Black And Green

Forty Seven

E m i l y

The first two weeks passed quickly, with me spending all of my time with Draco, Mary and in general with the Slytherins.

Draco and I have been avoiding talking about our task, because we weren't ready. Or I wasn't but he wanted me to take my time, until he asked me at midnight in astronomy tower.

"Em, I think it's time" he said and I nodded, knowing exactly what he was talking about.

"Okay", I said after a few seconds, "Do we must start now?".

"It will be good, we are a little behind" he said and stood up. He grabbed my hand to help me and we started walking to find the Room of Requirement.

"Ready?" he whispered and I nodded, taking the silver handle in my hand pulling it down.

One month later

Draco told me to meet him down the hallway of his dorm room at eleven pm, so that's where I was going.

I was walking trying to not make any sound, with my heart beating fast and me being anxious like I am this whole month. I heard steps behind me and I hold my breath trying to hide behind a wall.

I heard the person leaving and I exhaled relieved but when I turned around I jumped scared when I was face to face with Snape.

"Black, what are you doing?!" he asked and I tried to relax.

"I am going to meet Draco" I whispered meaningful and he nodded.

"I see, be careful. No one must see you" he said and I nodded.

"Does your arm hurts?" he asked frowned, looking at my forearm.

I rolled up my sleeve revealing the Mark and it was still a little red.

"Why you?" I asked him and he looked at me confused.

"Dumbledore trusts you more than anyone. Why you?" I repeated slower and he straighten his back.

"One day, you will understand" he said and passed me walking away.

"Put some ice on it. It will cool it down" he turned around and said to me, and then continued his walking.

I rolled my robe down and started walking again hidden at Draco.

"What took you so long?" he asked when he saw me.

"Nothing" I said cold and he nodded.

He closed the door behind us and I let out a breath, closing my eyes for a little.

"Hey, are you okay?" he asked putting his hands on my cheeks.

"Yes, fine" I said with a smirk and he kissed my forehead.

He took the thin sheet that was covering the cabinet and threw it on the floor.

"Draco, what did you do?" I asked and he looked at me confused.

"What do you mean?" he asked and I touched the wood on the cabinet.

"This is not how it was last time we came. You come and fix it alone, don't you?" I asked and he swallowed hard.

"No, what are you talking about?" he said and I crossed my arms.

"You know that I hate when you lie to me" I said raising my eyebrows and he pulled his hair with his hand back exhaling.

"You are right, I come alone" he said and I nodded, "I knew it".

"I see that this is so much for you and I-I can't let you suffer like this" he said and I rolled my eyes.

"If you ever come again alone, I am never going to talk to you again" I hissed opening the two small doors.

"Wouldn't mind" he hissed and I looked at him furious.

"What did you say?!" I yelled stepping in front of him.

"You are an asshole" I said turning the other way.

"I did it for you" he said and I bit my lips hard.

"No, you didn't. You did this for yourself, because you feel guilty" I pointed my finger on him.

"Because I became a Death Eater to save your ass, because you did what your daddy said, because you are a coward" I said and he scrunched his nose angry.

"You know what? Fuck you, I will do it all alone I don't need you" he hissed and I laughed ironically.

"You need me, Draco Malfoy. You will fail without me" I said and he pushed me away to the door.

"Get the fuck out of here" he threw me outside and I almost fell on the floor.

"I am going to kill you" I said taking my wand out pointing at him.

"Emily, what are you doing?" he asked whispering while my wand was on his neck.

"Are you seriously going to hurt me?" he said and I shook my head waking my self up.

I quickly hid my wand and he took a step back.

What the hell is wrong with me?

"Go get some sleep, you are not okay" he said disappointed and turned around closing the door right in front of my face.

I staid like that watching the door disappearing and the very much need to hit myself.

[...]

The next morning, Draco was being late for breakfast and Mary was keeping me company.

"Are you alright?" she asked and I nodded.

"Yes, I am okay. Have you seen Draco?" I asked and she exhaled.

"No... You can leave" she said between her teeth and I looked at her confused.

"What was that about?" I raised my eyebrow.

"What I am trying to say", she turned her body towards me clasping her hands, "is that you are always with Draco and we don't hang out that much. Especially after holidays. Did I do something wrong?" she said complaining and I felt my heart breaking.

"Me and Julia are together, but I still have time for you" she said and I nodded sighing, "Sorry".

"It's just the last days are crazy and, look I'm really sorry that you feel this way. Let's spend the rest of the day together, okay?" I said and she grinned.

"Yeah, let's do it" she said and I smiled resting my arm around her shoulder.

The day passed without us even realizing it. It was time I was dropping Mary at her dorm room and then heading to mine.

"Goodnight girl, see you tomorrow" she said and I hugged her.

"Goodnight" I whispered and she opened her dorm room.

"Do you want me to call him?" she turned and asked me.

"I uhm, no it's fine. I will go get some sleep" I said awkward and she nodded.

"Okay, have a good night".

But all of the guilt inside of me, made my night not even closely at okay.
