Thanks to all my wonderful reviewers :D

Here is chapter 11 :O whoa. Really? Anyways, I am happy that people seem to like this story. I was a little discouraged when I was first writing it, but considering the story is like halfway through, I am getting better. I have to decide whether or not to write about Cilwenu's 5-7 years. I'm not sure if I will or not. I know I want to write about Cilwenu and Draco some more. Hmm. You guys tell me :D

I do not own Harry Potter, because my name is not J.K. Rowling.

I also do not own Althea Mirna. She is property of Bonexyz. (who needs to write MOAR :D)

Chapter Eleven:

"Professor, is that really necessary?" Althea Mirna asked Severus, who held Draco Malfoy at the front of the class.

Severus looked at her with angry eyes, fingers tight around the shirt collar of the blonde. All he did was walk into the classroom…

Cilwenu had not arrived in the classroom yet, and Althea was concerned for when she did. It was obvious to anyone in that room that Severus Snape did not, and most likely would not, allow Draco Malfoy in another classroom with his daughter again. There wasn't a person that didn't hear about Cilwenu's dramatic breakdown in the middle of the hallway.

That's just how gossip worked.

Draco stood there, blank. He hadn't been the same, not being the same Draco in the first place, since he saw Cilwenu the way she was.

That whole weekend, Cilwenu stayed in the dormitory.

"Sit down."

"I don't understand why-"

"Why are you defending Draco Malfoy, Miss Mirna?" Severus interrupted.

Althea knew why. But she looked down at her hands and shook her head. Draco looked straight at her, as if wanting her to give him a legitimate reason for him to not be thrown out. She could come up with a million reasons, but none of them were good enough for Severus Snape to want to accept.

When Cilwenu did walk through the door, she took a single glance at Draco, before noticing what was going on. Her eyes locked onto those of her father's, questioning him without even saying a word. She just stared at him, while Draco did nothing to escape.

"W-wenny…" Althea breathed.

"Let him go… Professor…" Cilwenu said, her voice raspy and broken.

Severus said nothing.

Cilwenu reached for Draco's arm, wrapping her slender fingers around him and tugging him towards her. Draco watched, but felt the pull of Severus on his collar a little stronger.

"Let Draco go now!" Cilwenu yelled.

Severus released his collar, only thanks to the look in his daughter's eyes as she stared up at him.

Draco stumbled slightly next to Cilwenu, looking down at her with his silvery-grey eyes. He mouthed a thanks to her, before walking to the back of the classroom, where he sat next to Goyle and Pansy.

Cilwenu took her eyes away from him, and sat beside a very red Althea.

"Wenny…"

"Thea… what happened?"

Staring at the dark green dress in front of her, Cilwenu envisioned herself in it. The way it would fit her, still slightly childish, waist, and hug her skin tightly. She would look absolutely beautiful, but it wasn't the dress. She hadn't picked it out.

Truth be told, she hadn't the slightest idea where said dress came from. It was just there when she walked into the Dormitory, staring her in the face along with an anonymously signed card. Immediately, Cilwenu suspected it to be from Hermione, the girl knowing Cilwenu's type of attire outside of the Hogwarts uniform.

But. It was green, and Hermione hated green, and had no idea about it either.

Millicent wouldn't dare give her a hint as to where. She flat out denied knowing in the first place, but it was clearly written all over her face.

Cilwenu didn't really particularly care. She hadn't gone to Hogsmeade with Hermione, Luna or Althea that weekend, due to her painful personal issues. Harry had even offered to pay for anything Cilwenu wanted.

She didn't want things. She wanted Draco.

"Seamus said he would go with me!" Althea squealed, shaking Cilwenu violently as they stood outside in the snow.

Cilwenu smiled, purely out of instinct, "That's wonderful, Thea."

"I cannot believe how positively excited I am about the Ball… I love, love, love my dress."

"At least you know where yours came from."

Althea sighed, rubbing her chin in thought, "The sender didn't give you any clues?"

"Who would send me a dress?" Cilwenu said a little harsh, her brows drawn together. She covered her mouth then, and shook her head.

Althea held out her hand, "Wenny, it was nice of you to defend Malfoy like that in spite of your father."

Cilwenu nodded. She looked down at her footprints in the snow, wondering how Hogwarts was going to have a Quidditch game in such absurd weather. Her shoulders shrugged, and Cilwenu bit the inside of her lip.

It was hard to hear Draco's name, not to mention seeing him ever since her incident in the hallway. It had all come back to her while she was in the dormitory.

She remembered seeing him, catching up to him and begging in her mind for him to tell her nothing was wrong with him. Cilwenu wanted him to tell her that he was not hurting. She wanted to feel like he never wanted her in the first place. To feel like a used toy had sounded so pleasant when she'd asked him… Cilwenu felt simply mental.

Cilwenu remembered the feel of his soft lips on hers after a grueling two months. She remembered his taste, his smell, his hands… and the way he made her stomach go into a tizzy.

Then, she remembered herself screaming.

In her mind, she had been thinking about what it would be like for her if he did forget about them being together. She remembered how bad it felt to watch him walk away in Hogsmeade after catching her with Ron and the others. She could see him walking away from her and never coming back… and it killed her to think that he didn't ever feel the way she still felt for him.

"I love him, Althea."

"Draco, come back! Please don't walk away from me… Please!"

But he didn't turn around, and had it not been for Ron or Harry's arms holding her up, Cilwenu would have fallen into the ground.

Note: Welp, that is it for this chapter. I just had a brilliant plan, and if it goes well, I want to know what you guys will think when it happens.
