The Sad Truth

Trouble

"what do you think you are doing by our common room?" I heard on my way to Hagrids hut, I peered the corner and saw Draco picking on a first year hufflepuff. "I dont know why they let mugbloods attend this school, youre all worthless" he says shoving the first year harder against the wall.

Mad I stormed over to them "Draco put him down, he did nothing wrong and you know it" I said crossing my arms glaring at him. He sighs and puts the kid down and I rush over to help "Im Lilian, sorry about that some people dont have manners" I tell him pulling him off the ground. "It would be best to walk with someone around the Slytherin common room, we wouldnt want this happening again" I smiled at him, he smiled back and mumbled a thankyou before running off. I stood up and stared at Draco "why must you always cause trouble" I ask him.

He smirks and pins me against the wall "why are you always meddling? if I wasnt mistaken you seem to always be following me around. Do I fancy you?" he asked leaning closer to my face.

I sneered up at him "In your dreams ice queen, we wouldnt be in this situation if you stopped causing trouble" I said to him. "Plus Im a "worthless half-blood" why do you even care if Im helping others?"

His face was still close to mine and I looked at his grey/sliver eyes and remembered our fun times as kids making me look away from him. He grabbed my chin and made me look up at him "I dont care what you think or do. It just irritates me that you wont back down. Your gutsy and I respect that, even if you are a weak half-blood" He says leaning coser to my face. My heart starts pounding and I pushed him away from me causing both of us to fall back on the floor. Draco seemed to wake up from whatever trance he was in "what the bloody hell did you make me do" he said quickly getting up.

He made a move to grab my arm I took out my wand and pointed it at him "Stand down Malfoy" I say to him.

"Oh, thats rich, what are you going to do about it" he says grabbing my arm lifting me on my feet. I closed my eyes and mumbled Evanesco with my wand pointing at his belt. His pants fell down revealing rubber ducky patterned underwear causing me to cover my eyes. "How dare you! My father will hear about this"

I heard laughing and felt two people pick me up off the ground "That was brilliant yang" I heard one of the twins say I opened my eyes and saw that they were the ones that carried me off, wait what did he call me...

"Yang?" I questioned looking up at them.

George looked at me "its one half of the ying-yang symbol, its when daylight dominates over darkness. Like you in the Slytherins" he says and I smiled, its a cute name.

They contined running with me in their arms, we crashed into someone and fell on the floor we looked up and saw my dad looking down at us "Weasleys and Ms. Evans do I need to remind you not to be running in the halls" he looked behind us and saw Malfoy running after us holding his pants up causing me to giggle a little earning me a stern look. "Mr. Malfoy what is the problem?" He asked Draco.

"You see sir, crabbe, goyle and I were walking to Hagrids class when this menace made my belt disappear and ran off with the weasleys" he said with a smug look on his face making me glare at him.

"Ill deal with these three, you three head back to class" he says dismissing draco and his friends. "ill be taking ten point off each of your houses and you will have to serve and hour and a half detention with me after the quidditch game tomorrow" I looked at the twins who had their heads down and felt guilty because they had done nothing wrong.

"da- Professor Snape they had nothing to do with it, It was all my fault, they were just helping me escape. Please they dont deserve this, and I did what I did out of self defence, Draco isnt the victim, ask the hufflepuff he was tormenting" I say looking up at him, while the twins stared at me.

He sighed "Very well Ms. Evan they are off the hook but Slytherin loses twenty points because of your behavior. Ill also speak with the hufflepuff about what went on" He finished turning to walk away from us.

I let out a sigh of relief when he left "Thanks for that Yang, one more detention and we would have gotten a howler like Ron did" I laughed thinking back to that day.

"Dont worry you guys didnt do anyhing but help me, you didnt deserve to get detention on my account" I said taking my book from Fred and hugged the both of them "Thank you, but I really have to get to class Ill see you guys tomorrow, I have quiddich practice later" I said walking off.

When I made it to hagrids hut I noticed everyone was staring at the sky "Hey why is everyone looking up?" I whisper asked hermione. She jumped and playfully slapped my arm.

"Jesus, dont do that to me" she says laughing. Looking at the sky she continues "we are waiting for harry to come back down" I looked up and saw him landing the Hippogriff by hagrid "Hagrid said that they are very proud creatures and easily offended" as she said this Draco was walking up to the Hippogriff isnsulting it. Buckbeat didnt care for it because he attacked Draco scratching his arm making the boy act hysterical.

While everyone stepped back I moved foreward and ripped a peice of my robe tying it aroung his cut "how many times do i have to tell you to stop causing trouble" I asked him.

He shoved me away from him "If im so much trouble stop meddling in my buisness, if you dislike me so much why are you helping me now" he snarled out.

I tightened the the peice of fabric on his arm causing him hiss in pain "Believe it or not you help me a lot when we were younger" I whispered so no one could here "see it as payback for those days I cried on your shoulder when we were kids. You might not have valued our friendship like I did but Im grateful you were there" I sniffled feeling teary eyed. I stood up and dusted my pants the same time Hagrid came to carry Draco to the infirmary.

I stood there watching Hagrid walk away "That seemed real intimate mind sharing?" asks Hermione "I didnt think youd be nice to him too? Considering what trouble he caused you"

"nothing of the sort, I was just returning a favor, Just because a person is bad it doesnt mean they dont deserve any help" I say looking at her.
