FORBIDDEN LOVE

Ch 16 AN UNBELIEVABLE ACT

Almost two weeks had passed and we were at the end of phase two. Unfortunately, as February came Hagrid left Hogwarts and was on the run, he had thrown a Support Harry Potter Party in his hut. We just managed to escape before the Carrows find out that we were also there. We barely made it back to Gryffindor Tower that night. And Hagrid luckily had managed to run away. But things were starting to get even worse at Hogwarts and now without Hagrid, it was bound to get even worse. 

On another note, fake-dating Seamus was starting to make me feel better.

I don't think about Malfoy that much anymore.

I don't even glance at him.

I am acting as if he doesn't exist.

I only see him in class now.

Last week he even stopped coming to the Great Hall, he shows up rarely now.

Seamus, Neville, Ginny and I were having fun, even though sometimes it cost us detentions, and this implied the Cruciatus Curse with the Carrows. 

Seamus and I were walking to lunch, hand in hand when Crabbe and Goyle started bothering us.

"Oh well, look who is here, the lovely Gryffindor couple...." Goyle said maliciously. 

"Shut up and move!" Seamus snapped.

"What happens if I don't, and instead hurt your blood-traitor girlfriend to teach you a lesson" Goyle threatened.

"I want to see you try..." Seamus said taking his wand from his robes. 

We heard footsteps.

I spotted a blond head.

"Malfoy! Look what we have got here!" Crabbe shouted as Malfoy came closer, a smirk on his face. Clinging to his arm, his stupid fiancee.

"Well, well, well, a blood traitor and the filthy half-blood..." he said sneering. 

"What do you want?" I snapped angrily.

"Don't talk to my Draco like that, whore" the girl shouted with a shrilly voice. 

"Whore?" I asked incredulously.

"I saw you two snogging earlier this morning ..." she shouted proudly.

At this Malfoy froze, locking his gaze at me, and then at my hand interlaced with Seamus'.

"He's my boyfriend, you dumb-witted idiot!" I shouted back.

"Don't talk to me like that blood-traitor" she yelled and suddenly slapped me.

"Don't touch her!" Seamus pushed her, defending me.

I took a step forward and slapped her hard in the face.

"Don't touch me ever again" I threatened.

"Weasley!" the Carrow woman shouted.

Fantastic!

Of course, when I break the rules for the first time this term, she has to be around!

"She slapped me professor" Astoria cried.

"She slapped me first!" I yelled defensively.

"Did you?" Alecto Carrow asked Astoria.

"Of course not professor" she replied innocently.

"What?! Yes, you did, you liar! Tell--" I shouted.

"Enough! Detention Weasley!" 

"What? What about that bitch! It's not fair--" Seamus yelled.
