The Mudblood and The Slytherin Prince

Chapter 16: The Day After

'Leave me alone, Malfoy.' You say trying to push past him, but he doesn't let you.

You stand there looking at him and start to shiver a little bit. He notices, but doesn't let you go.

'I'm cold, I want to go back inside.'

'Where's Potter?' He asks looking around. You just shrug your shoulders. 'Figures he would leave you alone. Poor little dove, all alone at the dance.'

'The dance is almost over. He probably went back to the common room with Ron, now if you'll excuse me,' you say trying to walk past him again, but he still doesn't let you.

'God, what do you want!' You yell at him. 'I told you I'm done with you. You got what you wanted. I'm finally starting to feel happy again and you being around isn't making it any better!'

He grabs your wrist and drags you inside the castle. You try to fight him, but it's no use. Most students have gone back to their common rooms so no one noticed you and Malfoy walking through the great hall. He brings you back to the abandoned classroom and locks the door.

'Why did you go with him?' He asks.

You look at him, wondering why the hell he would even ask that.

'Because he asked me.' You say. 'He asked me and I said yes.'

'I know how you feel about him.' He says walking closer to you, and you start to back away until your back hits a wall.

'You read my diary like everyone else did?'

'I was actually in the middle of reading it when Pansy took it from me. I finished it when she printed off all the pages.' He's silent for a while. 'Why do you like him?' He says quietly.

You let out a small laugh. 'Because he's actually nice to me. He's kind, he's sweet, he-'

'I don't want to hear it!' He yells.

'Well, you're the one who asked me.' You said annoyingly. 'All I did was answer.'

You both just stare at each other for a bit. You both have anger in your eyes. Before you could open your mouth, Malfoy kisses you.

You push him away, but he grabs your hips and brings you back into him. Your body slams against his and he kisses you again. He wraps his hands around your waist so you can't escape him. You both deepen the kiss and he slides his tongue into your mouth. You let out a small moan and he looks at you and smiles.

You wake up from your bed, panting. You feel around your face and your body and let out a sigh. Your clock says 6:30am so you decide to get up and go to the bathroom and get dressed.

By the time you finished, you head to the great hall for breakfast. You notice Harry, Ron and Hermonie already at their table so you decide to sit with them.

'Good morning!' You say cheerfully. They all give you a smile back.

You all talk about what y'all are going to do today.

'We could go back to Hogsmeade?' Harry asks.

'No.' Ron says.

'Why not? I like going. (y/n), you'll go with me?'

You smile at him.

'Hermonie?' She just shakes her head.

Everything is silent for a while and the boys decide to go back to the common room. Harry says he'll meet you back down here in a little bit.

'What happened with Malfoy?' Hermonie whispers after the boys left.

'What?' You ask shockingly.

'Before I left I seen you two out in courtyard.'

Your eyes go wide when you realize that wasn't a dream. You actually kissed Malfoy after going to the ball with Harry. You start shaking your head and run out of the great hall. You end up in the Astronomy Tower instead of the boathouse. You pace around the room and throw up over the railing.

'God, what is up with me and throwing up lately? I've got to get this stress under control.' You turn back around and wipe your mouth. You sit down on the ground and lean your head up against the stone wall, pacing your breathing.

'(y/n)?' You hear someone ask from the other side of the tower. You look over to see Harry.

Your eyes go wide and you start crying. He walks over to you and sits down beside you. Before you could even stop yourself, the words come out of your mouth.

'I kissed Malfoy. Well, to be clear, he kissed me and I pushed him away, but then he pulled me into him and we kissed.'

Harry's quiet for a while, trying to understand what you just said. You did say it kind of fast. You start crying even more and feel like you're about to throw up again. You stand up and lean over the railing once more but you just look down and breathe.

'You seem guilty about it' is all Harry says.

'I am! I thought it was a dream until Hermonie asked what we were doing in the courtyard. I didn't think it actually happened. I don't want to have anything to do with him. He's not good for me, you're right. I don't want to keep feeling like this. It sucks. And he's part of the reason why all the shit happened in the first place!'

'Your diary?'

'Yes! He was reading it and then Pansy took it. He stole it from my bag.' You fall back into the floor feeling defeated. 'I really like you, Harry. I do. If I didn't, I wouldn't have went to the dance with you. I had fun... until Malfoy showed up.'

'He likes you.'

You look at Harry in confusion. It has to be a lie. If he did, he wouldn't treat you like this. This isn't how you treat the person you like... like how you treated Harry. But Harry is special. You feel a connection with him. But, Malfoy... may just be more of a lust feeling. Wanting something that you can't have.

'He said it in the note that I read. The one that you told me to rip up... well, I'll be going now.'

You don't even try to stop him. You just cry on the floor as he leaves the Astronomy Tower.
