A/N: Yup writing more fanfics again! I'm working on this and finishing
"Mutant Counterpart" at the same time. Uh huh...anyways this is the sequel to
"The Crush." Just a bit of a recap (If you didn't read it, I suggest you
read it first then this), "The Crush" was about Marty, who switches bodies
with Cho, to get the chance of a lifetime on getting Draco's attention. As
we all know, she did that quite well. So moving on...it's their last year at
Hogwarts and things take a turn. No prologue for this...but just a hint...the
old "switcheroo" is back (yeah I know corny lol).
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters (except those I made up) and they all belong to JK Rowling.
The Crush: Division
Chapter 1 – Why?
It's the summer before Marty's seventh year at Hogwarts. All summer she's been keeping in touch with her friends, like Kyra and Hermione, along with some other guy friends (Harry and Ron), and of course not to mention her boyfriend, Draco Malfoy. It's been about four months since they started going out, and they have been spending quality time together. On a Saturday morning, Marty decided to go over to Draco's house.
"Good morning Mrs. Malfoy, is Draco awake yet?" Marty asked at the doorstep after she knocked.
"Oh yes I think he is. Please come in." She opened the door wider and let Marty sit on the couch. As time progressed, Draco's parents eventually liked her. It took some time, but they got used to it. "Draco darling! Marty's here!"
"Who?" Draco yawned. He was still in his bed, hair all messed up, and his head under the pillow.
"It's Marty." His mother said. She opened the curtains. "Get up now dear. You don't want to keep her waiting."
"Ugh." Draco groaned as got up, went to the bathroom to splash his face with water and brush his teeth, and went downstairs to meet Marty. "Morning." He smiled.
"Hey." Marty smiled back as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"You're here so early." Draco said as he yawned again.
"Well, I think we should go for a walk." Said Marty looking at Draco's morning face.
"Walk?" Apparently Draco was still in his plaid pants and white shirt. "Alright then." He opened the door for Marty as they stepped outside the door. They began walking down the street, passing by the house in his neighborhood. He put his arm around her shoulder as they continued walking.
"So...how's everything?" Marty asked. Draco gave her a strange look.
"Fine I guess..." Draco knew that something was up. She wouldn't normally ask how he's doing because she knew he's been doing okay. She'd usually start talking about something that she's excited for or what had happened. The walk was kind of weird enough. "Why? What's up?"
"Oh um," Marty shrugged. "nothing."
Draco raised an eyebrow. "Okay...there has to be something. Come on you can tell me."
"That's the thing." Said Marty. She then took his hand as he followed her to sit on a bench. "Draco..."
Draco suddenly got a strange feeling in his stomach. He felt his heart beating a little faster than usual as he listened to what she wanted to say.
"We've been together for about four months right?" Marty looked into his eyes.
"Yeah..." Draco said slowly. Many thoughts started forming in his head. Oh no, she's not gonna do what I think she is...is she?
"Well..." Marty took a deep breathe. "I think, we shouldn't see each other anymore."
Draco's jaw dropped. He was at first speechless, but then even more thoughts were rushing through his brain. But the first word that he said was, "Why?"
"Draco, it's not you." Said Marty. "I know stupid line but I'm serious. There's nothing wrong with you and I'm not even gonna say it's me. I just honestly think that maybe we should see other people."
"...why?" Draco's eyes widened.
"To the honest truth you haven't done anything wrong. I just really think that maybe if we see other people, we can get to learn a lot. Think of it as a learning experience." Marty shrugged.
"You're breaking up with me for a learning experience?" Draco stared at Marty.
"No!" Marty bit her lip. "I...I just think that probably, we could be happier than we are. You know?"
Draco sighed. "I'm not making you happy huh?"
"No! Of course not!" said Marty. "I just think that what if we could both be happier. I mean sure we know we're happy, but what if that's not the greatest thing?"
Draco understood her. Although he felt sad inside, he knew that somehow, maybe it is true. What if there's another girl that could possibly be a better girlfriend than Marty? "What if..." He murmured.
"Hm?" Marty wondered.
"Maybe we should see other people." Said Draco. "I mean, I see your point. It brings so many questions in my head that need answers."
"So you're okay?" Marty asked.
"Of course." Draco let out a little smile. He stood up from the bench. "Well, I guess I'll see you when school starts."
"Yeah." Marty got up and smiled. "Thanks."
"No problem." He hugged her as she kissed him on the cheek. "See ya."
"Bye." She watched him walk away.
