Who am I? [Harry Potter fanfic]

Chapter 3

After standing shocked for almost a minute Draco took a step towards me. I did the only thing that seemed natural. I thew a fit. I started yelling and throwing things, it wasn't pretty. "Get out Draco! Get out of my room, get out of life. I don't want you here." I yelled at him throwing a pair of heals at him. They struck him in the temple and he crumpled to the ground. "Crap!" I muttered as I walked over to him slowly. I sat down on the ground next to his unconscious body. I rolled him over and gasped at the huge purple bump on his head and the blood gushing from it. I stood up grabbing him under the and and tried dragging him over to my bed. I struggled and pulled and pushed and finally got him on my bed. "Dang that boy is heavy." making my way intothe bathroom and i prepared a damp towel. pullinga chair over to my bed I say down and began cleaning the gash on his head. When the bleeding stopped I sighed and leaned back in the chair closing my eyes. A few seconds later a felt a surprisingly warm hand cover mine. I jerked my hand back and my eyes snapped open to see Draco sitting up in my bed looking at me. "Olivia, I-" his sentence was dropped as his head snapped to the side. I pulled my hand back to my side trying to hide the smile that came to my face. He looked back at me his hand on his cheek. "I probably deserved that." He said said sitting up and swinging his legs over the side of my bed. "Heck yeah you did!" I said standing up and folding my and over my chest. "I know,I know. I was jerk. I treated you horribly." He protested. "Why in the world did you treat me they way you did if you liked me like you say you do?" I said standing up and throwing my hand in the air for emphasis. "My father forbade it." He said hanging his head. "He-he what?" I asked sitting back down. "He told me that if I liked you that he would punish me, and sometimes he did." He closed his eyes and winced at the memories. I had the urge to reach out and comfort him. But I suppressed it when I saw the scar on my arm from when he sent every knife in the kitchen flying at me. "How does that excuse the years of torture you put me through?" I asked quietly. "It doesn't." He said looking into my eyes. "I know it doesn't, but I want the chance to make it up to you. I was young and stupid and I feared my father's cane more than I cherished the only potential friend I had the opportunity to have." He reached out and put his hand on mine. This time I didn't pull away, but I did flinch and curl my hand into a fist. He sighed and took his hand away. "I did that didn't I?" I looked and saw that he had tears running down his face. "Curse my compassionate heart." I said as I sat on the bed next to him. He chuckled as he looked at me. "So can we start over, please?" He asked holding my gaze with his icy blue eyes. "I'm going to regret this, but sure." I said sticking my hand out. "I'm Olivia Carter" he put his hand in mine. "And I'm Draco Malfoy." We smiled at each other our hands still together when the door to my room opened. I tried to stand up and pull my hand away, but Draco didn't let go and I fell over on top of him. I heard a gasp and looked up to see Jemima and Jared in the doorway. Jem looked surprised and Jared just looked pissed. He stormed off I pushed myself off of Draco. I smiled when I heard the huff of air that came out when I pushed off of his chest. We both started laughing as he sat up. I smacked his chest and he feigned being injured and fell back on the bed. Jemima coughed and my head snapped up to see her completely astonished face. My smile fell from my face and the good mood left me as I thought of how this must look to her. "Jem it's not what you think is." I protested "Like hell it's not. My gosh Olivia what's wrong with you. I send him up to apologize and I come in and find you guys snogging!" She almost screamed "you sent him here?!" I asked at the same time Draco said "we weren't snogging." We both looked at each other then at Jemima. She was standing by the door red faced. "Jem, you sent him up here?" I asked getting angry. "I, maybe, but I didn't know you guys would make ou-up, make up this fast." She said. "We weren't even kissing, I fell. My gosh I can't believe you!" I said exasperated "well I'm going to go. I'll see you guys at breakfast. Bye." Draco said running out of the room. I dropped to my bed and buried my face in my pillow. Jemima screamed angrily and throw something across the room that shattered against the wall. I heard her footsteps stomp into the bathroom and the door slam shut. When I heard the shower turn on I got up and grabbed a sweater and threw it on as I walked down the stairs to the common room. When I entered the room I sighed ad I curled up in a big soft chair by the fireplace. I guess I hadn't being paying enough attention because when the person in the chair next to me shifted I jumped and stifled a scream with my hands. When I saw that it was Jared I dropped my hands and let out a sigh. He didn't saw a word, didn't even show any signs of acknowledging the fact that I was there. I got up out of my chair and moved so that I was sitting on the arm of his chair. All he did was change his position so that he was more comfortable. I started playing with his hair like I used to when we were younger and it was storming outside and I was too scared to sleep by myself. I heard him sigh as he layed his head against my leg. "What's wrong Jer-bear?" I asked. He just chuckled. "It's nothing Olli." He said using the nickname he knew I hated. "Wait here a minute I have something for you." He said as he got up and ran to the stairs leading to the boys dorms. I waited patiently until he returned with a big wrapped box. "Ok what's with the box you know my birthday isn't until December." I said wearily. "I know,I know." He said. "This is a back to school gift from my dad. You know he's always loved you like a daughter." I opened the box to find two sleeping kittens. A black one and a tabby. "Awww, they're so adorable." I said. "I know, and dad says that they won't ever grow old they will stay this way forever and for until you pass away." He said. "Best present ever!" I exclaimed. I reached down and scratched the black one behind its ear. This is going to be an amazing year. I thought to myself before I fell asleep against Jared in the common room.
