I couldn't really sleep that night because I was so excited that I now had my best friend back. Even when I fell asleep I couldn't sleep for very long because I kept waking up and had a hard time falling back asleep. It was just so unreal to be speaking terms with Draco again.
I hate it though, I know that how we are now, friends, is all that we will ever be. He will never realize how in love with him I am. And how I have been for the past three years. But hey, being friends is better than being nothing, right?
I walked down to breakfast extremely early due to my inability to sleep and I stumbled upon Draco speaking with Haylie. I saw him glance in my direction and Haylie turned around not even two seconds later. And when she looked at me it was like time froze, with the daggers that her eyes attained at that time.
" Well Draco, I think I should get going. I told Taylor I would meet her in the common room before breakfast." She said to him, and then she looked at me to make sure I was watching, put her hand on his shoulder, and kissed him. And Draco was to oblivious to see anything of what just happened. " A little sad don't you think? You wanting to be in my position so bad, but knowing you never will? I almost feel bad for you, but if I did, it wouldn't be as fun." She whispered to me with a smirk and just walked out of the Great Hall.
" Hey," Draco said, directed at me. If he didn't say anything I probably would have been forced to go take Haylie and tie her to a tree in the Enchanted Forest.
" Oh, hi!" I'm not letting her get to me, I can't.
" Why you up so early?"
" I can ask you the same thing."
" Well, you can't tell anyone okay?"
" Promise."
" So, my sister, Catherine, is coming to Hogwarts to tell me something. She only sent me one owl saying that she will be here before breakfast today, I sent one back asking what was so important, but she wouldn't tell me."
" Oh, I've never met your sister, does she go to Hogwarts?"
" Well she did. She graduated three years ago."
" Aw! My little brother is all grown up! And looks as though he has gotten himself a girlfriend, and a pretty one at that. Hello sweetie, I'm Catherine Malfoy, Draco's older sister and what is your name?" Spoke a very blonde girl with grey eyes exactly like Draco's walking in from the ceiling above the Gryffindor table.
" Oh, um, I'm sorry, but I'm- I'm not."
" Catherine, this is Phoebe and she isn't my girlfriend. And Phoebe this is Catherine."
"Darn it, Draco! I was really hoping it was her! I mean you are going to need a date to my wedding!"
" You're getting married?" Draco exclaimed, I'm guessing that was her huge surprise.
" Yes, but you cannot be the one to tell Father. Because, you see, he's Muggle Born."
" Catherine! I do not believe you would even consider dating a Muggle Born let alone marry one!" Oh, Draco's extremely angry.
" Well, I can see that you took well." Catherine said sounding a little disappointed while sitting down.
" If you don't mind, I think I'm going to have a word with Draco." I spoke pulling Draco away from her.
" Draco! Can you not see that your sister is obviously in love with this boy! So what if he is Muggle Born! She loves him and wants your approval for this marriage! I never knew you could be so naïve!" I hope he realizes that he is making so mad.
" I can't help that I was raised to hate Muggles and anything that has to do with them!"
" I know that, but you're old enough now to change your opinion! What is truly so bad about Muggles? So what if they're not like us? They still have feelings and are people! They deserve respect, and it's wizards like you that make me sick!" I can't do this anymore. I want to tell him so bad that even though I come from a Pureblood family some of my greatest friends have been Muggles and were Muggle Born. He doesn't have the right to treat them like dirt! Nobody does! All I can think of doing is walking away.
I don't walk that far because I already hated that he made me mad. But I turn around to find that he's not there, and it's almost breakfast so I head toward the Great Hall again… before I walked in though, I could still hear Draco speaking with Catherine.
" So, Phoebe talked to me, and I'm okay with you marrying a Muggle Born, I wish you the best of luck when you tell Father even." Draco said sounding almost ashamed of himself and the way he had acted.
" Oh Draco, you have no idea how much this means to me!" Catherine practically screams while hugging her little brother. " And, I don't see why you don't fancy that female friend of yours. You obviously care for her, or else she wouldn't have made you change your mind."
" Well, you see it's 'complicated'. I mean I think I-"
" Oh sorry to cut you off love, but I must be going before people come down to breakfast! Okay I love you and I'll be seeing you soon! Bye Draco! And tell Phoebe I said thank you!" Why? Why did she have to cut him off?
"Um, Draco? I heard what you said to your sister and… I'm proud of you." I say walking back towards him.
" Oh, well, thanks." I can tell he is nervous.
" And I also heard what she said about, you know, us."
" Yeah, she has a habit of getting in on my life."
" Oh."
" Yeah."
" Well, she is beautiful and I'm sure she is happy with your blessings."
" She should be! She still owes me from when I caught her hanging out with Muggles a few years back!"
" You know, you really do have to get over that."
And that was the end of the conversation. I wanted to tell him how when I wake up, my first thought is him and how we will never be together and how that entire thought kills me. But, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I can't ruin our friendship. At least, not today I can't. I just started speaking to him again and I do not want to blow it this quickly.
Draco and I were having a laugh about something when the dreaded Haylie came in and sat herself right in between Draco and I and completely shoved me out of the conversation.
If I'm right about what Draco was going to say to Catherine than Haylie better soak up all of the Draco time she can get, because it's not going to last much longer.
