The slytherin queen

Chapter 21: Villain

Draco slammed the door behind Amalia, making her flinch as she leaned against the wall close to the window. Away from him, she had to be away from him. She had no idea what he wanted to talk about but he was really mad.

He took a seat at the desk, not bothering with the chair and just sat on top of the desk. He waved at her with a hand.

-Go on, explain yourself.

-I'm sorry? Explain myself? Why would I explain myself?

He looked at her with an intense gaze and breathed deeply, that wasn't the response he was awaiting from her.

-Yeah, explain yourself. Talk. Cause I really don't understand shit right now.

-What do you want me to say? Nothing happened between me and Harry, he just held my hand and you seemed to come at the worst moment.

He snapped cause he just stood straight, in mere seconds, he just stood and came towards her after he punched the desk so hard it shook. He halted when he was half the way. He raised his voice.

-I'm not talking about that. I fucking know nothing happened. I know you're loyal. I know you love me as much as I love you. I know you wouldn't do that.

He paused giving her the right timing to straighten her spine. She didn't move towards him. No, she kept her distance. But she raised her voice as well.

-Then, what are you mad about? Huh? I don't understand. You just left without saying goodbye. A week, Draco, you've been gone for a week. With no message, no letter of where you are.

-You sure you want to know what I am mad about? That was in a low tone, a scary tone, a threatening tone.

-Yes. I want to know.

If anyone happened to come past their bedroom, they would hear the whole conversation, or argument, or fight? She didn't know what this was.

-Well, Amalia darling, I've been home, I wasn't able to send a letter because they told me things, lots of things. Guess about who? YOU! They told me how you escaped from him. They told me many, I didn't believe it. Not until I saw those bodies. The Dragon. You slayed him the same way you killed the other one at the first task, and I come and find you had a duel with my best friend, with some freaking shadows. SHADOWS? From where did you get those? So, tell me, Amalia, Elizabeth, Whatever, is it true what they say? Is it true you're more fearsome and scarier than your father? Is it true what you did to those innocent men?

Something inside her eased. A truth she's been trying to hide from her lover has erupted. He knows everything, she tried to be shocked, to look surprised but she couldn't. Because she knew this would eventually happen. That one day, her truth will go flying with the wind to people's ears.

She dipped her chin low and looked down, the tears forming at the edge of her eyes. She didn't want to cry. She has to stop herself from crying.

She felt no remorse, though. Not an ounce of guilt, nothing. She almost remembered Lisa when she felt his hand lift her chin to look at him. She didn't. Trying to look away from him. Everywhere but his face, his eyes. She wouldn't stand the hatred in those eyes, she wouldn't stand to see her reflection in them.

-Look at me. A silent command

She sighed deeply, pushing all the tears back, and looked at him straight in the eye.

There wasn't hatred in there. No, something was shining in them and she was in the middle of it. His stare was intense, warm, and welcoming.

He kept his voice low.

-Tell me the truth, Amalia, please, I beg of you. No more secrets. Tell me everything.

-I-I can't. You'll hate me after it.

-I would never hate you. I love you.

-Then, you'll consider me a villain for what I did, if you didn't hate me, you'll hate what I did.

- I'd never hate you. Any part of you or what you did. Do you know that I fell in love with you when I first saw you? I just kept looking at you thinking that one day I'd make you mine. After our encounter at the astronomy tower, I knew I didn't want to be your friend, I wanted to be more, I wanted to be yours, I've never felt that kind of feeling my entire life. I admit it scared me at first but I got it. I fell in love with you, Amalia, not your actions, but you. You trusted me and told me many things but it wasn't enough. I just had to know everything about you and know your whole life. I thought you'd be the hero of my story, to only find myself falling harder for the villain inside of you.

She couldn't stop them. She couldn't stop the tears from falling from her eyes. She couldn't say anything either. His words went deep into her heart, deep into a place she'd never known.

-Don't cry, I hate it when you cry.

He kissed her tears away with a smile and she looked up at him again. She didn't care if her eyes were bloodshot by the tears she was still trying to force back, or that her cheeks were red and swollen with tears.

She just got on her toes and kissed him, kissed him hard. A kiss full of all the emotions she had at that moment. She wasn't going to lie, she never felt that way with anyone, She never felt the love she felt for the blond boy standing in front of her.

He responded to her kiss, with the same force, with the same feelings. He tasted her, devoured her, felt her with each stroke of his tongue against hers, his hands were cupping her cheeks while hers were gripping at his shirt, trying to bring him in, bring him closer.

They both pulled away at the same, and she opened her eyes to see him looking down at her with a smile. Not the smiles he gave to everyone, no this one was a genuine smile, the perfect one he could ever make.

-I know that they told you that I lied to get my way a lot, and I did and still do, I won't deny that, but I never lied to you, Draco. I never lied about my feelings for you, they're real. I love you, I've loved you since my first day. They told me to stay away but I couldn't. I love you, please believe me when I say it.

-I believe you, Amalia. I love you too.

He pulled her to a kiss this time, it was gentle but meaningful.

She pulled back and sighed, partly to catch her breath, but she had to tell him her story before things got heated up.

-I guess you want to hear the story now

-I've been dying to.
