Emma { New version }

Terms and conditions of first love

No, this trick won't work... How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?

― Albert Einstein

Eight years later on Draco's ninth birthday, Emma finally decided to tell one of Draco's mates her true feelings about him. She was completely sure he felt the same but if not she didn't understand what this would do their "friendship" if he did not accept. She always felt tingly around him, and with four knocks her thoughts of Blaise were interrupted.

" Happy birthday, Draco ", She said smiling like a fool but soon prompting herself back to usual.

" Why are you so happy? ", he asked raising his brow in confusion.

He left after the seemingly stupid question leaving Emma quite stirred that her brother should not find out. Getting off her bed Emma got dressed up in a slightly neon rose dress. Minnie came into the bathroom to brush em's blonde curls. She tied her hair back with a black bow and made sure Emma was looking her best. As Minnie left, Emma looked at herself in the mirror for the final time. Instantly she saw imperfections big forehead, pudgy waist, extra skin on her arms, hairy legs. A million imperfections ran through her head. Blaise wouldn't want a girl with hairy legs or a big forehead, but today was her brothers birthday and she pushed it a side. Walking out of her room and to the staircase Emma reassured herself to ignore her flaws. When she walked down everyone stared in her head she thought " Do i look that bad ". Blaise came waltzing over.

" You look beautiful, Emma ", He smiled at her and instantly it felt like her heart became a puddle in her chest. His seemed slightly off as if he didnt really care but wanted her to be content with herself.

" Thank you Blaise ", She answered back shyly, and off to the side Draco began to notice the chemistry. Draco could tell Blaise didnt feel the same but didnt want to ruin it for Emma. Maybe he was wrong or maybe he was lying to her not knowingly.

They talked for a while and if you saw them you could of swore they were a thing, but that thing was bittersweet. He was tough and closed minded and she was sweet and seemingly still had her innocence. Draco pulled her away from him so he could tell her because he knew, he knew those feeling she thought he held were untrue.

" There's something you should know Emma ", Draco started he had a feeling he would regret this afterwards.

" and what is it exactly? ", Emma seemed slightly worried.

" Blaise doesnt actually like you. He's playing you like one of his little puppets Em ", Draco said biting his lip.

" That's not true " She started, backing away slightly " He does too like me and if not then why bother spending hours talking? I'm going to tell him " She raised her voice just enough for him to hear but for no one to notice.

Noticing their little argument Narcissa urges Draco to begin opening his presents so Emma can calm as well. Draco didnt want Emma to get hurt by Blaise, he didnt want anyone to hurt Emma. She was still sweet and nothing like her family so he wanted her to keep that. Emma and Draco are extremely close unlike most siblings since that day she stole his stuffed snake. She slepted with it in her bed since then but didn't tell anyone,but Minnie because she thought it was embarrassing. Minnie was the only one she trusted with secrets like that other than her diary. The day passed on rather quickly you could say. Draco had a new set of books, clothes, shoes, quidditch gear, and from his sister a very lovely new watch he adored greatly. At 7 after dinner Emma decided to tell Blaise how she felt about him and was hoping what Draco said was not true.

" Blaise,can i have a word with you? ", she said politely.

" Of course Emma ", he said smiling making her heart flutter and stomach do back-flips.

" Blaise i have had a crush on you forever and when i said forever i mean quite awhile. I really like you and i know you probably think this is weird because you are my brothers best friend and such but im just hoping you can return the feelings " she said quite shyly but with a enough confidence.

" Um Emma hate to break it to you but i cant return those feeling, i just dont like you like that. I like Daphne.Yeah you my best mates sister but no i dont like you like that ", He said looking at her with no emotion. Walking away he seemingly acted like he had not destroyed her heart.

Emma couldnt feel her body, It was numb. Draco was right. He didnt return the feelings. First crush shouldnt feel this way. It shouldnt taste like salty tears and betrayal. She had just been rejected by the only person that meant something to her.
