I Solemnly Swear

Back To Square One

Dumbledore had taken responsibility for our little club. He was now in trouble with the industry of magic but I'd worry about that later, as soon as we were allowed to leave I jetted up and ran through the halls to the Slytherin common room. As I walked in I immediately noticed platinum blonde hair sitting on the couch in front of the fire place "Draco!" He turned to reveal his disgusted face "get away from me!" I jumped at his harsh tone "Draco, please let me explain!" He began gathering his books "no! You're a Slytherin traitor! You're a traitor and you lied to me! I believed you Melanie.. And you lied right to my face. I thought you were one of the more decent people in this school but you're no better than Potter! You're filth, so stay away from me Crystaline, you're dead to me" in those last few words my whole heart came crashing down. I felt my eyes prickle with tears threatening to spill in the corners of my eyes "I.. I'm so sorry!" With that the sobbing began and I ran from the common room into my dorm, ignoring the watching eyes either judging me or sympathizing with me.

I jumped into my bed and let all my sobs out, from this moment on, I Melanie Crystaline will NEVER talk or associate with Harry Potter or any of his Gryffindor friends.

It may seem childish but nothing good comes from them.. Only trouble. Perhaps Draco was right all along, they're a waste and I shouldn't waste my breathe on them.. I know I'm just upset I don't blame Harry. I do blame Cho Chang though. She ratted us out the first moment someone becomes suspicious, I know others are mad at her for the same reason. She deserves it though.

I decided I'd just go outside for a while and calm myself down, though it wasn't working to well.. no matter how much I tried I couldn't get Draco's hurt expression off my mind. I knew i had hurt him.. I hurt him bad. "Melanie! Melanie come here for a sec!" I turned my head to the last voice I had wanted to hear Harry's. " No! please! just stay away from me!" I tried to muster up all the courage I could to stand up to him. "Mel? whats the matter?" I knew breaking off friendships with the Gryffindor's would prove little to nothing to Draco.. I'd simply end up alone.. Again. I sighed and tried to explain myself rationally "Harry, I'm sorry. I just can't do this anymore" his face showed obvious confusion "you can't do what anymore?" I sighed "this Harry! Associate with you right now. I know I'm sounding horrible right now but you don't understand what I've just lost from this..." Harry's face turned to something unreadable before his anger "what are you losing? You're not the one dealing with Voldemort! No, you're doing absolutely nothing! Because we don't invite you and you wanna know why? Because deep down you're a pure blooded Slytherin! You're just as mean as the rest of them! You just have a different way of going about your ways!" With that Harry turned and stormed off leaving me a shocked mess. I'm sure he didn't mean that.. It must've just been his bottled up stress and anger.

What am I to do now?
