RECKLESS ; D.M

15. The plan

October 31st
—
Eleanor POV:

I sat at the Slytherin table, big glares of sun shining through the coloured glass windows, the smell of fresh pastries and fruits roaming the hall.

Luna was next to me talking about Theo, Theo Nott. I never thought Luna would actually like someone like Theo.

He was more of a rebellious person, more spontaneous than Luna. She was more laid back and sincere.

Every time she put her eye on him, the stare wouldn't stop. It was as if she was deeply falling for him. She really looked like she fell for him, seeing Luna look so interested in someone made me feel happiness for her, she never really had feelings for someone before.

As I left Luna in her stare I noticed someone else beside Theo, it was a tall figure......Blaise. Whenever he approached me I never knew if I should make eye contact or look away, if I should say something, if I should stay.... If I should leave.

He walked toward me, direct eye contact and a smirk on his face making me feel uncomfortable. I got myself into this situation and now needed to get myself out of it. I've never seen Blaise more than a friend.....ever.

I try to build the courage, the strength, the nerves to tell him....to tell him we cannot be more than friends......that I don't like him that way.

——
Courage, I never acctually had enough courage to do much. I could never get courage to build in me..
Father always told me I would never be good enough, never brave enough, that will change.
——

I felt awkward around him, I felt uncomfortable. I wanted to go back to friends. I would never see Blaise as more....but I know who else I would see more than friends.

I always have these thoughts running through my head like what will happen in the future. Will my father come back, will I end up with him, what ups and downs am I going to go through.

The future is something I'm always curious about and something that I'm not patient about.

I looked over to Pansy and saw the look she gave me. It was a look telling me to tell Blaise. I will tell him....just not yet.

Later on after breakfast and a few classes I went up to my dorm. In the Library Harry, Ron and Hermione had told me they think he's coming back...my father is coming back.

I don't want him come back, no one wants him back. Everything will be destroyed and I can't let that happen.

I had to come up with an idea or anything to keep Hogwarts safe and the people I love safe if he was coming back.
Then it came to me, that perfect idea came to me.

At Hermiones Dorm

"Hermione, I'm glad you opened the door" I say in hurry seeing Harry and Ron in the back.

"Uh ya sure come in" Hermione let me in and closed the doors behind.
I walked over to window and leaned against the wall. I was trying to put the words together in my mind of how I would tell them my plan.

"What is it Eleanor?" Ron gave me a weird stare.

I looked up "I have an idea, an idea that could help us with my father".

"Tell us go on" Harry let out as he began to walk closer to me.

"We should set up a secret group of students, professors and Harry maybe we could get Sirius and Remus to join. Anyway we could train every afternoon, work in spells and technique. Get ready incase you know who comes back. What do you think?" I was overthinking, I was after they would think it's a horrible plan but it's the best thing I could think of.

They all looked at each other, a smile grew on Miones face.

"Eleanor we will get a list of people, you meet us tomorrow in the Room of Requirments, after potions class." Hermione seemed proud of me, that made me feel better, it made me feel like I would be able to do something big.

I got up and left wondering who they would put on that list.

As I began to walk back to the Slytherin common room I saw Draco in the far end of the hallway. He looked frustrated his hair seemed messy and his shirt was unbuttoned a bit at the top.

He saw me staring at him and walked away.

Everyday I thought what is growing his mind. It always seemed as something was wrong with him as something was bothering him.

It was as if he was distancing himself from and I didn't understand it.
We shared a few moments together which made me feel somewhat I can't describe.
I wondered if he felt that some way.

Draco POV:

I saw her stare at me, I couldn't let her see me like this..I couldn't let anyone see me like this.

My father has been seeing me everyday, reminding me of my mark, reminding me if the dark side, reminding me of what I had to do to her.

I didn't want to do any of this. It recked me, I cant get close to her...but I have to. I have to do for him....Lord Voldemort only because of my father.
I couldn't look at my arm, seeing that mark fucked up my mind.
