Chapter Eleven

Coming Back from Christmas Break

Pansy could hardly contain herself she was on the way to the train to meet with Draco so they could go back to school.

"Mom come on let's go I don't want to be late getting back to the train."

"Since when have you ever been excited to go back to school Pansy?"

"Since I started going out with Draco before we left I miss him I didn't get to see him once this whole break I've never gone this long without seeing him even when we weren't dating."

"Okay, okay let's go do you have all of your things?"

"Yes mom I do I am ready to go."

Once they got to the train station Pansy's mother said goodbye to her and left the other way, Pansy ran through the wall and saw Draco standing over on the other side of the walkway. She saw he was talking to someone but didn't know who it was.

"Hey Draco what's up?" Said Pansy

"Why, Hello Pansy dear."

Said the tall person next to Draco as it turns out it was Lucius Malfoy.

"Hello Sir, how are you?"

"I am fine, how was your Christmas vacation?"

"It was okay my mother was kind of sad that my father wasn't there but she told me he should be getting out soon."

"Yes it should be getting out soon, so I hear you and Draco are dating now?"

"Yes, Sir we are it started right before Christmas break."

"Well Pansy I am sorry to say that Draco may be too busy for a girlfriend right now see he is going to start training soon to be a Death Eater so don't take it too personally."

"Well Draco my boy I must be off I will send notice when I will be coming to visit next time and remember what I said do you studies and train in private I will not accept anything less."

"Yes father I understand completely."

Draco's father then walked away and he stood there for a second motionless not knowing what to do about Pansy.

"Listen Pansy my father has a good point okay I have to start training soon and I need to concentrate on that right now, it just isn't a good time for me to be in a relationship I am sorry if I hurt you."

"You are going to listen to him Draco what about all the things you told me in the past years how you don't know if you want to be a Death Eater how you don't like how your father treats you and you're mother, and how you told me that you were the happiest you had ever been with me, you are going to break up with me because of what your father said?"

"Pansy it isn't that easy trust me my father could get really mad and I don't want to make him mad."

"Fine then break up with me see if I care, how could you do this to me, you just keep hurting me more and more. I cannot take it anymore Draco I may only be 16 but I was falling in love with you, now you just broke my heart."

"Pansy please we were only dating like a month and we didn't even see each other in that month we were on vacation."

"I don't mean once we started dating I mean in general I have always had a little crush on you and once you took me to that dance it started back up again full force."

"That's not my fault Pansy I am sorry okay I just can't be with you right now I have to much to take care of I have to go now the train will be leaving in a few minutes."

Draco then started to walk away from Pansy towards the train.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy I swear to god if you walk away from me right now I will never speak another word to you for the rest of my life."

When she said this Draco paused for a second turned and looked at Pansy who's face was tear stained, and turned around and walked onto the train without saying one word to her. Pansy's heart just broke right there and she started sobbing. Millie ran up to her from the platform.

"Oh My God Pansy what happened are you okay?"

"No I am not okay Draco just broke up with me."

"Why the hell would he do that Pansy I thought he was happy with you."

"So did I his father made him because he is going to have Draco start training to be a Death Eater and he told Draco that having a girlfriend is a distraction, so he dumped me. I told him if he walked away from me I would never talk to him again for the rest of my life and he looked at me one more time and walked away without saying anything to me, Millie I am afraid my heart is dead now."

"What an asshole first he runs out on you in potions then he kisses you to see if he has feelings for you then he does so he asks you out and you become his girlfriend then he dumps you just because his dad said too. Pansy he is an asshole you deserve better."

"I don't want better Millie I want Draco."

"I know Pansy let's go inside and find a spot to sit down."

Millie and Pansy went into the train and found an empty spot where Pansy could lay her head down and rest her eyes she was very tired all the sudden. Once Pansy fell asleep Millie went to find Theo and she found him but he was in the company of Draco.

"Hey Theo, Blaise, Ferret sorry to interrupt but I need to talk to Theo about something."

"Alrighty I'll be back in a little while guys."

Millie and Theo then left the cabin and went and sat in the cabin where Pansy was sound asleep dead to the world.

"So what's up honey you wanted to talk about something?"

"Theo I feel so bad I don't know what to do about Pansy I mean he broke her heart you should of seen her about twenty minutes ago her eyes looked completely dead."

"Why what happened with her and Draco he never told us anything he is just sitting there angry at something or someone."

"He broke up with her Theo he said his father didn't want him being distracted by a girl when he has to study and he has to start training to be a Death Eater."

"WHAT he never told us this; he didn't even tell Blaise if he did Blaise wouldn't be sitting there right now. I mean wow I didn't know anything was going on."

"That's not the worst of it after he broke up with her he turned and started to walk away without saying anything to her, so she said Draco if you walk away from me right now I will never talk to you again for the rest of my life. According to her, he turned and looked her then turned around again and walked away without saying a word. I am really worried about Pansy she is saying her heart is dead."

"I am sure she will be fine once she gets back to school and talks with everyone, but you know I have to go tell Blaise now he needs to know."

"I know that Theo go tell Blaise and if he wants to see her tell him which cabin we are in."

"Okay will do Honey I'll see you in a little bit."

Theo and Millie kissed really fast before he ran back to his cabin. When he got to his cabin Draco was up against the wall sleeping and Blaise was sitting there looking bored.

"Dude Blaise I need to talk to you now it is really important."

"Okay what's up Theo?"

"Before the train left Draco dumped Pansy."

"What are you talking about Theo why in the world would he do that?"

"His father told him too, said that he needed to concentrate on his studies and start training to be a death eater. The worst thing is Pansy was so hurt that Draco just starting walking away from her and she yelled after him that if he walked away without saying anything to her she would never talk to him again in her life, and he turned and looked at her didn't say a damn word and walked onto the train."

"That fucking bastard I should kill him for hurting Pansy."

Blaise then got up and walked over to the sleeping Draco and punched him in the face. Draco woke up from the blow and sat there for second to catch his bearings.

"What the fuck is your problem Blaise why did you fucking hit me?"

"You know damn well why I hit you, you damn piece of shit how the fuck could you do that to Pansy."

"You don't understand Blaise I had to okay my dad made me he was angry I had a girlfriend he didn't want it to take away from my studies and becoming a Death Eater, I had no choice."

"Like hell you had no choice you could have told you dad no that you really liked Pansy, but no you had to be a chicken shit and break her heart you never fucking deserved her in the first place."

"You don't think I fucking know that Blaise you don't think I know I broke her heart do you think I wanted to do it, no I didn't my dad said he would hurt Pansy or her mom if I didn't okay. So don't fucking tell me how bad I should feel okay? I already know I fucked everything up."

"Okay your dad said to break up with her he never told you to turn your back on her and not say anything to her at all."

"Yes he did he told me he didn't want me to talk to her anymore because he didn't want me distracted. I did it for her own good I don't want to be the reason she would get hurt."

"Well you hurt her either way I hope you can live with yourself knowing you made your best friend of 11 years hate you."

"I know I did and it was a hard thing to do especially when I was falling in love with her, but I care more about her being safe then us being together right now, now if you don't mind please leave me the fuck alone I don't want to talk about it anymore."

With that said Draco sat back down and stared out the window Blaise and Theo could see that he had tears in his eyes, they knew he really did care about her. Blaise knew in his heart that there had to be something he could do to help his friend out so he went to find Hermione he knew she could help him. When he found her he told her everything that Draco had told him.

"Well Blaise to tell you the truth I think that he should go talk to Dumbledore I know he doesn't want to listen to anyone right now but I know that he can help Draco he can help anybody with anything."

"See I don't know about that one he could get Draco into trouble with his father and the other followers then Draco would be in danger and I don't want to do anything to hurt my friend."

"I know this Blaise but this may be the only way to help him and trust me when I say that Dumbledore will not let anything happen to one of his students he cares for each and every one of us."

"Baby you are so smart that's why I love you."

"You love me Blaise; you have never said it before."

"Yes I do Hermione I love you."

"I love you too Blaise, come on honey we are coming up to the school now let's get ready to go inside."

Blaise and Hermione got off the train and started walking towards the school some students staring at them not used to the fact that a Slytherin and a Gryffindor were dating. As they were walking inside they saw Pansy getting off the train with Millie by her side and Draco was walking behind them with one single tear coming down his face. Once everyone from the train got inside they had the second welcome back dinner this time there was no dance because the train got in so late that they students were very tired and all students went up to bed right after dinner. When Pansy, Millie, Blaise, and Theo walked into the room they saw Draco standing in the corner with his dad whispering something. As soon as they walked in Draco's father bid everyone goodbye and walked out the door saying

"Remember what I said Draco I want you to start to train tomorrow night"

"What the bloody hell are you all staring at mind your fucking business!" Screamed Draco

"Hey asshole if you are going to become a Death Eater do it somewhere else not where everyone can see you, god I don't know what I ever saw in you, you are nothing but a pathetic puppet for your father to fuck with. You even let him do it do you, I for one am glad I am out of your life now you can't mess up mine."

With that said Pansy walked right up to Draco and slapped him across the face and smirked as she said the last comment.

"I hope that when the war comes you don't run like a coward and fight like a man."

Then she turned and walked up the stairs without one single glance at Draco and the others. Everyone kind of stood there for a second not knowing what to do or say. They looked at Draco who had tears threatening to fall.

"Draco buddy are you okay?"

He looked at Blaise and didn't say anything for a minute, and then he just turned towards the door and walked out saying he would be back later.

"Blaise listen I am going to go for a walk."

"When will you be back?"

"I don't really know I might not come back, I think I might just well I'll see you soon buddy."

"Wait Draco you just can't up and leave school I mean teachers will notice."

"Just leave me alone Blaise I will be back later then okay if it makes you feel better."

"As long as you come back I won't worry."

"I will come back okay mother."

The next morning Blaise looked over at Draco's bed and noticed it hadn't been slept in. He ran down the stairs and to the Great Hall thinking that maybe he had gone down early to get some food everyone was there except Draco.

"Hey Blaise where is Draco I thought he was coming down with you that's why I didn't wake him up."

He didn't come back to the room last night Theo he never came back from his walk I think he either did something to himself or he just decided to leave, he said he was going to."

"Oh Shit we have to go tell Snape now and he is going to be pissed."

"Are you two trying to say that Draco went out last night and never came back are you two crazy go tell Snape now if he is outside do you know how cold it gets out there at night? Yelled Millie

Blaise and Theo ran over to Snape and told him what happened; Snape and Hagrid went outside right away and started looking in the forbidden forest. About five hours later they found him by the unicorns laying there shaking half dead.

"What wrong with him Prof?"

"I don't know Reubus from what it looks like he broke his foot and couldn't move, so he just laid here."

"Is he dead Prof?"

"No he is just barely alive we have to get him inside right away or we could lose him."

Snape told Hagrid to pick him up and carry him to the Castle and straight to Madam Pomfry. Hagrid did as he was told, and as he was walking up the stairs Blaise, Theo, Millie, and Pansy were walking outside for a few minute breather before their next classes.

"Oh my god is he dead?" Asked Millie

"Not yet little one we aren't sure yet he has been outside since last night he might not make it through the day."

When Hagrid said that Pansy ran off in the other direction without saying anything to anyone and everyone knew something bad was coming, and they weren't ready for it yet.
