Saved

Chapter 2

River

Later that night after both my roommates Tracy and Pansy had already fell asleep I made my way down to the common room because I couldn't sleep. I blinked towards Draco, he was sitting in one of the arm chairs staring at the fire emotionless. His eyes flickered towards me with a tear falling down his face before he quickly wiped it away, he then marked his eyes back on the fire. For a moment I thought of just going back to my dormitory and respecting my fathers wishes. But Maybe it was the lack of sleep, or maybe it was the fact that I at least give a little bit of care towards Malfoy, I actually felt for him.

" Why are you still standing their Snape, isn't it a little late for someone like you to be up and out of bed?" He asks blankly still not looking up at me.

I sit down on the couch beside the chair he was sitting in. "Someone like me?" I raise an eyebrow.

He scoffs and puts his drink to his lips he says " Do you always walk around dressed like that?" He then tips his head back drinking whatever was in the mug, I could tell it was some type of alcohol by his reaction to it. I look down at what I was wearing, I had on a white sweater with short black spandex, I hadn't thought anyone would be down here at this hour so I didn't really think to put on sweat pants.

" Why are you getting drunk Malfoy? Your parents being bitches again?" I smirk towards him.

" Your mom being a bitch again?" He returns my smirk without even looking at me.

   My mother died in a car crash years back, I was never told her name or even the slightest thing about her. I didn't want to know considering it didn't matter.

" Hm, funny. How's your dad? Still riding Voldemort's dick? Bet Narcissa isn't to happy about it." My smirk grows bigger as he snaps his head towards me.

" Don't talk about my family slut, your father couldn't keep his hands off Lily for two seconds and when he did he made you. Clearly the biggest regret of his life considering he didn't even want to spend the summer with you. Do everyone a favor and shut the hell up." He chugs the rest of his drink and storms upstairs to the boys dormitories. I would say his words hurt but I saw right through him, when he's vulnerable he tries making everyone else around him miserable.

   The next day I didn't go to breakfast, Instead I studied in the common room to get ready for my first period, potions. Only a few people lingered in there waiting for classes to start, None of them found it necessary to talk to me until Flint decided to finally make a remark to me.

   " So you really are your fathers daughter, huh?" He says sitting beside my legs on the couch. I had my knees bent leaning on the side of the couch while my papers were on my thighs.

   I scoff "what do you want Flint" he puts his hand on my thigh and I immediately look up from my papers.

   " Have you ever done quidditch?" He asks staring me in my eyes. The door opened quickly as my father appearing in the door way, Flints hand swung off my leg trying to keep my dad from seeing it. The room filled with silence.

  " Detention for two weeks Flint, keep your hands off my daughter." He said staring him down. I stand up and walk over to him " We shall talk outside River." Everyone stared at me as he grabbed my wrist dragging me out of the room.

    " What the hell was that?" He asked sternly with an uncomfortable look on his face.

    " Me and Flint have nothing going on dad, I don't know why he put his hand on my thigh but he was just talking to me about quidditch." He paused for a moment staring me in the eyes.
