Chapter dedicated to Driven to insanity who's going away to camp! Have fun! Sorry I couldn't get this out before you left.
All Falls Down...
"You may go Mr. Potter." Snape said as he looked up from reading and grading papers. I wordlessly cleaned up and left the room making my way up to gryffindor tower.
It was start of a new week, the resting of last week and weekend flying by with nothing anything more interesting happening since the attack. I had told Ron and Hermione about everything that had happen and they accepted it. Draco had caught me the next day to see how I was doing and asked me if everything was ok. All in all it was uneventful and I was thankful for that. I just hoped that the rest of the week was uneventful... But of course nothing like would ever happen to me, I had to be Harry freakin Potter!
The morning had started like any morning and breakfast was going along fine when everyone's attention was caught by a commotion at the slytherin table. Parkinson was yelling something at Draco for the whole great hall to hear.
"HOW COULD YOU!?" She yelled loudly. "We're suppose to be getting married after school and you're sleeping with someone behind my back!!"
The great hall gasped as a whole and I wished that I had stayed in bed this morning. I looked away from them and spotted Blaise who was in turn was looking at me, smiling sweetly. I glared back at him knowing that he had told Parkinson.
"I'LL MAKE A BLOODY SCENE IF I WANT TOO!! DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME TO SHUT-UP YOU BASTARD! I'M NOT THE ONE SLEEPING AROUND!" Parkinson yelled.
I wish she would shut-up. Normal people would have cornered their boyfriend or girlfriend in private but no not Parkinson, she had to have the whole bloody world knowing her business.
Suddenly a resounding smack was heard around the hall and again everyone gasped. Parkinson had slapped Draco across the face before stalking out of the great hall. Everyone waited to see what Draco would do and to everyone's surprise he calmly got up and left the hall, he had no shame I saw that clearly but he was furious at having everyone knowing his business, that and the slap from Parkinson must of lowered his ego a few notches.
Gradually all the other students went back to their breakfast, some of them even laughing at the incident that had just taken place while a lot of the girls were gossiping amongst themselves trying to figure out who the third person of the affair was. Of course only three other people knew who that person was...
Speaking of which Hermione and Ron looked at me, with an emotion I couldn't place. It was a mixture of pity and awkwardness and something else but I didn't like it. I wish I could know what they were thinking... probably the worst of me for sleeping with someone who already belonged to another.
"Harry..." Hermione started off gently.
"Don't, just don't please." I said softly. I wanted to go to my room and just lay under my covers till I could forget everything. But I couldn't because it would look suspicious that I was leaving breakfast before the owl post even came.
So I sat through breakfast feeling horrible and losing my appetite wanting nothing more then just to go away. But the fight unsettled something else in me. Draco and Parkinson were to married after school ended... so where did that leave me, for I would not have a relationship with someone who was married.
I snorted catching the attention of Ron and Hermione but I continued to ignore them still lost in my thoughts. I snorted because I found it funny that I could have a relationship with someone who already had a girlfriend but I wouldn't because they were married... did that make it any better. Whatever. But another thing, Draco told me that he was going to join the 'Light Side' (insert Star Wars joke here) so did that mean he wouldn't have to marry Parkinson now? But what if he became a spy.... Oh that would be terrible!
It was only 9 in the morning and already I had a headache, bloody hell why couldn't I have one week where nothing exciting happened to me. I heard someone call my name and I looked up at Hermione's anxious eyes.
"Come on Harry we have to go to Charms." Ron was already standing waiting for me.
With a sighed I grabbed my books and headed out the door with them. Charms and History of Magic passed slowly and boringly. But maybe that was because my mind was somewhere else for most of the classes and only took notes when Hermione nudged me.
Finally it was time for lunch and I had told Ron and Hermione to go on without me so that I could get my books, reluctantly they left my side and told me to hurry so I wouldn't miss lunch. I nodded and headed up to the gryffindor common room.
I guess I wasn't to surprised when I felt someone pull me into an unused room, I mean it's only been happening for several months now. But today of all days I didn't want to see him much less be near him. Like he cared anyway about what I felt...to him I was just a toy to play with. With those thoughts in mind I turned to him with a glared and turned my head away when tried to catch me in a kiss.
Draco sighed and rested his head on my shoulder. "Don't do this to me Harry."
I pushed him away. "Do what?"
"Be mad at me. Zabini told Pansy that I was seeing someone, your name wasn't mentioned." He said as if that resolved everything.
I shook my head and moved to the door not wanting to deal with him but he stopped me and made me face him. "What's wrong? Why are you so mad about... No one knows about us."
"Exactly no one knows and quite frankly I'm tired of being your bitch. So why don't we just say it was fun while it lasted and have a nice life." I smiled offhandedly and once again made to leave the room when he stopped me once again.
"Jesus Draco!" I exclaimed and turned to him.
"What do you want me to do? Would you like me to go out to the great hall and yell at the top of my voice for everyone to hear that we have been seeing each other? Cause if that's what you want I'll do it!" He yelled irritably.
Glaring I told Draco. "You do whatever the fuck you want I don't care. Bye." But Draco made no move to let go of my arm.
Instead he sighed. "I'm sorry Harry. It's just hard for me."
"And that's an excuse? So what is it for me.. Butterflies and bunnies? I almost lost two of my closest friends over you!"
"What do you want from me?" Draco asked solemnly.
"What am I to you... No actually don't answer that cause I really don't want to know. Let's just leave it here ok."
"No Harry we just can't leave here. I-"
"Look I know what you're saying so please stop explaining. And I know you're thinking 'Well no one found it's Harry so it's ok to still mess around' but I don't need your reasons. It's over leave it at that." I told him quietly and finally he let me have my arm back.
"Bye Draco."
I left the room and made my way to gryffindor common room and I thanked every God I knew that it was empty of all students. Picking my feet up I made my way to the couch and laid on it, staring into the unlit fireplace. The tears I had been holding back slipped out of my eyes and I let them fall. I will say that I have never felt worst then I have in that moment, it hurt so bad to say goodbye to him but it needed to be done. Not that, that comforted me in any way. Some time later, I really don't know how much time passed, the door opened and I two people entered the room.
"Harry?" It was Hermione so that meant Ron was with her as well. But I didn't want to see them so instead of answering I turned my body to face the couch away from them. "Harry you're going to have to answer us eventually." Hermione said not giving in to my stubbornness.
"Go away." I hated the fact that I sniffed, it was a telltale sign that I had been crying."What happen Harry?" Ron asked. "You didn't show up to class and it's now dinnertime." Had five hours really passes since I broke up with Draco?
"Nothing."
"Harry we know something happen? Come on you'll feel better if you tell us." Hermione tried to coax me.
I seriously doubted that I would better if I told either them but I did anyways and they took the news in shock. Hermione immediately gathered me into a hug and I didn't resist wrapping my arms around her neck and laying my head on her shoulder.
"It was for the best mate... I mean he was with Pansy and it's was getting too risky right?" Ron said trying to make me feel better.
"Yea." I said and pulled away from Hermione. I rubbed my eyes and sniffed again. "God I'm such a girl." I said laughing.
Ron grinned at me. "It's nothing compared to when Charlie's girlfriend broke up with him... Now he cried like a baby."
We all laughed and after doing a charm that got rid of any signs of me crying we made our way to the great hall for dinner. I was grateful that Draco wasn't there.
The week seemed to go at a snails pace and I wondered if the week would ever end. Class seem to be like a day going by instead of being an hour and half, the ones with Draco were the worst and hardest for me. I tried my best to pretend he wasn't there. But the worst thing was that Blaise who wasn't bothering me anymore just gave me this strange looks that made me just want to walk the other way... How do I explain it.... Well I can't explain it but I know he's planning something, it's just the glint in his eyes that gives him away. I'm really starting to think the bloke isn't all right in the head.
It was finally Friday and I was ready for the weekend, well more then ready actually. All I would have to worry about is homework and going to my detentions on time, which would finish in a few days. At the moment I was at Quidditch practice with the other gryffindors when Ron called us all down to the ground and we met him down there. He was the captain, the first choice was of course me but I turned it down having already too much on my plate. I liked playing the game not running it, so I passed it down to Ron the only other remaining player from last year other then me. At first he had said it was for me, but when I threaten to leave the team (empty threat!) he had agreed.
"Alright we're good for now, our next game will be against Ravenclaw but their keeper sucks so now worries." The redhead said and Dean laughed out loud, who had joined our team as a better. "Anyways our next practice is Sunday 3 o'clock."
The team all headed for the locker room except for me, I still had half-hour to kill before I was due in detention with the ever-charming Snape. It had been a stressful week so I decided to fly, that always helped me relax and there would be no other house team coming out to practice tonight.
"Going to stay out here Harry?" Ron asked. I hadn't noticed that he had stayed behind. Both Ron and Hermione had been great this past week and very supportive. I couldn't have asked for better friends.
"Yeah I still have time before detention so I'm just going to fly around."
"Cool, want company?"
I smiled at him. "It's ok Ron, I kind of wanna be alone and anyways don't you have a study date with Hermione?" My smile widen as Ron blushed and nodded.
"Ok but don't lose track of time or Snape's going to kill you."
I nodded and watched him cross the field before climbing onto my broom and heading up in the air. To get out all my emotion I tended to fly recklessly and just a bit aggressively, but it helps. Dives were the best, you're heading for the ground at neck-breaking speed and then just when you are about to hit the ground you pull up... It was a rush.
I looked at my watch and saw that I had fifteen minutes to get down to the dungeons before I made my self late. I dived down to the ground and lightly tumbled on the grass. Getting up I went to get my water bottle from one of the benches near the locker room. Uncapping it I gulped down more then half the water in the bottle and started to make my way to the locker room.
Abruptly I was hit by a dizzy spell so bad that I dropped the water bottle and reached out for something to steady me but there was nothing and ended up falling to my feet. My arms wrapped around my stomach as I felt I was about to vomit but I didn't and for I don't how long I watched the world spin.
The last thing I remembered before passing out was someone's arms wrapping around my waist.
A/n- WARNING NEXT CHAPTER WILL CONTAIN RAPE; IT'S SEMI-GRAPHIC. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ ABOUT RAPE THEN SKIP THE BEGINNING. AGAIN THERE IS RAPE IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!
Ok now that's out of the way what did you think of the new chapter? Told you that Pansy would play a part sooner or later... She is a little drama queen isn't she? Oh and poor Draco... Harry breaking up with him.... But I'm sure a lot of girls out there can comfort him... Am I right ladies?
Next chapter will be out soon... Well I hope... it's going to be long and complicated with all the different POVs coming into play. But like I said it will start with Blaise and then Snape!
THANKS!
