SparrowLillies - Oh yes, very soon! Well your about to find out.

28. The Lie and Saviour

The week slowly past and Saturday finally arrived. Winter was slowly building so I pulled on my pea coat jacket and beanie. I walked into the common room and saw Krista. "Hey, what you doing here?" I asked her when she saw me.

"George asked me on a date. I said yes but Fred is tagging along." I nodded and she spoke again, "Are you meeting up with Dorian?"

I nodded and replied, "He's meeting me here and we're going to the Three Broomsticks. I don't wanna go, but I don't want to be rude." Krista nodded and heard someone tap on the painting door. At that moments the Twins also appeared. "Better get going. Have fun." I said to her with a smile. She nodded and I opened the door, to reveal Dorian.

"Hey, you ready?" He asked. I nodded and stepped out, leaving the painting open as the other trio was about to leave. We stayed silent as we walked down the stairs and out of the school, following dribs and drabs of other students making their way to Hogsmeade.

"So, how are things between you and Melissa?" I asked, hoping they were getting together soon.

Dorian coughed and dodged the question by asking, "How are you feeling?"

I nodded and replied, "Bored, it's no fun when I'm not talking to the group without any awkward atmosphere." He nodded and we walked into the Three Broomsticks.

We sat at a table in the corner and ordered two Butterbeers, which Dorian paid for both. I thanked him and took a sip, trying to wish the time would pass faster. "Where's your friends?" I asked him, breaking the uncomfortable silence.

He swallowed and replied, "They are...somewhere. They not really talking to me at the moment."

I looked at him, "Why?"

He sighed, hint of frustration as he replied, "Reasons I don't want to talk about." I looked away from him, the convocation dropped as he was slowly changing before me. The wooden door flew open and Krista with the twins walked in, sitting at the stools.

I sighed and Dorian finished his drink then looked at me. "I need to talk to you. Can we go somewhere more...quiet?"

I clutched my drink and replied, "I haven't finished my Butterbeer."

He sighed in small frustration again and said, "We can come back and get another one. Now, can we?" He motioned to the door and after a few seconds, I sighed in defeat and nodded, letting out a gasp as he lashed out and grabbed my wrist, pulling me out of the pub.

We walked down the street, the cold air pinching at my face. "Dorian, let go of me, your hurting me." I exclaimed. He turned into a dark, dingy alley and then let me go. "What are you doing? You're acting strange." I said to him, sounding braver than I actually felt.

He leaned against the wall and replied slowly, "They said I was stupid. That I should give you space, give you a chance to get over Fred, but you were taking so long!"

I stared at him, keeping my distance as I questioned, "Who said?"

He looked at me, "My so called 'friends'. Melissa, Onyx, Connor and Alec. They said there's plenty more girls in the school, that I was being a bit obsessive of you. But their wrong. I'm not obsessive, I can't help liking you."

"You don't like me! You don't know me! I said we could stay friends, I still love Fred, always have, always will. I can't go out with you and pretend to like you, that's wrong!" I shot back, stepping back from him approaching me, my back hitting the wall.

Dorian stood close and brushed my hair behind my ear, "I can make you like me. I can make you forget about Fred and focus all on me."

My eyes grew wide as he leaned down, "No-" I started to protest but was cut off as Dorian's lips crashed down on mine.

His lips felt desperate to try and make me get weak and press against him. But I wouldn't. I pushed at his firm, strong body to get him off me. His hands started to try and get my coat off and I screamed against his mouth, hoping this would end soon - somehow. My prayer seemed to be answered as Dorian's body was knocked off me. "You should treat ladies with more respect." The voice said sternly. I looked at the figure and choked on a sob when I saw it was Fred, looking angry.

Dorian wiped his bloody lip as he laid on the floor, "Well isn't it the jealous ex? Trying to win her back by acting as the hero?"

"I don't need to act, or win her back. She said pretty loud and clear that she loved me, and I love her. So next time, listen and you won't end up on the floor bloody." Fred shot back.

Dorian spat out some blood and slowly stood up, "Whatever." He muttered and stumbled out of the alley and away from us.

Fred looked at me with soft eyes and caught me as my legs gave out, "Hey, never knew I was that good looking for girls to faint."

I let out a laugh mixed with a sob and clutched to him. "You were right. He was different from when I first met him. He tried to kiss me and...Oh Merlin, he was trying to take off my coat and Merlin knows what else." I cried.

Fred held me and rubbed my back. "Shh, it's not your fault, you didn't know. We were both stupid."

I looked at him as he put his hand on my cheek. "Is it true, what you said to him about still loving me?" I asked him as we walked slowly out of the alley, Fred's arm around my shoulder and his other hand holding mine.

He nodded and we sat down on a bench. "I was telling the truth. When you dumped me, I felt...sad. Lost. Heartbroken. George everyday kept telling me that I should have gone up to you, hugged you tight and whisper, 'I'm sorry'. I tried but always ending up failing. Then in the Room of Requirement, when you came up to me and gave me back my wand, I wanted to see your smile and give you a hug, but I knew that wouldn't happen. Scy-"

I silenced him by pressing my lips to his and this time, I put love into it which Fred returned. He held me close and when we broke apart, he whispered to me, "Please Scylla, will you go back out with me. I love you too much to let you go again." I nodded and let him hug me tight, finally feeling safe again. We stood from the bench and with our hands entwined, we went back to The Three Broomsticks to tell George and Krista we were back together again and this time, we won't going to break up..
