Forever & Always - (Draco Malfoy)

FIFTEEN

QUINN POV

I walked down the hall, hanging on to Ryders arm trying to get as far away from Draco and the rest of them as I could. Ryders face was so perfect, he was perfect. It destroyed me seeing his face bleeding from the splits in his skin Draco caused with his harsh blows.

"Are you okay?" I questioned.

He grabbed my wrist harshly and pulled me to stop walking and face him "I'm fine." He snarled.

It was weird the way I was feeling, I wanted to be near him. I needed to be, I felt a new found obsession over the boy standing in front of me. But still I had a dull ache in my chest where I felt someone else belonged, I felt it worse when we were with Draco. I couldn't clear my own head, I couldn't control my own emotions, all I knew was I needed to make Ryder happy.

"Do you want to do something for me?"

"Of course." I smiled.

With his fingers firmly wrapped around my wrist he continued to lead me down the halls until we ended up in a part of the school I didn't recognize. We stopped in front of steal door with snakes perched on it.

"I want you to repeat after me." He insisted, and began to speak in parseltongue slowly so that I could follow along as I said the words aloud one by one. He was nodding at me, letting me know I was doing good. As soon as I completed the foreign sentence, the snakes began to pull back unlocking the door and popping it open.

I turned to Ryder, feeling accomplished with myself and hoping he was happy with me. His eyes weren't on me at all, a cool smirk had spread across his face as he took in the sight in front of him.

"Get in here." He ordered, pulling me through the door.

I wasn't sure what we were doing or why he was being so aggressive. I needed to help him, make him smile again. I loved it when he smiled. He walked around the unfamiliar place, I follow closely behind. He was searching high and low, left and right. His frustration building the deeper we went inside.

"If you tell me what you are looking for, maybe I can help." I offered.

He quickly shoved my back against the wall, pressing the tip of his wand into my cheek until it was painful. His eyes flickered to mine, they were cold. My chest rising and falling rapidly. There was an odd mix of emotions that were rushing through my head. On one hand, I was terrified of him I wanted to run and scream for help but also I wanted to be near him, I wanted him to like me. It's like my heart was fighting my mind.

"If I wanted your bloody help, I would fucking ask." He snapped. "Keep your mouth shut."

He released me from his clutches and I followed behind him again, remaining silent. I watched as he pounded his fists against the cool stone walls.

"It's not here!" He yelled. I still didn't talk, I wouldn't dare defy him. He asked me to stay silent so I would do just that. He looked up towards the ceiling, sucking in a deep breath of the cold damp air. "Fine. We will do something else tonight then, come on."

DRACO POV

I slammed my door, rattling the walls and everything on them. I shouldn't have let myself care, I knew better but still I did it. I couldn't help myself when it came to Quinn. Ever since I saw her, I hated her because of the way she made me feel. There had always been something about her . Instead of staying away from her like I promised myself, I got involved. I spent time with her and now it was all I wanted to do, especially after our kiss.

I paced around my room, dragging my fingers through my hair and attempting to calm myself down. I walked into my bathroom and ran the warm water over my blood stained hands, watching the crimson water circle the drain as my white skin began to appear again. Staring at myself in the mirror, I tugged at the tie around my neck until it was loosened and barely draping around me.

It seemed like no matter how hard I tried to choke down my feelings and control my anger, it wasn't working. I could usually tell myself it didn't matter, because nothing ever mattered to me before but this did. How could she be with him minutes after we kissed? It didn't make any sense. Either she was just as heartless as me and was only playing games or something was off. I couldn't believe someone like her was heartless, I could see the kindness in her eyes. I always wondered how she ended up in Slytherin with such kind eyes. Sometimes I let myself believe she was placed here for me, like it was fate.

The dorm door clicked opened and I slowly emerged from the bathroom, drying my wet hands with a towel. Both Blaise and Lila walked in, shutting the door behind them and staring at me with wide eyes. I could tell they were concerned, probably for both me and Quinn.

"Draco-" Blaise started.

"Don't." I interrupted. "I don't care, shes just a stupid girl." I was forcing myself to appear as if I didn't care. Usually I didn't have to give any effort, I simply just didn't care but today I was trying to give my best performance and sell them on the fact I didn't care about Quinn. I hated the pity, I hated feeling weak. It was disgusting to me.

"Don't say that." Lila snarled. "You have to listen to us."

I walked over and sat on the edge of my bed facing them. I rested my elbows on my knees and rubbed my face in frustration, letting out a deep breath before I leaned back up. I gestured for either one of them to continue talking. I guess I owed it to myself to hear them out, instead of automatically crawling back into my dark shell.

They shared a looked between each other, Lila gave Blaise a nod and he gazed back at me.

"Something isn't right."

"Wow, excellent. Thank you." I snarked, sarcasm lacing my voice.

"You didn't let me finish." He snapped. "When we found them, they were coming from the potions room." He was nodding at me slowly, as if he was waiting for me to catch on but I wasn't getting it.

"And..."

"And we went in there after you all left." Lila blurted.

"There was a potion in a cauldron, he tried to dump it out but I could still smell it..." Blaise continued.

"Okay so what did you smell?"

"I smelt... Lila."

"What the fuck kind of potion smells like..." then it clicked. Amortentia. The potion smelt like Lila because it is who Blaise finds attractive. They were both staring at me, watching as the gears clicked inside my head and I put the pieces of the puzzle together.

My anger only amplified now, spreading through me like a wild fire. I could feel my blood heat up as my veins emerged from my neck and my fists clenched at my side.

"He gave her fucking amortentia." I shook my head in disbelief. I knew there was something wrong with him, but this was fucked up. It was a completely violation. When someone is under the effects of the love potion, they will do anything to make the person happy. "We have to go find her, now."

I rose off the bed and walked for the door. Both Blaise and Lila nodding at me in agreement as we hurried down the stairs and out of the common room.

"He could be making her do Merlin knows what right now." I spat.

"Draco, don't think like that." Lila pleaded.

"I swear if he touches her..." I trailed off, not even wanting to share with them the cruel thoughts that were living inside my head. I think I would be capable of killing him. At the very least I would crucio him until he was driven mad.

AUTHORS NOTE:
Just to clarify in the chamber, when Quinn is afraid of him but still wants him at the same time, it's because her actual feelings towards Draco and true emotions are trying to fight against the amortentia. This shows she is strong because it takes a lot to even subconsciously fight this potion. (At least in my story.) anyways, thanks for your support! Buckle up for the next chapter!!!!!
