cold shoulder

Harper Riddle

After a somewhat rest, I woke up to find the spot next to me empty. I got up out of bed and found a uniform laid out for me. Draco must have grabbed it last night.

I put on the black mini skirt with a white long sleeve and my green tie. After I threw my hair up in a ponytail and made sure I looked decent before leaving.

I made my way down to the great hall hoping to find Draco there.

"Hey there pretty girl," Pansy said to me as I passed him in the hallway.

"Hii Pansy, how you been?" I asked the girl.

"Good all good, I miss you though. You can sleepover in our dorm whenever you want if you feel lonely or just want a girls night," Pansy suggested to me with a nervous smile.

"You're such an angel. I don't deserve you seriously. I'll definitely take up that offer," I said to the girl while slinging my arm around her.

We both walk into the great hall heading for our usual spot at the Slytherin table. I saw Draco and placed a kiss on his cheek before sitting down next to him.

"Hi baby," I said to the blonde boy.

"Hey," He dryly replied.

"You okay?" I asked him.

"Why wouldn't I be? Sorry I'm not up to your happy standards," He rudely said to me.

"Mr. Grumpy is back," Blaise said laughing.

"Shut it Blaise, go back to being an arse towards everyone else except me," Draco again rudely snapped at his friend.

Talk about some awkward silence.

"I see there's more than meets the surface so I'm just gonna uh- yeah i'm gonna go," Blaise suggested.

"Yeah me too," Pansy said.

"Also leaving," Mattheo and Theo mumbled.

"What happened?" I asked Draco lowly so only he could hear me.

"Nothing happened, Blaise is just annoying as fuck," Draco bluntly said.

"No because you're also giving me the cold shoulder when I've done nothing. I thought we were fine especially after last night?," I asked trying to get any answer from Draco.

"Look Harper, I was pissed off last night and just wanted to see you get off. It meant nothing so I just need you to leave me alone," Draco pleaded with me.

I know he's going through something, but he's hiding it by deflecting and hurting people. I do the same exact thing.

"Okay, but you know I'm here. I'm the one person who understands what's happening. Don't shut me out," I reminded him.

"Isn't that all you do to me? Shut me out?" Draco said to me quickly with an attitude.

"Draco-" I proclaimed before I was interrupted.

"Shut the fuck up. I told you to drop it," Draco told me off before standing up and leaving me in the great hall with my jaw dropped.

WE GET GRUMPY BOYS PERSPECTIVE FINALLY I KNOW IM SORRY

Draco Malfoy

I can't tell Harper what's wrong. More likely because nothing is wrong.

It's the fact that I can't hate her that's wrong. The fact that no matter what she does, I keep coming back like a freaking disease.

I'm glad that there's something forcing us together because eventually maybe we'll learn to find things to like. She will undoubtedly understand me and I will unconditionally love.

As of right now we are friends. Friends who look for the other in a room. Friends who can recognize each others touch. Friends who are getting married in just a few months. Friends who go from loathing to desperately needing the other. The question of were we ever really friends remains.

I've never been a fan of change. The past few months? A lot of change. It hadn't really hit me until I woke up this morning to a beautiful sleeping Harper. Daughter of the dark lord in my bed. I just need time to process, but she doesn't understand that.

Harper likes to help people or more specifically fix things. It's probably a natural habit from her OCD. She has an overwhelming addiction to fix people. I of course want her to help me, but I think she'll judge.

She doesn't know that I try every night to take off the dark mark. She doesn't know that I pray for her to be able to live a life without her father.

I think she would see me differently if she knew the monsters in my closet. If I opened up, I'm afraid she would leave me there open and exposed.

So instead of opening up, I close myself. I deflect and I know it. Everything she said is true. I don't share what's going on and instead I'm awful to the people that care the most about me.

So when I realized Harper was in my bed it kinda freaked me out. She had slept in my bed before because she's afraid to sleep alone, but little does she know so am I.

We had never slept in the same bed after doing something you know. It just felt way more personal now. As if we weren't two people in an arranged marriage. We were acting like people who wanted each other. I think we're past acting honestly. We are people who want each other, but will never admit to that. I just keep messing up everything by talking to her like a complete arse.

My parents have always been obsessed with astronomy hence my name. It rubbed off on me because I do think it has to do with who you are. I'm a Scorpio and Harper is a Leo.

A Scorpio man is known as a very kind-hearted and gentle with a joyous, though sometimes, moody nature. He is generally hardworking and has many ambitions and aspirations in life. Which completely represents me except for the moody part right?

A Leo woman, on the other hand, is upfront, brave, and warm-hearted. She is also very aggressive and staunch in her characteristics. A Leo female loves to be adored and admired by people around her and is generally a bit self-centered, but remains poise at the same time. This is a complete description of Harper as she's humble, but loves the spotlight.

While the Leo woman has the fire element in her that makes her bold, fierce, and spontaneous in her actions, the Scorpio man has the water element that makes him adaptable and ever-flowing.

We have intense chemistry and make a great competitive team, but also power struggle and clash personalities. We are both stubborn and selfish and always let our pride get in the way. I have no idea what I'm gonna do.
