The Consequence Of Power

Returning To Class

The thoughts never left her head. She laid in bed as the other girls were asleep and tried to hold her tears in so she wouldn't wake them. She was one to always overthink and rip herself apart over anything that happened in her life. This situation topped everything she had worried about. She was terrified Draco would break up with her or worse, ignore her. It did not take long for her to fall asleep. The tears never dried as she slept, they just lingered on her cheeks, struggling to soak into her skin from how many she had cried. They just dripped onto the pillow. She tossed and turned, drenched in sweat and her nightgown was almost see-through from the amount of sweat on her body. Nightmares, she was having so many nightmares, ones about Voldemort and ones about Pansy trying to kill her. She was not shocked Pnasy tried to do it but at the same time, how could she? why couldn't she just ask if it was Rhiannon's fault Draco was sent away, why did she have to turn to try to kill her, well technically what she did wouldn't have killed her, it would just be sleep for eternity. Pansy clearly did not think her plan through if she thought that would kill someone. Rhiannon was a strong witch and it would take a lot to kill her, but, she was not invisible. As the night went on of miserable and terrifying nightmares, she woke up, later than others, she was late to class, of course. Breakfast was not an option anymore. She quickly got out of bed and got dressed. She slipped on her uniform and robes, grabbing her books and headed to potions.

"Draco?" Pansy shot out of her desk as people were walking into potions, she ran over as he walked closer, she latched onto him and he quickly pushed her off "Excuse you, dont touch me" He fixed his suit, giving her an annoyed look "Sorry, im just happy to see you Draco, you look good" She bit her lip with a smile "I know I do" He sat down and she stood there looking around, embarrassed with rejection. Goyle let out a little laugh from it "Shut it Goyle" She snapped as she sat back down "Sorry Pansy" He put his head down. Draco looked confused about why he listened to Pansy, or why he was afraid of her it seemed. "Since when are you scared of her?" He leaned down to Goyle and whispered in his ear "Im not" Goyle said through his teeth "Well, it seemed like she had control over you. Are you really going to let that girl boss you around?" He chuckled "I don't have a choice Draco, and dont ask why because she would kill me if I told you" He leaned back into his chair, concerned about what Goyle meant. He kept looking at the door, wondering why Rhiannon had not shown up yet. He was scared she was avoiding him and he still had so much regret about how he treated her last night, she was so sweet and kind and he completely ignored it. He hurt her, the love of his life. He hated every second he sat there with his thoughts and regrets. She had every right to walk away, even if she was avoiding him, he was not mad about it, she did not deserve his actions or his time. Then she walked in, looking tired and pale, his eyes lit up as he straightened his back, she looked at him, but she looked away and sat down. "What the fuck is she doing here" He heard Pansy snarl to Goyle "What are you on about Pansy? She is in class like everyone else" He looked over at Pansy and raised an eyebrow with confusion "Yes, silly me, I was just wondering why she would be here since her little accident yesterday, she was in terrible shape, Im just worried for her that's all" She gave a deceitful smile, Goyle glanced at her and shook his head, knowing her lie.

Rhiannon fought the urge to look at him, his icy blonde hair, his perfect jawline, the beauty mark that was placed right by his eyebrow and the thing he did with his eyebrows when he was confused. She noticed everything about him when she was close enough to see those odd features of his, he was perfect. The way he touched her hand and always did that thing with his thumb, the way his eyes softened when he looks at her, he made her feel so weak but in a good way, soft and safe, protected but free, there were so many things she loved about him but she couldn't show him. She wanted to just walk over there and tell him and embrace him but, well then there would be issues. It angered her they had to a secret, it would keep them safe though. She glanced over to his table and Pansy was there, sitting right next to him, drooling all over him. She just wanted kill her, jelously rushed through her body, she hated her for everything, her perfect body and hair, the way her dimples show when she smiled, just everything about her was perfect, maybe he was better off with her. Her eyes found a pair of silver ones, Draco looked over at her with a desprate smile, trying to get her to understand how sorry he must be, she couldn't take it. She knew he lied to her last night about how nothing happened when he was taken, she could smell the lies pouring out of him, he wasn't a very good liar. She wanted him to come to her, she wont chase him. He fucked up, not her.
