Boggart
JAYNE'S POV
Today was Friday, the day we all face Boggart. I was a little nervous but mostly just excited. I loved learning new types of magic. And everyone was going to do it so it's not like I had to face my fear alone, we would hopefully all support each other. I was curious about what other people would see, especially Draco. Cami and Kenz were very excited. The day went by rather quickly and the next thing I knew I was walking into DADA with my friends and we saw Boggart. It looked like an old wardrobe. First, we went over some information then we practiced the spell and then everyone lined up. I was towards the back so I got to see a lot of others turn their fears into something funny. Neville saw Professor Snape which I thought was hilarious especially when he put his grandmother's clothes on him. One girl saw a snake, Ron saw spiders and then it was my turn. My heart was beating rather fast as I drew my wand and stepped in front of the Boggart. It started shaking and I prepared myself to see that stupid dog, but what came out what much worse. The doors swung open and out my dad. I felt everything around me fade into the background as my father stared me down. "Stupid girl. How could you ever make me proud when I have Harry Potter. I never loved you. Never" he said plainly. My eyes watered and I couldn't breathe. I knew the spell but I was frozen in place. "Riddikulus" Professor Moody yelled and my dad shrunk into a doll and disappeared. I felt the tears fall down my face. "Jayne" I heard a voice and felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Harry looking at me. "Professor, May I be excused" I said softly and he nodded at me. I ran out of the classroom and into the empty girls bathroom. I collapsed against a wall and cried. "Jayne?" I heard Harry calling me. I wiped my tears and tried to stop crying. "Jayne" Harry said as he walked in. I stood up and went to the sink. "Harry please just go" I said softly. I know I shouldn't be mad at him. It wasn't his fault but I couldn't help it. "Jayne, I'm so sorry I-" he started. "Harry go!" I yelled, turning to look at him. He stood there stunned. "I don't want to look at you. My father chose you over me. I hate you. My dad doesn't love me. Draco doesn't love me. Nobody does. I hate you so much" I sobbed as I hit his chest. He just stood taking it. "I hate you" I cried as he wrapped his arms around me and I struggled but he just held me tighter. "It's ok," he said and I cried into his shoulder. After crying, I lifted my head and I looked into his eyes. They were just as forgiving as the first time we fought. "Are you ok?" he asked. I nodded. "Let's just sit for a while" he said and we slumped against the wall. "I'm sorry" I said quietly. "It's ok." he said. "No it's not. I shouldn't blame you-" I said. "Jayne, it's ok. I would hate me too" he said. "I don't hate you. I hate my dad" I said. "No you don't." he said. We sat there in silence for a while. "What did you mean when you said Draco doesn't love you?" he asked. I forgot I said that, I really wish I didn't. "It's nothing. Please don't tell anyone I said that." I said staring at the floor. "I won't," he said. "Thank you Harry," I said, finally looking at him. He nodded. "Class is over, and you have quidditch so we should probably go" I said. "Yeah, are you coming tonight?" he asked as we stood up and walked out. "I don't think so-" I started. "Come on, You should come Jayne. It would be a good distraction" he said as we walked down the halls. I could feel people looking at me but I anticipated that. "I don't know," I said. "Who knows maybe I'll get hit with a bludger, you wouldn't want to miss that" he said smiling at me. "That would be incredibly cathartic," I said laughing. "See you there," he said. "Ok" I said and gave him a hug and we went our separate ways. I went to my dorm to freshen up. There were a lot more stares and whispers than I had anticipated. I guess people needed something to gossip about and my daddy issues were about as good as it would get until some other drama came along. I didn't really care. People have been gossiping about me since I stepped foot in this insane school. First slut, now the daddy issues. At least it's something new. I hoped something crazy would happen at quidditch that would take the focus. The game today was Gryffindor VS Slytherin. These games were always the craziest due to the level of rivalry between the houses. I got to my dorm and decided to shower. Then I dried my hair and did some makeup and I put my hair in a loose braid. It was pretty cold so I put on jeans, a white turtleneck and grey sweater and my converse. Then I headed for the stands. Usually, you sit on the side of your house but Cami and Kenz rarely went to games and I didn't want to sit alone so I headed for the Gryffindor side. It was still early and the teams were warming up. I was lucky and I saw Hermione, Ginny, Luna, and Neville walking to the stands so I ran to catch up with them. "Hey guys!" I yelled and they saw me stopping to wait. "Hi Jayne," Luna said in her sweet voice. "Hey Jayne, how are you" Hermione asked with concern in her eyes. "I'm ok, Harry helped me," I said quietly. "Good," she said, giving me a hug. "What about Draco?" Ginny asked. "What about him?" I asked slightly panicking. Did Harry tell them about what I said? No he wouldn't have. He said he wouldn't. They all exchanged a strange look. "What happened? Is he ok?" I asked. "Luna, Neville, why don't we go save seats so Jayne and Hermione can talk." Ginny said with a nod. They understood and went ahead. I felt my heart rate increase. "Hermione, what's going on?" I asked as she pulled me to the side. "After you left, the class continued with the Boggarts. When it was Draco's turn we all thought he would see his dad-" she started but slowly trailed off. "Ok? What did he see?" I asked. "You," she said. "What? What do you mean?" I asked frantically. "When it was his turn you walked out, and said that he was weak. You said that you never loved him, that nobody could ever love him" she said. I felt the tears pooling in my eyes. "He didn't even perform the spell, he just walked out. Are you ok?" she asked softly. I tried to process what I was hearing. If his fear was that I didn't love him, did that mean he loved me? "I'm fine," I said, blinking back tears. "Jayne I-" Hermione started. "I'm ok. We should go sit down, the game starts soon." I said, giving her a fake smile. She looked concerned but nodded and we walked in silence to the stands. When we sat down the game began and I waited to see Draco fly out on his broom. When he finally did, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I sat through the entire game in a trance like state. I subconsciously cheered and clapped until the end when Draco caught the snitch. The Slytherin crowd went crazy and I watched his teammates go wild but Draco didn't seem happy. The game ended and the teams disappeared into their locker rooms. Ginny invited me to go hang out with them but I declined. I went straight to the astronomy tower. I don't know what it is about that place but it's a good place to think. I climbed the stairs and sat on the floor and thought about Draco as I watched the sunset.
