The Dark Side

Stay Away From My Boyfriend

Zoey's POV
A man in a cloak runs into our room. "I love you my babies," mum whispers to us. The man yells something loud and a green light shoots towards my mum and she falls to the ground with a loud thud. Harry and I burst into tears

I wake up and scream. Hermione and Ginny walk over to me and calm me down. Just 2 days ago the boys saved us from those men. Ever since then I've been having this dream. The flashback of when my parents died. I get up and get ready since I won't be able to go back to sleep anyway. I walk silently in the invisibility cloak that Harry and I share to the Slytherin common room. When I get there I hear soft sobs. I take off the cloak when I realise it's Draco and I sit next to him. "What are you doing here babe?" He asks wiping his eyes. I ignore him and just wrap my arms around his neck and pull him in for a hug. His hands claw at my back and he sobs into my shoulder. "Tell me why you are crying Draco," I say. "No I-" "Tell me why you are crying," I say again. "I hate myself for letting people do that to you," he says. He grabs my arm and inspects his own name that is carved into my flesh. "I would never hurt you baby," he says. That nickname gave me a warm feeling. He wraps his arms around me again. I kiss his cheek softly. ""It wasn't your fault blondie," I say running my hands through his soft blonde hair. He places a kiss on my jawline and then I hear him sob a few more times into my neck. "But I wasn't with you, that will always hurt me," he cries. "I will never blame you for that Draco," I say and he smiles. "I love you," he says pressing his lips to mine. "I love you too," I reply. I look at his features closely for the first time. He still has an evil look in his eye that scares me. I know he's not just going to turn good because of me. I know that. Sometimes I see him beating on Gryffindors and other houses and it kills me. "You have to get to sleep," he says. "Nooo," I whine, curling up on his lap. When his arm wraps around me I see it again. The black skull and snake that it etched into his skin. I start crying as quietly as possible but obviously my sadness took over and he sat back and looked at me. "Why?" I say. "What?" He asks. "Why did you let him do this to you?" I say grabbing his arm like he had done before. "He chose me to do something, something I can't talk to you about. He didn't give me a choice. Everyone thinks I'm The Boy Who Made All The Wrong Choices but in reality I'm The Boy Who Never Had A Choice. You're the first person that's ever seen that side of me," he says wiping a tear away from his face. I am still full on sobbing. He suddenly gets frustrated and he rips off his cloak and sweater. He pulls me in for a hug so tight it's like he's holding onto me for dear life. I feel my shirt getting drenched but in this moment I couldn't care less. I love this man and we both deserve to be happy for a little while. After a minute we pull apart when the sun comes up. "What can't you talk to me about?" I ask. "Uhh- oh look Pansy is here let's talk about that!" He yells. I look and see Pansy Parkinson. She grimaces at me while holding her broken nose. I smirk. She comes over to us and pushes me off of Draco's lap. She kicks me in the stomach. She sits next to him and flirts with him as I lie on the ground listening to Draco's pleads to get away from him. "So I won again today, I completely floored this one girl an-" "shut up Pansy!" He yells. I hear a thud and then footsteps towards me. I grab my stomachs as Draco helps me up. He pulls up my shirt and sees the already half-formed bruise. I pull it back down self consciously and he looks at Pansy lying on the ground. "You didn't hit her did you?" I ask. "No I just pushed her off me," he says. I walk over to her. I hold out my hand. She looks at it then takes it to get up. I start to walk away then I quickly turn around and slap her across the face. "Stay away from my boyfriend," I say. Draco looks at me, clearly surprised at my actions. I surprised even myself. I'm a Gryffindor, I don't do that. I guess Draco is making me different. For better or worse I wonder? I take Draco's hand in mine and we walk to the Great Hall for breakfast. "Good hit," he says. "Thanks," I mumble sheepishly. After breakfast Harry runs up to me and he hugs me tightly. "Little sis, I have news," he says. I roll my eyes. "I'm younger by three minutes get over it!" I say. "Malfoy is a death eater," he whispers. "I know," I whisper back. "And you still want to be with him?" He asks. "Yeah," I say thoughtfully looking at my boyfriend laughing across the hall. "Wow, what you guys have is real," he says. I nod. I want so badly to tell him what Draco told me but I have to keep that secret to myself. I wish Harry saw the side of Draco that I do. I had no idea at this time that only tomorrow night would change all of Hogwarts students forever...
