doves

He kissed me then dissapeared. I looked at Langdon who looked...hurt.

"Where the hell did he go?" I ask frantically, running around the school as Langdon trails behind.

"Maybe my father needed him, or maybe...."

"Maybe what??"

"I have to go but i will come and find you when iv'e got this figured out okay?" He says.

"But Langdon i-" I start but he put his hands on my cheeks to calm me down, "I know your worried, but if is my father's doing, i will deal with it okay?"

I nod hesitantly and he rushes to the dormatires, i sit down on one of the couches in the library and start to read, trying to get my mind off of it, but then they walk in. Laughing together and all around just more happy. But as soon as they saw me, they all shut down. And that's okay, i don't have time to worry about them but i guess i was wrong, Octave came and sat next to me.

"I wanted to talk to you, just us one on one..." She chirps.

"Then talk." I scwol, not taking my eyes off the book.

"Aphrodice, you know, my father wasn't the best person before he went to Azkaban, he abused me and shouted, and he hurt people. And when you snapped it just brought me back to a place and time that had him in it. And i'm sorry, i shouldn't have turned my back on my best friend. You are the only person iv'e told i want you to know how sorry i am. I will always love you.'' Tears stream down her eyes.

I couldn't help but look at her. We looked at each other for a long time then finally just hugged her, she was surprised, she flinched. She wrapped her amrs around me.

"God i'm so glad that went well." She sighs in releif.

"I can't stay mad at my best friend, and my roomate." I smile weakly.

"You seem tense, what's wrong."

I sigh and proceed to tell her about Mattheo, and our night together and how he dissapeared, i didn't tell her anything about Voldemort or what Langdon was up to.

"Oh my, Ace i'm so sorry."

"I just need to figure out what happened to him, and why he left out of no where."

"I can help if you want..."

"No it's okay, Langdon is helping me and anyways, you have the boys to get back to..."

''Actually Draco wanted to see you as well..."

"Um why..."

"Just to talk.."

"Okay...? Where is he?"

"Quittich feilds blowing off steam, he got cagey after you left the tavern."

"Oh okay well i suppose i'll go talk to the git"

She smiled in response. I made my way over to the Quittich feild trying to be open to listening to what they have to say. He was soaring though the air, he looked pissed but he deserved every word i said to him. I think i caught his eye because he landed and walked over to me.

"Ace.." He soflty said.

"Octave said you wanted to talk to me..?"

"Y-yeah wait Octave- nevermind but i just wanted to show you something..."

"Okay..?''

He got onto the broomstick and extented his hand,

"JUst this once, and then you won't have to speak to me ever again."

"Is that what you think i want...?"

"I don't know, you tell me."

I take his hand and get on the broomstick. We start to fly up above the clouds, he flies down into the forbbiden forest, i was confused. But then the trees came into  a clearing and there was one big tree and a little pond, but on that tree, were doves, real ones. They were all around the tree. It was beautiful, was this his plan, to win me over with doves?

"Look Ace, i know it's been super rocky between us, and all i wanted was to make it right. I took what you said in the tavern to heart and i realized, i don't want to be controlled by my father. And i won't let hi control me, you see the impact you have on me? You open my eyes and see the truth, even if it's hurtful. You were the one to get my lazy ass off the couch and inpired me to do more than i ever thought i was capabile of, and now i'm falling apart wihtout you. Even if you still hate me, you know you've always been the only person i really connect to. But merlin, i'm sorry for everything iv'e done to you. And i hope that one day, you'll be able to forgive me, after everything." His eyes start to slightly tear up. Draco's crying? Damn.

"Draco i know i've hurt you and that you've hurt me and i can't help but say seeing the group without me hurts. I was hurt by the words you've said to me, and not just you, but Slade and Blaise, but i can't be mad at you forever.."

Then, he hugs me. Tightly, and i hug him back, tighter, i missed his hugs. Iv'e missed him, he knows how to apologize that's for sure. And maybe it'll get eaiser, with Mattheo. With  me being on okay terms with Octave and Draco, i won't be as stressed, but Mattheo wherever you are, i will find you. I won't stop looking.

I know this is a short chapter, sorry iv'e been super busy! But don't worry, the next chapter will be longer!!
