FORBIDDEN FEELINGS

Chapter 28- The Truth

I wake up and my head is banging. Why did I drink so much last night? The kiss between me and Harry replays in my head as I am getting ready. I feel so guilty as I don't like him at all. I hope this works in Seamus's plan though.

We eat breakfast and I can't even look Harry or Malfoy in the eyes. I have no idea what I'm going to do.

As we're walking out of the hall after breakfast, I grab Harry and pull him for a chat. "I'm sorry about last night. You were a good kisser and I thoroughly enjoyed it" I say as we are walking.

"It's fine. And thank you, you were a brilliant kisser"

"You really cheered me up. How can I repay you?"

"I'm not sure yet, I'll think about it"

We hug.

A week has passed and it's now the 24th January. We sit down in Potions first period, and Snape walks up to me. "Miss Carter, you don't seem to be performing as well in class as you were before. I believe Miss Granger has not been teaching you well" Snape says, and I glance over at Hermione who does not look happy at all. "So, I have made the decision to make it compulsory that you attend tutoring with Draco again"

I roll my eyes and stare at Malfoy who is smirking as he is happy to tease me again. For fucks sake.

After class Hermione shouts "This is what happens when you bring me into things. It makes me look stupid"

"I didn't mean to drag you in like this. I thought it was going to be a good thing" I reply.

"You better turn up to those tutoring sessions because I'm not covering for you again"

She pushes me and walks off with Ron and Harry.

The next day, when I finish dinner, I try and go back to my dorm instead of tutoring, but I get stopped by Snape. "Where do you think you're going? Tutoring is that way" he says pointing to the direction behind me. I sigh and he takes me to the classroom. He leaves me alone with Malfoy.

"Trying to get out of it, were we, Carter?" He says, smirking.

"Yeah, wouldn't want to spend an hour with you"

"Yeah I guess you were on your way to sneak into Potter's dorm, have a little date" he laughs a bit.

"Well he's better company than you"

"Of course you'd say that because you are dating him, aren't you?"

"Ugh Malfoy, just give up on that rumour now. Everyone knows. It's not funny, it's not cool, it's just childish really"

"Is that so? Well, I think it's childish that you cheated, and you lied. You deserve this rumour to go around"

"I've done nothing wrong"

"Nothing wrong? Oh please. Give me a break. You just keep making mistakes, don't you, Carter?"

"Leave me alone. For God's sake. All you do is try and wind me up. Is this really what entertains you, you lanky twat"

He laughs "You think you're so funny. You think you're the most amazing person in this school. Well sorry to break it to you, but you're a selfish, ugly Muggle who wants everything to be perfect for you. All you did was come into this school late and cause nothing but trouble. You should be ashamed of yourself"

"Oh my god. Just leave it now"

"You want everyone to think you're the best person in the world and you want the boys to be all over you. But I bet even Potter wouldn't touch you because he'd probably get some sort of disease"

"Of course, he'd touch me"

"No, he wouldn't. He wouldn't even kiss you"

"Well he did, last week. He was a better kisser than you were"

SHIT.

Silence fills the room as Malfoy steps back in amusement. He starts laughing and picks up his satchel.

"Where are you going?" I ask, worriedly.

"Wait until the whole school finds out about this. The truth. You won't get out of this one, Carter"

"No Malfoy, please no. I'll do anything"

"See you tomorrow" he skips out.

Great. Another mistake I made. I just can't stop, can I?

The next morning, we walk into the Great Hall and EVERY SINGLE WITCH AND WIZARD are looking at me. I hate this because I know exactly why they're staring. I sit down and Ron says "Oi oi Harry, your girlfriends here"

Harry asks, "Who did you tell?"

"No one" I lie.

"Well, how did everyone find out then?"

"Fine. I told Malfoy"

Everyone around me gasps.

"Oh Christ" Ron says shaking his head.

"Why on God's green Earth would you tell Malfoy?" Hermione says, hitting me continuously.

"He basically forced me to tell him"

"Well you still shouldn't have told him" she shouts, still hitting me.

"Can you stop fucking hitting me?" I scream and I storm out the room. I'm fed up of this.

As I leave the hall, I hear Seamus shout "Jessa!". 

I stop in the corridor and scream "This is your fault"

He gasps "Don't you dare blame me for this. You're the one who kissed him"

"You're the one who told me to embrace it"

I see Malfoy come out of the Great Hall and push Seamus out the way. His friends are behind him. "Ah, so is this your next victim, Carter?" he teases, and his mates laugh.

"Just leave it now, Malfoy"

"It's funny how you kissing Potter has spread around the school faster you could ever spread your legs, you slut"

"Don't know why you keep calling her a slut, she's actually the opposite" Seamus defends me.

Malfoy lowers his eyebrows and shouts "How DARE you speak to a superior like me, my father will hear about this"

He struts off, barging me in the shoulder as he walks past. I hate this guy so much.
