I miss him. Which is something I never thought I would say, but having to act like I hate him is such a difficult task.
"Ugh, it's him," Hermione says. I turn my head to look down the hall. Seeing the platinum blonde hair bobbing in front of me made my heart skip a beat. I fake a scowl as he and his idiots come closer.
"Hey, Potter! Where's your twat of a brother today?" Malfoy shouts. I ignore him since I've been feeling sad and I'm definitely not in the mood to bicker. I assumed he would soon realize that I wasn't going to argue today, but when he turned to his classroom, Goyle shouts an insult.
"No wonder your parents died, you're clearly a failure," I freeze in my tracks, Hermione tugging on my robes, not wanting to be late to class. I feel the tears stinging in my eyes. I turn and look at Draco to see him just chatting with those goons as nothing happened. I run to the bathroom, hoping no one would bother me there.
I pull open the door and lean on one of the sinks. I let the hot tears run down my face and let out a choked sob. All day I had been thinking about how depressing it would be, staying at school during Christmas, having only Harry to spend it with. With barely any money, I couldn't even buy gifts for my few friends. I think about Draco and how he'll go home to a father who treats him badly. I remember how hard it is for him since his only real friend is his 'enemy'. I wipe my tears away and turn on the sink. Looking at the water, the door opens behind me. I splash some water on my face, trying to wash away the evidence of tears.
"Princess? It's Draco." He speaks with a soft and sweet voice. I contemplate hiding out of frustration and sadness. Before I can decide, he turns the corner and sees me. "I'm so sorry about Goyle, he's fucking stupid.
"Oh, it's ok. No big deal."
"Don't lie to me. I can tell you've been crying, your eyes are red." I sigh, feeling my eyes tear up once again.
"It's just that what he said struck a nerve. I've been feeling sad today since everyone's going home tomorrow."
"Then I won't go, I'll stay with you. I know what it's like to stay here, it's lonely."
"Really? I-if you want to go home, you can,"
"No, I'll stay. We can finally spend time together, without worrying about others!"
"Except for Harry, we have to make sure he doesn't find out."
"Got it."
