" and she walks away.

After Destiny found the book that she was looking for, she hurried to the pitch, hoping that her friends were still there. There was desperation in her face when she reached the pitch. Nobody was there; the pitch was empty, except for two people who were sitting in the far corner of the stand. She was about to leave until she recognized that it was Jet and Pamela. Maybe she could call them and ask them where are the rest of the team, it was then they started to kiss each other. Destiny just sighed and decided to just leave them alone.
Maybe she'll just have to wait for them in the Great Hall. She was thinking if I would be nice if she'll ask the both of them what was going between the two of them. She noticed before, that the both of them were acting strangely during the past few weeks. Why does it have to be Jet and Pamela? Didn't Pamela fancy James Potter, and then all of a sudden she's making out with her brother? But wait, isn't it you who fancy James Potter? Asked the inner voice inside of her. Me? Potter? No way! Her mind protested. She wasn't looking her way when she accidentally bumps into someone. Her books scattered on the floor, she knelt down and started to pick up her things.
"Sorry about that, I wasn't looking my way," it was a voice of a guy. That voice sounds like…
"Potter!" she said, she looks into his eyes. Oh those eyes are beautiful and those lips they look so perfect. I wonder how it feels to be kissed by him.
"McBride?"
"Y..yes," she said finally waking up from her dreams. "Are you saying something?"
"I said I'm sorry," said James and he started to pick Destiny's book.
"Oh! It was my fault, well, I was preoccupied with something that I didn't't noticed that someone was coming my way," she stated. James look at her with confusion.
"Here's your book," he handed it to her. She takes the book from his hand, their hands touched each other and it was James who withdraws first.
Why do I have this strange feeling every time I look at her?
"Thanks," she said and she got up.
"Your welcome," he replied, not looking at her, trying to hide his face because he was blushing.
"So I'll see you in class then?"
"Okay."
And they went on their separate ways.
~*~*~*~*
That night Destiny couldn't sleep. She was thinking about James Potter. She was thinking about James Potter, and she hates it when someone invades her thoughts. She decided to read a book that was written by her mother. No luck, his face keeps coming back into her head. She looks around the room she shares with Pamela. It was not dark and she can see that Pamela is already fast asleep on her own bed. Pamela is a prefect, that's why she has her own room and she asked permission from Professor Flint if Destiny could share a room with her. They were lucky enough because Flint granted their favour.
Destiny got up from her bed and she started to flip through the book that she borrowed from the library. It was an old book. It was an old book published about 25 years ago. It was then she noticed a very old parchment tucked between the pages of the book. Destiny picked it up and started to read it.
My beloved Virginia,
Why do you have to worry about what people would say about our relationship? Is it because our families have been enemies for over centuries? Why do you have to fear everything that surrounds us? Isn't it enough that I love you and you are the only one that matters to me? Are my words not enough for you? I have already proven to you how much I love you, and yet you want more. I love you Ginny…now and always be. You are the only one I love and nobody can take that away from me.
You are the song that plays into my heart.
You are the air that I breathe that keeps me alive.
You are the only one for me and no one else.
I will love you forever and that's a promise…
If I can't be with you,
Then I'd rather die alone and die loving you…
Because you'll always be mine…
Yours forever,
Draco Malfoy
TO BE CONTINUED…
