Slytherin Lover

Third Year: He Likes You

Weeks have passed, and Draco is already out of the hospital wing. Yet he hasn't spoken a word to you. Not a single one. He hasn't been nice to you, like he was the day he was 'attacked' by Buckbeak, but he hasn't been mean to you either, like he normally is. It even seemed as if he is was avoiding you, and it annoyed you to the bone. Weeks ago, you would've been happy if Draco ignored you, but right now, it drives you mad.

You have Defense Against the Dark Arts right now, together with Draco. He is standing behind you. But you can do the exact same thing as he does: ignoring him. You listen to professor Lupin, but Draco, Crabbe and Goyle continue to talk quietly with each other even though the professor has started his class almost half an hour ago, and it annoys you even more.
"Relax, Blanche", Ernie suddenly says, who's standing next to you.
"What do you mean, relax ? I am relaxed, Ernie."
"No, you're not."
"Why don't you give me a reason why you think I'm not relaxed !" You spat at him. Professor Lupin suddenly asks you to keep quiet. Everyone's staring at you because you've practically just yelled at your best friend.
"I'm sorry", you say quietly once the professor has started talking again. "I didn't mean to yell at you."
Ernie gives you a smile and tells you it's okay.
"But that right there was your reason", Ernie says. "And you've folded your hands into fists."
You immediately relax your hands as you notice that your hands were indeed folded into fists. You remain quiet and pay no attention to Draco, as far as you can, and start listening to the professor. He's explaining something about boggarts, and that you need to say the spell 'Ridikkulus' if you want to change your boggart into something you like, so that you won't be afraid of it anymore.
"This class is ridiculous", you hear Draco say. You can't help yourself and turn around. You don't know what's getting over you all of the sudden, but every tiny thing is annoying you, especially if it has something to do with Draco Malfoy.
"Can you please shut up ?" You ask Draco. He starts smirking and his friends start laughing.
"Ms Lightwood", you suddenly hear the professor say. "Perhaps it's best if you leave this classroom now, since you have no intention to learn anything here."
You try to protest, but professor Lupin stops you.
"You can come back here after all your classes."
You sigh, get your bag, and do as the professor asks. Draco starts laughing as loud as he possible can.
"Perhaps, mr Malfoy, it's best if you follow ms Lightwood here."
Draco does protest, but he has no other choice but to leave the classroom just like you.

"Lightwood, we can at least enjoy ourselves now that we're both sent out of class."
You storm through the halls of Hogwarts, now knowing where you'll go, but anything will be better than to be with Draco.
"Lightwood, come on. We also have to serve in detention together later today. Why are you ignoring me ?"
You stop walking and turn around to finally face the Slytherin Prince.
"Ignore you ?" You ask, a tone of disbelief in your voice. "I'm the one who's ignoring you here ?" You point your finger at him and stare up into his eyes. "You've been ignoring me for weeks, Draco. I'm only giving you a taste of your own medicine."
You take your bag, that you had accidentally dropped on the floor, and turn back around. You enter the first girl's bathroom you pass, which happens to be Myrtle's bathroom.
"Hello, Blanche", you immediately hear Myrtle say. You smile softly at her.
"Hi, Myrtle."
"We haven't talked in a while, and last year we couldn't really talk because of the Chamber of Secrets, but I have to ask you something", Myrtle immediately starts.
"Sure, ask away", you nod.
"How's you and that boy ?"
You raise your eyebrow, but the moment you know who she's talking about, you sigh.
"Myrtle, I don't wanna-"
"Tell me, Blanche ! Tell me about him ! Is he handsome ?"
You sigh once again.
"There's nothing to tell. He's been ignoring me for weeks, but just now he wanted to talk with me, something like that. But Myrtle, I really don't want to talk about-"
"He's so into you !" Myrtle interrupts you.
"What ?"
"It's obvious, isn't it ? He ignores you, then wants to be with you when no one's around. There's no other explanation-"
"Myrtle !"
She immediately stops talking the moment you've raised your voice at her. Even though she's a ghost, she doesn't know when and how to keep quiet.
"I don't want to talk about Draco. You may think you're right, but you're not, trust me. You don't know him", you explain. You notice that Myrtle starts thinking.
"So.." she starts, "his name is Draco ?"
You roll with your eyes and make way for the exit of the bathroom.
"Goodbye, Myrtle."
She looks at you with her big, sad eyes.
"Sooner or later he will confess that he likes you, Blanche. I promise you."
You turn around one last time to look at Myrtle.
"But I don't want him to like me."
