~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During the next time Leona had prefect duties she asked Draco if he had kept his first promise. He seemed to be keeping the others, but the first one would be the hardest for him. When she first laid eyes on him, he looked paler than usual. He looked distant but she decided not to ask; he would tell her if he wanted to.

"Hey chimp!" Leona greeted, laughing.

Draco gave her a flat look before saying, "Hello, monkey." He was trying to keep an annoyed face but he couldn't help but laugh. It seemed hollow but it was a laugh all the same. Whatever was going on couldn't be that bad.

"So, have you kept your promises?"

Draco nodded, "Well, almost. I need to say sorry." he paused, "Do I have to do that one?"

"Yes! There is no way I am letting you get away with that one."

He pouted at her, he looked cute. Leona frowned, she did not just think that! "Please don't make me." he continued pouting. She felt sorry for making him apologise.

Her resolve was crumbling, but before she completely caved, she said, "Please! You promised." she then had a brilliant idea, she returned the pout. Her bottom lip was sticking out, her eyes were wide and begging. A mixture of emotions flashed across his face; shock and then sympathy but after that his face returned to an unreadable mask.

He sighed, "Fine! When?"

"Now." his eyes widened.

"Why now? Why not later..." he trailed off at the look on her face. She glared at him in a way which he couldn't refuse her. He had no choice but to agree.

Grimacing he agreed, "Ok, if you want to emotionally scar me for the rest of my life..."

"Emotionally scar you?!" Leona laughed, "Stop being such a drama queen." she rolled her eyes and he scowled.

She went to grab his hand and he shied back. Leona felt hurt but then she reminded herself what he had been through. He then looked ashamed and looked at the ground. Was he ashamed because he was scared? She couldn't believe how lowly he thought of himself.

She used her hand to tilt his chin and they locked eyes, "I will never hurt you." she said softly.

It was silent and he nodded, "I know that, it's just-"

"I know. And I don't blame you, you shouldn't be ashamed. You've been through a lot." giving him a small smile, she reached for his hand slowly. When she finally had ahold of it he did not flinch. She took him outside her common room.

"I'm sorry."

She stared at him exasperated, "You don't need to be sorry! It's not your fault at all, you just remember that."

He nodded, "Right, let's get this over with."

Leona rushed inside the common room and got Hermione; naturally Ron and Harry came with her. Once they came throught the portrait hole, their faces became confused. However, it soon became awkward because of the hate radiating off of every person apart from Leona.

She seemed to be stood in the middle, the only person who knew them both, who trusted them both. She did not know it yet but she would come to regret the position she had now put herself.

She started, breaking the silence, "So...um...Draco?" she looked at him with a hope that he would start. But he said nothing, "Ok, never mind. Um...Draco came here to...he came to say sorry!" she blurted.
