Tears of Feelings
Everything
was building up now, emotions, the all sudden depression. Why, just
why did this have to happen. It was morning, the sun slightly peaked
through the small crack in the curtains. It was just enough light for
that image of a pale girl with red eyes and tears running down her
cheeks to reflect back at Raven. It was too much for her now, it
broke her down. She couldn't hold anything back, she had to let it
go. Could these tears be showing her love for someone. No they
couldn't be. A long smash broke the silence as the mirror smashed
into pieces. Somehow the mirror repaired itself, but Raven's hand was
still bleeding from the punch she had let it receive. Raven was tired
of herself now. She didn't want to see anymore of this girl, she was
an unnecessary need to everyone. As Raven walked back to her bed, she
let the blood from her wounded hand drip to the floor. Her life had
changed dramatically, and so had she.
Raven held her wounded hand
in her other one. She sighed as she looked at it. Was this what her
life had come too...punching a mirror because she was tired of seeing
herself. She held her hand tighter as she stood up and walked to the
door. She opened it and slowly walked out into the large hallway. As
she slowly walked down the hallway, she couldn't help but to think to
end it all now, take her life. She walked into the marble bathroom
and placed her hand under the sink. The cold water ran over her
wound, making it sting slightly. She looked around and found a small
piece of white cloth, just big enough to wrap around her hand. With
another sigh she took the cloth and wrapped her wound. Red
immediately took the place of white as soon as it touched the
bleeding hand.
Again, taking her life haunted her, but one person
popped in her mind that made her change. She walked out of the
bathroom, holding her wounded hand and went back to her room. When
she walked in, she expected to see an empty room, but what she saw
was a tired Draco setting on her bed.
"What'd you want,
Draco?" Raven asked harshly, trying to cover her hand so Draco
wouldn't see it. However the attempt failed, Draco had already saw
her hand.
"What did you do?"
"Why does it
matter? You don't care." Raven said, still harshly. Draco shook
his head. Why was he so caring around her. He did care...for her, but
he couldn't tell her...but maybe he could show her. He stood up from
her bed and walked over to her. He gently rubbed her arm and let his
hand cover her wounded one as he took it in his.
"Why did
you do this?"
"Why do you care so much?" Raven
wanted to jerk it away, but then again she didn't
"Because...just
tell me...please." Draco said, he sounded calm and soothing at
the same time. It wasn't like him. Usually his mean and demanding.
What happened?
"Can't a girl just get depressed without
anyone asking what's wrong?"
"To a point...but as
soon as this girl starts hurting herself..people will wonder."
He pulled Raven closer to him. He soothingly massaged her wounded
hand. He gently unwrapped it and looked at her hand. Raven jerked it
away at that point, he had seen too much.
"Raven, just let
me look at it...It's not hard to heal, with the right potion and
all, it'll be like it never happened." Draco said, he almost
sounded like he was begging her.
"Fine...do it then."
Raven said. Draco led her out of her room and up more stairs. They
came to an old wooden door. Draco opened it...It almost looked like
Snape's stash of Potions he had at Hogwarts. He led Raven in and
scanned the wooden selfs that were full of Potions.
"Found
it!" He said after a few minutes and took a vial full of a blue
looking Potion. He walked back to Raven and opened it.
"It'll
sting but it'll help." He took her hand and poured some on the
wound. Raven grimaced in pain as her skin sizzled and slowly healed
back together. Draco took the cloth and wiped up the blood. Her hand
looked like there was never a wound there, it was healed, just like
he said.
"Umm...Thanks.." Raven said.. Draco simply
smiled
"You better get dressed, Breakfast is in four
minutes." With that he left Raven. She sighed...the Draco she
had knew vanished now...he changed, a lot for that matter. All of a
sudden he wasn't the bad boy anymore. She walked out of the room and
headed back to her room. Four minutes later she arrived in the Dining
hall in just some ripped up blue jeans and a baggy black shirt. She
only seen Draco sitting there.
"Where's your parents?"
Raven asked sitting across from him.
"They're at Diagion
Alley again...They said if we want to go we can." Draco said
putting food on his plate. Raven nodded and did the same.
"So
do you?"
"I quess..." Why had she said that...
either it was hopefully to see Harry again, or to spend time with
Draco...she didn't know. Draco nodded and went to eating, as did
Raven. After a few minutes passed Draco spoke up again. "So why
were you crying?" Raven looked at him... she just shook her
head
"Come on tell me...I knew you were..I could
tell.."
"Really... I just was...depression does odd
things to you."
"Nice excuse, really why were you."
"I
just was okay.." Raven said a little harsh and went back to
eating, ingoing him now. Draco finished and stood up. "I'll wait
for you." He then walked out and went to the Fireplace. Raven
sighed and stood up. She walked in and seen Draco leaning against the
fireplace holding the Floo Powder bag. "You go first." He
said. Raven nodded and took some of the powder. After she had
finished the Proceeder she found herself in the streets of Daigion
Alley. It was crowded, probably the last minute shoppers for
supplies. She looked around and saw the all familiar black headed boy
she was looking for. Obviously he had spotted her as well. For a few
minutes they stared at each other, that is till one red headed boy
waved his hand in front of him, breaking the stare. Draco had also
arrived and followed Raven's gaze to Harry, he then knew something
was going on. Raven took one last look at Harry before being drug off
by Draco, who now seemed extremely angry. "First off, why were
you staring at that no good Muggle-loving poor excuse of a wizard?"
He sounded quite mad aswell. Raven simply shrugged, she couldn't tell
him that he kissed her, no that would only make matters worse. Draco
shook his head. "I'm going to go find my parents, then we're out
of here." He stomped off. Raven turned around and found Harry
standing there.
"He sure does love to insult me, doesn't
he?" Harry asked.
"I quess..." Raven said walking
closer to him. Harry seemed to now have a more serious look.
"Yesterday, that kiss..."
"Haunted me all
night..." Raven said, looking down at the ground. Her head was
being lifted by Harry's finger under her chin.
"It did me
too... I can stop thinking about it..." He then kissed her
again. As if that was going to make anything better. Of course she
did seem more relaxed now... maybe liking Harry wasn't a bad
thing...maybe it was something good. They pulled away and then Harry
went back to his friends. He waved at her as he walked away.
"COME
ON LET'S GO!" Draco shouted at Raven, who turned around and ran
to the Malfoys. After they had arrived back at the Manor, Raven
immediately ran up to her room and began to pack for tomorrow. She
had to avoid glares from Draco at Lunch and Supper. That night all
she could think about was Hogwarts. A new adventure, a new life, and
a new love.
