:-:-:
I walked back to the Common Room after saying goodbye to Harry Ron, and Ginny. They all got to go home for the holidays, but with Voldemort in full fledged murdering state, Dumbledore thought it best for the heads to stay. I didn't see why Draco had to stay; he would probably just report to his father whatever he heard. I wasn't in the best mood when I walked back; I actually bumped into a second year and said nothing giving him a dirty look. I immediately regretted it in my mind.
I continued to walk back to the common room this time looking out for younger students. Although I was sure that some of them didn't know who I was for I was wearing jeans and a jumper, and my hair was pulled back. That weren't used to me with out my uniform.
I stepped through the portrait hole and sat down on the couch picking up the book I had started earlier this morning. I was just about to begin my boring Christmas vacation.
I sat there reading for maybe 2 hours listening to Malfoy come in and 3 times, then he was gone for quite awhile. When he finally came back he made quite a racket digging around. When he got settled down at last it was too late he had got me out of my reading mood. So I got up and went to the bathroom. I locked the door and turned on the taps for the tub. I grabbed a towel and my robe off its hook. I undressed and slipped into the small pool sized tub, which was sunk into the middle of the floor.
I sat there in the bath; thinking of how truly depressing this holiday was going to be. I had to spend it with someone I really did hate, and to me a hate is a strong word. I was going to try to make this holiday a little better. My first step, buy him a Christmas present. Nothing big and something he didn't have, which would be hard. I say a new quidditch book advertised in the Daily Prophet. I would buy him that. Second . . . that one I still had to think of; it would have to be something at the same level as buying him a present. I could tell him Happy Christmas. There, nothing over the top, and I might have even done it anyway. I still had to think of one more thing I could do to make it a little more pleasant. I could wait though. Thinking of those two things had already stressed my brain enough.
I washed my hair and shaved my legs. I pulled the drain on the bath, and then reached for my towel. I got out and dried of. I put on my robe, and then put the towel in my hair. I began to walk over to the door.
I didn't notice the puddle on the floor, and walking quick I slipped and fell. I heard a large crack as I landed on my left leg. I started screaming bloody murder.
I heard someone at the door; it was Malfoy fiddling with the knob. He couldn't get it open, and then I heard, "Alohomora." The door swung open and Malfoy stepped in. He jogged over to me and looked at my leg.
"Owe," he mouthed.
Tears were streaming down my cheeks as I watched him look it over.
"It's broke," he said looking up at me.
I wanted badly to retort with, "No crap!" but I restrained myself, knowing that he might walk out on me and leave me lying on the bathroom floor with a broken leg.
I thought about how he looked at me, it seemed as if there might have been the slightest bit of a caring look in his eyes.
"This may hurt a little, but I have to do this," he said concentrating, he pulled my leg out in front of me. I shrieked in pain.
He gave me a small smirk, nothing intending to be evil, "Don't startle the whole castle."
I gave him a slightly perturbed look. He returned it with another smirk. Which were beginning to startle me for they weren't the normal Malfoy smirk; no, nothing that evil.
"Let me straighten it and then I can use the spell," he said looking down at my leg. This time I bit back my hurt, for I didn't want another of his stupid, annoying comments.
"Sceletosalubris," he said pointing his wand at my leg. There were clicking noises and then my leg went numb.
"My leg, it's . . ."
"…numb," I nodded, "That goes away in awhile," he said.
"Do you think we should go . . ."
"No, it is fine, I'm almost done with my schooling, we already learned about this, you can trust me," he said smirking. He sat down on the floor, leaving his crouching position.
"Trust him?" I thought to myself, "What the hell is going on. Three days ago I was yelling at him for reading my potions essay that had been sitting on the table." He sat there looking at me intently, not saying a thing. Then all of the sudden he started to lean in.
I felt as if I was being pulled towards him, but no one was touching me.
He got close to me; I closed my eyes, and his started to kiss me softly on my lips. I felt myself kissing him back.
Then I started thinking clearly, and pulled away. "What? Where did that come from?" I seethed.
"I don't know, the first day I say you when we came back, I noticed something different. Your beauty just shined," he looked at me, starring me in the eyes, still quite close to me
I looked him over, what was he doing? I didn't understand, and then it came to me. "You thought I was pretty and that is all you cared about."
"No that isn't . . ." he exclaimed.
"The hell it wasn't, you wanted in my pants and that was all," I fumed at him, I tried to get up, I failed at first time but managed the second, "You idiot, I'm not stupid, I know what you are up to."
"No I ment after watching you your inner-beauty shinned."
"Yeah, I'm sure that is what you ment," I yelled at him, limping towards the door.
"Don't walk on your leg, it needs 12 hours to set," he set getting up coming after me.
"Fine! Help me to my room, but that is IT!" I yelled, leaning against the wall.
He came over to me and put his arm around me. He helped me out the door. "Just listen to me, for once."
"For once, I've listened to you before unfortunately," I spat him, "Just help me to my room."
"I'm sorry, you just misunderstood what I ment," he said as we came to my door.
I opened it, Malfoy still holding onto me, "I misunderstood nothing," then slammed to door in his face.
"What the hell was that?" I asked myself. "Why the hell had I kissed him? Why the hell had he kissed me? What they hell was wrong with me? What the hell was wrong with him? How after 6 years of hating me did he just get on the train, see me in the compartment, and like me? What had changed?" I kept repeating these questions in my head, nothing was coming; no answers; nothing but anger towards myself for kissing him back, and pure hate towards him for being, well him.
I lay down on my bed, it was 3:37 in the afternoon, but I felt exhausted. Part I knew was from my broken leg, but that couldn't be all of it. It had to be so much stress from what just happened. But I had no idea how that could make me sleepy my brain was running at a 100 miles an hour. I rolled over and before I knew it I was asleep, and didn't wake up till late that night.
