Someone to save me | Harry Potter

Chapter Sixteen

I didn't know what to say to him.I didn't know if I should run after Harry who had stormed off down the corridor leaving me behind. I stood glued to my spot and suddenly  wondered why I even cared what he thought. Harry did make it clear he only liked me as a friend, even if he never said it out loud. But I know dating his enemy was going to put a dent in our friendship. I looked behind me to the handsome blonde who looked confused and raised his eyebrows expecting me to sit back down, and I glanced back to where the awkward raven haired boy took off running.

I made my choice saying yes to being Draco's girlfriend, but at what cost? So I sat back down and faced the decisions I made just like I have always done. "What was that about?" Draco asked slipping his cold  hand back into mine. I just shrugged, staring off in the distance where Harry last stood.

 "He wont be happy." I mumbled more to myself than answering his question.

 "Potter will get over it." Draco with a shrug of his shoulders.

Draco walked me back to Gryffindor tower kissed me goodnight and headed back to the dungeons to his own dorm. When I walked inside it was quite crowded, Seamus and Dean were playing wizards chess by the window. Fred and George were trying to get a group of first and second years to buy their products, Lee was beside them snickering over someone with puss filled boils covering their face. Hermione and Ron were on the couch talking about something, and Harry of course like normal was sitting on the floor facing the fireplace. 

"Hi guys." I said softly walking up behind them. Hermione looked up and smiled and Ron did the same, Harry must not have told them what he say yet.

 "Harry I—" I started to say, but was cut off when he jumped up and held up his hand.

 "Don't Ali.How could you do that?" He asked quietly, and I noticed several conversations around us stopped to look towards us.

 "Harry, you knew that was bound to happen." I said trying to reason with him.

 "NO! the one person in the entire school that none of us can stand, and you decide to become an item with him." Harry practically sneered. It was like the yule ball all over again where they were yelling at me for fraternizing with the enemy.

"Harry, whats wrong?" Ron asked coming to stand beside him.

 "Harry, you were too stupid to see that you were the one I wanted to go to the ball with!" I said my voice getting louder with every word, and the common room was dangerously silent all of a sudden. A look of confusion laced with worry flashed across Harry's face before his head sunk to the floor.

 "Whats wrong Ali?" Fred and George said together as they were now standing on either side of me. 

"Harry is mad that I'm dating Draco, but that wouldn't have happened if Harry plucked up the courage to ask me to the ball himself!" I said feeling tears roll down my cheeks. I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders and one around my waist, and I knew it was the twins again. They seemed to take me under their wing as another little sister since they started dating mine. 

 Harry wouldn't look at me, he just looked down at his worn grey converse sneakers. I saw Ron nudge him in the arm and whisper something I couldn't hear, But Harry just wouldn't say anything to me and that made my tears fall harder.

"I hate you for making me cry, Harry." I whispered and took off running up to my dorm. I slammed the door behind me and fell face first onto my bed and pulled the curtains shut around me. I didn't even know truly why i was crying, must be stupid teenage girl hormones, which I was definitely not used to. My curtains were shoved open and I felt my bed dip slightly as someone sat on the edge of it. It had to be either Hermione or Ginny, as I knew Lavender and Parvatti didn't give two shits about me crying.
