Black And Green

Thirty Eight

E m i l y

At the first and second sentence everything was good. But when I was in the middle of the third one I felt a sharp pain on my hand and I looked at it with horror. I could saw the way the sentence on the paper was engraving into my skin.

"What is that?" I asked standing up, in terror.

"Be quiet, if you don't want it to be ten times" she said and I closed my mouth.

"Leave. And I hope you took your lesson" she said and I left from that room.

That woman is crazy.

The next day, at lunch I was trying to hold my hand down the table so Mary wouldn't notice what was going on.

After a while she asked me to show her something at Potions and I totally forgot, putting both of my hands on the table. I heard a loud noise from in front of me, Draco's fork was fallen into his plate because he was surprised.

"What the fuck is this?!" he said taking my hand into his.

"I must not break the rules? Did you do that to yourself?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Don't be stupid, no" I said and I glanced at Umbridge.

"She did that to you? When?" he asked and Mary was looking at my hand sad.

"After the party when I was going to my room, Flinch got me. It's a magic pen actually, you write something on the paper and then it transfers to your skin" I explained hiding it.

"You need to report it, Emily. This is violence" Mary said and I shook my head.

"No, I don't want to. I am fine" I said and I looked at Draco.

"I shouldn't let you leave alone" he said and I nodded.

"Yeah, you shouldn't".

"I will come at your dorm room tonight, at ten" he said and I wide opened my eyes.

"Have you lost your mind? No! This will also happen to you" I said showing my hand.

"I don't care" he said and I leaned closer.

"I won't come outside to find you. I mean it" I said and he exhaled.

"Okay, fine" he said loosing and I smiled with myself.

There we go, that's what I am talking about.

[...]

"Emily, can I speak to you?" Draco asked me from across the table. It's been five days since we last spoke.

"Yeah, sure. What is it?" I asked.

"Can we meet today? At the room of requirement. I just want to talk to you" he said and I looked down.

"I don't think that this is a good idea.." I said but he shook his head.

"Please, it will only be for a little" he said and I sighed.

"At four, okay? I will meet you outside of your dorm room" he said and I nodded.

[...]

When the door opened, he was standing there.

"My dorm room is empty for some reason the past few days" I said while we started walking.

"Maybe they study at the library or something" he said and I shook my head.

"Nah, it's not really their style. Oh, by the way how much did you score at Potion's test?" I asked.

"I-I got a B. You?" he said and I took a deep breath. I saw his score and that was definitely a C, not a B.
