Alone

I Shouldn't Care

"Tracy I'm going down for breakfast! Your taking to long and it's Monday, they've got pancakes down there!" I yelled up to her. "I'll meet you downstairs!"
"Yeah, yeah," she shouted back before I walked out into the dungeons, I almost ran straight into a group of people as I turned the corner.
I looked up to see who they were; Pansy, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle. . . No Draco.

I walked around them without anyone bothering me, Blaise ran up behind me leaving the other three behind. "Where's the ferret?" I questioned him.

"I don't know, I was actually going to ask you if you'd seen him?" He gave me a worried glance.

"Nope, haven't seen him." I muttered as I thought back to the last time I had seen him. It had been 2 days ago, maybe three. I saw him at dinner on Friday I think, he was sitting by him self.

"He isn't showing up to any meals," Blaise explained.

"And why would I care?" I asked as I stopped walking and looked over to him. He looked really worried.

"I just thought you'd want to know. . . if you see him tell him to come talk to me." He sighed before walking off back towards his friends.
As I continued walking I couldn't help but think about Draco. I know I said I didn't care but in reality my head was spinning. Where was he? Am I sure I saw him three days ago, maybe it was two?

I was walking to potions, my last class of the day. Draco hadn't been at any of his classes. I may be trying to deny it but my fingers were crossed in hope that he'd be in potions.
I walked in just on time to see, once again, no Draco. I sat down beside Blaise and leaned over to him. "Did you see Draco at all today?"

"No, not once." He whispered back.

"Zabini, Aurora. Would you like to share with the class what it is you two think is more important then my teachings." He asked us cooly.

"Professor, we were just wondering where Draco was. We haven't seen him since Friday." Blaise answered. Snape looked over to Draco's seat. Worry covered his face but he quickly  snarled as he looked back over to us.

"Mr Malfoy has informed me that he will be missing class today because he is sick." He explained before turning back to the class.

"He's not sick, he  didn't come back to the dorms last night and when I got up he wasn't there either." He muttered as he leaned over to me. 

"Where is he?" I muttered to myself.

"No idea," Blaise sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Are you sure he's not sleeping with someone?" I questioned him out of no where. Blaise looked surprised at my question but then shook his head.

"No he's being secretive about it, and he'd tell me if he was." He whispered, still looking ahead at Snape. "And . . .he's still not over you."

"Zabini, Potter! Detention!" Snape snapped at us.

"Sorry professor," we apologized in unison.

"7:00 tomorrow, here in my office." He stated, we both nodded in agreement. "Now open to page 107."

I was walking up to the Hufflepuff dormitory just after dinner to go see Cedric when something caught my eye, someone.

I turned just in time to see Draco walk into the bathrooms.

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care.

I kept repeating the words in my head as I crept into the boys bathroom. I peered around the corner to see Draco.
