-PART 2-
Edyn knew that Draco was a better runner and he would soon catch up to her, so she tried to erase any evidence that she had beencrying but her makeup was smudged all down her pale cheeks. Draco grabbed her arm and spun her around. Not a word came out of his mouth as he studied her face.
"What are you doing with her!" A voice shrieked from the end of the corridor, sure enough Pansy Parkinson came running followed by Crabbe and Goyle.
A panic-stricken expression slowly went on Draco's face, what was he doing with her? He quickly regained his composure, and placed a false smug expression on his face "Yes, Mudblood, why don't you answer that one?"
Little did Draco know that as soon as those words reached her ears... her world fell apart. She turned and ran. Hoping that she could run from it all, all her emotions, run away from Malfoy's hurtful words... from everything.
(3 Weeks Later)
Edyn was staring at her wall, thinking of the day that she thought Malfoy changed. But no, that horrid Slytherin would never change. Her thoughts were interrupted when the doorbell went. She quickly checked in a mirror to make sure her makeup and hair were fine and went down the stairs.
"Don't bother, I'll get it Madamoiselle Edyn" Her servant called out and opened the door. There stood the last person Edyn ever wanted to see Draco Malfoy. But something was different, he was wearing muggle clothes, but he also wasn't wearing his usual smirk.
"Leave me alone, Malfoy!"
"Edyn... please, something happened three weeks ago, something I can't explain... I wanted to talk"
As soon as she heard those words the servant quickly rushed away.
"Talk about what? How you were trying to butter me up so you could use me like every other girl!"
A tear escaped his eye, and Edyn realized... he was just as confused, she realized he must have spent the last three weeks thinking about what happened too.
He let himself inside the Ardette Manor and they both walked up to her bedroom. It was usually neat and tidy, but lately it had been covered with pages ripped out from her journal, filled with poems, and stories... love stories.
"Edyn, lately I've felt confused, something happened, if my father ever found out that I am here he would murder me. But for once in my life I wished I didn't have a father like him, I wished I'd never said those things about Mudbloods, about you... I wished my friends didn't expect me to fall in love with only purebloods, because I can't do that any more, I've fallen in love with someone else, you, Edyn. I love you, the way your eyes twinkle, the way you laugh, the way you play with your hair in class, I love everything about you..."
By now Edyn's face was drenched in tears, "How do I know you don't say that to every other girl? How do I know you love me and only me, how do I know that you'd love me forever, how do I know if I love you too? How will we keep it a secret?"
"We won't..."
"How will our friends react?"
"Look! Edyn, I don't know and for the next 3 times your going to ask these question, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!"
Draco stared at her, but when he opened his mouth to say something else, she gave him a soft kiss.
"I'm sorry. It's been so hard lately, Ron and Hermione are getting closer, and the only real friend I have now is Ginny, and we barely see eachother. When Harry and Ron joke, they always joke about me, my looks, the way I am "obsessed" with work... and I've had it! I always fantasize that I'm surrounded by a group of my best girlfriends, and I have a perfect boyfriend... but when my world comes crashing back down to reality, I realize I don't have that!"
Edyn was sobbing now, and leaning into Draco's shoulder. He hugged her and they sat like that for a while,until the bedroom door was flown open and Lucius Malfoy walked in.
"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing with that Mudblood!"
"Don't you dare call her that! It's been going so fast, but for once in my life, Father, I feel this is right, I feel this is the girl I want to be with! There's nothing you can do, I know that she's a mudblood, I know that you wished I would marry a girl from a pureblood family. But I refuse to let you order me around!" Draco yelled out, but he softened his voice after a while and said "Look, Dad, I know that you want things to be the way YOU like them... but I love her, and I know she doesn't love me yet... but it still feels so right, I love the way she doesn't worship me like every other girl you set me up with. Dad although she's not your first choice... she probably isn't even your last choice, but I feel this is right, I want to be with her forever, and I love her... and being your son, I know you love me, and Mother always says she just wants me to be happy, but when I see Edyn I am happy. I didn't talk to her much at school, but now I will talk to her, I will do whatever it takes for her to love me back!"
Lucius and Edyn stared at Draco, shocked. Lucius just walked out furiously, but as soon as he was gone, Edyn jumped up and kissed Draco, as tears flowed down her face... "I can't believe you did that, you stood up to your father for me... a muggle-born. No one would ever do that for me!"
