She forgot all about you.
She doesn't want you.
She doesn't need you.
She left you.
She doesn't love you…
She doesn't love you…
She doesn't love you…
Draco grinded his teeth as the words hissed in his head repeatedly. He was slamming draws and doors, while packing his trunk trying to drown the voices in his head. The pain in his chest was immense, putting him on the brink of blacking out, but he trudged on with the task at hand.
"Damn you Adele" he growls slamming his trunk closed, grabbing it and apparating to Kings Cross for four days had passed by and school was beginning today.
Now that he was away from his father he pulled out his wand and uttered a spell, mending the best he could his broken ribs. Solemnly he walked to Platform 9 & ¾ pale and grief stricken. As he looks up a look of pure disgust crosses his face for right there were the Weasley's and their precious Potter.
"Ok Fred, George you first! GO, GO we don't have time!" Mrs. Weasley ordered.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione you three next!" After that she Grabs Ginny's hand and the two of them run through the wall to get to Hogwarts Express. After a moment Mrs. Weasley pokes her head through the wall.
"Hailey dear come on!" and with that she disappears once more.
Cautiously Hailey pokes the wall with her foot, and unsurprisingly it goes through as if she were a ghost. Half smiling to herself and walks back to her trunk. At top speed she pushes her cart towards the wall, but as she reaches it her cart stops, sending her tumbling to the ground.
"Watch where you're going! Look what you did you-" She stops mid sentence because a tall figure loomed in front of her rendering her speechless.
"Draco…?" she whispers as if too afraid to be heard and proven otherwise.
A small, faint smile appears on his face and he holds out a hand to help her up.
"Get away from her Malfoy!"
Draco whips around and stalks towards Harry.
"You dare tell me what to do? Who do you think you are Potter, my father?" every word rolled off his tongue with pure hatred.
"If you know what's good for you stay away from her Potter"
"Funny I was just about to say the same to you."
Draco took another step closer to Harry, ready to pounce and as he did Mr. Weasley appeared out of nowhere.
"Isn't it time you got going?" He asked frowning down at Draco.
"Watch your back Potter" And with a very worthy sneer Malfoy starts to walk away but stops by Hailey.
"Here...you dropped this." He said handing Hailey what looked like a folded up handkerchief and he walked off after she gingerly took it.
"What'd he say to you anyway?.. Hailey? Hello? You alive?" Ron asked poking her.
"Huh? What?" She jumped looking around to find Harry, Ron, and Hermione staring at her with what seemed like curiosity with a mix of pity.
"Bloody hell Hails what'd he want from you?"
"Oh nothing Ron… he was just helping me up. How come you don't like him?"
"Please don't tell me you've got the hots for him." Hermione asked with a look of disgust.
"He's a pompous, arrogant, two faced, lousy, piece of Slytherin scum, that's why we don't like him or any other Slytherin they're all alike, they're all scum!" Harry growled.
With that said everybody became quite.
"Oh look at the time we have to go on Prefects duty, come on Ron!" And with that Ron and Hermione disappeared.
It was decided that Hailey was to go back with Harry to the Weasley's house for the next couple of days. Dumbledore thought it would be a good idea for her to get to know people. Well with all the people living in the Weasley's house it felt as if she were introduced to the entire world.
"Aww what's wrong Drakie something's bothering you." Pansy asked playing with Draco's hair.
"Nothing, now get offa me Parkinson!"
At that Crabbe, Goyl grunted in laughter.
She eyed him suspiciously ignoring the two buffoons.
"You don't look too good Draco. It looks like…you've seen a ghost." she laughed and resumed in trying to stroke Draco's hair.
When she said that he grabbed her by the arm and pushed her against the compartment door. "What are you implying Parkinson?" he glared her down until she started to fidget.
"You're like your father more and more everyday." she pouted and with that said Draco pushed her aside and left the compartment.
"Damn Pansy knows Adele's back, great! They already hated each other and now that Adele's wanted by The Dark Lord things are gonna get even uglier. Where is Addie anyway?...probably with Potter that bloody moron. If only he'd just die already and get out of my way." "o0o0o get away from her Malfoy." yeah real intimidating. Ha! What'd he think he was going to do? Google eye at me to death. Speaking of the devil…" There in the compartment he just walked by was no other than Addie and Harry. Gently he leaned against the door and listened to what was being said.
"Promise me you'll stay away from him ok Hailey?"
"……"
"Ok?"
"Say no! say no! say no! come on Addie say.. Wait who's he calling Hailey?" Draco thought to himself.
"I'll do as I please! So don't go telling me what to do!" She stood up and started to grab her things.
"YES! She's still the same old Addie."
"Whoa Hails wait a minute don't be mad. I was just trying to protect you!" Harry tried to put her things back into the overhead compartment.
"Hails? He's already acting like their a couple! I'll kill him!"
"I don't need you to protect me! I don't need you and that's that!"
"Why are you so mad?"
"Slytherin's not scum." she hissed and walked out the door leaving Harry slightly dumbfounded.
With knowing what was going to happen Draco walked off so he wouldn't be stuck in the middle of even more drama.
"Stupid fool thinks he has to take care of me! I can take care of myself I don't need his help!.. Crap where am I!" Desperately Hailey looked around and didn't know where to go every compartment on the train was filled with people she didn't know and once she got to wherever she was going she wouldn't know what to do. A couple paces ahead a familiar platinum blonde haired boy was walking.
"Draco!" she shouted before she could stop herself. She had obviously caught him off guard especially when she dropped her stuff and jumped on him, wrapping her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. For a moment Draco stood there waiting to wake up and her to disappear like every other time. Almost numbly he wrapped his arms around her, but when she didn't disappear he held her tightly.
"What happened to you? Where'd you go? I thought you were dead!" the questions spilled out of his mouth as he pulled her into an empty compartment ahead so they could talk in peace.
Her smiled dropped. "I don't know…How do we know each other?" Her eyes were fixed on his, she wanted an answer. The look on Draco's face made her resume speaking. "I know I know you, you've been in my dreams for the past year, I know your name, and you know me, but what I need to know is how I know you… I don't remember…anything."
Draco just sat there with the oddest look on his face.
"You're joking right? If so you can stop now because there's nothing funny about this. A year Addie, a whole fucking year you've been gone having EVERYBODY think you were dead, murdered! And then out of nowhere you're here asking how we know each other? Did you actually think that this joke would make people laugh? I know you've never done anything as twisted as this. Why'd you do it? Were you in trouble or something?"
For a moment Addie was silent staring at Draco wide eyed, unable to speak. After a few moments she whispered, "Draco, something happened to me, it caused me to lose my memory…I was in a coma. When I woke I didn't even know my own name. The only thing that I know is true, is that I know you. Why are you calling me Addie? My names Hailey.. Right?"
"HAILEY! There you are!" Hermione smiled obviously glad she was ok, but when she saw Draco she grabbed Hailey and pulled her out of the compartment.
"You're needed in the Prefects compartment." She growled at Draco and with that Hermione slammed the door and dragged Hailey away.
"What do you think you're doing?" Hailey asked trying to rip herself from Hermione's grasp.
"That's exactly what I was going to ask you! You shouldn't talk to him, you'll get hurt if you get involved with him in ANY way!"
"You think you know everything, but you don't! Why don't you just stay out of this!"
"Addie come on." Draco whispered grabbing her hand.
Hermione just stared at the two of them deep in thought.
"Listen Granger I'm not going to hurt her ok?" with that he pulled Hailey back into the compartment and closed the door.
Hermione returned to the compartment with Harry and Ron, telling her story of what had just occurred.
"There was just something so strange with the way he acted Harry, he seemed so tired, almost defeated in a way."
"Why'd you let her stay? We're supposed to watch out for her!" Harry shouted
"Do you two both feel like you know her already?" Ron asked finally joining the conversation with a mouth full of Berty Botts Every Flavor Jelly Beans.
"Oh Ron don't talk with your mouth full that's just gross, but yes… I've got that feeling as well."
Harry just nodded in agreement.
After a long pause Hermione spoke very quietly. "He called her Addie." The train slowed down to a halt and everybody clamored out, but the three sat there for a short time waiting for the crowd to thin down and to think over what was just said.
