You Already Have

"Sometimes I don't understand you, Malfoy." Her words dripped with acid. "First you love me. Then you hate me. Then you love me again. Now you hate me all of a sudden?!" Her voice was becoming shrill. "Make up your mind already!"

He fixed a perfected sneer on his face and forced the lie out through clenched teeth. "I don't love you, Granger." He wanted to stop, but he couldn't. "I never have and I never will." He had to save her. This was the only way. "You've been nothing to me, but a good lay. You disgust me!"

She tried to keep the tears from falling, but they fell anyway. Her heart was broken into a million pieces. "I knew better." She spit the words out at him, trying to sound as harsh as possible and failing. "You'll never change. You'll always be Draco Malfoy, Death Eater. You don't care about anyone."

He wanted to shout at her the truth: Of course I care. Don't you understand? I'm doing this to save you!

Instead: "Glad to see you're finally getting the picture, Mudblood."

The word didn't hurt. At least, not as much as the cold look in his eyes as he delivered the final blow.

"I don't ever want to see you again, Granger." His tone was icy, freezing her already dying heart. "And if I do, I'll kill you myself."

Her eyes opened wide, but not in fear. He wanted to cry when she said, "You already have."
