A light knock echoed through the dorm as i just studied the same writing. After a while the door clicked open, footsteps walking near. "Soph?" His voice questioned as he started to walk to me, stopping when i turned and broke from my trance. My mouth hung open slightly, not sure whether to feel angry or sad. His face dropped when he saw mine, looking towards the desk with worry.
I open my mouth to speak, but stop myself. Worried I'd embarrass myself for actually being hopeful. I gulp lightly, picking up the 2 letters they've sent this whole term, 3 including the one i ripped up. Before crumpling them and throwing them into the bin. I scoff as i get up, grabbing a coat as i stand in front of Draco.
"Let's go out in the snow." I state giving him a slight smile as i look to the floor "it doesn't feel like Christmas" i mumble as i look at my feet. To be embarrassed with Draco was rare. So when he evaluated my face,the formal letters on the desk he knew I'd tell him when i needed to. He lightly nodded, turning to face the door as he wraps an arm around my shoulder. I rest my head on it lightly as we walk out.
...
"I wish it would snow everyday of the year" i let out a deep sigh as i lie completely back in the snow, my nose turning a light red at the cold. Draco scoffed lightly as he looked down at me, standing at his ridiculous thought of lying in snow. Buzzkill.
i lifted my head to look him in the eye, his hands gripped in his pockets as he smiles lightly at my love for snow. "It's Christmas." I state and he nods looking around casually, a little sigh leaving his lips. I sit up, hugging my knees to my chest as i look at the glistening snow in front of me.
"You know there only here because of the reputation." I let out as i look over the frozen lake, shivering lightly as Draco looks back at me. "It was in those letters i shove to the back of my drawer." I look down into my lap, crossing my legs as i fiddle with my hands. He stays silent, obviously knowing i needed to just talk.
"I- i knew it would be something like that. That they'd never think to just come visit me on Christmas. They just want everyone to think we're perfect." I sigh, my eyes watering slightly. A comfortable silence fills the air as Draco sits down beside me, leaning on his hands behind him as he stretches his legs out. A little symbol, he's sitting in the snow for me. To be there for me. I let out a deep aggravated sigh as i turn, laying my head on Dracos lap, looking up at him.
"I don't know why I'm disappointed...i should be so used to this by now" i scoff out as he lightly combs through my hair with his fingers. And after more of the silence he lightly clears his throat before starting. "You should be disappointed. You haven't seen them in a year and that was at a Malfoy Christmas party in front of a bunch of stuck up families." He scoffs, annoyed at the thought of my situation. It makes me think more, as i look up to his face, admiring my hair as he plays with it.
"You can be angry. Or upset. Or disappointed. You have a right." He informs me after some silence. My eyebrows furrow together in thought, as i sit up across from him. I gulp lightly, looking down as i rethink his words. His expression showed his annoyance, but i couldn't tell if it was for me or if he was relating it to our fight. Normally i always knew what he was thinking.
"You have the right to be you know?" I speak up, wincing at myself as i open up the fragile conversation. He furrows his eyebrows at me as i speak, me now realising he didn't try to connect the two conversations. I should have known he wouldn't switch my problems to his. I breathe in the cold air as i fiddle with snow, looking into his eyes as he waits for an explanation.
"You don't have to forgive me just because i needed you last night." I let out awkwardly, knowing this conversation was on line about the kiss. His jaw sharpened slightly, before he fell back into the snow with a sigh. I let out a small smile, seeing him relaxed in the snow as i waited for his next words.
"Why is life so fucking hard" he spits out annoyed and i let out a small agreeable smile as i lie down next to him. He lightly brags my hand beside him, stroking it with his thumb. I breathe in the cold air as i lightly close my eyes, noticing the light background noises of nature. Draco shuffled next to me and as i open my eyes, he's staring at me with an admirable look. "Can we just...pause. It's Christmas." He sighs as he looks into my eyes hopeful. The words bring a light to my eyes, my smile widening as i nod.
...
I had an amazing rest of the day, barely had to see my parents as they were busy doing god knows what. Pretending they were here for me. I spent the day laughing and hanging out with my friends, playing in the snow, making hot chocolates, and finally we just exchanged presents. A little tradition that brought a smile to my face. But i shivered as i was out in the cold, snowing air, watching at my parents carriage as someone put their luggage in. Just by the Hogwarts gates, snuggled in a coat as i watch them turn back to me.
Outside was pitch black. The thought of walking back up the castle on my own made me shiver. But they didn't care, they only did about themselves. My mother giving me a light smile, still in her weird mood but a fake tone on her as the carriage servants were around. Never being able to be normal if there was anyone around.
She took some steps closer to me, a smile on her face as she looked over me before evaluation my face. Her hand lifted to my face as she squinted her eyes. "Sophia you have dark circles. If you're not sleeping at least put some concealer on." She spoke up in a fake tone. "Too busy partying all night probably" my father mumbled from behind her as he cleared his throat. My head snapped to him as he spoke up, my self control slowly slipping as away Lucretia ignored his comment.
"You know i was raped." I say casually, my eyes watering slightly. Accepted the fact but not how they would react. That's what made me upset. "Then manipulated by him for a week. I've been through hell and you both just show up here because we're this perfect family even though i haven't seen you in a year. And even after i woke up drugged and injured in the corner of a random hallway and was scarred all i thought was i couldn't go running to anyone. You would pay them off and protect our family name more than me." I say through gritted teeth as they both stare at me in shock. They stood there in silence for a moment, before my mother cleared her throat and do exactly what i expected her to do. Act like i didn't say anything.
"It's late you should get back. We'll write a later when were back" she nodded lightly about to turn around when i raised my voice. "I was raped! I was raped and you don't give-
The interruption left silence hanging in the air. Nothing but the sound of the slap and the sting of my cheek, my face facing the side as i looked to the floor. "You inconsiderate spoilt girl! Keep your voice down." My mother sternly instructed as i looked into her eyes, wanting to hex her with my eyes. "You need to learn what a privilege it is to be a Diamond!" My father yelled next to her as he looked back at the carriage, the servants awaiting in the front. I smacked my lips together to stop me from doing anything i would regret. Lightly nodding to the floor.
After a moment of silence a little bag was in front of me, i lightly took it from my father. My eyebrows furrowing, they'd never got me a Christmas gift. Said being a Diamond was enough. He rolled his eyes as he looked at me. "It's for Draco. Now we'll see you soon" he said as they both turned towards the carriage. "Doubt it" i mutter under my breath as i breathe in lightly. The only noise is my mother lightly muttering.
"We're going to have to pay off these idiotic servants now."
And as i watched there carriage go off, my hands shoved in my pocket. My fingers held something, as i pulled out a bag of weed from my pocket, just what i needed.
