Black And Green

Twenty Five

E m i l y

We had Potions and I sat next to Neville. This time, Draco sat in front of me and not in front of Neville but I played like I didn't notice.

Snape started teaching about a potion and then he ordered us to make it in twenty minutes.

"Come on Neville, let's do it" I said and he nodded before going to get the ingredients.

"So what, Neville is your pet?" Zabini asked laughing and I rolled my eyes.

"What's wrong Black? Did the cat take your tongue away?" he continued and I looked at him angry.

"Shut up" I said and I remembered the night that he was holding me so Pansy could hurt me.

"Or else what? You are going to put your daddy to hurt me?" he asked being ironic and I took a big breath trying to calm down.

"Dude, stop. I have a headache can you shut up?" Draco said and I looked at him surprised. He clearly didn't have a headache.

"Yeah mate, sorry" Zabini tapped his back and Draco nodded.

His eyes met mine and when Zabini wasn't paying attention he winked at me. I bit my lips looking away blushed.

Today was the last day that we could meet up to finish the essay and we agreed to do it at 6 pm, when Draco finishes his practise today.

I went at the astronomy tower at the right time and sat down opening my books waiting for him.

What I was feeling about Draco, I couldn't explain it. He did so many bad things to me, but he shows me his soft side. I like spending time and hanging out with him but at the same time I am afraid that all these like his good mood or his interest in me will change within seconds.

I looked at the time on my watch, it was 6.30 pm, maybe he wants to take a shower before coming or the practise took longer than the usual.

I decided to start writing the essay but not in a rush, just to keep myself busy until he comes.

Turns out, he never came.

It was 8.30 pm when I finished the essay all alone and packed my stuff to leave. I was at the aisles going to my room wondering.

Why he didn't come? He was the one that told me to meet this time and he managed to not show up.

I was passing by the Slytherin dorm and I thought about knocking for a second. But that thought flew away immediately and I started walking away. I heard the door opening while I was walking and I turned around hoping that it was him. Instead, it was a group of girls. Then, I looked forward to keep walking but thats when my eyes met up with his.

He was fixing his tie and then Pancy stood next to him closing her robe buttons. Brilliant.

I started walking towards him and he was looking at me calm.

"Hey" he said and I felt the anger growing.

"Hey? That's all you got to say?!" I yelled and he looked at me confused.

"You know what?", I said and opened my bag taking the parchment out, "here is your fucking essay finished all by myself!", I threw it on him angry and he wide opened his eyes.

"Shit, I totally forgot about it" he said biting his lips and I glanced at Pansy.

"I see" I smiled bitterly and punched his shoulder with mine before passing both of them.

"No wait Emily-" he tried to grab me but I took a few steps back.

"No" I said abruptly, "Don't touch me".

"You fucked up things, Draco" I continued and he threw his head back.

"I know it, okay?! That's what I always fucking do. Maybe we have a lot more in common than what you think" he said and I laughed ironically.

"Yes, but at least I don't fuck everything around me on purpose. You find pleasure by knowing the power that you have over people, don't you Draco?" I said moving closer to him.

"You don't know what you are talking about" he spat his words out pointing his finger at me.

"Really? Well, today's episode proved everything correct of what I've said actually" I crossed my arms and he opened his nostrils with how much angry he was.

"I guess she does it good huh?" I asked but he didn't reply.

"Having sex with her was waaay better than do the fucking essay with me as you promised!" I shouted hitting his chest and he grabbed my wrists.

"Look at me" he hissed and I shook my head.

"Leave me" I said and he pressed my hands harder.

"Emily" he warned when I was pushing him away hard. I want to get away from him.

"Draco, leave me. Please. Let me go" I whispered and he did it immediately. I looked at him for one last time and he had no expression. I swallowed hard before turning around and started walking to my room.

[..]

"Hey Emil- what's wrong with you?" George asked when I entered the common room.

"Me? Nothing, what do you mean?" I faked a smile and he seemed to believe that.

"Oh anyways. Where have you been all day?" he asked and I sat next to him.

"Library, studying. What about you?" I asked.

"Well, we were doing some pranks with Fred all day. First we turned Ron's eyebrows to a..." from then my mind was somewhere else, not paying attention what George was so passionate about explaining me.

Because I was thinking about him and how an asshole a person could be.
