Dracos letters stopped coming. At first I thought it was because he's busy and doesn't have time to write, but after 4 days of not hearing from him I'm starting to worry.
"Aurelia he's probably just busy" Ginny says.
"What if he's hurt? And that's why I haven't heard from him" I shake.
"Girl you're overthinking this."
"What if I'm not though? It's been four days" I sigh. I probably was overthinking this, but before we left we promised each other to write everyday. I have sent 3 letters back and nothing in return which makes it worriesome.
A thought pops up in my head "oh my gosh!! What if he's found another girl?" I say.
"he hasn't found another girl. He's probably just busy with his father" she explains.
"I hope you are right" I look out the window.

I try to distract myself with learning to play quidditch from the weasleys and cooking with molly, but my mind always seems to wander back to Draco. My body aches for him and I will hopefully get to see him tomorrow when we go back.

When we get back to the platform I thank Molly for her hospitality and go on the train. I search every compartment for Draco but I don't see him anywhere. I end up sitting by Ginny again and she reassures me I will see him at Hogwarts. The rest of the ride I think about how we have started, with me hating him, and how we have progressed. If McGonagall didn't assign me to study with him, I never would've fell in love. The thought makes my stomach churn, I wouldn't change it for anything.  I loved the way he ran his hands through that plantinum blonde hair every so often, the way he made me feel so beautiful and so loved.

When we got to Hogwarts, I tried looking for him. I still couldn't see him.
Inside Hogwarts, I can smell the familiar aroma of candles and old books. God I have missed this place
The common room is just the same as we have left it and I decided to unpack first before going to lunch. I see a letter on my bed. My heart skipped a beat, the back said my name in fancy cursive. I carefully open the letter and recognize the handwriting as dracos

Aurelia,
I need to confess something.
When you and I first met It didn't take a genius to know that you didn't like me. Right off the bat you despised me, and I'm not sure it was because of your brother or my reputation or your friends. But When I was failing my classes and McGonagall had you tutor me, my friends thought it was the perfect opportunity to give me a dare. In our friend group I never refuse a dare so I thought this one would be a piece of cake. They dared me to make you fall in love with me. At first I never thought it would happen. I laughed at them and told them it was impossible, you were with Cedric and didn't seem like the cheating type. But they promised me 300 galleons if I got you to fall in love with me. So I told them they got a deal. It was easier than I expected it to be. I just said all the words I thought you wanted to hear. And before I was about to break it off, my friends dared me to get you to sleep with me. I refused, because I am a shitty person but not that shitty. They upped the price to 1,000 galleons and it was even harder to refuse. So on your birthday I decided to just go for it. It was easier than getting you to fall in love with me. After a while I got bored and wanted to break it off. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I wish the best for you
Draco
