hurt people, hurt people

Harper Potter

I followed Draco out as he ran out of the hall. I need him to know I didn't mean to kiss Viktor. It really wasn't meant to happen.

Draco entered the bathroom and I felt kinda weird following him in there, but I needed to explain myself. I don't even know why I care what he thinks after what he's done. I slowly walk in and there he is. Standing with each hand on the sink. He took his jacket and tie off and it looks like he's crying. I didn't know it was that big of a deal.

"Draco?" I called out not wanting to startle him.

"Potter? What are you doing here? Get out," He scoffed rudely. He was not getting rid of me so easily. He was breathing pretty heavily and his hands were trembling. I'm an expert as it's very common with me so I think he's having a panic attack. I didn't know Draco got those.

"Are you having a panic attack?" I asked him not wanting to assume anything.

"What does it fucking look like? That I just wanted to strip in the bathroom?" He replied to my question sarcastically.

"I get them too," I softly said walking up to him.

He looked at me, "You do?"

"Yeah quite frequently actually. Are you ok?" I added standing in front of him.

"I'm ok-no actually I'm not. What the hell are you doing kissing Krum?" Draco said turning to look away from me.

"Draco, I didn't even want to kiss him. I just felt bad rejecting him in front of everyone," I tried to explain to him.

"Like you felt bad with me?" Draco said with a croak in his voice.

"I apologize for that too, but it's different that's not fair," I said to the boy in front of me.

He laughed and turned back to look at me, "Don't bother apologizing. I don't forgive whores."

"Hurt people, hurt people right Draco?," I replied trying not to let him see that his comment hurt me a little bit.

"So you decided it's Harper and Draco again right? Because everything is up to you. You're the big Slytherin queen now aren't you?" Draco said with hurt in his eyes

"I became this 'supposed' queen when you called me out in front of everyone. Turns out people don't like when you hurt the queen," I stated.

"It suits you then. Turns out you were a bitch all along," Draco replied clearly with no emotion.

"No, you can't do that. Stop hurting me as a defense mechanism to whatever the hell is going on. If you hate me that's fine. You wanna kill me? Great. You're in love with my brother? Congrats! I don't care what happened, I can't keep doing this hot and cold thing with you it's exhausting," I finally explained.

Thinking I was gonna get something out of him Draco just said, ''I told you to get out didn't I?"

With a shocked expression on my face, "If you're gonna shut me out say it to my face."

Draco turned and looked me directly in the eye, "Just go please Harper."

I turned and walked out without saying anything. I ran into Mattheo, Theo, and Daph on my way out.

"Woah woah woah, Harper what happened?" Pansy asked me.

"Nothing? What do you mean?" I replied trying to play off the truth.

"Harper you're crying?" Theo said to me. I didn't even realize I had been crying till now. I wiped off the tears on my cheek and just muttered 'Draco.'

"Of course, how does he manage to keep making things worse?" Mattheo replied to me and just shook his head.

"Are you ok Harp?" Pansy asked me.

"No I'm not, but I will be. Just do me a favor and spread the word about this. If Malfoy wants to be an ass, he'll be known for it. As he said himself, 'I'm the big Slytherin queen and I've been a bitch all along.' If that's what he thinks then it must be true," I stated repeating Draco's words exactly as he said it himself.

"We're with you on this. He won't get away with it," Theo replied to me.

Mattheo and Pansy agreed with what Theo said. I grabbed a hold of my dress and walked pass the dance hall, left a kiss on Viktor's cheek, and continued clicking my heels on the stone pavement up the stairs.
