Ummmm...Hi? I'm sorry! I'm so so so very incredibly indescribably sorry for how bad i have been a posting.
I hope at least some of you are still with me.
On the way back to the Gryffindor tower, I told them what Malfoy had said. Judging by the looks on their faces, they didn't believe me. It was nothing new. I swear that they both thought I was crazy. But I know what I saw and I know what I heard and if they don't want to believe me then fine. I will just have to get more evidence and prove it to them that I am not nuts. I looked back and noticed Ari trailed behind with a soft frown. Merlin she was beautiful. Traditionally beautiful without all that muck those other girls wear all the time. No, she was all class.
"What's wrong?" I asked softly falling behind as Hermione and Ron began to warm up into an argument. They really seemed to be doing this a lot lately. I was unsure if it was the sexual tension growing or not but I wasn't game enough o same something. I had been on the end of a Hermione rant before and it wasn't fun. She turned and granted me a small smile. My heart skipped a beat.
"It's nothing." She said softly. I raised an eyebrow and pursed my lips.
"You are a terrible liar you know." I staged whispered. She giggled.
"It's just…I 'ave a feeling that I know the name Malfoy from somewhere but I can't remember. It's almost as if it's out of my reach." She said softly.
"Well all you need to know about the name Malfoy is that they are evil, slimy gits who deserve everything that get coming to them. And if that's death than all the better for the rest of the world." I said sharply. She laid a hand on my arm and pursed her lips. Here it comes. It was the same look Hermione got before she gave me a lecture of my anger and how I shouldn't "wish death upon anyone even if it is Malfoy for there is too much hatred and death in the world around". As if I didn't know that! How the hell does she think everyone is expecting to save them?
"So I am guessing that you are not very close to him then?" she asked softly. I looked at her sharply. No lecture? A joke? Wow, could this girl get any better?
"You're not going to lecture me on how i shouldn't wish death on anybody?" i asked, coming to a stop to turn and stare at her. She bit her lip and shook her head.
"No. Although i am not happy with the way the world is and how many innocents are being killed daily, i can understand the deep hatred that comes with wanting someone dead." Ari smiled softly. "But i am guessing that 'Ermione is the lecturing one?" i nodded dumbly, too stunned to talk. She got it. She got me!
"Besides, you are a good guy 'Arry. I know you wouldn't wish someone dead without a solid decent reason." She added before pulling me along.
"Well they all are..." She stopped and put a finger on my lips. I was about to describe to her how vile and evil that family was.
"You don't need to explain to me 'Arry. I trust you and I believe you. If you say they are vile and evil than they are. I jsut..."
she was cut off my Hermione yelling out her name while holding open the portrait door.
"You coming?" Hermione asked with a small smile. Ari nodded and turned back to me.
"Just don't be guided by your hatred. Otherwise you will lose yourself in the darkness." She said softly before reaching up and kissing my cheek.
"And you are much to 'andsome to be evil." She winked before following Hermone into the Common room. I stood in the corridor like a idiot, holding my cheek. It tingled where she had kissed it. Merlin,. I was in big trouble.
