Chapter 19
__________

Weeks and days seem to pass faster when I don't meet Draco. Yes, we do in the Great hall, in his classroom or we just randomly bump into each other in a hallway, but we haven't really talked since the other night, leaving me confused as ever..

Sometimes he asks me if I'm awake or if I'm sleeping through our minds. I usually answer and we talk for a while, I've gotten used to it. But it can't replace seeing him in person, it can't replace the eye contact and touch.

I try to ignore him on Potion lessons as much as I can, even though he makes me giggle or smile sometimes and then I have to quickly make something up to explain to Pansy.

Halloween is in 6 days - this Saturday, which
means the whole school will gather in the Great hall and we celebrate the evening together. Slytherin Friday parties on behalf of the 31st of October are at the end. I've missed one last Friday - I accidentally overslept and got to the party when it was almost over.

It's a Monday morning and I'm walking down the hallway in my Slytherin outfit - white shirt tucked into a black pleated skirt. I added a black blazer with golden buttons since it's extra cold today. Soon, we're going to have to start wearing stockings under our skirts.

All of sudden, when I almost turn around a corner, I feel someone's arm grab me and drag me toward a black wooden door. I let out a loud scream from shock and fear at the same time, then I'm muted by a hand over my mouth. Hand over my mouth...just like the last time. A hot shock goes instantly through my body as I'm trying to think clearly. It's all happening so fast.

From all my strength, I kick the person behind me and by his painful hiss, I know I hit him right in between his legs. His hand lets my mouth free and when I turn to see who it is and fight more if needed, I realize it's Theo.

"What the fuck?!" I shout at him and my hand accidentally flies to his cheek.

I slap him, but luckily not that hard. He manages to stay standing, with his one arm in his lap and other on his red cheek.

"What was that for?!"

"Don't ever do that to me again!" I raise a warning finger at him.

A mix of male and female laughter gets to my ears just a few seconds after. I look around the room he's dragged me into - it seems like a fancy bathroon with five sets of toilets in the other room, vanity and white expensive sinks. I've never been here.

"And what's this supposed to be?" I ask, frustrated, when we enter and I spot Pansy and Blaise.

"We-," Theo starts and rubs his cheek where I've slapped him, "we've noticed you were a bit closed from all of us,"

It's true. I've been thinking about telling Pansy
about Antony, but then she seemed to have totally forgotten about him, no question, nothing. I didn't want to bring it up again. Every single night, the only thing I can think about if my door is locked, if we're really safe in here, and if he's really gone. Everything would be much better if I could use magic on him, but we're strictly forbidden.

"I told you I'm fine," I lie, but my shoulders and body remain straight.

"We want to take you somewhere," Pansy adds, full of hope that I'll say yes.

"All of you?" I cross my arms by my breasts.

Theo's hisses and grunts still echo across the bathroom as he's washing his face with water in the sink.

"I'll try not to take that as an offense," Blaise chuckles.

I examine him from head to toe. He's dressed in all black - turtleneck with a pair of black jeans and martens boots. The only thing sparkling on him, bringing up his beautiful dark eyes and skin is a golden chain necklace hanging on his neck.
