The slytherin prince and the Quiet Gryffindor

Chapter 7

"Elizabeth!" I hear a voice shout from behind me as I exit potions. I knew this conversation was going to come up but I had hoped to put it off a bit longer.
"Yes Richard." I say without turning to looking at him.
"How's it going babe? You didn't write me." He said while he put his arm around my shoulder.
I shrugged off his arm and said," I broke up with you last school year Richard, therefore I had no reason to write you, now if you'll excuse me." I tried to walk away when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.
"Now Elizabeth we both know you where only being overly emotional due to the stress of the war, you females tend to be quite daft in times of crisis. I'm willing to over look this little mishap of yours. Let's go to lunch." I tried to pull away but his grip was firm.
"Let go of me Richard. It was no mistake when I broke up with you. " I say trying once more to pull my hand away speaking as calmly as possible.
"Elizabeth, I suggest you put these silly thoughts of yours behind us let's-" he was unable to finish his sentence when we heard a voice behind us say, " I suggest that you walk away Richard." I turned around and stood face to face with Theodore, Richards grip loosened so I pulled my hand away. Richard simply looked between myself and Theodore then walked away. I watched him walk away then turned to Theodore prepared to thank him or explain myself or both but before I could do either he walked away.
After the confrontation I didn't feel much like going to lunch instead I headed to the library.

**** Theodore******
I should have just walked by, it was none of my business. But I felt like I owed her one, plus I couldn't stand that prat Richard anyway. I walked away before she could say anything. I didn't want to have to explain why I was being nice. In all honestly I didn't know, I just felt like I could be more honest around her, more me. I should probably stay away from her it's probably for the best. I need to find Draco anyway, I hadn't seen him for a while and I didn't like him being on his own for too long. I know he doesn't appreciate it but I feel like I need to keep an eye on him just in case. I walked all throughout the halls hoping to get at least a glimpse of Draco but he wasn't in any of his usual spots. I was about to give up when I saw him walk into the library.
