You came Back
Chapter 1: Time Crawls
Declaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or anything else you recognise. I do however own everything else.
"Why are you here. You should never have come here. It's over. I told you that it's over. Why didn't you listen to me. You never do listen to me do you. Well I'm telling you now, it's over."
I could only stand and look at him in silence. The tears blocking me vision and fell slowly down my cheeks.
OoOoO
The summer had really dragged on this year. It may only have been seven weeks, but it felt more like seven months. Every day was the same, sleep, eat, and stare out the windows at nothing for hours on end. Just thinking. Just thinking about him, where he was, what he was doing, what he was saying, everything that he could be doing. My parents didn't notice. They never do, I'm just their daughter. They don't have much to do with me anyway. Daphne noticed, but didn't ask me anything. I just stayed in my room, doing nothing but thinking.
Rosella owled me a few times. But I never replied. What was there to say?
I heard, near the end of the holidays, that the ministry had been taken over by You Know Who. I just shrugged when I heard. I didn't care on way or the other. It didn't affected me, I'm a pure blood.
OoOoO
I arrived early at the station. I sat and stared out the window while everyone else arrived. Only looking up when I heard the door of me compartment open. There stood Rosella, looking at me nervously. I smiled slightly, telling her it was ok to sit down. She closed the door quietly sat down and looked at me, frowning slightly.
"Astoria, are you ok? You look kinda… depressed."
"I'm fine."
Rosella gave up talking after I threw her a 'I don't want to talk' look. She pulled out one of her text books and stared reading. I just returned to staring out the window, not really seeing anything.
I heard the door open again but didn't turn around till the sound of Rosella's gasp reached me. My eyes open wide when I saw who it was standing in the door way.
Draco.
He closed the door and sat down beside me. Rosella just stared at him. He gave her a questioning look, then looked down at me. Rosella was gone in a flash.
"Hello Astoria"
I sat there with my mouth hanging open. He reached up and closed it softly with his cold hand. The touch of his skin on my chin bought me to my senses.
"What? What are you doing here?"
He looked me in the eyes, smiling slightly.
"Well, that's a silly question. Why else would I be on the school train unless I was going back to school."
"But, I don't understand. You can't go back to school! You are on the run.. Right?"
"I was, but… there are many things that have happened. But I'm not on the run Astoria, I'm here, I'm going back to Hogwarts. With you."
There was a pause, were we both just stared at each other. Then I understood, he'd come back. And he was staying. I tacked him in a hug, refusing to let go until train slowed to a stop.
A/N - Hey all!! This is the sequel to If you'd only look at me - Astoria's story. Was a little disappointed with the amount of reviews, but it did get over 500 hits. Anyways, I don't know how often I will be updating this one, because none of it is pre-written. Ok, tell me if you liked by REVIEWING n.n
