“Did you hear?” Bella asked as I approached her later that day after classes were over.

I raised an eyebrow up at her. “What?”

“Robbie punched Draco! They were fighting over you, and I heard that Malfoy won, which isn’t all that unbelievable. You know what I mean? You should know more than anyone what a scrawny kid Robbie is,” she said so fast, that I quite didn’t catch it all, but nodded anyway.

“Really? That’s a bit odd because Robbie doesn’t fight. He told me that he never would, that it never really solves anything. Why would he just break down and hit Draco for?”

This sounded very odd, especially to me, because Robbie doesn’t even think about fighting. I was totally sure that he didn’t think it up on his own. He had to have somebody else suggest it or convince him to actually do it. My Robbie would’ve never done anything to anyone. He was non-violent, something I always loved about him. The only question was: who talked him into it?

“I know, right? It seemed a bit funny to me too when I heard it from Parvati who heard it from Padma who heard it from Cho who heard it from Justin who heard it from Crabbe and Goyle,” she paused for a moment. “Wait, did I just say that right?”

I shook my head. “It doesn’t matter. We’ll find out what really happened between the two later. I’m not worried about it.”

“Parvati also said that Robbie could’ve done it because he was jealous that you were with someone else for a change, which I think is a very good point. He seemed jealous to me when you told him that you met him. I mean, really? Can anyone compare to the sex god of Slytherin?”

I smiled. “No. No one can.”

It was the truth. No one could ever compare to Draco. He captured my heart from the moment I met him. I didn’t want to admit it, but I did fall in love with him when I looked into his eyes for the first time. It was nothing like when I met Robbie or when I was going out with him. When I was with Robbie, the magic of the relationship seemed to die fairly fast, but with Draco, I wake up with a smile on my face every morning and get butterflies in my tummy every time I see his face. We’re meant to be. Always and forever.

I AM ABSOLUTLY AND POSITIVLY HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH DRACO MALFOY, and I hope that this simple fact never changes. No matter what happens or is said or is done. Even if he finds out that I’m muggleborn, he’ll still love me. I know that it won’t change my mind. I know the real Draco Malfoy. At least, I’m pretty sure I do. I hope I do.

“Do you want to sleep over in my dorm tonight? It would be terribly fun since the Hogsmeade trip is tomorrow. We could decide what we’re both wearing. What do you say?” she smiled at me.

I nodded. Bella always knew exactly what I needed. I hadn’t been spending that much time between Draco and her flitting off to her mystery guy.It was time to catch up. A lot. We were walking up to the dorms from our last class. It was almost time for dinner, which I was starving for.

“Hanna?”

I looked over to see Robbie walking down from the boys’ dorms. He had a sheepish look and his face. I gave my things to Bella and with a nod, she left us be. He slowly approached me like a dog with its tail between its legs that was about to be punished. So the rumors were true?

“So, you’ve heard?” he asked, not looking at me.

I put a hand on my hip. “So, they’re true?”

His head sprang up and his eyes met mine. “Not totally true. I did punch him but-“

“You really did punch him? But I thought-“

“I know. I wasn’t going to do it. Yes, I was jealous, but there was also this sad, beautiful girl there who said that it would get you back and it would also get her Draco back, so I thought it would help the both of us. Besides, we were about to get back together in the beginning of the year, so tech-“

“No, we weren’t. You just assumed that we would get back together, but Robbie, it wasn’t going to happen even if I didn’t meet Draco. I just wasn’t feeling it anymore like you were. I was growing tired of coming back to you when the true feelings were just what were going on the first day. Those feelings never did come back every time we got back together last year. Besides, you kept dumping me when you liked another girl, and when it didn’t work out, you would come crawling back. I’m not your go-to girl anymore.”

“Go-to girl? You were never that. I truly love you that’s why I kept coming back because I would feel foolish for giving you up. We belong together, Hans.”

I shook my head and backed up when he reached out for me. “No, we don’t. I’ve been with Draco for a month now and everyday feels like the first. The magic hasn’t left the relationship yet. If we belonged together, then tell me why the intense emotion faded out so fast with us? Huh? Do you have an answer for that?”

I looked away from me and down at his feet. He didn’t have an answer, and he knew it too. I knew him too well, much better than he thinks I do. I took a step closer and put my hand on his shoulder. His head jerked up and his eyes met mine once more.

“Robbie,” I said with a sigh. “You’ll find someone. Someone you won’t feel like leaving. Someone who you love unconditionally and will every single day of your life. I promise. She’s not me though. You have to believe me now, right?”

He nodded.

“Good.” I turned to walk away, but then remembered him saying something about a girl telling him to deck Draco. “Oh, and Robbie? Who was the girl that you talked to before the fight?”

“Pansy,” he said. “Pansy Parkinson.”

That bitch. She convinced Robbie to do something that he really didn’t want to do in the first place. She said she would get me, and she’s trying to do as she promised. Well, now that I know, I’m going to be prepared. I just have to tip Draco off first.
