Chapter Fourteen Extra: The Confession
This is a cut scene that takes place in the infirmary. Harry had just caught the snitchwhen Draco, Harry and Victoria collided on their brooms and fell to the ground, whereupon Victoria blacked out.It wascut because the characters didn't act appropriately and the confession was too soon for my liking.
"Blurrblahblehleh? Blah bleh blahblurr? Blahtoria? Are you awake?" someone asked.
Victoria groaned and opened her eyes.
Harry's green ones stared back at her.
"I am now…" she croaked.
"Oh good. Listen, we need you to tell Jordan who won the match, he won't believe Draco or me without an unbiased opinion." He said.
Blinking, she tried to sit up, but the pain in her chest was too much.
"Ok, fine. Tell him Draco won. He got the snitch first." She groaned.
"That's what I said, but the thing is, when you hit us, he dropped the snitch, and it fell into my hand. When Madame Hooch saw it she thought I had caught it first, and declared that Gryffindor won." He explained miserably.
"Oh…" she remembered something like this… "wait, what was it Hermione said? 'The match was given to Yugoslavia because the referee missed seeing who caught the snitch first, and therefore looked at who still held it. It's standard rules. If the catch is undecided, whoever holds it wins.' So I guess those rules still apply…" she declared.
"But that's not fair." Harry stated.
"Tell me about it." Another voice added.
Turning her head, she saw Draco sitting in a chair nearby.
"How long have you been there?" she asked weakly.
"Since the boy-who-cheated brought you up here." He replied prissily.
"I didn't cheat!" Harry said bitterly.
"You did too. You stole my glory, you bastard. You always steal my glory!" Draco spat, rising from his chair.
"I do not! And I said I was sorry, didn't I? What the hell is your problem, Draco?" Harry asked.
"You're my problem! If you had never been born, I would have been happy! We would never have met, Sirius would never have adopted you, mother would never have met him, and Tori would be a normal Slytherin!" he replied hotly.
"A normal Slytherin? You mean a conniving, backstabbing bitch?" Harry stated.
Draco sat back down.
"Sorry…" he apologized to her.
"Did you just say 'sorry'?" Harry asked.
"Yes, what about it?" Draco answered.
"You never say apologize to us… and you never call her Tori… what's going on!" Harry demanded.
"Nothing." Victoria and Draco answered simultaneously.
Harry glanced from one pink face to a worried frown.
"Alright, spill you two." He said roughly.
"You explain." Victoria nominated Draco.
"Alright…" he sighed. "Recently, Tori and I have experienced certain, changes. Ones for the better, I hope. We have taken a liking to one another, which has spurred into other restricted areas. As a result, an interesting relationship has formed."
"What kind of relationship?" Harry asked suspiciously.
"The love/hate kind." Draco answered.
There it was in black in white. Draco had admitted it. Not only did they have a forbidden relationship, but it was one of the most complex kinds. A love/hate relationship certainly explained how she felt about him.
'I'm in love with… Draco Malfoy?'
BUM BUM BUM! As you can see, Draco knows far too much about Tori's history and takes too much of an interest in the speculation that she would have been better as a 'normal slytherin' while Harry is to nosy and suspicious and slytherin-like. Overall they just don't act liek their characters should, so this scene was cut and the chapter ended.
