YOUR POINT OF VIEW

             I looked over and saw Greengrass getting a little handsy. She was playing with his hair and everything. Then I saw Draco kiss her. No. As if I wasn't already hurt enough? He does this? I felt tears gathering in my eyes. I felt a hug from behind, and looked behind me to see who it was. "Y/N I'm so sorry. I don't know what's gotten into him." Said Blaise. I hugged him back and started to cry. "I-I just need to-" I started to say. I hugged my shoulders and held my head down so that people couldn't see that I was crying. I walked briskly out of the great hall and ran into an empty classroom.

"Y/N?" I recognized the voice immediately. "Go away Malfoy." I said. "Malfoy?" He asked shocked. There was a subtle hurt sound in his voice. "Why are you even mad? You're the one who cheated on me and fucked Potter!" He said back. "Oh my god! How many times do I have to tell you! I didn't cheat on you. We slept together before you and I were even friends." I said.

DRACOS POINT OF VIEW

Of course. How stupid must I have been to think that Y/N would ever cheat? Fuck. I forgot. I kissed Astoria. "Y/N, I can't believe I thought you would cheat on me. I trusted that Greengrass over you, and it was a huge mistake." I said. "Yeah Malfoy. That was pretty fucked up." She replied. "I know. I know I messed up big time. I kissed Astoria. It meant nothing. I wanted to get back at you. Believe me. It meant nothing! She tasted like grass and I kept my eyes open the whole time. And she was a horrible kisser." I said.

             "No yeah. It's cool. Believe a random girl over your girlfriend. You know what? Go right ahead! And maybe while your at it, you can kiss that sorry bitch too! What a grand idea!" She said quite loudly. "Y/N... I didn't mean-" I started to say. "No. You know what Malfoy? It's not fair to me. I'm constantly fighting to keep this- what we are, alive. But you just keep messing up. And I'm so fucking tired. I just want to rest for one day. It shouldn't be this hard to love. Right? It shouldn't feel like I'm constantly fighting? Malfoy, I don't think we can keep- Malfoy, I want to break up." She said.

             My world flipped with that one sentence. "You- want to break up?" I said. My voice was quavering. She nodded sadly. "You're right. It's not fair to you." We both nodded and walked our separate ways.

YOUR POINT OF VIEW

             I wiped all of my tears away and decided to go to the astronomy tower. I climbed up the stairs and reached the top. All the happy memories with Draco that I made there. All- gone. I saw a figure standing at the top and facing towards me. "Ah. Ms. Y/L/N. I had the feeling I'd see you here." Said Dumbledore. "Sir?" I questioned him. "I believe you have a great deal of questions that you want to ask. But if possible, I'd like to only answer one today. My time is needed in the ministry shortly." He said.

             I thought for a minute or two. "Sir, why does it hurt to love someone? Why is it so hard?" I asked him. He smiled and nodded. "Ah. Love. The people's most powerful weapon.  You know Harry only survived Voldemort from his mother's love. But motherly love and a romantic love is different. You see there's a difference. You may love your fiends, but you are not in love with them. To be in love with someone, you have to fall for them. That is why it is called falling in love. A leap of faith. Sometimes the strongest of loves aren't simple. Sometimes you need to fight for it. Because it's only when you fight for something, when you have your victory. Do you understand what I'm saying?" He said.

             Simply put, I was in shock. Those were probably the most profound words that I've ever heard in my life. "Yes. I understand Sir. But I think I need to take a little rest first." I said. He nodded and smiled before walking away. I walked over to the railing of the astronomy tower, and extended my arms out. I tried to imagine that my worries were drifting off with the wind, but I felt like my worries would only deepen. I took a breath of the warm spring air. Spring break wasn't too far away. I've no where to turn to. My house is no longer a proper home, and Draco and I, well- we aren't Draco and I anymore. Maybe with some luck, Mrs. Weasley would invite me over again this summer, but I didn't want to intrude.

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted. "Y/N?" I turned around suddenly and smiled. "Oh hey Blaise." I said. "Are you alright?" He asked. "No. W-we broke u-up." I replied in between unsteady breaths. He hugged me tightly. "I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch." He said. "No. I broke up with him." I responded. "What what?" He questioned me. "It was just so hard to love him, and I think I just needed a break from that. But I think I made a mistake." I said. He broke away from the hug and said "Well Draco is a bit of a handful. I don't think he's ever loved anyone before, so he might not know what is right. But I think his heart was in the right place." I smiled and started to laugh a little.

"What's so funny?" He asked. "Turns out all Slytherins are soft." I giggled. "Y/N if you mention any of this to anyone, you're fucking dead." He said laughing. "Anyways, 5th years are having a party in the room of requirements at 11:00 pm tomorrow. See you there?" He asked. "Sure."
