"Lies" [Draco Malfoy Fanfiction]

Chapter 22

Narrator

"Miss Thomson, could you please stay a bit? I really need to talk to you", Lydia turned heel and faced Slughorn. For a moment, only for a few seconds, she saw Malfoys sadness behind his platinum hair. When she noticed that she was staring at him she remembered all the things that made her mad about him and pushed her thoughts aside and played with her hair, like she always did when she was nervous. And this time she had a good reason for it, the professor of her worst class wanted to talk to her.  "Why does he want to talk to me? Have I done something bad? Or does he only want to invite me to another party?", 

The time passed slowly and the ticking clock didn't make it easier for Lydia. "Just breathe in... and out... in and out", she had closed her eyes and started talking to herself, in her mind of course. Possible Scenarios had been on replay in her mind, starting with a very calm Slughorn and ending with a murdering one. Nobody knew if he was a Deatheater it would have been possible.

As the last students left the room, Slughorn stood up from his stool and made his way towards Lydia, whose heart was beating so loud she could swear Slughorn heard it. "Miss Thomson, you are probably wondering why I wanted you to stay.", oh yeah, she was wondering, "you might also be scared, but there's nothing to be scared of.". He paused and pointed with a big gesture on Lydia's chest, " I always see a broken heart and this one is definitely shattered in pieces, that's why you wrote this song, it was a real story. Don't you want to tell me more about the relationship this was about?".

"There is or was no relationship", she mumbled and immediately thought about how this was a total lie. Suddenly she knew that every single word in this song described her relationship she had with Draco. He heard the song, he knew it was about him bu that wasn't the worst part for Lydia, she broke her promise. 

"Oh I am sorry, but I think we both know that isn't true! But what I really wanted to talk about is, that you should join Professor Flitwick's Choir. "

" I don't sing for people or with people. I do this for myself, not for everybody! I am so sorry but no."

She left a clueless Slughorn in his classroom all alone without saying goodbye. Of course, she knew that she had been very rude but there was just too much to process and she couldn't decide anything that would have an impact on her future. What she didn't know was that she would do something in the next six hours, minutes, seconds that would change her future forever...

The time until Dinner passed slowly and somehow she saw Draco everywhere she went, was he following her?  Or was her mind playing games with her? was she slowly becoming mad and crazy, like all the people who have committed suicide or the ones who have killed men, women and kids to satisfice themselves.

"Get your mind back together Lydia, you can do this!"

Before she could enter the great hall she bumped into her old friends, each one of them had a caring smile on their faces and didn't sneer like they used to. "We are so sorry, we didn't know that you would have a broken heart", they said in sync, whispering the last part. "Look, Lydia, as much as we did not support your relationship with...", Ginny stopped and look at any sign Lydia could have given her not to speak out his name, but there was nothing just a cold look on Lydia's face. She wanted to be friends again but she could not break her own promise, not again. "His name is Draco, he might be very mean and annoying, but he is not You-Know-Who. Be mad at me for not telling you, but you don't know mine and his story. Even though you have been correct, don't judge a book by its cover"

Lydia turned heavy-hearty away and as much as she wanted to tell them what happened that day he came into the store and broke her heart into million pieces that didn't recover until then, she couldn't do it. And she would have never told them what really happened if Ginny would have grabbed her hand and pulled her on the one and Hermione on the other hand to an empty classroom.
