Not much went on that day after breakfast. Draco and I had our usual conversations, Haylie gave me death glares, and that was about it.

Well, actually something did happen today in Potions class today…

I walked into Potions like it was no different than any other day, I sat where I usually do and knew that I would be working alone today because Pansy was terribly ill. I carried about my business and by the end of class I was definitely ready for lunch. Only, when I got out of my seat I ran into someone.

" Oh, I'm sorry, I really am clumsy, you know?" I say while I try to gather all of my books.

" No, no. it was my fault." Said the boy that I had run into. " I'm Seamus, and you are?"

" I'm, um, I'm-"

" She's Phoebe." I hear Draco say and pull me off of the ground.

" Oh, well hello and goodbye, Malfoy. And I hope that I will be seeing you around, Phoebe." Seamus called off as he walked out of the classroom.

" You know! I can think and speak for myself." Is all I can say to Draco as I storm out.

I don't know why I got so mad, I mean Draco only was trying to help. But I don't know, I think I kind of like this Seamus fellow. He seemed… nice.

I was deep in my thoughts while studying Defense Against the Dark Arts in the Great Hall when I feel someone touch my shoulder.

" You are really going to have to stop doing that Dra- Oh! Seamus, hello! Come sit!" I say while moving my books around.

" Sorry to burst in on you, and I'm sorry if I scared you, but it seems that when we bumped into each other I seemed to have grabbed your Potions book by accident and I was wondering if you had mine."

" Oh yes, it has to be here somewhere. Oh! Found it, here you are and thanks for giving me my book back. I'm really sorry I bumped into you today, I just don't watch where I'm going most of the time and I run into things like nobody you've ever seen before!"

" It's quite alright. I was actually walking over to speak with you. I know that we don't personally know each other and I know that this might sound quite strange, but Phoebe, would you like to go to the Yule Ball with me?"

" Seamus, you know I was thinking of not going actually…"

" What? You have to go! It's a celebration! And I love to celebrate, if you don't then you definitely need to come with me!" He seems cute. Eh, why not have a night of fun?

" Okay Seamus, I will go to the Yule Ball with you. I must get going, but if I don't have an amazing time, you owe me."

" If you don't have an amazing time I will forever hate myself. Goodbye Phoebe, see you in Potions class!"

" Goodbye Seamus."

I smile the entire way back to the Slytherin Common Room. I've never been asked to go anywhere to anything compared to a dance! And by Seamus! Oh my, this is just spectacular!

But my spectacular mood fades when I walk into the Common Room and find Draco cursing at the fire.

" Um, Draco?"

" I cannot believe you!" He bursts out while getting up to face me.

" Draco what- what are you talking about?"

" You! My father is mad at me because I gave Catherine my blessings to marry that Muggle Born! And you're the one who convinced me to do it!"

" You honestly cannot be mad at me for that! I even said you were old enough to make your own decision!"

" That is not what makes me angry… it's because you that I am forbidden to speak to you! I cannot believe you did this!"

" Wait, what?"

" Once my father found out that you were the one who told me to talk to Catherine he immediately made it his one true goal to be sure that you and I no longer speak! It's because you that I have lost the best friend that I have ever had! It's because of you that I have lost you!"

" Really Draco? Really? I am shocked that you are blaming all of this on me! I did absolutely nothing except tried to make you and your sister happy! I am sorry for trying to be a good person! Actually, I'm not sorry! I do not need to apologize for being myself!"

" Phoebe, just go!"

" Fine! But you know what, Draco? You and your father do not only share the same eyes, you also share the same heart!" I say as I storm out of the common room.

I don't know where I'm running, I'm just running.

I have no idea where to go, so I just stumble around the castle for hours on end. I go back to the Common Room only when I am positive that Draco has gone to bed.

I get there and stare at the fire for at least half an hour and then I start to cry, I cry harder than I have ever cried before. I don't know how I am going to face him in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I don't know how I am going to face him at meals, I don't know how I am going to face him anywhere. It is just ruined. Everything.

This is exactly why if someone had asked me if I loved him, I would have lied. I would feel even worse if he knew my true feelings.
