The Evil child

14. You Already Are.

I finally caught up to Draco. He was in the Slytherin common room. I walked in and all eyes fall on me. Fear and anger. I've never felt so much in one room before. A few people started clearing out. The last girl to leave purposefully bumped into my shoulder. She jerked away and gasped "Please don't kill me dark one!" She sarcastically cried and laughed with a few friends and began walking away. I rolled my eyes.

Draco hasn't looked at me yet but after that there's no doubt about who's here. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Leave me alone." He mumbled. "Do you really want me to leave?" I asked. If he said yes, I'd go. He was sitting down on the couch crouched over. His hands were covering his face.

"No." He was crying. I walked over and sat next to him. I put a hand on his shoulder. "No one will remember this after the first challenge. Trust me. It'll blow over." I said supportively. He shook his head. "I'm sorry." He blurted. What? "Why?" I asked confused.

"I don't know why I act like that in front of other people. I don't want to act like that in front of you anymore." He admitted. I took his hands and uncovered his face. He looked at me. I've never noticed how beautiful his grey eyes are. "I know how you are Draco." I said trying to say it's okay. "What if I want to change?" He asked.

I held his hands. "Only you can change yourself Draco. Either way, we're friends. I made you a promise remember? We will always be friends." I said smiling. "I think you're changing me." He admitted. I'm changing him? "I think I want to be more like you. Brave. Loyal. Nice. I don't want to be like I am anymore, but I don't know how to change." He started sobbing.

"You already are." I said smiling. He sobbed and nodded. I pulled him into a hug and just let him cry.
