Chapter Four: Bad Encounters
I kept my head down as I walked to my dorm room. But before I could get to the stairs Draco grabbed a hold of my arm. I spun around and stared him hard in the face
"If you have any common sense you would let go of my arm." my words were soaked in venom. I felt myself being rapped around with anger. It was enveloping me into a dark pit. As much as I tried not to lose control, I felt myself getting angrier and angrier. My eyes burned with my anger. That's when Draco let go looking scared. I regained control over myself. Draco leaned on the chair that was behind him. He looked terrified.
(Draco's POV)
When I saw Bella enter the room I got up from my chair. She had her head down and would not look up at me. She was almost to the stairs when I grabbed her arm. She spun around and looked me right into my face angrily.
"If you had any common sense you would let go of my arm." she spat in my face. I felt hurt by her words and was about to say something when I saw her eyes change. Instead of their usual bright green, they completely turned black and had a menacing look to them. I felt her arm get hot and if I hadn't pulled away I would have probably burned my hand.
I leaned back on the chair behind me in fright. Her eyes finally turned back to normal and she seemed to relax. She looked at me and turned slightly angry again. She turned on her heel and walked away.
"Bella!" I yelled. She was halfway up the steps when she turned around.
"Maybe it would be best if you stayed away from me." she said. "This just can't happen."
"What do you mean?" I asked shocked. "Is it about today cause I'm really sorry. I didn't know and-"
"It's not that." she said to me backing up the stairs. "It something else. Just please don't make this difficult." She then ran up the stairs leaving me so confused.

(Bella's POV)
I woke up in the middle of the night panting and sweating. I had a terrible dream of the days when I was a little girl. I could still hear the screams of my parents. I shivered at the thought of that dreadful night. Since I was awake I decided to pull out my iPod.
As I pulled back the curtain on my bed, I noticed a figure standing in the door. They lit their wand and I saw that it was Draco. I sighed. He was never going to listen to my warnings.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I'm worried about you." he said as he walked over to my bed and sat at the end. "You scared me last night. What's going on with you? Your eyes..."He seemed scared to talk about what had happened last night. I was afraid to bring it up too.
"Nothing." I quickly answered. "You saw nothing last night. Now go back to your room cause I'm still mad at you for what you did yesterday."
"Listen I'm really sorry about what I said." he whispered to me leaning forward. "I didn't know. Please don't be mad at me." Seeing that I wasn't any happier he added, "If it makes you feel any better, I won't be mean to Potter and them anymore. Well at least not around you." I could tell he was really sorry and that he meant what he said.
"I accept your apology. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna talk to you about what happened last night." I know by accepting his apology, I was showing him weakness. But I couldn't help but crumble under his soft stare. "It's not something you would want to hear about me."
"Try me." he said with a smirk on his face.
"Maybe another time." I said with uncertainty. "When it's not 3:00 in the morning."
"Fine. Then we can talk about it tomorrow." I was about to tell him that I really couldn't since I had that date with Ron, but I left it out. He seemed like he was in a good mood. I didn't want to ruin it. He got up from my bed and walked silently out of the room. I wasn't sure how I was going to explain my past to him. I didn't even know if I could explain it to him. It hurt too much thinking about it. The pain that night had caused was just too much.
