I chuckle and try to look directly at his pale grey eyes, "What are you even saying?"

This has got to be a joke, right?

He stand still, letting go of my arms.

"Look at me." I demanded and he obliged but hesitant.

"I'm sorry, it has to be this way" I scoff.

Is he even hearing himself?

I clench my fists until my knuckles turn white.

"Why?"

Silence...

We both look at each other. I saw my reflection in his eyes, there I stood so pathetically. I can't take it anymore, I've missed him so much and now he's saying this?

No.

I pull his face to mine and kiss him. It only lasted a few seconds until he pull back.

"Please don't make this harder than it already is"

"Then don't leave me" I whisper. Our heads still together, lips only inches apart. He only shook his head slowly.

"Then at least tell me why?" I barely whisper as tears were now starting to fall down. He whispered one last sorry and left me there. Alone.

He left you. Just like your parents did.

Shut up! Shut up!

I grip my hair as I sit to the ground. The wind started to blew more stronger signalling it's about to rain.

Did he even love you like you did?

I started crying more loudly didn't care about anything at all.

I stared at the blue ceiling above me. I eventually did walk to my room with the help of Luna. She did noticed me at one of the corridors crying at the middle of it.

"Hey, are you gonna go to class?" she looks so concerned so I said I was okay and went to freshen myself a little bit in the bathroom. I put on my robes and collect my books and quill.

"You sure you're going to be okay?" she asked as I was about to enter potions class. Well, I can't skip this class of course. I nod and enter the class with livelier face even though there was bags under my eyes. Luna really did tried to comfort me that night.

(y/n), I'm telling you if you ever made an eye contact with hi-

Too late, he's looking at me. Fuck.

We both look away quickly, soon Snape came in and start the lesson immediately,

"Today we'll be reviewing the calming draught potion so as usual I will pair you up"

Everyone was actually called randomly. I think Snape's being lazy.

"(y/n) sit with Harry"

Yes. I'll need some distraction anyways.

I smile to Harry and walk over to sit beside him. He engage a small conversation and soon start to discuss about the potion we're making.

"Uh, (y/n) we're missing one ingredient. Can you get it?" I nod and walk over to the shelf. It was really far up so I have to tip toe trying to reach it.

Then, someone else's hand grab the jar and hand it to me. Of course, it was him. I stare at his eyes but he just looks colder not like the soft grey eyes that I used to look at everytime I'm with him...

I feel like I was going to tear up again. Harry notice the situation and soon went over to me and take the jar from Draco's hand. Harry hug my shoulder and pull me to our table. I held back my tears as I brew the potion.

With Harry's help, fortunately, I didn't mess up the potion considering my mind was elsewhere. Snape soon came over to each person's table to look at the potion.

When he stopped at our table, he look at my eyes, "It appears to be.. Passable." I sigh.

Damn it!

Class ended and I was packing up my stuff. I didn't mind my surroundings as I walk out of the class until someone touch my shoulder.

"Hey, I've heard what happened with you and Draco" Harry said as I turn around. We smile at each other and walk to our next class. Soon, Hermione and Ron join in as Harry and I were about to reach our class.

"You know what, forget about him! There's someone out there that wants you" Ron said as he eye Harry up and down. Hermione nudge him as she notices that me and Harry was uncomfortable with that.

"Ron's right, you know. Maybe there's someone out there that wants you..." Harry smile to me while the others was gawking at what he said to me. I just smile. To be honest, I was not ready, ready for what? I don't even know.

Students stop chattering as the new defense against dark arts professor enters the class...

She smiled so proudly and introduces herself,

"I'm Dolores Umbridge, your new Defense Against Dark Arts professor" people didn't actually care about her, she seems like an easy teacher that would get fooled so they start to chat again until she slams her hand down on the table,

"And I'm a very strict professor" she continued as she kept smiling creepily to us.

And damn when she says she's strict, she is strict. That one time I have to correct her she made me do 50 standards for 'talking back to her'. I didn't even dare to protest.

Weeks later, people were starting to look at me and even glare too. I didn't even know what I did to them. Then Luna told me about the news.

I manage to get my hand on the Daily Prophet newspaper in my dormitory and saw it. My father's face and Lucius's. They were both sent to Azkaban.. Everyone knew I was the daughter of one of the death eaters. What could be possibly worse than this?

Draco.

I drop the paper and rush out of my dormitory, searching for him. He was nowhere to be found as always. I asked around but nothing. However, I keep running hoping I would finally find him until I bumped into someone.

"Whoa, are you okay?" Neville asked. I wipe my tears and nod. He heard what happened and try to comfort me as we walk to the Great Hall for dinner.

My mood was still down even though the others tried to make a joke to cheer me up. I appreciate it but it just won't do right now. I kept playing with my food until the headmaster start to announce something,

"Students I have something to tell you.." he explained that there was a student that got hexxed by someone. People start to get worried. Harry then stand up and walked out of the Great Hall. He looked so serious so I decide to follow him. The others didn't really notice us since they were talking about the victim.

Harry walk faster and faster as I try to keep up to him. He told me not to follow him but I was too stubborn to listen to him and he eventually give up.

We then arrivef at the Prefect's bathroom,

"What are we doing here?" I asked curiously.

"Don't come inside" he entered the bathroom and left me alone outside. There was an eerie feeling that someone was watching me from afar. I just shrug it off when I heard the was a loud noise coming from inside the bathroom.

I decide to break the rules and went inside. I gasp as I saw the surroundings.

What the hell happened.

Harry then looked at me, terrified. As I walk over to him, I could hear someone groaned.

There he was laying on the ground, bloody. I ran to his side and held his head lightly.

"D-draco what the hell happened to you?"
