Befriending the Enemy

She's mine.

"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend."~*

Draco POV:

''What the fuck was I doing?" - I asked myself after waking up on the common room floor. I reached towards my cheek to touch the ghastly bruise Harry left on my face after punching me, all for calling my sister a slut. Excellent.

I have an enormous bruise, just in time for parent's weekend.

''Draco.'' - Blaise said, ''Get up, you sick bloke.'' I wasn't completely aware that he was the only one in the common room. ''What the fuck- why is everyone here?''

''Maybe because it's eleven AM on a Saturday morning.'' - Pansy added. ''And you two couldn't bear to take me to my room?''

''Nah. This is funnier.'' - Blaise laughed. ''Hey, what's up with your face? I wouldn't think your father would like to see you with a hickey, would he?''

''It's clear you've never been given a hickey, Blaise. He was clearly punched. But that's a ginourmous bruise. Who did you fight, Draco?'' - Pansy said. ''Uh-'' - embarrased, I decided to lie, ''just a seventh-year. He was messing with Dan.''

''Oh my god, Draco. Stop fighting people for her! She needs to learn how to do it herself.'' - Pansy said, annoyed. ''It's best he fought for her. Do you see that massive bump?'' - Blaise said.

"Whatever. I'm going to go meet with my father." - I said. "I should probably do the same," - Blaise said, "if she showed up."

"Mum." - I said as I saw my mom talking to some other parents. "Hi Draco. Your father couldn't make it he-"

"I don't care what he had to do. First, I can't come home for Christmas. Now, he doesn't even bother to show up?" - I said, pissed off. "Yes, I'm sorry. I'm sure he'll make it up to you." - My mother said. "No he won't. He never does. But it's okay. I'll be fine. I'm not a child anymore."

My POV:

"Mum!" - I screamed in joy. "I missed you!"

"Yes, I also missed you Didi." - she said, hugging me. "May I meet some of your friends? Perhaps from your own house and not your brother's? You know I don't mind."

"Yeah sure..." - I said as I grabbed Mione's arm. "This is Hermione. Then over there is Fred, Ron, George... and not from my house, but Maria, Mattheo-"

''Yes, of course, Mattheo. How could I not know him...''

''Mum, he lives with his girlfriend, Maria. He's trying his best to not be associated with Tom...'' - I told her. ''Yes, I know. Just be careful.''

''Anyways, there's Raighleigh, Harry, Ava-''

''Harry? Harry Potter? You're friends with Harry Potter? How come I never knew?'' - Mum asked. ''You never asked.''

''Look, I know it may seem I am against him, but he doesn't deserve any of the torture he is receiving. I was young when I joined... I met your father, and I knew I wanted to marry him, so I stayed. Now I can't leave. But not everything that came out of it was horrible, I mean, look at you! And Draco!''

''Well, yeah. Those are my friends.''

''Oh yeah, of course, Cassie.'' - I said pointing at her. ''Wow. She's very pretty.''

After showing her my room, with my bed made for the first time since the first day of school, we headed down to the activities they had. They had a little fair for us, which they would be extending to a way bigger when they left, to avoid lawsuits.
