The Sad Truth

I did that

After the day ended, I requested to use the potion room to "practice". I took out what I needed and sat at my usual table, I put my glasses on and started to measure ingredients together. I planned on making a potion that doesn't have to be consumed to work. The general idea is that once its out of the bottle the liquid will harden and form a chain barrier. The difficult part is making the chain expand without using a large amount of potion, I just need one more ingredient, I just cant think about it. I put a replica of a house on the tray, I put the potion around the house and tiny chains started to form, this made me happy. it only made a barrier but I'm planning on making a dome, once the chains finished forming I grabbed the twig I brought from outside and touched the chains, doing that the twig was vibrating and I could see blue sparks before the twig was electrocuted. Interesting I thought jotting this in my notebook, a few weeks ago I tried this with a leaf and it burned, its inconsistent, I told myself. "I wonder what would happen if I-" I mumbled touching it with my finger, a jolt made me pull my finger back, then I felt this unbearable hot sensation and saw that it left a burn mark and my veins were very noticeable. out of the corner of my eye someone walked past the room and I quickly cleared my desk fearing it was a professor or worse my dad. He didn't like when I was experimenting because he didn't want me to get hurt. Looking outside I saw Draco speed walking who knows where. I had an inkling to follow him so I wrapped my burned finger and sped walked after him.

Not to sound creepy but I followed him for a while but eventually lost him. I was walking around the halls when I saw Crabbe and Goyle guarding a door and thought Draco would be in there. Knowing they weren't going to let me pass I took out the Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder I bought from the twins and threw it on the ground. The hall way got dark and I took that as my opportunity to sneak through the doors. Once in the room I noticed that it was full of clutter, there were stacks of books and other random things. I heard mumbling and followed it, when I was getting close to it there as an exasperated sigh and small whimpers coming from that direction so I took off running. When I got there I was shocked to see Draco sitting on the floor hugging his knees crying softly. I slowly walked towards him and quietly stood in front of him not knowing what to say "um, Draco are you ok?" I ask kneeling down so that I was at eye level with him.

His head quickly shot up "Ili? How did you get past Crabbe and Goyle?" he asked wiping the small amount of tears he had built up.

"You left those two to guard of course Id get in" I tell him and sit next to him on the ground. "So are you going to tell me what's wrong or am I going to have to pry it out of you?" I say turning my head to look at him "of course I respect your decision if you choose not to tell me but I want to be there for you like I said I would because I care about you" I say shifting onto my knees and hold both his hands in mine.

He looks at me as if he were fighting an inner war, "I just cant tell you" he says looking down "I have no choice, this is something I have to do whether I want to or not and if I don't I-" he stopped talking and covered his face.

"Is this "something I have to do" the reason you have been withdrawn from everyone for weeks now?" I asked and he nods his head.

"I have to do this right. ill be killed if I don't" he said making my heart stop. Looking at him I see that he has lost all hope and I panic, I'm not sure what to do. So I kissed him. I was shocked by my actions, I wasn't sure what made me do it, maybe it as the fear of not having him in my life or the fact that he had no hope in anything. When he wasn't responding back I knew I had messed up and started to pull away, as if he sensed it he wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him deepening the kiss. My brain had stopped working and I was just going through with the motions, the door opened and I broke off the kiss and hid behind the closet.

"Draco its time for our next class" says Goyle.

Draco coughs "um, yeah I suppose it is" I heard shuffling. "You two go I need to wrap up somethings and Ill head out" I didn't hear anything so I peered out from my hiding spot. Draco grabbed my wrist and pulled me up "What happened to "I don't want to be someone's secret" huh?" he smirked looking down at me leaning in for another kiss.

I quickly put my finger on his lips "not going to happen, I don't know what came over me to make me act that way, sorry" he grabbed my hand and kissed the bandage on my finger making my face grow hotter and redder than it already was.

Pulling me by waist he says "don't be sorry lovely, you don't know how long I've wanted to do that" he ends up kissing my forehead and grabbing his book bag "Id love to stay longer but we can pick up where we left off later" he winks before walking out.

I squealed when I was sure he left and I was alone. That actually happened, I should tell the twins! wait, do they still hate him? Maybe Hermione? No, she'd just smirk and say I told you so, I thought to myself as I walked out of the room touching my lips.

"You look lovesick" I hear as I bump into the twins.
