Chapter 51 - The Christmas Break Pt. 2

"So yeah, now you know everything about me. Oh, and I forgot, Snape is my Godfather" I said scoffing at my own statement.

Draco was still quiet, like he wanted to me say 'Got you' at the end of what I just told him. He didn't say anything for a couple of minutes. And for the first time, I was not comfortable with the silence between us.

"I-I understand, if you don't want anything from me now, I-I'd stay away, if you like" I said breaking the silence.

He didn't say anything, and his silence answered for him. I closed my books and said, "Hope you'll keep this to yourself, at least. Not a single soul rather than who already know, can know about this. I hope to see you around, Malfoy" I got up and left the library, still crying.

Draco's POV

It has been 2 days since Olivia told me everything about her. It was a lot to take in. I couldn't believe what she told, I still don't. I haven't seen her in two days. She hasn't left her dorm. I had been going normally with my day. I mean it didn't mean anything to me, now did it? So, I stayed clear of her. 

But why does my mind and heart keep going back at her? Why does it crave for her? Why does my day not go by without her? Why does she have that effect on me? Yes, I like her, but this feels something totally different. This is love, yes, but still it is so much more than that. I miss spending time with her, I miss our study lessons, I miss her singing, I miss how her hair fell on her face, I miss her dark green eyes, I miss everything that happened in the past years, now that I don't have her.

But what if the curse broke because of me? Yes, she told me about Potter and their kiss. But the day she was brought to the Hospital wing, I realized my true feelings for her, when I saw her bloodied hands, when she was in pain, my heart ached for her. Yes, I may have not kissed her, but what if the curse wasn't meant to be broken by a kiss, like some fairytale, but by realizing those true feelings? Plus, I didn't even know she had so many powers until two days ago. So, yes, I wanted her for her. Maybe I did break the curse...

In a week, everyone's going to be back. I don't know, what I'll do. With what my mother gave me this Christmas, I-I.... argh, I don't know what to do.

I sighed loudly and looked at my mother's gift that was on my bedside table. I turned on the table lamp and stared at the gift. I made a decision, I had to see her. I quickly put on a shirt and went to the Gryffindor Tower.

I was just hoping that someone would've been out so they could let me in. I went there and saw no one. I waited for a minute or two, but no one came.

I finally knocked at the portrait. The Fat Lady shooing me away, when a voice from inside said, "Who is it?"

"Erm, Draco Malfoy" I said whispering.

"What do you want?" they asked from inside.

"Just... Olivia. Erm, tell her that I am outside here waiting for her, that I want to talk to her, that I-I am sorry" I said sadly.

I was looking down when the door opened and I looked at the person who was talking.

"Go, get her" she said smiling at me.

I want to get her, but she doesn't. Oh, what do I tell you?

"Thank you" I muttered and went up the girls' dorm.

I knocked on her door, no answer. I knocked again. No answer.

"Olivia, I know you're in there. Just open the door, before I break it!" I said raising my voice a little.

You idiot! Is she gonna open the door, if you're raising your voice at her?

"Olivia" I said calmly and softly, "Please, open the door"
