In love with the badboy

Chapter 17 ~ Happy holidays ?

When Harry and I walked outside of Dumbledore’s office I linked my arm in his. He was telling my stories about his aunt and uncle…our aunt and uncle… and I was laughing with them. “I just can’t wait to meet them !”

“I am sure you can’t” the grin on Harry’s face was huge and he chuckled lightly. “They are the only ones though…I just wish you could have known Sirius, he would have liked you a lot !”

When talking about Sirius, his tone got slightly lower and his gaze was fixed at the floor. “He sounded wonderful” I assured Harry. “Please let’s forget about fighting earlier today though, I really don’t want you to be mad at me.”

“I’ll never approve of Malfoy playing with your feelings Alice. And before you go against me…he does…he probably needs something from you or he wouldn’t be nice to you.”

“I don’t know” I said, doubt clearly visible in my eyes. How easy everything would be if I could just believe Harry, if I could just stay away from Malfoy…but I couldn’t. Whenever I was with him I felt like he was being sincere. It could all be a façade though for all I knew.

“You are my sister, and I don’t want some prick hurting you” he said seriously.

When he referred to me as his sister a smile crept upon my face. “I am so happy right now” I told him truthfully, “Having a twin brother is so much better than being alone !”

After agreeing Harry pulled me into a bear hug. I started feeling emotional. Family, something I had never known, and something I had never thought I would ever know, was now happening.

“Well well, if it aren’t our two Potter lovebirds hugging each other.”

“Malfoy” Harry growled angrily and annoyed. Their eyes narrowed as they eyed each other. They seemed to be in a glaring contest so I guess I had to do the talking.

“What do you want ?” I asked Malfoy, “Or do you merely wish to annoy us ? Because if you do, I’d rather just walk away from you.”

“I just wanted to tell you that tomorrow at 8 o’clock you have a tutoring lesson Potter, the last one before the holidays. I wouldn’t talk to you losers if didn’t necessarily have to, I have more important things I need to handle.”

I wasn’t going to lie to myself, when Malfoy referred to me as a thing that needed to be handled, he hurt my feelings. But I pushed those feelings away, along with the thoughts that Malfoy looked hot and that I wouldn’t mind running my hands through his hair and… Yeah, those thoughts were putt away as well.

“More important things ?” Harry asked suspiciously. “What are you up to ?”

“You should be careful !” Malfoy spat. “Not you” he told Harry while rolling his eyes. “But you” he said, referring to me. “The stupid Potter. Your lover seems too interested in me, maybe he likes me more than he likes you.” He started laughing and gave Harry a smirk, as if to dare him.

Harry had a murderous look in his eyes and pulled out his wand. He started walking up to Malfoy but I stopped him with all my power. “He is just a git, leave him alone, I wouldn’t want to get us into trouble” I warned Harry.

“Yeah scarface, listen to the stupid one. For once she is right, keep your nose out of my business and stop following me.” He chuckled one more time and stalked away.

“I want to kill him” Harry said through gritted teeth.

“Getting you all worked up about it that’s the only thing he wants. Just don’t think about him… brother” I told Harry while giving him wink.
