Papers were in your hands as you walked down the flight of stairs to get to the great hall where Harry asked you to meet them. Seems like all the students came to hang there to see others put their names in the goblet of fire to join the Triwizard tournament. Even the other two schools were there.
"Hey" You looked up to see Cedric and bunch of Hufflepuff's behind him. You hugged the papers you were examining looking at him with a smile
"Hey" You nodded to him. You notice the paper in his hands.
"You joining the tournament?" You asked him curiously walking forward
"Oh, yeah. Cheer me on?" Cedric asked with a smile on his face
"Sure" You smiled walking to the great hall but stopped to look at him
"That is if you get picked" You clicked your tongue, turning around and walking in. The Hufflepuff's laughed at that while they started to tease Cedric who just smiled like an idiot watching you walk in the great hall.
"Come on!" One of the girl Hufflepuff's said as they pushed Cedric in so he can put his name in the goblet of fire.
You walked in to be greeted by the sight of Draco and the Beauxbaton girl that you soon found out (from Pansy) that her name was Aisha Perks, Pureblood. Your eyes meet the silver ones that were piercing through you. Turning away, you walked up to Harry who smiled at you. You stood beside him examining the papers. Cedric puts his name in and everyone claps for him.
Soon Fred and George started to make noise.
"Well lads, we did it" Fred said
"Cooked it up this morning" George showed the bottle in his hand.
"Its not going to work" You chimed in while flipping through your research making sure it was all fine. The twins looked at you while Hermione who now sat beside you chuckled.
Fred and George walked up behind you "Oh yeah?"
"Why is that, Y/n?"
Hermione cleared her throat to explained.
"What are you wearing?" Harry asked looking you up and down. You sneered at his stupid question which you answer sassily and sarcastically
"Garbage" You rolled your eyes looking through the papers "Of course, clothes" You glared at him
"You aren't your robes" Ron pointed out
"What is that?" Aisha laughed earning you to snap your head to her in a flash. Your nostrils flared up.
"Where did you come from? Garbage land?" Aisha mocked laughing with her Beauxbaton girls. Draco stayed silent leaning on the wall as he stared at you.
"Calm down. Don't let her get to you" Harry said. You looked down to see what they meant. You were wearing a dirty white t-shirt, ripped jeans and your lab coat.
"Hermione" Ron called for the girl. Who was busy staring at Krum who had now submitted his name to the goblet and everyone clapped.
"Its fine. Its the smoke that's why its dirty" You stated pointing to your shirt
"Hey, I'm talking to you bitch!" Yelled the Beauxbaton stuck up girl Aisha. Your eye twitched
"You have been having the dreams not by coincidence. From what I came up, It more of a vision then a dream. Like your seeing something, a memory. If that makes sense" You said handing Harry the papers but it got burned into ashes from a spell the Aisha girl had.
"Alright! That's it! I'm gonna kill her!" You yelled walking over to Aisha who was laughing with her beauxbaton girls. You were about to punch her but Draco held your wrist, turning you to him.
"Stop" He said firmly.
"Wait, hold on a second" You said chuckling at him bitterly
"Your sticking up for this girl who you met just a week ago then sticking up for me?" You asked him in disbelief
"Y/n, Stop" Draco said more firmly as you looked at him feeling betrayed and weak. You snatched your hand away so his grip would let go of your wrist.
"I. Hate. You" You whispered with venom but everyone heard it with how silent the hall got. Everyone stared at the two of you. Draco's firm stare now softened with pain.
"You don't mean that..." Draco said
"A week, Draco...A week!" You yelled to him
"I just wanted to be alone for one night! One fucking night! Then the next day when I go to look for you. You are with her!" You screamed at him then pointed to Aisha who looked at you shocked from your outburst.
"Its been a week and who are you with? Her!"
"You aren't even together" Aisha scoffed rolling her eyes
"Don't get into this" You snapped to her. Eyes glimmering with anger. You looked at Draco again.
"Y/n, not in front of them–" You cut him off
"Then when, Draco!? I am seriously done with what has been happening" You said loudly as you could feel the tears wanting to fall freely like a river. You turned around to just walk away not wanting the fight to get bigger making the situation harder but Draco grabbed your wrist making you turn
"Y/n, I'm sorry"
You jolt your hand away staring at him in disbelief, anger and sadness.
"That is where you are really good at just because you know how to get to me!" You said pointing to his chest, pushing him as he stumbling back a bit from the force you extracted to push him. Draco just looked at you. He also looked hurt but you were hurting more with the fact that he was ignoring you and is with her all the time.
Was love really meant to hurt this bad?
"One smile, One hug, One Sorry. My world is spinning again" You said as tears now falled freely, down your cheek.
"Fuck, Draco" You pushed your hair back looking at him.
"I'm a smart person but when it comes to you I get stupid" You pointed to him. Draco looked down, letting his own tears fall and hit the floor of the great hall. Everyone was frozen and awkward not knowing what to do. Whether to bring you both apart or leave to let you do your own business or stay. You tried to wipe your tears with your lab coat but it only kept falling as you sniffled looking to the side before back at Draco
"You are courting me. We aren't even dating yet but your already seeing another girl. Will you do that when your dating me? Will you cheat on me? Am i not enough for you? Am i not good enough?" You asked him all those questions. Draco looked up, he also looked like a mess. Like you right now. Both of you were shedding tears of pain and sadness.
"Tell me, Draco!" You screamed at him pushing him
"Tell me!" You yelled pushing him again. Draco didn't do anything but let you push him.
"Was I just your toy? Did you court me just because you were bored? Am i not pretty enough for you? Is it because I am a half-blood? Is it because you hate my brother!? Tell me!" You yelled so loudly making some flinch and jump. Daphne covered her mouth to stop the sobs from escaping her mouth.
"Answer me, Draco!!"
But he still didn't say anything
"It hurts! It hurts so fucking much and I am getting so fucking tired, Draco" You cried covering your face but let your hands fall to your side looking at Draco who just stared at you not knowing what to say
"I'm sorry" Draco whispered
"What makes that sorry different?" You asked him looking so done
"No matter what I say, I was wrong. I hurt you" Draco said directly looking into your eyes. You sniffled and just stared at his beautiful silver eyes and you hates the fact you are the reason why he is shedding tears but he hurt you so bad. How can things go wrong with one fight? With one night of being apart?
"Hurt?" You asked him
"You boys, when you play around you think you just hurt us girls? You expect us to cry in a corner? Sleep off the pain then wake up the next day feeling okay?" You asked him sniffling. Professors walked in but stopped after seeing all the students silent and watching you and Draco.
"Miss Potter—" McGonagall was cut off by Dumbledore who nodded no.
"That is what we want. I hope its that easy but it's not" You said in a whisper. A sob escaping your lips as you looked down to the floor, closing your eyes. Aisha felt bad at what she was doing now seeing the scene in front of her.
"Our minds wont stop thinking of answer to our many questions...Why did he do that? Am I not enough? Is there something lacking? Is there something wrong with me? Am i ugly?" You asked brokenly looking at him giving him examples of the many questions that run in your mind
"Am I replaceable?" You asked
"No" Draco answered shaking his head as he let out a shaky breath.
"Then why!?" You screamed at him in pain. He flinched as you covered your face, crying in them. Letting out sobs of pain. You were shattering both of you were. It hasn't started yet but it was already ending in a blink of an eye.
"I'm not a toy...If you cant be serious. Lets just end whatever is happening before we get more hurt then we already are" You said taking off your hands from your face.
"No.. Love, I am serious. Please just— I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you" Draco cried reaching out for you as he grabbed your hand pulling you to a hug. He hugged you tightly not wanting to let you go as he cried in your shoulder. You just stood there crying, drained of energy, feeling too weak for your liking. Your heart was aching..
"I never wanted to hurt you...I never meant to hurt you..." Draco whispered
"Don't say that!" You pushed him
"It makes it hard to be mad at you!" You yelled at him. Draco sniffled pushing his blonde hair back. Both of you stayed silent for a couple of seconds letting the tension drop a little.
"I don't know how one fight brought us to this but I want the fighting to stop. It hurts so badly, Draco. Seeing you with her every fucking single day when you told me you love me a hundred times." You said bringing your hand to your chest, clenching on the shirt.
"Just tell me...tell me you don't love me and I'll try" You bite your lip, trying to stop the sob from escaping. You sniffled
"I'll try to move on. To disappear from your life like I never existed...but don't tell me you don't love me because it will hurt. Lie to me..." You begged him
"Lie to me that you love me and I wont ever bother you or talk to you again, Draco" You sniffled. Draco clenched his fist, biting his lip
"Lie to me.. Lie you love me. Tell me you love me one last time" You begged him, your lips quivering. Draco walked forward to you. You stared at him as he stared back at you. He grabbed your hand, intertwining his fingers with you.
"I remember holding your hand for the first time when we got detention in the forbidden forest when we were in our first year" Draco said. It made you looked to the side, your lips quivering as you sniffled. You closed your eyes tears falling. The memory flashing before both of you.
"You were scared...I was scared but I pushed it aside" Draco chuckled at the memory. You looked at him, sniffling.
"That moment...Let my heart beat in a different rhythm. My heart started to beat for you and it still beats for you" Draco whispered caressing the back of your hand with his thumb. You bite your lips. A tear falling gracefully by its own to your cheek before it fell to the floor.
Draco tugged you to him and you were pulled into a hug. Your hands slowly went up clenching on the side of his robes.
"I remember hugging you..at the end of the 2nd year. You run to my arms after being petrified. I was so terrified. You told me you were here and that you were back. I promise to protect you that night when you found the blood written on the wall...but I couldn't protect you. You told me it was okay. I asked you to not leave me and you said you wouldn't" Draco said closing his eyes, pulling you closer. You buried your head on his chest, letting the tears fall as you let your wall crumble. Letting him hug you. Inhaling his addicting cologne. Feeling his warmth and skin touch yours.
Both of you completely forgetting the students and professors that stood watching in silent. Some in tears and some just silently watching.
"And I told myself that I would do a much better job to protect you and make sure no one ever ever harms you" Draco pulled away before cupping your face, wiping the fallen and dried tears away. He smiled painfully and softly before leaning in and claiming your lips so ever softly. He deepened it, closing his eyes. You had your eyes open while staring at him before closing yours as well. Letting yourself feel his lips that you missed. You clenched your grip on his robes tighter.
Both of you stayed like that very still before Draco pulled away. Both of you flattering your eyes open.
"The start of 3rd year...I remember riding a carriage with you to the great hall. When the moon light shined through the window to show you— Merlin, that was when I notice how beautiful you are. I saw the light when that moonlight shined. When you looked at me with those beautiful e/c eyes then I lost it. I kissed you...I touched your lips for the first time in forever" Draco said leaning his forehead against yours as his thumb caressed your bottom lip. Both of you look at each other's eyes.
"I wanted to make you feel like you are the most beautiful amazing girl in the entire world. I wanted to call you mine. I wanted to be yours" He whispered ever so lightly. You closed your eyes, the tears that stopped falling now fell again. It seems like your tears weren't dry yet. You still had so much to cry out.
"I never meant to make you cry...I never meant to hurt you, baby" Draco whispered as he pulled away, still cupping your face and not letting you go. Afraid that you would drift away from his reach.
"You make me so crazy. I would wait for you to say yes to me. I would be the happiest when you say your second yes to me. No one could ever compare to you— No one could make me feel this way but you" Draco caressed your cheek with his thumb as you leaned to his warmth staring at him.
"You want me to lie to you right?" Draco asked you but you couldn't answer. Draco smiled softly staring at your face.
"Then I'll lie"
Draco leaned forward and pecked your forehead as you closed your eyes. He slowly leaned his forehead against yours. Closing his eyes as well.
"I don't love you, Y/n Potter" Draco whispered "and I will stop loving you..."
I love you, Y/n Potter and I will never ever stop loving you...
Your eyes shut open looking into his eyes that were already open. You tried to look for anything in his eyes saying that he was lying but it only showed love and adoration and honesty.
"I will not wait for your yes"
I will wait for your yes
"Because I don't want to be with you and hopefully I wouldn't hear your second yes because I don't want to grow old with you"
Because I want to be with you and hopefully I would hear your second yes because I want to grow old with you
Draco smiled softly and lovingly
"My heart doesn't beat for you and only you don't have the key to my heart"
My heart beats for you and only you have the key to my heart
"You are not my princess and you will never be my queen"
You are my princess and you will be my queen
"I don't love you, Y/n Potter"
I love you, Y/n Potter
Tears kept falling not from pain or sadness or anger but from being happiness, being overwhelmed and feeling happy in general but the you were too overwhelmed from what he said. You were in shocked and surprised that he said does words.
"There I lied. Happy now?" Draco asked letting go of your cheek as his hands found there way to your hands that were by your side. Without thinking, you took your hands away from his hold
"I'm sorry...I-I— I'm sorry" You said feeling to overwhelmed turning around and running off pushing through the professors. Draco stood there staring at the path you ran off to. He's hands found there way to his pockets.
Take all the time you need, Love. I know I overwhelmed you. I will be patient and be here when you are ready for everything again.
Draco thought.
