Don't Give In
Chapter 8 but I'll say chapter nine so that the numbers don't get all mixed
up.
I hope you all like it and I'm sorry about the really long time it took me
to update..
WOOHOOOO!!! My plot is great!!!
Draco had forgotten every one else in his life during those last 2 months. Every minute he'd usually spend with Crabbe, Goyle or Pansy was now spent with Snape. He had even forgotten about quiditch and sometimes didn't even bother to tease Harry, bully Ron or sneer at Hermione. Severus had become an addiction and the added hormones of teenage life didn't help keeping away from the teacher.
He came down for breakfast after having spent his first night, since meeting Snape, completely alone. The bed had been cold and the night lonely. His imagination had kept him awake imagining things that kept his heart warm. As he sat on the slytherin table he sadly looked up towards the empty seat where Snape should have been, looking back at him.
He sighed and looked around. Crabbe and Goyle were sitting on the other end of the table conversing loudly with pansy. The two seats next to him were empty, no, not only the two seats he noticed, but no one actually sat close to him. Even more depressed Draco started eating.
He had his last gulp of pumpkin juice and looked up. It wasn't so early now and more people crowded the dinning hall. Looking up from his table he scanned through the other ones. Ravenclaws sat bunched up together in the two extreme ends of the table. One end was finishing up their advanced arithmancy homework and the other was trading chocolate frog cards with the Hufflepuffs.
Now looking upon them, he saw that not many were up. Those lazy Hufflepuff morons were still sleeping.. something he himself hadn't been able to do all night.
His eyes ran down the Gryffindor table. All sitting as one big family, laughing and smiling so early already!! He looked at all of their faces, each and every one was happy.. that is.. except one. His eyes met a set of green ones staring straight towards him. Harry Potter, a boy Draco had many times gone out of his way to bother but still, the boy held no grudge against him and asked, genuinely concerned, what was wrong. Harry mouthed the words though he didn't need to, his eyes had told Draco what he meant already.
Draco didn't know how to react. He stoop up and left the room. How could that.. boy know what he was feeling. No.. he didn't know what he was feeling, at least not why. But how could he know there was something wrong. Was everything that evident. Well, if harry new something had changed then many others would too. Draco had many admirers, foolish slytherin girls who had nothing better to do that gossip about him and write on each others diaries how much they adored him.. well.. those girls would have noticed too then, i mean, they didn't ever stop looking at him and paying him close attention, memorising every word he said and observing every move.
He was wrong. that evening he entered the common room.. nobody cared. No one inquired about him, no one cared..The only person who actually cared about him had been sent to a conference in Italy and was to be away for 1 and a half months. And to make things worse.. no owling was allowed to prevent people from tracking him. No, Snape wasn't the only one who cared.. Potter cared.. didn't he?! But whatever, he couldn't give in and put himself down so easily. He was sure people still liked him in his own house.
Draco went up to Crabbe and Goyle and said hi. " oh! Mm.. hello Draco.." "Don't you have to go somewhere?" asked Crabbe "no" Pansy stormed in and called the boys, thinking it strange to find them with Draco. Crabbe and Goyle left immediately and obediently followed her outside. Well, they could not like him, he thought, but they'll obviously still fear me! Frustrated, Draco went out of the common room down to his own quarters. Flicking his wand back to create a most terrible explosion of green gas that caused everyone's skin to burn. Something he had learnt from Snape.
