Destiny

Chapter 9

I am in the tent packing my suitcase . I strongly hold in my tears so as not to cry; He doesn't deserves my tears . I can't hear them anymore, so I go out with my suitcase and see them kissing. A lump forms in my throat and the tears sting behind my eyes as I refuse to let them fall. I can feel my heart tearing as I watch them embraced. Unable to watch them any longer I clear my throat. They break apart and Pansy surveys me with a smug look upon her pug like features.

 
- I left you food and the other bed for Pansy.

My voice sounded more bitter than I had intended, but it was hard to speak with the lump in my throat.
A look of confusion crosses over Draco's slightly flushed face.

- Where are you going? You have to stay here Noora.

-I don't want to. I want to go back to my house.

Draco takes a few steps toward me as he speaks.

-It's not safe. Your father already told you.

I place my suitcase on the ground, folding my arms across my chest, to emphasise my point.

-I'd prefer to be in my room and not with you. Draco.

I practically spit his name a him, his eyebrows twitching at my firm words. He addresses Pansy, without looking at her.

-Pansy go please. I will see you next week.

She moves in front of him, severing our eye contact. She cups his face to make him look at her.

Don't do anything with her Draco.

- See you next week.

She attempts to meet their lips but he brushes her off and she turns round to glare at me before leaving.
Draco waits till she is out of earshot before approaching me again.

-Listen Noora. I told her that to protect you.

A cold chuckle escapes my lips before I can stop it. Hearing him lie to me like that. I couldn't believe he could insult my intelligence any further but he was trying pretty hard.

- Really. It sounded real when it came out your fucking mouth, Draco! You kissed me twice. Was it just a fucking game for you? I'm nothing more than a game. You wanted to fuck me? Really?!

He paused, his adams apple bobbing slighting as he swallowed, processing what I had said.

- No Noora, listen to me. She wanted to kill you. I can not let that happen okay? This kiss and the other. They were sincere. I promise you. Believe me, I wanted nothing more than to feel your lips on mine. I promised your father I'd protect you. I don't want you to die because of me.

I can feel my hands shaking at his words. I stare into his eyes as they dart between my two. All I can see is him embraced with Pansy. How can I trust him. Fury over taking me, I pull out my wand a press it against his chest. He doesn't even flinch, only his eyes go down to it and quickly rise to find mine. I can feel the tears straining down my cheeks now but I don't care, he's pushed me too far.

-How can I trust you huh? You use everyone. You have done, ever since first year. You've humiliated me so many times. Remember in fourth year? That second year girl was in love with you and you just played her like it was a sport. Maybe it's the same with me.

I said my last senate slowly, pausing between each word, exhausted, drained.
Draco took a small step towards me, My wand tip pressing into his chest, for sure leaving a mark.

-I promise you Noora, please trust me. You are not a game for me. I was stupid, I know that already. But I'm changing Noora. I'm trying to change. I'm trying to be a better person. *Draco's voice catches in his throat, his water line wet with tears, his voice is barley a whisper.* For you.
