Wasn't meant to be.. [Draco Malfoy] English version

Chapter 9

We arrive back at Hogwarts with much more than we left with. I bought some clothes as I only had Draco's sweater and the pants and shoes I was wearing last morning. 

Last morning... when I was still in a normal world. 

I enter Luna's room and to a surprise she sits at her desk. 'You have a cat!' she says as she jumps up and comes to me to pet the black cat with the bright yellow eyes. 'What's it called?' she says to me but her eyes are still on the animal on my arm. 'Jimmy' I say with a smile. 

Jimmy, because I always called James that to tease him when I was young. If James knew this he would probably laugh but he's not here and he doesn't know I'm here either. Otherwise he would have come to get me a long time ago. I get tearful eyes at the idea of home. I wouldn't say it normally but I miss my brother's teasing. My mother complaining about my messy room and Daisy drooling over her boyfriend again. 

I let go of Jimmy and he starts sniffing around Luna's room and my temporary bed that consists of 2 stacked mattresses. I put the trollie with the other stuff in the corner of the room. 'Juliette?' I hear Luna ask me when I try to arrange my things. 'Yes?' I say while I make an elegant turn in her direction. 'Before I can trust you, you have to tell me honestly everything about yourself' she says as she walks towards me. I'm scared but don't show it. 'You already know pretty much everything about me after last night,' I say quickly as I continue organizing my things since I am entering a house officially this evening and it's probably Slytherin if I believe Draco. 'But you're hiding something, I can feel it,' she says softly. 'We'll talk another time, we have to go to the great hall,' I say quickly with a tone of anger in my voice and walk out of the room. 'But...' I hear Luna say but I already closed the door. It didn't do me much good to treat Luna like that since she has been very sweet to me while I was a total stranger.

I walked quick through the corridors. I don't want to be late for anything. I hadn't seen anyone in the Ravenclaw Common Room and now I don't see anyone in the corridors. When I finally found the entrance to the main hall I was already walking for about 10 minutes. I walk inside and see that everyone is already there, including Luna. I feel the eyes burning of people around me whispering. 'Hello Greenvile! I hear McGonagall say at the end of the long tables. I laugh uncomfortably. I walk further to the front and she gestures me to sit down on the chair that's standing there. I sit down and see that all eyes are on me. Something I don't like at all. I thought presentations or lectures were already terrible and that was only for 25 children this is 'some' more. I see Draco proudly looking at me. McGonagall comes in with a hat, but this hat has a face. 'What is this world.' I whisper out loud. 'Is there something wrong dear? All children find this moment exciting, so don't worry' she says as she lays a hand on my shoulder. 'Hmmm. Your family history is special,' says the hat when it's put on my head. I hear people mumbling. 'Hmmm, you've got some Slytherin in you but...' I raise my eyebrows when I hear the hat talking. 

"Gryffindor! I hear the hat shouting. I see Draco enlarge his eyes. The table with my official house stands up and starts cheering. I see Harry, Hermione and Ron looking confused. As they assumed I was a Slytherin. 

The orange golden light of the setting sun falls on the long tables with dinner, which I really craved after this day. I got up and walked uncomfortably to the only people I knew from Gryffindor, Harry, Ron and Hermione. They looked at me with a smile. I sit down next to Hermione. 'How did you get that Slytherin sweater?' she says curiously. 'Is that the first thing you ask me?' I say laughing. 'Yes,' she says with a nosy look, 'Malfoy,' I still say laughing. The look of the three changes and I abruptly stop laughing and look at them one by one. 'What's the matter?' I ask not really knowing what's going on. 'You really have to stay away from him' Ron says as he bends over the table. I frown my eyebrows. 'But...' I try. 'He's not nice or sweet, the way he pretends to be with you is probably all for a joke,' says Hermione. Great, the guy who brought me here has a bad reputation. I thought by meself 'But other topic. You're in Gryffindor!' says a boy next to me. I hadn't noticed him at all since I had turned my back to him when I was talking to Hermione. I turn to the unknown boy and smile. 'And you are?' I ask. 'I'm George Weasley,' he says as he reaches out a hand. I wanted take the hand, but at that moment he is roughly pulled back and another boy comes in his place who looked exactly like him. 'Hey, I'm Fred and I'm much more fun than my twin brother here,' he says with an exaggerated wink. I start laughing. At that moment I feel my stomach grunting, I didn't realize the whole conversation how hungry I really was. I see some bread buns on the table and stuff one in my mouth. Fred starts laughing. 'Yes, I am hungry,' I say laughing from the looks I get. I forget everything I was worried about and let myself have fun for a moment. 

After the delicious dinner and the pleasant conversations I realize I am alone in the hallway on my way to the Ravenclaw common room. Where I am going to pack my things. I am alone, no silly jokes from Fred or no know-it-all remarks from Hermione and because of that the unpleasant and sad thoughts come up again. I wonder if Daisy and my family are looking for me. I am staring in front of me. I feel a hand on my shoulder and I am frightened. ''It's just me.' I hear Draco say. 'Malfoy? What is it?' I ask when I see a disturbing look in his eyes. 'How can you be a Gryffindor?' he says as he grabs me by the shoulders. 'Is it that bad?' I ask while I am startled by the fierceness of his voice. 'Yes, I mean no,' but I don't understand how you can be a Gryffindor. His voice is a little less fierce but his gaze hasn't changed a bit. I shrug my shoulders. 'Sorry. But don't get too good friends with those Gryffindors. Believe me,' he suddenly says cold and walks away. 'What do you mean?' I say while I grab his hand to stop him. 'Just listen to what I'm saying,' he says as he looks at our hands. He shakes my hand abruptly. 'And stop that.' He walks away. He leaves me speechless, as he often does.

I watch Draco, at every window the white moonlight shines on his pale face until he disappears into the darkness of the corridor. I sigh. 'What am I going to do with you?' I say softly. I walk on to the Ravenclaw common room. I turn a corner and bump into someone. 'Sorry,' I say quickly. I look up to see who I bump into. 'Harry?' I ask while I see him standing in front of me with a map in his hand.
