Claimer: I own Gred and Forge's Every Flavour Ice Cream! (:

A/N: I'm quite concerned; I haven't had a review since Chapter 25. Is 'Returning' so bad that you don't want to review? I'm not one of those people who says "IF I DON'T GET ANY REVIEWS THEN I'M NOT GOING TO CONTINUE! I HATE YOU ALL FOR NOT REVIEWING!!!" but I'll admit that I am dissappointed. I honestly didn't think Returning was terrible. But, anyway, this is the last part ... so you won't have to suffer with it any more. After this, we'll be back to normal unrelated crap (:

Title: Returning
Genre: Romance, sort of...

"Changed your mind yet?"

I freeze, my tongue outstretched, the tip of it pressed against my Gred and Forge's Every Flavour Ice Cream ("A different flavour with every lick!"). It has been three weeks since that situation at the Leaky Cauldron and I thought he was gone for good. I was wrong.

"No."

"Even thought about it?"

"No."

My replies are tense and clipped, and I'm too scared to turn around and face those stormy grey eyes.

"Why won't you take me back?" he pleads.

I sigh, gather my Gryffindor courage and turn around. "Girls flirt with the dangerous guy, Draco, they don't bring him home."

"What happens to the good guy?"

"They marry the good guy."

"I could be your good guy." His eyes are filled with such sorrow and helplessness that I can feel myself giving in. No. I can't let that happen.

I shake my head. "I'm sorry, Draco, but to me, you'll always be viewed as the dangerous guy. No matter how much you change."

"Who's your good guy, then?" His eyes now hold nothing but defeat. Just defeat. I feel myself breaking, but I force the barriers up again.

"I haven't found him yet, but I will. Eventually."

He sighs. "Are you sure I can't be your good guy?"

"I'm sure, Draco."

He looks at me sadly and I resist the swelling urge to give in, turning and walking away.

"Girls flirt with the dangerous guy, they don't bring him home. They marry the good guy." - X-Men 2.

A/N: Ladida. The next chapter actually involves Draco... but it has nothing to do with this xD
