The Stubborn Princess (ON HOLD)

Chapter 6 - Ashes

I draw in a deep breath and stand up while the water gushes down my back. Everyone is staring waiting for me to make the next move, I turn around to face Libby who has a giant smirk on her face. "Just like old times, right?" She asked. "You know Libby, your right it is just like old times. But, you know what, I'm not going to let you do that here. This is my home and you are attacking me in my home, so all I have to say is this" I take my glass of water and pour on her.

I sit back down to finish my food completely ignoring her, the girls look at me with a bit of pride and mostly shock. I smile at them while shoving some steak in my mouth. I stopped thinking about Libby and thought why no one was eating or talking. She pulls my hair hard, now I'm pissed. What she doesn't know that I took
defense classes, we start fighting in the middle of the Great Hall no teachers breaking us up, not even father. I pin her to the floor and the Hall roars my name and I whisper in her ear, "Hear that? That's my family. So don't try this again because if you do it won't be me fighting you."

I let go of her and look around me while everyone cheers me, I smile and walk away to go to my room.

<3 <3 <3 <3

I grab some clean pjs and head into my ensuit. I shower and get ready for bed, I put my dirty clothes in the dirty clothes bin and head to my bed. I then notice a letter on my pillow, I grab my letter opener from my desk and walk over to my bed. I open the letter it's from my mother!

"Dear My little Ivy,
            I know you don't want to hear from me but I need to tell you something! They Potters will come after you, soon they will kill you! Be safe my love <3
                  Love, Mama"

I scoff reading this, knowing it's bullshit. There is only one Potter left and he is dating my friend. I walk into the living room showing father the letter, he just rolled his eyes and went back to his book. I burnt the letter, when father decided to bring up what happened in the Great Hall. I sighed knowing i'll have to explain everything,

"It started Year 3, me and her were great friends year before. I don't know what happened, then I noticed she was hanging out with these girls who were in there senior year. One day one of the older girls decided to make Libby do a dare, she was dared to spill water all over me. Think she would get into there group if she did this, well she did it and somehow she got into their group. Once the older girls graduated she became the new leader and it didn't stop she would do at least 4 times a year. People always laughed at me when she did it. Then, today she hurt me in my home," I start to cry, "and I wasn't going to let her do that. So, I stood my ground and didn't let her win". I explain, I dried my tears and sat next to Pa. "I understand sweetheart, what she did was unacceptable and don't worry I already talked to your old Headmistress, she will be punished" I smiled at him, "Thanks Pa" and leaned my head against his shoulder.

I wake up the next morning feeling refreshed and got ready for the day. I was brushing out my hair before leaving for breakfast when Dad suddenly ran out of our little home. I was utterly confused 'what was going on' I thought to myself. I put my hair brush down and grabbed my bag than ran after him.

We reached the Great Hall and a gasp came from everyone who was entering, there was snow everywhere! My father was not happy at all, maybe just a tiny bit but still. "Who did this?" He shouted, no one answered. Snaps came up to him and whispered something in his ear, father became still as a statue and pale as a ghost. He looked at me and in that moment I knew it wasn't snow, it was ashes. From my mother, she always loved the ashes after a bad potion. She kept her ashes in little empty potions bottles. I finally knew what she meant from the letter, it wasn't the Potters after me it was The Man who should not be named and his followers aka my mother.

Right then and there I fainted, I felt someone catch me I didn't know who though. Then I felt my eyes close and don't remember anything.

Draco's Pov:

I saw her staring at her father, they were talking without even talking. Then I saw her knee twitch, I knew she about to faint so I ran to her and caught her right as she passed out. I looked at Dumbledore and he nodded his head and I took her in my arms to the health wing.

It's been a couple hours now and she hasn't waken up. I won't lie, I'm scared and I want her to wake up. I wouldn't admit to anyone that I'm in love her, not even her! She finally starts to stir and ask we're is she, "Your in the Health Wing, Darling". "Draco? What..." she asked, "Do you need anything Darling?" She thought for a moment and said "I do need something", "What can I get you, anything you need?", he replied back quickly. "Come closer" he came closer to her, "Draco...can you fuck off!"
