The Shield || Draco Malfoy love story

Sleepover time! (Part 2) [13]

"You have an arranged marriage, don't you?" The rest of the girls in the room turn their heads towards Hermione. She asked once more towards Lucy.

We are waiting for her response.

"Yeah," Lucy let a loose piece of hair that was tucked behind her ear falling into her face, acting as some sort of barrier to keep her safe.

"To who?" Ginny asked, Lucy simply shrugged.

"I don't know too be honest. All I know is that it's going to be one of the sacred 28, but besides that, I have no clue. Usually, our parents tell us a year before we graduate." Letting out a sigh, she finishes off by saying, "As my mother has always said, 'Toujours Pur' always pure."

"No," Ginny stated, making the lot of us stared wide eyed the redhead.

What?" Lucy questions, still in shock by the young Weasley's outburst.

"No, they can't make you do that! That's wrong! You should be able to fall in love with who you want, not some of the chosen for you! You should be able to marry a woman or man and be happy. It's not your duty to marry pure blood to carry a child." Ginny has been down to Lucy's level giving her embrace.

"Marriage is about love, not duty." Lucy let out the biggest grin as she wrapped her arms around Ginny.

Who would've thought him Malfoy and Weasley becoming friends?

Sneaking out of the dormitory was quite a challenge as Hermione was the lightest sleeper I've ever met. In the common room, the fire was still lit and crackling. I laid on the empty couch, stretching as far as I could.

Today was a good day. Lucy finally has someone to be with her throughout the day instead of me. Hopefully, one day Lucy and Malfoy mend things back together. I know one day they will, it just might take a while.

Hearing the creaking of the floorboard, I quickly jump up looking at the stairwell. Harry, I sigh laying back down onto the couch. He makes his way to stand on the side of the couch, next to my head. Looking up to meet his gaze, I see him looking towards the fire.

"Do you want me to leave or what?" I asked him annoyed, I know I shouldn't be mad at him. I guess I'm just confused. I know I should've told Harry about what Draco called me, but he already had enough stuff to worry about. Last year was quite a bit of a mess towards the end.

"No, I wanted to say sorry." Pulling myself up to sit up, I look towards my cousin. "I'm sorry that I got mad at you, but I'm not sorry about the feeling betrayed." I raise an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Melody, you should be able to tell me these things! But you didn't tell me anything! We are supposed to be a team..., but why can't we be there for each other. We've barely talked about what the hell happened last year." I look down.

"Melody, you got hurt because of me. You have a giant purple bruise on your throat for a month. Anytime I did close to you, you've would flinch. Whenever something related to Voldemort comes up, you get a pain in your wrist and the shield! We have even talked about what the hell that is!" Harry's voice begins to waver, "I-I I'm afraid you're going to get hurt again, and it's going to be my fault that you'll..." He sniffles.

I cut him off by bringing him into a tight embrace.

"Shut up." I cry into the crook of his neck. We both sit there for a moment, arms in arms, crying, to each other.

After we felt like ours but which was it just a few minutes we pulled away. We both looked at each other, embarrassed before, wiping away our tears.

"Okay," Harry fixing his glasses tilt his head.

"Uh?" He asked.

"Let's talk about everything, no more secrets."

I'm getting so bad at updating that I forgot with this book was about..., I legit had to go back and read my chapters to remember what I even did. Usually, I have this all written, but I lost my notebook for the story. So I'm just kind of free bawling it. I really should get another notebook to write everything down, so I'm not having myself confused.
•
Anyway, nothing really to say here. If, you care about what's happening in my life. I just did my end of semester testing. I am currently studying animal science, and I made an 81 on my most recent test, so that's exciting. My next one I haven't finished it it's another animal science test and to be completely honest I'm not that confident about it. What else? Also, got rammed in the leg by a goat.
•
In my classroom, we have about 20 class pets that we have to take care of, like have lizards, snakes, tarantula's, goats, pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, ferrets, you name it we most likely have it. Anyway, that's pretty much what's been happening with me.
•
Also during, the Christmas break, I almost got outed to my family as queer, but luckily I wasn't.

Don't forget to wash your hands!
