My Enemy, Draco

TWENTY FOUR

I hated him but I couldn't stop loving him.

I woke up in Draco's dorm to the sight of Draco himself waiting for me to wake up. I kept my eyes closed for almost ten more minutes trying to figure out what to do. My arm felt as if it was on fire but that was the least of my worries. I had to get out of Draco's dorm. It was his fault I was a death eater and I couldn't be around him. I couldn't.

"Daniella-" Draco said the moment I opened my eyes.

"This is all your fault." I whispered with fear lingering in my tone.

I got up as quickly as I could and ran for the door so I could get out of Draco's dorm. Instead of what I thought was going to be an easy escape without Draco saying anything to me he grabbed my wrist and pulled me away from the door.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" I shouted at him as I slapped his hand away from my wrist. "I hate you."

To my surprise he didn't say anything but instead let me leave. I ran as quickly as I could to my dorm with tears running down my face. I finally made it to my dorm and I ran in, hoping Pansy wasn't going to be there, but to my luck she was sitting on her bed.

"Daniella what's wrong?" She asked after seeing me come running into our dorm sobbing.

I stood still with complete fear paralyzing me for a few moments before I finally broke down. "They took me, I didn't have a choice." I said in between hiccups of my hopeless crys.

"Who took you?" She asked with a wave of confusion covering her face.

I couldn't find the words to explain what happened so instead I walked over next to her and pulled up my sleeve to show her the dark mark.

Pansy said nothing but covered her mouth with her hand and hugged me. After a few moments of silence she finally began to speak. "Daniella, how did this happen?"

Over the next hour I explained everything that happened to Pansy and made sure she knew she couldn't tell anyone.

Two Weeks Later

Over the course of a week I managed to stay out of sight from Ginny and the others. It was exhausting, every time I would see one of them I had to stop what I was doing to make sure they wouldn't see me. Not only did I have to avoid them I had to avoid Draco. I couldn't bare to see him, it was entirely his fault that I became a death eater and I would not speak to anyone who ruined my life like that. I missed him so much but I knew I had to stay away from him and that I had to hate him.

I was eating breakfast with Pansy sitting as far as we could away from Draco as well as Ginny and everyone else when I realized I couldn't stay away from them much longer. It was taking over my life and I had much more important things to worry about.

"I have to go, I'll see you during Potions." I told Pansy as I was getting up from the Slytherin table. I started to make my way towards the Gryffindor table where Ginny, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Neville were sitting. I finally walked up to them to where they were sitting on the table and sat down in between Ginny and Harry.

Their eyes widened as if they had just seen a ghost and just as Harry tried to speak to me I interrupted him. "Since I know you all cared so deeply about my safety at the Department of Mysteries I thought I would let you all know I managed to escape." I knew I couldn't tell them what really happened, especially in front of everyone. I gave them the hardest smile I could come up with before getting up to leave.

As I was getting up to leave I noticed Draco was watching me, I gave him the coldest look I could before turning my attention out of the Great Hall so I could go back to my dorm. I was almost out of the Great Hall before I realized Ginny was following me. I acted as if I didn't notice her, hoping she would leave me alone.
