I Have To Tell You Something (d.m x reader)

2- D

Weeks Before

The first day of school was here. A new school year.

I guess that's how new things begin, through new beginnings. Cliché, but not for me.

Nothing new was going to begin for me. It still felt like the same boring life I had always had.

"Hey." Theo kept snapping his fingers in front of my face and I jumped.

"What?" I asked, looking over at Blaise who closed his book to look at me.

"I asked," Theo paused, resting elbows on his knees. "If you were excited for the new school year." He finished.

I thought for a moment.

"Whats going to be exciting?"

"I don't know," Blaise said sarcastically, I saw through it almost instantly. "Maybe that we actually have a normal year without any darkness? Something relaxing?" He concluded, eyebrows raised with a grin.

A small smile appeared on my face. "Yes, I guess that is a nice thing to look forward to." I sighed, resting my hand over my left forearm.

Theo punched my shoulder playfully and sat back in his seat as the train sounded it's horn loudly, slowly moving forward.

The ride was a few hours, and when I was bored enough usually I would roam around the train, looking out the window. That was usually my routine coming to and from Hogwarts.

I dreaded the work that I was going to have to do when I arrived, but I promised myself I would excel better than the other years I had.

I'd do my very best, graduate, and then, who knows.

Did someone like me have to have anything planned after they graduate?

I knew deep down that no one would accept someone like me in the Magic Wizarding world out there.

Someone like me. And that was the question. Who exactly was I?

My thoughts were interrupted by the lady rolling around the food cart filled with sweets and candy as she knocked on our compartment door softly.

My long arm reached the lock and I slid the door open, resting back.

She smiled at me, seeing as my friends were asleep, I was the only one awake.

"Anything from the trolley dear?" She motioned to it.

"Yes, please." I'd decided after a few moments. I brought out my wallet and gave her a bit more than it was for a chocolate frog.

She handed the frog and the change to me with a smile and wished me a good day and I returned her words, sliding the door after her departure.

I was never a fan of chocolate, actually, I hated the stuff, it had a weird aftertaste.

But every time I couldn't resist and convinced myself one chocolate wouldn't hurt, when in fact afterwards, I'd regret it.

I looked in my other hand and counted the money. She had given me too much change.

I stood up leaving the chocolate frog in my seat and slid the door open, exiting, when suddenly I aggressively bumped into someone and fell backwards onto my hands, the money rolling away behind me.

I rubbed my shoulder where someone's head had bumped into, grunting.

I got up and looked down on the girl that had bumped into me, a few papers fell out of her hands onto my legs. I collected her papers neatly as she rubbed her head.

"Sorry." I muttered reaching for her hand and she grabbed my forearm as I grabbed hers, pulling her up.

I turned around and bent down, collecting my money that had rolled away and stood up

I turned around and gave her fallen papers back.

She looked up at me through her fringe that framed her face nicely. Quite nicely.
