Roses Draco Malfoy

I HAVE ALWAYS HATED ROSES

Emilia's POV.

I have always hated roses.

Roses were the flowers at my parent's funeral.

Roses were the flowers that my cheating ex-boyfriend gave me.

Roses were the flowers that brought blood to my fingers every time I touched them.

I have always hated roses and roses have always hated me.

I sat on my bed staring at the vase on my windowsill , it carried one wilting rose.

I tried to ignore the feelings of hatred I held towards the person who gave me that rose. I fought to suppress my anger towards my cheating ex-boyfriend but it resurfaced for the millionth time that day.

He showed up a week ago on my doorstep with the rose, asking for me back. He claimed he thought the bitch that he fucked was me, and that he had no idea it was his best friend.

The one he told me "not to worry about".

The one he promised me was "nothing more than a friend".

The one he swore was "like a sister to him".

Standing up from the bed, I scoffed. No fucking way am I going to let him ruin my mood. I walked over to the windowsill, approaching the vase as if it held poison as it's contents.

I turned the handle on my window and threw the rose out of it. Out of sight, out of mind.

Before I got the chance to close my window an owl bumped into my vase. It shattered and the water spilled all over the floor.

The owl recovered instantly and I noticed in between its beak it held a letter. I examined it carefully, noticing the red wax sealing it.

I reached for my wand and cleared the wet mess and the glass shards. Reluctantly I said goodbye to the unfamiliar but cute owl and closed the window.

I hopped onto my comfy bed and sat with my legs crossed.

I looked at the sealed letter for a mere second before ripping it open.

The letter read:

Dear Emilia,

I'm so glad that you didn't take him back, how dare he not know how much you despise roses! If he really wanted you, he would have known. Personally I think you dodged a bullet. Anyway, on the way to Hogwarts we must make sure to snatch the biggest compartment on the train! I know we normally sit with Draco, Blaise and Pansy but apparently Draco has a super hot cousin and his name is Lorenzo. I know right, I heard he's a major smash so this is the perfect chance for you to get over your cheating EX.

Love Jamie,

Ps. Don't forget my white top, you have borrowed it for months now.

Love youuuuu x

I closed the letter and smiled to myself. I had the best friend in the whole world.

She loved me and I loved her. She was with me since the first day of school in the first year and we have been inseparable ever since she offered me a jellybean on the train.

And who knew that Draco has a hot cousin??? I can't wait to see this.

*time jump*

After dinner I pack my suitcase, prepare my owl's cage, catch up on summer reading and write back to my best friend.

Tomorrow is the first day of my last year at Hogwarts. I cannot wait to go back because Hogwarts is my home and I'm going to miss it terribly after this year.

In the shower I think of all the fun memories I have made with my amazing friend group.

My first time drinking firewhiskey at a slytherin party, the time Blaise and I ate too much chocolate and threw up all over Draco, the time Draco and I bickered over wether you can train your owl to do your astronomy homework or not.

Believe it or not I actually got on quite well with Draco, we weren't best friends or anything but certainly not enemies. He was always kind-of different with me. Almost as if he had a soft spot for me and nobody else.

I turned of the hot water and let said water go down the drain along with my pleasant memories. I got back to focussing on my skincare routine.

After i finished up in the bathroom I climbed into bed and tried my very best to fall asleep.

Turns out it's fucking impossible to fall asleep when your mind is going about 10000 miles per hour.

I couldn't get this years possibilities out of my mind. Now that I'm single again I can have my pick from so many hot guys in Hogwarts. I don't have an actual type so I find anything attractive. I have a longggggg list of potential crushes ranging from the Weasley twins to the sexy Cedric diggory.

This year nothing was holding me back and I was ready to explore the new territory of boys at school.

I fell asleep eventually dreaming of tomorrow's adventures.

Guys. This was super short, unorganized and uneventful. HOWEVER. I will do my best to update tomorrow again. PLEASE PLEASE comment while you read this chapter and give it a star because it genuinely means a lot to me.

Love, A.
