his hufflepuff princess

chapter 10-its going to be alright

draco had been staring at my wounds for what felt like forever "Loo who did this to you" i fluttered my eyes shut trying to fight back the tears " its nothing.. look it doesn't matter right now this does" i grabbed his arm lifting up his sleeve

his first reaction was to grab my arm and stop me but when i looked into his eyes he slowly released his grip and let me continue so, slowly sliding the fabric up his are i watched as the ink on his forearm revealed the dark mark

i started to trace the mark with my finger tips until he moved back my robes and did the same with mine we stood like this for a while before i heard him sniffle

i looked up at him and placed a hand on his cold pale cheek making him sob " God Loo you weren't meant for this" i shook my head slightly letting a few stray tears fall "draco its ok...we can do this together" i let out a sad sigh

I know I told him that we would get through this together but in my gut it told me that one of us won't make it out alive and i would rather it be me then him but i would never tell him that...

draco held me in his arms nearly all night until i told him he needed to get some sleep he refused unless i let him walk me to my dorm which i of course let him do

the walk was a comfortable silence neither of us needed to talk we found solace in each other i suppose or at least i knew i did, when we arrived i turned to draco and thanked him but he seemed inquietude standing there "Draco what's wrong" he simply shook his head and absquatulate away leaving me alone in the empty halls.

when i made it upstairs it was around 4 in the morning so i decided that there was not enough time to have any actual sleep so i just sat there missing the comfort of his arms around my body feeling the warmth there once was in this school slowly and painfully floating out the window..

i have always wondered what it would feel like to be apart of something that would change the world... but this is not what i meant.

it was now 6 in the morning so i decided to go down to the great hall and get something to eat, this morning though i decided to seat at the hufflepuff table alone i wasn't really in the mood to talk to anyone i was reading hamlet when i felt someone take the seat next to me and infront of me so looking up i was  greeted by unruly red head boy and a untidy brunette boy along with the curly haired girl that comes along with them

"good morning Lyra" said the girl next to me i gave her a strained smile i was really hoping that i could have a quite morning and i really didn't want to be around potter because of the symbol etched onto my arm so right now it made me feel really sick "uh sorry don't mind me asking but why are you sitting here" i tried not to come off rude but the red head took it that way i could tell by the way his face grimaced " am i not allowed to sit with my new friend" i could tell that they wanted to ask me something

"what is it you want to ask me?" her smile faltered and she let out a defeated sigh "well its more harry wants to ask" i looked over at potter and raised my eyebrows " well you see i was uhh wondering i-if maybe you would know if Malfoy was a death eater or not" he looked me dead in the eyes basically telling me he was being 100% serious i let out a small laugh trying not to seem to obvious " thats a ridiculous statement Draco is a good guy just because his father is does not mean he is one is well" i shook my head and looked back at my book "but his father is in azkaban now that means draco is the man of the house im sure voldermort would have made him one by now to keep the malfoys in his inner circle"

i was having enough of this " you think he didn't tell me about the pathetic little arguments you two have been having since first year.. this right now harry this is you being blinded by your own hatred because tell me this if draco was your friend and his family situation was still the same would you still accuse him of being a death eater " they were all silent " thats what i thought now i would love for you all to leave me alone from now on i don't really like having people speak of my friends that way" they all started to leave without saying a word

i knew that he was right but i also knew that draco was being forced into this and i suppose it hurt knowing we were kinda in the same situation here.

little did i know those 3 people were staring and whispering about me from their table .
