Chapter 23

River

Draco and I hadn't talked at all since last night, even at breakfast this morning he sat next to his mom instead of next to me which was so unlike him. He always seemed to do this when something bad happened, it's like he doesn't want me to see him vulnerable but I already have so it makes no sense to why he still hides his feelings. All Malfoy's are confusing people but Draco takes the winning medal on being the most unpredictable with his feelings.

I walked downstairs hoping to find something to do, I had been studying all day trying to not fall to behind on my schoolwork but that becomes unbearably boring at some point.

I didn't find any entertainment but I did however find a garden, that was something.

I walked along the sidewalk paths that led through all the bushes that carried a variety of flowers, I'd say it's the best pair of flowers I've ever seen. It was a mix of things which I always found fascinating.

" Flowers?" I turned around to see Draco behind me with his arms crossed, " I never saw you as a flower type of girl." He stated walking again this time in front of me.

" I've always been a flower type of girl Malfoy." I replied following after him at a slow pace.

He picked up a rose from one of the bushes and stared at it as he continued walking, " Perhaps you could have told me that, I would have loved to buy you flowers Miss Snape."

I chuckled, " I didn't find it necessary, you never seemed to be the caring type Mr Malfoy."

He stopped walking but didn't look back at me, pissing him off was the only way I could get emotions out of him anymore.

" And whys that?" He turned his head making eye contact with me.

I twirled a daisy in between my fingers and stared down at it, " You haven't talked to me at all today," My eyes traveled to his again, " Vulnerability doesn't seem to be your thing." I shrugged.

He took a deep breath in and turned to me so he was fully facing me, " What's so wrong with that?"

A small smile creeped onto my face, he truly was a dumbass. "I suppose that's okay, to some people." I paused, " Just not me."

He narrowed his eyes at me," I have done so much to show that I care for you, stuff I would never do for any other girl and you just don't see that do you?" He let go of the flower and it fell gracefully landing on the floor, I stared down at it for a moment before meeting his glossy grey eyes again.

My smile left my face, " Im not having this conversation right now, there's so much going on and you're trying to pick a fight." I shook my head and turned to walk away.

" Of course you're gonna walk away because have you ever actually thought of other people's feelings?"

I turned back around and scrunched up my eyebrows, " Don't fucking pull that card Malfoy," I stated storming back over to him, he backed up slightly. "We have done so much for each other, it's been made obvious that neither of us are selfish. I would do anything for you and I can tell you would do the same so why is this even a fight?" I asked staring him in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, he just stood there trying to read my expression.

I swiftly made my way back inside before I could say something else I shouldn't.

****

As you can tell, it didn't take long before more fucked up things happened, I could hear apparating sound from outside, anytime I heard that it was never a good thing.
