I didn't want to attend classes today, I was tired. I hadn't gotten so much sleep, and the headache I had was ruining my day. I was heading towards the forest for some fresh air and to get things off my mind. The forest is beautiful and peaceful. I like being alone.

I am taken in by the soothing atmosphere that surrounds me. I am calmed down by the sounds of the forest; the wind, the birds, everything restrain all my worries. I run as fast as my feet can carry me towards what my body sees as heaven. The nature, the trees, the birds singing and the wind.

I'm walking through the empty corridor, it is now late. I've missed breakfast, lunch and dinner. I hadn't eaten since yesterday and I was hungry. Really hungry. I didn't notice I was in the forest for so long, but I didn't mind because I loved it. Everyone had gone back to their dorms, and I was alone in the corridor.

"Isabella!" I heard someone shout from behind. I turned around and saw Harry Potter and his two friends. All the three of them ran towards me, I was slightly confused why they were talking to me but then I remembered what Draco said.

"Do NOT befriend Harry Potter, his mudblood friend and his carrot friend"

I pause and watch them run towards me.

"I-Isabella Clair right?-" the boy with ginger hair stammered.

"Belle, Belle Clair" I corrected him.

"O-oh right-sorry" he mumbled under his breath, loud enough for me to hear. The girl beside him pushed him aside and stepped towards me.

"I'm Hermione Granger" she said and reached out her hand for me to shake. I shaked her hand and she gave me a smile. She introduced her friends. "This is Harry Potter" she said pointing at a brunette boy with glasses  "..and this is Ronald Weasley" she then pointed at the ginger boy aka the carrot friend.

"Hi?" I said, giving them a small smile. They looked at me confused.

"So-eh we heard in the great hall that you are e-engaged to eh-Malfoy" The ginger named Ronald said stuttering. Why does everyone care? It's not their business. I looked at him confused. "I-I mean eh-" Hermione slapped him and pushed him away.

"What he means is— " she took a deep breath "Aren't you and Malfoy a bit too young?"

"Uh- it's arranged" I looked down at my cold small feet.

"Oh— I'm so sorry—" she panicked. " we didn't know— we should probably go" they rushed away from me like I was some sort of disease.

I didn't think much of it and turned around to bump into something or someone muscular.

"Where have you been?" his voice was sharp like a knife

"Why do you care, Draco?"

"I don't."

"Okay— but if you really must know I was in the forest." I said and started walking away but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to him.

"Do not go into the forest again!" he said, it sounded like some sort of warning.

"I can go wherever I want! Like I said yesterday: you don't own me. Mind your own business— " I snapped at him, he pushed me against the wall and put his hands on the side of me. The audacity of this boy...

"I'm fucking warning you Belle, do not go into that forest again! It's dangerous and a girl like you shouldn't go in there alone!" he then snapped back at me

"Fine" I lied and gulped. He pushed himself from the wall and started walking away

"And— " he paused and turned to me again, " don't talk to Potter and his friends."

"How do you think this is going to work out, hmm? How are we supposed to get married if I don't get to talk to other people, to make friends? You might be my 'fiancé' but I didn't choose that!" I snapped. "You can't stop me from talking to people and trying to make friends. So stop acting like a baby and grow the fuck up—!"

"You're telling me to grow up—?" A small laughter left his mouth as he inched closer. "Look at yourself, you're acting like a fucking whore—"

Fuck this shit. I inches closer to him, and slapped my hand across his face — his cheek turning a shade of pink.

"You're just as fucked up as you're —" I started but I was cut off by him grabbing my arm and dragging me with him into an empty classroom. He sealed the door locked with magic and looked at me with furious eyes.

"Don't fucking do that again — and don't fucking talk to me with that attitude of yours." He spat, taking a step closer towards me. Well I don't like his attitude either, so I won't stop unless he does.

"Make me." I spat back at him, rage growing in my body. "Fucking make me!"

He took a step forward as I automatically took a step back.

My back reached the cold stone wall and I was trapped. He walked closer to me and pressed his veiny hand against my throat.

I could feel his cold rings against my skin. He leant forward with his head and whispered in my ear  "Don't start anything you can't finish."

I got shivers down my spine by his voice, it was hot. I couldn't deny it, but it was so fucking hot.

"When you learn to act like a woman, then find me." he then walked away.

I didn't say anything back. I couldn't say anything back. This time he left me speechless.
