Draco:
I sat in the Great Hall with the rest of the students. Even though Vienna had just left the assembly nobody had dared to move. Their was a slight chatter and things like;
"Wow…"
And
"Huh?…"
And
"That was amazing…"
And
"That was so stupid…"
We're coming out of people's mouths. I for one, was not talking.
"Draco, I just asked you a question." Pansy snapped annoyed.
"What?" I asked shortly not really paying attention.
"Wasn't that stupid?" She asked smiling, it made me sick.
"No, actually I quite liked it."
The smile dropped off her face like an obedient dog drops a ball. It was highly amusing.
"Well of course I liked it." Pansy said sitting back in her chair and rolling her eyes.
"Think for yourself for once Pansy." I snapped before making my way out of the Great Hall.
I didn't know where I was going until I found myself face to face with Vienna."
"Draco?" She asked trying to hide her face. I could tell she had been crying.
Vienna:
"Why are you crying?" Draco asked his voice soft and gentle.
"I'm not." I said trying to turn away once more.
He grabbed my arm before I could escape.
"Tell me. If it's about the speech I can't even to begin to tell you how beautiful that was. Amazing."
"It's not about the speech." I sniffled.
"Then what's it about?"
"So much has happened to me and I don't…I don't know if I can do this…help you all. It might be best if I just go home and someone else takes my place."
"That wouldn't be good for any of us, Vienna."
"You really believe that?" I asked feeling as small and as weak as a child.
"Come with me." He begged taking my hand and leading me up several flights of stairs until we came to a wall.
Draco closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking hard. It didn't take long for a door to appear where plain wall had been.
"Wh-what?" I asked stupidly as he led me inside.
When I walked in it was the most amazing sight I had ever seen. All around me stretched grape vines and country land. It was like being at home once more. I looked at him curiously.
"How-"
"Magic." He grinned stupidly.
I laughed a bit before letting go of his hand and roaming through the field. I touched every grape within reached and took of my flats, letting my toes sink into the earthen ground. A few minutes later I looked back in his direction. Draco was watching me with a wide smile on his face. I laughed.
"It's beautiful." I told him sincerely.
He just kept watching me.
"Come on!" I called running deeper into the field.
I could hear thunderous foot steps behind me as I ran. A few seconds later Draco came bowling into me, knocking me to the ground. I just laughed. Lying on the ground next to me he rolled over and helped me to my feet. We stood facing each other.
"Friends?" He asked.
"Friends." I repeated forcefully.
Then I turned and ran deeper into the field still hearing those thunderous footsteps behind me.
Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year in case I don't update until then!
