Chapter 32 – Friends Are Friends
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were at the fifth year meetings for career advice, and her friends were off doing something, so she sought out Draco. She went down to the Slytherin common room first, and had to try and guess the password.
'Pureblood,' Nothing happened 'Slytherins rule. Really? Who set that password?' she said as the portrait swung open. She stepped inside, and a few of the Slytherins who hadn't ever really gotten used to the idea that she and Draco were together, stared at her.
'Where's Draco?' she asked Blaise Zabini, he gestured over to the corner where Draco was sat reading a book.
She walked over to him, and placed a hand on his shoulder, 'hey,' she said,
He looked up, and smiled at her, 'hey,' he got up, took her hand, and they went for a walk around the grounds for a while. She saw her friends having fun on the grass by the lake, and couldn't help but feel a little left out.
Draco saw the hurt look on her face as she looked at them, and told her to go and talk to them. She smiled gratefully at him, and went over to her friends. They immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at her.
'Hi,' she said awkwardly,
'Where's Harry?' Catherine asked
'Careers meeting,'
'Malfoy's there too I presume?'
'No, the Slytherins have theirs tomorrow with Snape. I just felt like coming over here.'
'Really?' She asked skeptically, but also seemed genuinely surprised.
They looked at her for a moment, they were all being quite cool towards her and she wasn't quite sure why,
'What got your wand in a knot?'
She shrugged.
'Tell me, what's wrong with you guys? You can tell me, we're friends aren't we?'
'Are we though?' Matthew asked, she looked over at him, hurt by his remark.
'Why wouldn't we be?'
'Friends spend time with each other, like we do. You don't spend time with us Larissa, you obviously don't want to be friends anymore.'
'If that's what you think, then-'
'Then what?' Emily said, Emily was normally a quiet girl, but now the only people who were remaining silent were Amelia and Will.
She looked round at them all, and ran back inside the castle, running past Draco, and into the library. She pulled a book off of a shelf and sat down at a table, she opened the book without looking to see what it was, and stared at the words, not reading it.
How could her friends do that to her? She did hang out with them, the last time she did was in the common room a few days before. Although, she didn't speak to them, just sat there. The time before that was... She couldn't remember.
'I'm an awful friend,' she muttered.
'-Want to talk to Sirius,' she heard Harry's voice coming from the table the other side of the bookshelf that she was next to.
He could use my mirror, although Dad never answers it anymore. She thought, she then heard Ginny's voice
'Ah, well this is what comes from growing up with Fred and George. You start to believe that anything is possible if you have enough nerve.'
She felt a tap on her shoulder, and saw Draco behind her,
'Everything okay pet?'
'I'm a terrible friend.' He pulled her into his arms
'You're not a bad friend.' And when she tried to talk again, he continued, 'you're a very good friend.'
A/N: I hope you liked it, why doesn't Sirius ever answer the mirror you ask? Well i do know, but for now you cannot know Mwahaha!
