Be My Hero

Chapter 4

  Song of the chapter : Daddy Issues by The Neighborhood

   Draco's POV

                "Who is it that people can't stand?"

             Me.

           No one can stand me.

             Instead of replying I just stand up and walk out of the common room which probably makes me look like a complete loser but I was speechless. After everything I've been through I didn't think it was possible for someone to hurt my feelings.

                 I was wrong.

          I quickly make my way down the hall and turn into the girl's bathroom. I don't talk to anyone about how I'm feeling. If I knew how I probably would, it would be nice to let some of this anger out. But as Hero said, no one can stand me.

                      "Myrtle!" I shout.

     She rises from one of the stalls and floats over to me. I see a big smile grow on her face.

              "Come back to see your favorite girl?" She giggles.

          Myrtle and I are complete opposites. I'm not really sure why I even visit her. I guess she's the only person that tries to understand. We first met when I became a death eater. I somehow ended up in the second-floor restroom. She came out of hiding after hearing my sobs and offered her friendship. As I said, we are total opposites. But I think she wanted a friend just as badly as I did.

                     "This filthy new mudblood thinks she owns the place!" I shout.

         "Draco!" Myrtle pouts. "Stop using that word, my parents were muggles too."

               "Sorry, I just can't stand her. I've been going to school here for six years and she is the first person to actually hurt my feelings."

         Myrtle comes closer to me and sits on the sink. I hear a small chuckle on her breath.

              "Why are you always laughing?" I snap. "If you met her you'd know what I mean."

                                        "Who says I haven't met her?"

          I look back at Myrtle and she continues to giggle as she says, "This is the girl's bathroom after all..."

              I say nothing. It is the girl's bathroom but how would Myrtle know who I'm talking about? She's just messing with me.

            "I think that someone has a crush on Hero Green." She sighs. "I don't blame you, Draco. She's very beautiful."

                             "How did you know who I was talking about?"

            Myrtle gets off the sink and begins to float back to her stall. I wait for a reply but I'm left in complete silence.

                                                     Thanks for nothing, Myrtle.

               I swear she thinks she knows everything! I don't have a crush on Hero, why would I? She's a mudblood. A mudblood who's friends with Pansy! I saw the way Theodore was looking at Green, it was disgusting. I honestly have no clue why any guy would want to be with her.
