Girl With One Eye (Draco Malfoy Love Story)

part 5

It was time to go back to school and i couldnt wait....unfortunatly however my brother and i were trapped in our rooms, "if you try to so much as escape ill....get that dog put down!" I held Axel tightly, my mysterious friend D.L.M had been trying to send me letters recently however i could only pass a letter to the unfamiliar owl with a brief explantion of why i was not replying and my circumstances. It was late one night when i heard the security gates on both mine and harrys windows being yanked off, my eyes opened with a start and i quickly jumped to my feet before doing my best to baracade the door, my uncle more than likely forgot i was here again, i had been practicing my magic and had mamaged to pack all of my stuff into a backpack which i always kept by my bed, Midnight was hidden under my jumper and axel too, i slinked over to see them fighting to get harry to stay with them, they finally yanked him in and drove away...i was left behind. I waited for him to leave till i heard him coming up the stairs, i climbed down the side of the house using a drain pipe and hid as i heard him seach my room and look out the window. I wrote a quick message to harry telling him where i was and sent Midnight to carry it, i walked around the area waiting but i still found nothing, with a deep sigh i waited at the playground, morning broke and still no sign, i rested on the bench for a while longer feeling the cold encase me more till i heard a car pull up, opening my eyes i seen it was the lady from the station "oh love! You poor thing your chilled to the bone!" Mrs weasley exclaimed as she ushered me into the car "those boys ... stealing the car then forgetting you at that dreadful house" she muttered to herself tutting "thank you mrs weasley...im sorry for any trouble." "Nonesense dear now you just warm up and ill get you back to our house and get you something to eat" i settled back onto the seat and found myself drifting to sleep in no time. A strange dream flooded my subconscious mind, i was running after rons sister Ginny, she went into the girls toilets and was clutching something....the scene vanished and i was suddenly faced with a large snake.... a basilisk. It stared deep into my eyes saying something i couldnt make out before its eyes glowed brightly and i found myself petrified. I awoke with a start finding we had arrived at the weasleys home, i exited the car with mrs weasley and followed her up the path "erm....mrs weasley? Are you sure its okay for me to be here...i... i understand how the students feel about slytherins" i looked down as she whipped her head around, i expected her to shun me like so many others already had but she only chuckled "just cause your in slytherin doesnt mean your one of the bad ones... you can paint everyone with the same brush dear" i looked to her with hopeful eyes only to find the loving warmth of a mother, she lead me inside to the kitchen where she began to make breakfast, i placed down my bag and freed Axel from the confines of my jumper, he rested on my head as alway and  asked mrs weasley if i could help her prepare the food, she seemed slightly taken aback but happily agreed, we joked and laughed as we exchanged cooking storys and food ideas until it was time for the boys to eat. The weasley family dashed downstairs to find the table filled "Tia! Oh thank god!" Harry hugged me tightly "haz...cant.......breath" i struggeled only to be released moments later, i greedily puffed for air, the twins seemed unusually quiet around me but that was probably because "boys, even if shes a slytherin she wasnt there by her own choice.....give her a chance" "its okay mrs weasley they dont have to" they exchanged a glance as i approached them, "im glad to see your both safe...thank you for taking my brother away from there and saving him" they seemed to be just staring at ne for a moment before, fred smiled "you know we think-" "maybe you broke these" they spoke for eachother like they did that day i met them, i touched the glass feeling a crack on the edge "shoot..." they chuckled and ruffled my messy hair like they would Rons or Ginnys. "Thanks for the food mum" they all said save for me and Harry, "Celestia help me cook it so dig in while it's hot" they said their thanks and we began to eat, i found it cute how flustered Ginny got around my brother 'i ship it' i thought contently as i looked at them. Mr weasley entered the house sitting next to harry, i looked around the table feeling a fantastic warmth as i looked at how a family should be, i realised i had been so dazed and out of it that i hadnt realised that breakfast was iver "Celestia! Come on we cant be kate sweetheart" i downed the last of the orange juice and grabbed an apple before running out the door after the red haired family. The journey there was uneventful, as was the trip onto the train however....my brother and ron were nowhere in sight, thinking we had been seperated i began to panic until i caught sight of Hermione, we sat together thinking the boys had sat elsewhere since it was busier than normal thanks to new first years. "Hows the little man doing?" She asked gesturing to the little pup resting on my head "hes doing amazing, his wings got a bit bigger and hes definitely heavier.....ill have neck muscles like the hulk at this rate..." she laughed loudly at my joke only to laugh harder as Axel swatted me in the mouth with his tail leaving me to splutter on dog hair. We spoke about girly things and diffetent books and charms we'd been practicing, but all too soon we were told to change into our robes, "well chat more later?" She asked hopefully to which i eagerly agreed as we made our way into the schools before seating ourselves at our respected tables to welcome the first years...or in our case make their first year hell by messing with them, a shy boy was placed in slytherin...Levi i believe his name was, they cheered and heckled him as he walked over, i waved to him and smiled making him shy away from my gaze but sit across from me none the less "hello Levi Im Celestia" "p-pleathure to meet you" he had a small lisp that was adorable "well Levi i must say the pleasure is all mine...cookie?" I held out ine of thw cookies myself and mrs weasley had made that morning and he greatfully accepted "t-t-thankth" "no problem.. you remind me of my brother when we were little...anyone gives you any trouble ill have a word wih them okay?" He nodded enthusiastically seemigly brighter about his placement, soon i was surrounded by a few first years....five i believe. I could hear the kids in my year chattering about how weird i was to talk to them and treat them nicely but i only smiled till pansy kicked one of them under the table before telling me clearly i was a weirdo for, and i quote "being so nice to complete strangers, and taking them under your wing like something special when all you are is a half blind dog only around to protect your precious brother" to which my reply may have set her off "i feel truy sorry for people like you pansy...things must either be very hard at home or you must not have felt much kindness in your time" before i knew it she was going crazy and i still didnt have even the foggiest but she lunged across the table at me, professor snape seemed to appear from nowhere and pulled her back "Miss Parkinson! Miss Potter! My office now!" We followed snape quietly and sure enough snape said i had said and done nothing provoking the pug faced girl, i skipped from the office happily to the common room only to be pulled aside by none other than the infamous Malfoy "potter" "Malfoy" "i was...wondering if you were okay?" "Of course!" I chirped only for him to sigh "i... want you to be careful in the halls by yourself okay?" I cocked an eyebrow suspiciously at the boy "or at least carry a mirror with you or something... girls do that right?" "What do you know Malfoy?" "Nothing I'm just saying be careful..." i shrugged it off as nothing and we bith walked back to the dorm together "cookie?" I offered trying to break the silence "oh..thanks" he bit into one and his eyes instantly widened "are they....that bad? I made them myself but i cant cook with magic yet so...im afraid its just muggle baking really" "you made these without magic?" "Look if their bad then-" "no no theyre good... really good" he quickly scoffed the rest down, i couldnt help but giggle as some crumbs littered the corner of his mouth, i tugged his arm softly making him pause as i used my thumb to wipe them away "really Malfoy for a prince of Slytherin you sure are messy" we chuckled, just before we entered i couldnt help but ask curiously "Malfoy...?" "Hm?" "What are we?" "....what do you mean?" "I mean...are we friends? Or are we just....i dont know..." "........i'd class you as a friend...a good one... that can cook really well....those cookie were good" he went off into his own little daze making me laugh again "im happy to know i have at least one friend in Slytherin....thank you" we smiled to one another before entering and parting ways, 'i have a friend....and its my brothers enemie..' i shook the unnerving thought from my mind and went about my business. Then the true pain of what had occurred earlier struck me to my heart, i was left behind...my brother would have left me there with that tourtureously small prison...they would have forgotten to feed me to so i would have died.....and pansy said the only reason i lived was to protect Harry....is that really all i was here for? That aching need to relieve the pain washed over me nearly drowning me as i looked down the my wrist band. I took deep breaths as i concentrated and raised my wand to my wrist "Lacero" with quick arching motions i allowed the spell to cut into my wrist, once it was over i only watched the ruby blood flow from the fresh lacerations, my mind was filled with many questions that left me dizzying myself with a dashing hoping to find answers but alas....i never found any. After wrapping my wrists and covering them with the wrist bands i got changed for bed, Axel was whimpering as he gazed at me with those beautiful galatic eyes, i smiled reassuringly to him and opened my arms to him allowing him into the bed with me, his soft white fur providing some comfort as one of his tiny wings tried to lay over me, i wrapped my arm around him and wished that my dreams could take me away from reality to a place i could feel happy and where i belonged... but it seems my dreams had other plans for me.
