The princes Green Gem

Part 10

Neither to say less it was weird when Draco got out of the shower. I could have sworn I heard Draco crying but I blocked it. I didn't need to feel guilty about this on top of Ginny as well. I vowed as soon as I stepped out the bathroom door, that Ginny would never know about this night. Or the other.
Not that he could even remember either of them.
I stood in the middle of Draco's room feeling lost. I didn't want to seat down on his bed and get it wet. I finally sat down in the corner of the room when I heard Draco getting out of the shower.
I watch as he opens the door and looks around. He pauses when his piercing silver eyes meet mine. I watch him suck in a breath, as I hold mine.
He breaks eye contact and goes toward his closet. I look down at my hands.
Something was thrown at me and landed in my lap.
I look at what Draco throws at me and then at him. He didn't even look my way as he lays down and covers himself up with his blanket.
"It's the only thing I have. Sorry." He mumbles before fully covering himself up with the blanket.
I sigh standing up and looking at the hoodie in my hand. It's dark green.
I take my shirt off and sit it down on the ground. After I put the hoodie on I walk over to Dracos desk and seat down. Falling asleep almost instantly.

I woke with a loud bang outside.
I shot up and look toward the door. I glazed over at Draco to see him staring at the door as well. "I should probably go..." I say slowly standing up. Completely forgetting I had Dracos hoodie on.
"Yeah," Draco says slowly not making eye contact with me.
I don't look back. I didn't want to see what I presume is sadness on Draco's face. It's better to avoid him now.
I make my way to the common room and immediately start getting questioned by Ron and 'Mione.
"Where have you been?"
"Where did you sleep?"
"Who's hoodie is that??" Ron demands staring at the hoodie they both go quick and look at my hoodie.
"Um.. I don't remember someone gave it to me last night when I spilled water all over myself." Ron nods believing me, but Hermione doesn't believe me but she drops it.
"So you and my sister are engaged?"
"I guess?" I stared into the fire. Hoping he drops it. He doesn't.
Ron looks at me bewildered, "What do you mean you guess? Either you are or you aren't." "That was a promise ring. I gave it to her the summer before the war."
"And we didn't know because..." Neville asks. I look over to see him seating by Ron.
'When did he get here?'
"I just didn't think about it," I say honestly looking back over at the fire.
"What do you mean you didn't think about it???" Ron demands standing and starts walking back and forth.
"That is something pretty important, Harry," Hermione states looking back and forth between Ron and myself.
I sigh and nod. "I know."
"Okay, Harry."
"But.."
"I said, Okay Ronald." I watch 'Mione give him a death glare to shut him up. I laugh.
"What y'all want to do?"
"I don't know I am pretty tired."
"We have studying to do, and homework to do before Monday. Would you like to join us outside Harry?" I look over at Neville and smile.
"Yes. Lemme go grab my bag." I jog to my room and grab my bag. I see myself in the mirror and pause.
'I should change.' Looking at Dr-Malfoys hoodie I go to take it off. I pause as it covers my face, pulling it back down and smelling it. It smells so good tho.
I bite my lip and contemplate it. Just this one time.

I meet them by the entrance of the garden and we walk to find a clear area. We found one sooner than we had first thought.
But when I look up I see why. Dr-Malfoy was propped up on a tree. I think doing homework?
I sigh and look down toward my homework and begin.

"So break time." Ron smiles and slams his back shut.
"Ron it has been 10 minutes." Sighing he opens up his book and begins again.

"Harry why is Malfoy staring at you?" Neville asks from beside me.
"Wh-" My head snaps up to meet his eyes. He looks away as soon as I catch them.
"He has been from like ten minutes."
I shrug my shoulders looking down again.

"Hey babe," Ginny says walking up to us. I smile at her exhaustion probably clean on my face. "Tired?" She asks. I nod my head slowly. She sits down and pulls me to her.
"Take a nap love." I could love her.
I drift off watching Malfoy read. 
He looks so peaceful. 
Happy almost. 
Free. 

"Harry come on love wake up."
I jerk up and my eyes have to adjust to the darkness.
"Come on. The Slytherin's are having a party and they're getting closer." Ginny says pulling me up with her. "Where are Ron and 'Mione?"
"They left as soon as the party started." "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"You looked peaceful." She says honestly. I smile at her greatly.
"Th-" I got cut off when someone yells at me.
"Well...Well..Well... If it isn't Mr. and Mrs. Golden Boy." Malfoy slurs stumbling over toward us with Blaise and Pansy behind him grinning like madmen. 
"What do you want?" Ginny demands trying to actually shield me from him. I almost awed at that but grabbed her hand pulling her beside me.
I watch as Malfoy's eyes zero in on our joint hands.
I almost smirk at that but I don't. 
"So it is true?" Blaise says. "It wasn't fake or anything?"
Before Ginny could answer I answered for her.
"Yes."
Malfoy's eyes leave our hands and meet mine almost hurt. 
"No, it isn't."
"Yes. Yes, it is."
"But you love me?" He sounded so hurt, but I know he was faking it. 
Yes?
"No Draco. I don't." I pull Ginny closer to me and we walk away.
My head starts hurting so I leave Ginny in the common room and go to my room. There was a note on Ron's bed. 

Harry,
Sleeping in 'Mione's room. See you later.
Ron

I sigh and throw the note in the trash. I should ask Ginny to sleep in her. Before I left my room tho I saw my fifth and stop. 
Closing the door I make my way toward it. 
'Just a couple of sips won't hurt.' 

Annnd I woke up with a hangover. "We going to the library if you want to go," Ron says turning on the light. I groan. "She'll come to get me if I don't won't she?" He gives me the eye and I already know the answer to my question. 
I groan again and get up. 
"Okay. I have to finish my essay for Astronomy anyway." I grab my bag. "You're going to go in your PJ bottoms and that hoodie?" Ron questions. I nod my head. "I guess I will too." He laughs throwing his arm around me and walking out. 
We make our way to the library. I nod at Neville and kiss Ginny and 'Mione on the cheek. I seat my bag down in my chair and try to go find the book I'm looking for. 
"No Blaise I don't like him." 
"You asked him if he loved you yesterday." 
"No, you stated it like you knew or...Or was hoping he did." I hear Pansy say and somehow I knew they were talking about me. 
"No. I want to crush that little golden boy, and I'm sure it'll hurt him to get them separated." 
I knew it. I suppress my cry and walk back to my table without the book. 
"Didn't find what you were looking for?" I shake my head and look down at my essay. I mean I didn't have feelings for him but I thought... I thought we were at least friends. I blink back tears and vow I would never fall for that ferret's tricks again. 


I laugh as Ron, Neville, and I walked outside. "Ron no!" Ron tells him. "Ron YES!" I grin. "Party it is then. You can't say no to the Golden Boy Neville." Ron jokes but this time it didn't annoy me.  I laugh and nod my head. 
"Well of course not Neville. That's like... Illegal." I see platinum blond hair out the corner of my eye, but I walk right past him. 
I will not acknowledge him. 
"Party outside tonight?"
"Of course." 
I touch my bracelet and take a deep breath. Okay. 


Smiling I walk with Ron and 'Mione to the Garden where we are partying. I am going to try my best to not get drunk tonight because apparently, I do.. Quiet literally stupid things when I do. However, as soon as someone hands me a shot I take it. 

We're all dancing, jumping around, and just having a great time, I pause my dancing when I see a green gem. Before I could look too close it disappears. 
Should I? 
I should. 
I nod my head and move toward where it disappeared. Subconsciously grab mine as I chase the one that looks like mine. 
I see the figure walk into the woods, and I follow. 
"Wait!" I holler at the person. The person freezes and so do I. I sway back and forth but I try to ignore it. "Who are you?" 
The person didn't speak. For a minute I think I imaged the person but then the person slowly turns to face me. 
I gasp in horror. 
"YOU!"
