A/N: Don't worry there's still Kyra/Harry romance! Oh btw, please don't mind some spelling errors. My mind was kind of blank writing this chapter.
Chapter 2 – Tension
A month after Draco and Marty broke up, it was time that Hogwarts students to go Diagon Alley to buy supplies for the new school year. Marty decided to meet up with Kyra and everyone else at the Diagon Café. That morning, Marty and her parents decided to go through London to get to Diagon Alley. After the magic "code" on the brick wall, they reached Diagon Alley.
"Mum I need a new cauldron…" said Marty as she looked at her list.
"Oh okay dear." Said her mother. "Your father and I will go get you your books and you can go get your cauldron. Aren't you meeting friends today?"
"Actually I am…" said Marty. "I'll meet you after I get my cauldron then I'll go to the café."
"Sure thing. Run along now." Her mother said. Marty went to buy herself a cauldron and saw the least person she think she would see.
"Marty?" a voice said as Marty was taking a look at some cauldrons.
"Oh hey!" She turned around and saw Cho. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh I'm here with Dean actually. You know, just helping him out." Cho smiled.
"Ah I see…" Marty smiled. "So what have you been up to? Since you know you're out of Hogwarts and all."
"Oh I'm going to be staying at Hogwarts for a year just to teach." Said Cho. "I heard Madam Hooch needs an assistant so I signed up for it."
"Hey that's good." Said Marty as she brought the cauldron she wanted to the cashier.
"So how's Malfoy?" asked Cho.
"That will be 4 galleons." Said the woman at the register. Marty kept silent after Cho had ask her the question and paid the woman.
"Marty?" Cho wondered.
"Thank you." Marty took the bag with the cauldron in it and started walking towards the door. "Well…we broke up."
"WHAT?!" Cho's jaws dropped. "Why?! How?! When?! Why?!"
"I thought that we should you know see other people." Said Marty as they started walking up the alley.
"WHY?!" Cho asked.
"You know, what if we could be happier? Come on, don't you ever think that maybe he might not be the one?" said Marty.
"Who said he has to be." Said Cho. Marty sighed. "Marty, as long as you're happy, why worry about being happier?"
"It's too late, we've broken up. And honestly, I think we need space." Marty said as she entered Flourish and Botts.
"Well I don't know Marty…" Cho shook her head. "I honestly think you shouldn't have done that. But you know, it's your choice. And I gotta get going, I'll see you around."
"Bye." Marty sighed but began to look for her parents in the crowded bookstore.
"Marty!" called Marty's father.
"Coming dad!" said Marty as she pushed through the crowd.
"You have your cauldron?" he asked.
"Oh yeah right here." She handed him the bag.
"Okay then." Said her father as he took the bag. "We'll meet you in front of the café in…two hours?"
"Sounds good." Said Marty. "See you then."
Marty walked out of Flourish and Botts and headed down the alley to the Diagon Café. She walked inside and saw Ron and Hermione sitting in the corner talking.
"Hermione!" Marty smiled.
"Marty I haven't seen you all summer!" Hermione hugged her. "So how's everything?"
"Umm..." said Marty as she took a seat. "Well everything's fine! So anyways, where's Kyra and Harry?"
"Harry said he's checking out the Quidditch shop so he'll be here any minute." Said Ron as he looked out the window. Suddenly at the door, Kyra walked in hand-in-hand with Harry.
"Marty!" Kyra smiled as she gave her a hug.
"Hey Harry." Marty smiled as Harry gave her a kiss on the cheek. "So how's everything?"
"Oh everything's fine." Said Harry as he took a seat.
"Marty where's your boy?" asked Kyra.
"Well…that's what I wanted to tell you guys." Said Marty as she took a deep breathe. "We broke up last month."
Hermione let out a big gasp and Kyra's jaws dropped. "Why?" Harry asked first.
"Well I needed some space and I also thought that we should see other people." Marty replied.
"Just like that!?" Kyra looked at her. "You went through a lot just to get him and you quit on him?!"
"Kyra's right Marty." Said Hermione. "I mean…you guys get along so well."
"Even I agree." Ron nodded.
"I don't know. I just thought I needed some space." Marty sighed. Suddenly, Lucius Malfoy came in the café followed by Draco.
"There he is right now." Said Harry.
Unfortunately, Lucius had walked over to their table. "Hello Marty. Everyone." He raised an eyebrow but seemed very calm.
"Hello Mr. Malfoy." Everyone greeted as Ron and Harry said it in monotone voices. Marty knew that Draco hasn't told his father about the breakup. Marty would think it would be weird if he didn't do her usual routine. She got up and kissed his father on the cheek. Draco looked at Marty and they just touched their cheeks together.
"So…" Marty tried to hide the tension. "Everything fine as usual?" She smiled.
"Oh yes of course." Lucius smiled. "I trust everything is good with everyone else as well?"
"Of course Mr. Malfoy." Kyra answered.
"Good." He smiled. "Well I must be off. Draco are you sure you don't want to…stay?" He was still a bit keen about Marty being friends with Harry, but he thought it would be okay. Of course, it took a while for him to accept it.
"Oh, um no I have got a lot of things to do at home father." Draco replied glancing at Marty who gave him a weird look.
"Ah I see then. Well we shall be on our way now. Goodbye." He walked out the door and just before Draco left, Marty called him back.
"Draco!" Marty called.
"What?" He wondered as they talked at the door.
"You haven't told your father haven't you?" asked Marty.
"Actually…" he said. "No I haven't."
"Draco you have to tell him sometime." Said Marty. "We can't act like we're still together when you know we're not."
They both looked each other in the eye. "Alright. I'll tell him tonight."
"Good. Well, I'll see you at school." Marty walked away as Draco went outside to follow his father.
