MUDBLOOD ➼ Draco Malfoy

5

Last night I was so exhausted that I fell asleep the second my head touched the soft fabric of my pillow. I remember being too tired to even think. I hope I can get by without doing my homework today, even though it was just to read a pointless section from a book.

While I was getting ready for another day, my mind was mainly focusing on how to avoid Draco in the common room area. I really didn't want to be made fun of today, or pushed around. So, I intend on pretending that he doesn't exist, hoping that he does the same.

Grabbing my bag from my nightstand beside of my bed, I swiftly exited my dorm room. When I arrived to the common room I was surprised to see Alex standing at the end of the hall, where he waits for me. I smiled and waved at him happily. Things were better now!? Had he gotten over what happened?

Alex gave a huge smile back, but it wasn't meant for me. It was for Anna Wizbin. Who had just now greeted him with an equally large smile. The blonde Slytherin girl that Alex had befriended before he knew me. Oh.

Alex didn't even notice I was there, and frankly I don't think that he would have even cared if he did know. Anna was smiling and already talking her head off to Alex, who was looking pretty happy as he smiled down at her, laughing at whatever it was she was saying. They both looked happy.

I quickly looked around the room to find out if anyone had saw what I did. My cheeks turn crimson red when I see Draco Malfoy's eyes on mine. He was planted on his usual chair as a guy with black hair spoke to him, I don't remember his name. When I looked at Draco, he didn't quickly look away, his eyes were glued to mine. And his face showed no emotion whatsoever. It's like he wasn't even listening the black haired guy.

I looked down to hide my furious blush and proceeded to walk past Alex and Anna.

"Hey, Victoria!" Anna smiled in my direction, expecting me to join in their little circle, but 'their loss' I didn't. I gave her a small smile and I walked away from them, on to my next class. And Draco saw all of it.

I can't believe that I thought for one moment that Alex wasn't frustrated with being in a relationship with me anymore. I'm an idiot! Who would ever go back to someone that had caused actual health damages to them?

Just like yesterday, I dragged through my classes the whole day alone. I earned various comments along the lines of;

"Hey Mudblood! Where's Perfect Percic at, huh? Did he run off after Draco almost killed him?"

Yes. People actually said that to me. But that was from the idiotic racist ones. The comments I got from almost everyone I encountered was the exact term, "You look alone."

Which I probably do! I am alone, but they don't have to point that out for me. I know.

I slumped down in my desk of the final class of the day. I should be relieved. But as soon as I am dismissed, I'm forced to proceed to the dreadful room Draco and I are ordered to stay in for the next day. At least its only one more.

I was instructed to turn to a certain page of my thick book by my teacher, and I did so. But I couldn't focus on what the pages say, because something caught my eye. Draco Malfoy was seated to the side of me, not saying a word. Just staring forward. He wasn't there before I sat down, I think.

I clear my throat to make him realize he had sat beside of me, so he could move or something. I'm sure he didn't intentionally sit near me, I don't think anyone sits near me on purpose. Draco then quickly darted his eyes at me, then back to his book to read the pages as we were instructed. I guess there weren't any other seats left. Great. Now I have to deal with his mouth.

But surprisingly, he didn't say anything.

We were told to read silently to ourselves the entire class period. Of course, I found that boring. And the subject doesn't benefit me in the slightest. I know for a fact it isn't going to be on a test, so I decide against cramming my head with the useless information. Besides, I was too distracted.

As I pretended to read, I found myself glancing at Draco every now and then. His lips were parted slightly, while he was unknowingly forming the words that he was reading, mouthing them. A strand of his hair has fallen over his face from his head being bent down.

Draco always seemed to go in a trance when he was reading. For a second I could have thought it was attractive, but it wouldn't matter anyway. I'm not going to say his personality makes him ugly or whatever, because surprisingly, I like his personality. I wouldn't have been friends with him in the first place if I didn't. It's his one fault I do hate that drove me away. The way he treated me like the dirt underneath his shoes as soon as he found out about me being a muggle born. My heart was torn to bits the day he turned on me. Because before that, he was the only person I cared about.
