Chapter 13- What have I done?

The next morning at breakfast the entire school was buzzing with rumors about Harry Alex.

"Is it true she slept with Draco Malfoy? Does she realize his father's a death eater? Poor girl doesn't know what she's done." A 3rd year Ravenclaw raved as a crowd huddled around her. Harry looked around nervously, trying to find Alex, but both her and Draco hadn't arrived yet. Finally he saw them talking at a far away table across the Great Hall. Harry stood up, but was flooded by people.

"Do you hate Alex now? What happened between you two? Are you done or are you gonna forgive her? I wouldn't forgive her for a million galleons." Harry looked puzzled as questions were shouted from the large crowd.

"I don't know right now." Harry yelled across the hall, causing the crowd to moan disappointingly and disperse. He signed in relief and grabbed a large helping of grapes and a couple of pancakes. He forced a little down his throat, then just gave up. He didn't have much of an appetite as he watch Draco and Alex sit so close together. Did he not get what she did to him? He loved her, so much and then she just broke his heart. He pushed his plate in and walked out of the Great Hall without even a word to Herimone and Ron who were too busy talking to Neville to notice he had left.

Finally, Ron glanced over to find Harry and saw that he was gone, "Hey 'Moine, did you see where Harry went?" Herimone shook her head, "I better go find 'em, I'll be back and if I don't come back I'll see ya in Potions." Herimone hugged him goodbye while nodding.

Ron walked out into the Hallway and up to the first floor when he saw Harry and Ginny talking, closely.

"Harry? Ginny? Am I interrupting something?" Ron asked uncomfortably, avoiding Harry's eyes.

Ginny seemed annoyed, "Actually you are, so go find Herimone and keep yourself busy." Ron shrugged and walked away slowly. He never liked it when Harry and Ginny were alone. She might be 16, but she was still his little sister.

The Great Hall

The Slytherin Table

Alex and Draco sat quietly as crowds of people flooded around them. It seemed Slytherin was the table to sit at today. Alex nervously picked at a piece of toast and sipped a little bit of apple juice.

"Hey, Alex, wanna go somewhere else?" Draco asked suddenly. Alex nodded and they walked out of the Great Hall together. They started up the stairs when Alex spotted Harry and Ginny snogging.

"Let's go Draco." Alex said blankly, heading down the stairs.

Draco grabbed her arm gently and stopped her, "No, this is funny. Poor Ginny Weasley and pathetic Harry Potter together again. This is low, even for a Potter."

Harry turned bright red, "Jeeze Draco, you're dating a Gryffindor, someone who doesn't kiss the Dark Lords fat ass, how low for you?" Harry sneered.

Draco pulled out his wand, " I should shove this up your…" Alex clamped her hand over his mouth and walked him down the stairs. He tried to shake her off, but she wouldn't let go of him.

"Aright, are you cooled down yet?" He nodded annoyingly and she let go of him, " I don't want you and Harry fighting anymore." Draco huffed, "Do it for me." He nodded, "Well, we got potions now, lets go."

They headed down to the dungeons and ran into Harry and Ginny. Draco groaned, but didn't say anything. They got to the potions room and sat down. To Harry's surprise Alex sat by Herimone and Ron instead of Draco. Draco didn't seem to mind, he sat by Pansy and Crabbe.

"Ok, students sit down. I expect that none of you collected your ingredients, am I correct?" Professor Snape boomed loudly. A choir of "Oh crap I forgot." And "Bloody hell, what'd you do with them?" filled the room. Snape grimaced and turned to his potions cabinet, "I have extras for those of us who forgot, Mr. Potter." The Slytherin's erupted in laughter and even Snape smiled. Harry blushed wildly, but walked up to cabinet and grabbed a few extra supplies.

"Professor, I have Harry's supplies. We were partners… but…" Alex stopped.

" It's alright Alex, I understand. You can use my supplies whenever you need to." Ron and Herimone stared open mouth at Snape. He was never to kind towards the Gryffindor students. Alex smiled, "Thank you Professor." Harry frowned as she walked to the cabinet, winking at Draco.

Potions was finally over and everyone was filing out of the classroom when Draco pulled Alex pulled him over to the side, "I have to tell you something. Can we talk outside?" Alex was curious, but she nodded anyway.

They walked outside together when Draco turned to face her, "Ok, I'll just tell you. My father is a death eater. I wanted to be honest with you. Please don't be mad."

Alex took a sharp breath in, "Wow, are you one?"

Draco hesitated, " No, I'm not. But I can't guarantee I won't become one. I can't betray my father like that. But I would never hurt you or your friends."

"What about Harry? He's my friend."

Draco rolled his eyes impatiently, "Hate to tell ya honey, but you to aren't friends anymore." Draco grabbed her hand, " You're as close to him as a Hippogriff and a rat."

Alex sat down in the snow, "What did I do to him? I bloody cheated on him." Draco sat next to her and wrapped his arms around her, "You have to admit that it was worth it, don't you?"

Alex laughed, " I guess it was."

Draco grinned and kissed her cheek, "Who needs Potter and his goons, you're a Slytherin now."

Alex looked extremely worried. And she should've been.
