Secrets (D.M)

astronomy tower

School was busy, the tri-wizard tournament was happening!

"It's cool, all the other schools joining us." Luna said to Adeline.

"Yeah, the Beauxbatons girls seem very nice." Adeline said. "Pretty."

"They are quite beautiful." Luna said. "I wonder if they could teach me French!"

Adeline laughed. "I'd like to learn French."

"Bonjour!" Luna said.

Adeline gasped jokingly. "Je m'appelle Adeline." She smiled. "That's about as much is I can do.."

"Me too." Luna giggled.

"Harry!" Adeline says. "Congratulations on making the tri-wizard tournament!"

"Um.. Thanks. You seem to be the only one who isn't wearing a Potter Stinks badge." Harry mutters.

"Yeah, I mean I hope Cedric does well, but I don't want you feeling like rubbish while doing it" Adeline tells him. "Are Ron and Hermione wearing them then? Or.."

"I wouldn't know. Haven't spoken to either of them in days." Harry complains.

"Oh. Have you any idea what you're doing for the first task?" Adeline asked.

"Erm, no. I can't imagine it's going to be easy." Harry told her.

Adeline could see he didn't want to talk right now.

"Alright, good luck!" Adeline waved goodbye.

***

After the first task, the Gryffindor's celebrated in the common room. Harry had gotten the egg!

"Well done, Harry!" Adeline said.

Harry smiled.

Less people were wearing Potter Stinks badges, now.

Everyone was partying and Adeline wasn't in the mood for loud noises, considering the egg had just screeched VERY loudly.

Adeline went out of the Gryffindor common room, up to the astronomy tower. Her favourite place.

Draco was sat by the railing.

"Oh- um, sorry." Adeline said. "I didn't know anyone else would be here, I go here a lot and no one is normally here."

Draco turned around, looked at her, then faced away again.

"Did I do something wrong?" Adeline asked him, sitting down next to Draco.

"No.." Draco says.

"Then why are you acting like this? You were being so nice at the start of third year." Adeline protested. "I did nothing wrong.. It just concerned me!"

Draco bit his lip nervously.

"Um.. I can go if you want." Adeline told him.

"PLEASE." Draco said. "PLEASE GO!" He stood up.

"Uh okay!" Adeline got up. Not the answer she was expecting..

"I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, ADELINE. I HAVE TO HATE YOU. I'M FORCING MYSELF TO HATE YOU!" Draco shouted.

Adeline's eyes widened.

"BECAUSE I KNOW IF I FORCE MYSELF LONG ENOUGH, THEN I WILL EVENTUALLY HATE YOU." Draco pulled his hair, angrily. "I CAN'T BE WITH YOU, ADELINE. I CAN'T! MY FATHER WOULD NEVER ACCEPT ME. HE'D HATE ME."

Adeline didn't know what to say. Her eyes went glassy.

Adeline grabbed his shoulder, softly, and said nothing.

She sat him down on the cold concrete.

Draco was panicking.

"D-Draco? It's okay." Adeline whispered.

She had her hand on his back, calming him down. He was all sweaty.

"I'm sorry Adeline." Draco says.

"It's okay. After tonight, I'll stay away from you." Adeline smiles.

She didn't want to, but she didn't want Draco to loose his and his father's bond.

Draco took a deep breathe.

"I'll go get you some water." Adeline says. "You're hot."

"I know I am." Draco teases.

"Not that way. And you switched up fast!" Adeline rolled her eyes. She went downstairs to the kitchen to get water.

"Hellooo!" Adeline said to the house-elves. "Can I get a glass of water please?"

They gave her a glass of water quickly and smiled.

Adeline ran upstairs, back to Draco.

"Bye, now." Adeline said to Draco. "Drink the water, calm down."

***

Once Adeline got back to her dorm, she flopped onto her bed. It was all very overwhelming.

That's why Draco was changing his mood every five minutes.

"Are you alright, Adeline?" Hermione asked.

"Uh.. Yes, fine.." She smiled.

"Goodnight." Frowned Hermione, as she whispered something to Parvati.

That night, it was raining heavily. Adeline didn't get much sleep.
