The Hogwarts Beauty Pt 5 (Draco Malfoy Love Story)

Chapter 28 - Sectumsempra

Gracey's POV - The Next Morning

Belle has not been back yet, which got me and Hermione worried.

"Where could she be?" I said as I rubbed my temples.

"Calm down, Gracey. She might be with the clan." said Hermione.

"She wouldn't go anywhere, without telling me." I said.

Hermione sighed. Then the door opened.

It was Belle.

"Where have you been?!" I scolded her. But then I saw her eyes and they were all red and puffy.

"What happened to you, Belle?" Hermione asked.

She just shook her head and went to sit on the couch.

"Do you want something, Belle. Like anything?" Hermione asked.

She nodded.

"I'll go get something then."

Hermione left the common room.

"You knew...." she said.
"Knew what?" I asked her.
"You knew Draco was a Death Eater." she said.

My eyes widen at that.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked.

"He told me not to." I replied.

Belle looked at me with tears.
I sat beside her and she starts crying again.

"I can't believe it. He did that to protect me." she cried, softly.

"He loved you, you know." I said.

Belle nodded. "And I love him."
"Does that mean...you and Draco are back together?" I asked.

She wiped her tears and nodded.
"But aren't you happy that the both of you are back together?" I asked again.

"I am, but what happens if...." she trailed off.

"If what?" I asked. She was about say something but Hermione came back.

"Belle, why you're crying?" she asked.

Hermione gave her something to drink to warm her up.

"Draco and I are back together." she said.

"Well, that's great, isn't it?" Hermione asked.

"It is, but...." she trailed off again.
"But what?" Hermione asked.

The portrait was opened again. Harry and Ron came.

"Ron, you're feeling better?" I asked.
He smiled and nodded.

"Thank goodness." I said.
Then they glanced at Belle.

"What's wrong, Belle. I don't like the look on your face." said Harry.

I looked at Belle and she had that sad look.

I wonder if she will tell that she's back with Draco.

"It's nothing." she replied.
Then she smiled. "I'm just happy that Ron's okay."

That's a fake smile. I thought.

I don't want to talk about it, Gracey. Belle said in my mind.

"Come on, guys. Let's go eat." I suggested.
We nodded and went the Great Hall.
