Malfoy Neighbors

Buckbeak-Year 3 Chapter 8

Class ended and the school was walking to lunch. Draco pulled you to the side.

"Are we still...?" He started. You rolled your eyes.

"Are you going to continue to be a jerk?" You asked harshly. He didn't say anything.

"Draco, I really care a lot about you. I care so much it hurts. I don't know why I care so much, because your a jerk. I'm not even that mad that your being a jerk. What's got me upset is that you told me that you would be kinder. You didn't even try. So when you can keep your word, let me know. Until then, were done." You said. Draco looked at you schocked.

"So we're broken up?" He asked with a hint of disappointment.

"You did it to yourself Draco. It hurts to much. I can't do it anymore." You said then walked off.

Draco's pov

Draco stood flabbergasted. It felt as if you pulled his heart from his chest and ripped it in two. He didn't realize how mad you had gotton at him. He watched as you walked away.

Your pov

You were eating lunch when Draco's friends came up to you.

"Have you seen Draco?" Goyle asked.

"Last I saw him, he was in the corridor just outside." You said looking up. "I broke up with the git." You went back to your lunch. The boys looked at each other and headed out.

"You broke up with Draco?" Kathy asked in disbelieve.

"Yeah, I told him that I couldn't do it anymore." You said with a sad look on your face.

Draco's pov

Draco didn't go to lunch. Instead, he went to the abandoned room that you showed him the year before. It was just as you left it, just with some dust and cobwebs. Draco sat down on the couch and staired into the flames he started in the fireplace.

"I really did it this time." He said to himself. "Well, I guess it was bond to happen." The lunch bell rang telling him it was time to head to his next class.

Your pov

After lunch, you had care of magical creatures. Hagrid had some hippogriffs for the students to meet. As he explaining that you don't insult a hippogriff, Draco and his friends weren't listening. You ignored them and went back to the lession. Potter volunteered to go first to meet the great beasts. He bowed and the one called Buckbeak bowed back. Potter reached a hand out and petted him. You looked back at Draco who was sniggering with Crabbe and Goyle. You looked back at Buckbeak. Potter was climbing onto the hippogriff's back. The creature flapped his large bird like wings and took off. It was awstrucking to see such a majestic creature. When they landed, Potter jumped down and was greeted by his friends.

The whole class wanted a trun with a hippogriff so Hagrid untied them all. Malfoy and his friends took over Buckbeak, who had bowed for Draco. He was petting the hippogriffs beack, when he started talking loudly.

"This is very easy. I knew it must have been, if Potter could do it." He looked back at Buckbeak, "I bet you're not dangerous at all, are you? You great ugly brute." You winsed when you heard the words come from his mouth. Buckbeak had attacked him. Draco gave an ear pitching scream, and fell to the ground, blood socking his robe. Hagrid calmed Buckbeak and got his collar back on and under control. You wanted to run over to Draco but fought back the urge. You still cared about him, after all, but you weren't his girlfriend anymore.

"I'm dieing, I'm dieing! Look at me! It's killed me!" Draco yelled panicked. You wanted to help him, but knew it was his own fault. Hagrid picked him up and headed to the castle. Later after class you went to see him in the hospital wing. He was surrounded by Crabbe, Goyle and Perkinson. You walked up to him slowly. None of them seem to notice you.

"Wait till I tell my father!" Draco bellowed then he spotted you.

"(Y/n)." He said quietly with a bit of surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to make sure you were ok." You said walking between the two boys and Perkinson.

"You broke up with him!" Perkinson said. "So go away." You flipped around to see her jealously.

"Just because we broke up does not mean I don't care." You said coldly and faced Draco again.

"How bad is it?" You asked looking at his arm. Draco didn't move; didn't say a word.

"He'll be fine." Madam Pompfhy said, making you all jump. You looked at Draco.

"Good, because this," you grabbed Draco's injured arm. "Is no ones fault but your own." You let go and walked out. Draco winsed in pain but didn't say anything.

The next day, Draco wasn't in any of you classes. You snuck off from your freinds to go see Draco after your classes were done for the day. You walked in the hospital wing and found Draco sleeping. Your heart sank. If you haded brock up with him, you would have kissed him. You walked up to him and sat down. After a few minutes he opened his eyes.

"Now this is a reversal." Draco said sitting up.

"How's your arm?" You asked concerned. "You weren't in any of our classes and I..." You looked from his arm to his eyes. "Was getting worried." He smiled and took your hand.

"It hurts a lot." He said. "But don't worry about me, ok," he said pulling your hand to his lips. "I'll be fine." He kissed your hand and let go. You looked back at his bandaged arm.

"I'm sorry I grabbed your arm yesterday." You looked down, feeling bad. "I was just really mad that you weren't listening, and did the very thing you were told not to do."

"(Y/n)?" He said pulling your chin to make you look at him. "It's fine." You eye balled him.

Draco's pov

Draco wanted to kiss you. He wanted you to forgive him, but he also knew that, that wasn't going to happen over night.

"My arm does hurt a lot..." he said but you interrupted him.

"It didn't help that I grabbed it." You said, tears watering your eyes.

"It was my fault, (f/n)." He said softly wiping the tears from your check. "Don't feel upset." You hugged him gently and kissed his cheek.

"I should get to the common room." You said standing. His heart leaped and he smiled.

"I know it dosen't mean much, but I swear, I'll be nicer. I'll try my hardest to make you proud of me." He said as you walked away.

"Don't promise me something you can't do, Draco." You replied and walked off.
