I was made for Harry, for Hermione, grew with Ronald...I had no place with Draco Malfoy...under his control...his own object...but I was stuck...and I wasn't getting out
Persona....other out on a persona to be someone they are not... an act... a lie...call it what you want... either way it will destroy someone...destroy relationships...destroy us....his persona
(Writer to reader, I imagined the Gabriella and Draco conversation at the ball and dance to be read while listening to the song above....it will set the mood... I recommend listening and reading at the same time)
Gabriellas POV "Gabriella!" Hermione calls as she runs up to me. "As your potion wore off?" She says as she feels my forehead for a fever. "Yes I'm better" I reply as I unlock our door. "Are you coming down to dinner?" She questions as she looks up to me. "I'm not hungry...tell Harry I wanted some extra sleep tonight" I say to her as I open my door. She nods her head and skips down the hall.
As I walk into the bedroom I flip down on my bed and re think over the conversation I had with Draco. I said I loved Harry...I stopped myself from kissing him...maybe it's true...maybe I do love Harry....or maybe I love Draco.
As I rest on my side I find myself slowly starting to dose off to sleep.
I am awoken by people bursting though my door. "Today is the ball" Harry says as him and Ron jump on my bed. "Wake up wake up" Hermione says as she hits me with her pillow. "I'm up...I'm up" I say as I laugh at them all. "Professor Dumbledore has called off all classes today so we can practice or some shit" Ron says as he jumps on Hermiones bed. "Or other things" Harry says as he tickles me. We laugh as Hermione and Ron look at us confused. "I'm hungry" Ron wines as he walks towards the door. "Oh when aren't you Ronald" Hermione says as she laughs and follow him. Harry and follow as we walk to the dining hall for breakfast.
I sit next to Harry as they start collecting meals. I grab a juice and lean on Harry. I sit up when I notice draco walk into the room. "Why so tense Gabriella...excited" Draco says as he passes our table laughing. "Shove off Malfoy" Ron says as we ignore him. It's funny how he changes so quickly from the kind boy in the library to the asshole I met on the first day.... if only I knew a way to bother him as much as he does for me.
The day passes, I get ready in my room for the ball Harry will be here any second to pick me up. As I spray my perfume I hear a nock at the door. "Harry I'm read-.... oh um Fred, George" I say as I open the door. "Harry had a meeting to attend to before the ball but he will be there later. He said he wanted is to Ascott you in" they say as hey hold out their hands. "Of course he does" I say as I grab their hands.
As we make it to the front door we see the gryfinndor students are getting introduced in me and the twins jump in the line. "Miss Hermione and Mr Ronald" Dumbledore calls from the loud speaker. "Miss Gabriella and Fred and george" he says as the doors open up. The boys hold my hands as they walk me in. "They are all looking at you" I say while I look up to the boys. "No Gabriella, they are looking at you" Fred says as he raises my hand and kisses my palm. I smile up to him but then I look down I notice a familiar face. Why was draco here...he said he had no reason to be here. As I pass him i shoot him a confused look. He looks at me pissed as he turns and walks to the Slytherin boys table.
The night starts and students from every house dance on the floor. I sit at a table with Hermione while the boys are dancing on the dance floor. "Where's Harry?" I question as I look up to Hermione. "Uh-um he needed to uh sort something out for Dumbledore" she says as she turns away. I can tell she isn't telling the truth. "What ever" I say as I turn away and take a sip of my drink. "If he didn't want to come with me he could of just said" I say as I look down to my feet. "I'm sure it was really important" Hermione says as she rubs my arm. "We ask that all males invited a special girl to the dance floor for a slow song" the presenter calls from the stage. Ron walks up to Hermione as he takes her and pulls her to the dance floor. I look up for the twins but notice they are dancing with their actual dates. I it at the table as I watch everyone dance.
I feel a cold hand touch my shoulder. "No harry" Draco says as he pulls a seat and sits next to me. "He had something to do....I'm sure he would of been here if he could" I say as I look up to draco. "It's a shame...you look beautiful tonight" draco says as he turns and faces the dance floor. "I thought you weren't a dancer" I question as I look up to draco. "I'm only a dancer when I'm asked by pretty girls" he laughs as he looks at the dance floor. "Do you want to dance with me" I say as I look up to draco. He turns quickly and our eyes connect a small smile escapes his mouth. "I wouldn't mind"
he says as he stand up and take my hand. We walk to the dance floor. We hear the music as our bodies flow together. He pulls me in close as he holds my lower waist and one hand in the air. I hold on to his back as I rest my head on his chest. I hear him humming to the music as we dance slowly. His warm breath makes my spine weak.
"You know...I really hate you" he says as he moves his lips to my ears. "I really fucken hate you too Draco" I say as I keep my head on his chest. "I hate you so much I think I want you" draco says as his grip becomes tight. I turn my head and look up to him. "I want you draco...but not like this" I say as i stair into his silver eyes. "What do you mean" he says as he looks at me confused. "Harry was meant to be perfect for me...my heart was only meant to beat for him....but it doesn't want him...it wants you" I say as he smiles but that slowly disappears when he notices I'm still upset. "So why aren't you with me" he says as he brings both arms to my waist I move my hands to his neck. "I can't love a boy who doesn't believe in love" I say as I turn my head and place it on his chest again. "Gabriella" he says as I lift my head back up. "In potions...I didn't smell Pansy....I smelt you...and in some fucked up way I wanted you to smell me too...but you smelt Harry" he says as he looks down to me upset. "I didn't smell Harry...I smelt you" I say as look down. "So why does he have you and I can't" he says as he lifts my head up with his hand. "Say it...8 letters say it and I'll be yours...not his" I say as i whisper. "I want you" he says as he holds me closer. "No...not those words...tell my the one person you love the most...say it and I'm yours" I say as I look up to him. I see his eyes scan the room. He looks down and remains silent. "And that's why I can't be with you...your pride...your persona...your attitude...you are not capable of love and even you know it" I say as I let do of him and step back. "Gabriella wait" he says as he grabs my arm.
"Get the fuck off her" I hear Harry say as he storms toward Draco. "Look who showed up" draco says as the two get into each other's face. "What do you think your doing" Harry says as he looks over to me. "And you...you don't seriously think you have a chance with her...Gabriella comes from a good family...not a bunch of death eaters" Harry says as he shoves Draco. Draco shoves him back. "Fucken dickhead" he calls as the two starts fighting. "Get off of him, get off" I scream as other students bundle around. Fred and George get Harry as the Slytherin boys get Draco. Draco looks at me then Harry then back at me. I see his face is cut and his eyes are watering. "The shows done" he screams at all the people around us. "Go back to you happy lives...good families and fucken perfect girls" he says as he stumbles out of the hall. I begin to cry as I walk over to Harry. His face is bleeding and he is half awake. "Harry omg" I say as hold his head and try to clean lean the blood.
As I remove his tie I notice something.... love bites....a lot of them.....
