The girl who loved; Draco and Fred

Six

After some boring classes, we ate.
Just after we finished, we ran to the Room of Requirements. It was our third day we were going to meet.
When I arrived, they were all there: Cho, Luna, Ron, Harry, Hermione, the Weasley twins...

"Alright, today I am going to teach you the Expecto Patronum. For this spell, you just need to say the name of it, and think about your happiest memory." Harry started explaining.
"It will protect you from the dementors." He added. We nodded.
I started to think which of all my memories was the happiest one.
I saw how everyone were trying it, and many of them had got it.
I tried thinking of the day when I discovered I was a witch. Nothing.
"Think about something happier." Harry told me. I closed my eyes and started thinking.
I thought about that morning, when I was kissing Fred.
"Yeah! That's it!" Harry shouted.
A blue light was coming out of my wand, and hence an animal. It was a lion. It was wonderful.
"I am sure you thought about this morning" Harry told me whispering, then he giggled. I blushed.
"Why my patronus is a lion?" I asked.
"I don't know, sorry. But, I think there is a book in the library about it" he told me.

After two hours, the meet finished. I went to the library and looked for the book. I found it. Patronus, all you need to know. That was its title.
I looked for the meaning of having a lion as a patronus.

They are fiercely protective. They are fierce warriors who symbolize bravery as well as strength and nobility. If your patronus is the lion, you are likely to be brave but despite your ferocity, when you are defiant you have a weak point towards those weaker than yourself for whom you are willing to make sacrifices.

You are brave worker and practical. You don't mind raising your hands to do what needs to be done to help the people you love

So that it meant. And in fact, it was true. I would do whayever to keep my family and friends save.
I smiled.
My patronus was the lion, the Gryffindor's animal.

The night finally arrived. After we  finished having dinner, I had to go to the divination class.
"See you later, Lex" Fred told me before kissing my cheek.
"See you later, Fred" I smiled a bit.

When I entered the room, I saw that Draco was there.
"I thought you weren't going to come." He said. I rolled my eyes.
"Alright, the sooner I start, the sooner I finish." I said geting the broom stick. Draco just observed me. It put me nervous to feel someone looking to me while I was cleaning.
"Why?" I asked. Draco looked at me confused. 
"Pardon?" He said without understanding.
"Why did you wanted to be my friend? I mean, why me? There are many other people in Howgarts" I explained slowly. His face had no expression now.
"Well, I had already tell you. I wanted a friend, a real one. And, I thought you were the best one." He said. I nodded slowly.
"But, I am a Mudblood" I replied
"Yeah, I know. But, I will tell you something. I don't think Mudbloods are less than pure bloods. It is just..." he made a pause and looked to the floor.
"My father had always told me that. He always say that muggles and mudbloods are less than us, the pure ones. But I don't think that. I jst do things to make him proud of me." He finished. He looked sad. I looked to his eyes for a few seconds. Enaugh time to see that he was telling the truth.
"But you don't have to do what he wants. You have your own life, your own feelings and thoughts" I said.
"Yes, I do. But he don't want me to say or do what I want. He want me to do exactly what he says." He looked again to me.
"That is horrible. My parents had always tell me that I could do what I wanted do. Always if that was legal and didn't hurt anyone." I told him.
"You are a lucky person" he said. Then he forced a smile. Well, half a smile. He was still sad.
"Well, I better continue cleaning. I am sure you want to go to sleep" I said. I continued cleaning the floor.
"Let me help you. We will finish sooner" he said taking a cloth. It surprised me.
"You don't have to, but thanks. It is my punishment, not yours. You better go and sit down." I said. He continued cleaning the magic balls.
"No, I want to help you." He added some seconds later. I smiled to him. He wasn't that bad after all.
"Thank you, Draco. Now I am sure you are not a horrible person. You just have no choice." I said with a half smile. He smiled back to me, still wth a sad expression.
"Will you go the snowball?" I asked half an hour later.
"I don't think so. I don't have anyone to go with. I know you are going to go with Fred. I am happy for you. By the way, congrats. For your relationship" he asked.
"Thanks, Draco. You don't need to go with anyone. You can go alone. It will be funny. And, I am sure there are a lot of girls that would love to go with you. Just ask someone." I suggested.
"Yes, I know. But they don't know me. Neither I know them. They just want me because I am rich, my family is a famous one and because they think I am handsome. They don't really know how I am. Besides, I just want to go with one girl. The girl I love" he continued.
"Well, ask her. Maybe she wants to go with you too" I said smiling, happy for him. He denied.
"No. I am sure she don't love me. She goes with someone else" He finished cleaning the las magic ball.
"Oh, I see. Who is that girl?" I asked.
"It doesn't matter. Lets go to sleep. Tomorrow we have clases again" he just said. I nodded.

I was in my bed, thinking looking to the ceiling. After some minutes, I started thinking I knew the girl Malfoy loved. I started think if I was that girl.
