YoOHoO - Tom Felton Fanfiction

Chapter 2:

Christmas went too quickly. The next few months went too quickly. Tom was back by late March. The promo photos were out by mid April...and that was the start of it...We had both assumed they didn't see anything but how wrong we were. Our usual weekend met up spot...the park down the road from school.

"Well well...You lied to us Thomas!" Max's voice shouted when he spotted us.

"What do you...oh!" Tom started until he saw the poster in Mallory's hand.

"You're worse than those freaks that read the books...since...well you are one now aren't you?" Mallory added.

"What about you Fatty?" Max turned to me.

"I'm sorry, what did you just call her?" Charlie nearly shouted.

"Shut it Charlie...you hate it as much as we do!" Mallory snapped at him.

"Did you know? Did you know that your darling Tom was in this?" Max snarled in my face...he was too close for comfort so I pushed him away.

"So what if I did...what are you going to do about it?" I kept my back straight...he wasn't going to get into my head.

"Did you want to protect your boyfriend?" Mallory lowered herself to my level...I was quite short and she was quite tall.

"He's not...you know this..and plus it wasn't up to me to tell you...it was up to Tom and he didn't want to so he didn't I've got nothing to do with this...you're just angry because you know he's going to be famous and you'll be stuck here in this shit hole where you belong!" I shouldn't have said that because Mallory then grabbed my hair and pulled me by it.

"You listen to me you little bitch...Don't you ever speak to me like that...You are pathetic..you're the one that's going to be stuck in this shit hole for the rest of your life..and-!" Everytime she paused she pulled my hair more but before Mallory could finish her sentence I kicked her leg causing her to let go of me and I fell into my brother who thank god caught me.

"I swear to god...If you touch her one more time!" Tom seethed.

"What you gunna do about it Felton...you gunna fire a spell at Mal!" Max jeered...and then Tom did what I had wanted him to do for years...he punched Max square in the nose...I'm convinced I heard it crack...but that just infuriated Max more because he launched himself on Tom and it turned into a full on fight. Some people from their school somehow appeared and started shouting 'fight, fight'. Seriously, these people are children. Our only issue was there were no teachers around to break it up. Luckily Mallory and I had the same idea and managed to pull them apart.

"Aww, look Felton...your girlfriend is saving you!" Max continued despite splitting them up, this caused Tom to jump forward but I was still holding on so he couldn't go very far.

"She's not my girlfriend!" Tom mumbled.

"Well...I think she wants you to be!" Mallory snickered.

"Sorry, what was that?" I retorted.

"Do you want to tell him or should I!" Was this meant to scare me...because it didn't...ok yes I liked Tom...but only a little bit...it was like a childhood crush...the one you like when you're younger but you never end up with...so I stormed up to her and pulled her hair like she did to me...yes I had to stand on my tiptoes to reach but that isn't the point.

"Tell him whatever you like...but if you do I'll Max that-!" I threatened before she interrupted me.

"Fine...fine!" I let go of her hair and she ushered Max and Willow away...they practically ran away.

"Well...that...was-!" I started.

"Eventful!" Tom finished.

Charlie ran off after them not long after...he wanted to make sure we were ok first. I was but i'm not sure Tom was...he refused to talk to me though...we just sat there staring at nothing in particular...and the silence was awful...you could hear the quiet screams from the little kids on the swings...the boys playing football in the field...the birds that sit in the trees...I felt awful for Tom...his parents divorce was being finalized...and now this...this was the last thing he needed right now.

"I'm sorry!" His voice was so quiet I could barely hear it.

"Why the bloody hell are you sorry?" I mumbled in response.

"Because...because of them...they're my friends...and I knew they hated Harry Potter and I knew you loved it. I thought that if they didn't know it wouldn't be so bad when it was announced...instead this...Mallory hurt you..I got in a fight with Max...I'm sorry Lizzy!"

"You have nothing to be sorry for...if anything it's my fault because I provoked Mallory!"

"But it is my fault...because I'm the one that told you not to tell them...I'm the one that lied!" He was beating himself up over it...he felt bad because I got hurt...and that made me feel bad because I knew he'd blame himself if I got hurt. I'm just glad he didn't pick up on what Mallory threatened me with.

"Come on...we should get you back!" I stood in front of him and held my hands out for him to take.

"I can't go back like this...My mum will kill me!" He took my hands and I helped him up.

"Then you can come to mine...but you can't hide it from her!" He grabbed my hand which he hadn't done for a while.

------------------------------------------------------

"What was Mallory on about?" Tom asked as we turned onto my street.

"Nothing!" I mumbled and Tom stopped walking and made me look at him.

"You can tell me Lizzy!" Tom looked at me. I refused to look at him.

"I told you...it's nothing!" I continued walking and dragged him to my house.

Of course my mother wasn't happy when she saw Tom...actually she was fuming...she refused to keep it a secret...she was going to tell Sharon and I didn't blame her...but I knew Tom was going to be in trouble for instigating a fight. It wasn't his fault though...we are...were..I don't know anymore...with nasty people...we were just scared by them. Could you blame us?
