Living Through Life As It Comes
Once in a land far, far away there was a school named Hogwarts. A school for witchcraft and wizardry, a school that was usually a very happy place. And for a while it was…but not this year.
This was my sixth year at Hogwarts and I finally had everything I wanted. A boyfriend, a bestfriend (even if Sarah had to be kept a secret), a spot on the quidditch team as chaser and good grades. But this year something went horribly wrong and it all started when my boyfriend Draco started to act really weird. He was always leaving for hours at a time and sometimes people would even come up to me telling me Draco was walking around with a couple of girls. I thought he was cheating on me so I confronted him one morning before he could take off.
"Draco, honey? Are you awake?" I asked shaking him; he lolled in his bed.
"Whaizit?" He answered groggily.
"I need to ask you something…it's real important." I waited for a reply. He didn't so I just started again. "What is wrong with you? You've been acting weird all year long and I'm still trying to put up with it."
"Didn't we already talk about this? There is nothing going on. Comm'n let's have a little morning fun." He answered playfully.
"You're always leaving me for hours at a time! What about those girls you've been walking around with? Is there someone else?" I was crying like a heart broken child and all he could do was stare at me with this awestruck look on his face.
"Is that what you think? Bloody, I should have seen this coming." He slapped his face and covered his eyes.
"I understand it's that Pansy girl, isn't it? I knew there was something going on...it just didn't click." I sobbed.
"No. Love," He chuckled. "There are somethings I just can't tell you. But what I can tell you is that the Dark Lord has sent me on a mission. Trust me, this is all going to work out fine."
"What do you mean the Dark Lord sent you on a mission? He's in your dad's line of work not yours! Draco, I respect our Lord with every ounce of my soul but-"
"Exactly, and so do I!" He cut me off. "This is why I am showing my loyalty to him. You have to understand that this mission can build or break our lives."
"Our lives? What do you mean our?"
"Well I do expect to spend the rest of my life with you and the Dark Lord knows it. He knows a lot about you and he really likes you."
"Draco the thing with the Weasley boy and with Katie…you didn't…you did!" My watery eyes bulged as I sat up in his bed.Draco actually poisoning a fellow student almost causing him to die and cursing a girl making her almost die frightened me. I wasn't sure if this was the boy that I fell in love with.
"Love, I would never hurt you on purpose or jeopardize our relationship. I'm only trying to improve it. Trust me and please don't tell anyone about this. I love you and always will." He brushed the tears from my cheek and held me close. He kissed my forehead and told me never to think that he would cheat on me. Especially not with Pansy Parkinson.
After that I owled Sarah telling her to meet me in the Hogwarts kitchen. I told her how I confronted Draco and how he assured there was no other girl. She didn't ask many questions and that was good.Then Sarah told me how Harry was so suspicious about Draco, how Harry was always assuming Draco was up to no good. Sarah told me that sometimes he would even followDraco around the school trying to figure out where he goes. I pretended as if that was a good thing;
"At least one of will know where he goes off to all the time."We laughed at our little jokes and our quarky thoughts. Sarah was my friend ever since the beginning...even though she went against everything I stood for...I loved her like a sister. But I couldn't let her know about the Dark Lord's plans, after all she was muggle born and Harry Potter's girlfriend.I made sure to remember that Harry was suspicious of Draco and let him know. I just kept quiet and listened to her go on about Hermione and Ron, but now I regret the fact that I didn't tell her.
