As the World Caves In

addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Skye

   After my breathing goes back to normal and I calm down I see my brother and George in  front of me and I can feel the train moving. "No one saw me, right?" I ask with my face buried in my hands. "No, from the outside you looked normal, maybe a bit more quiet than you usually are, but you're fine." responds my brother. "I should go find Draco" I say and my brother looks at me confused "Will you be fine with him?" he asks concerned. "I gotta keep up the facade and I always sit with Draco and the slytherins, If I don't they'll know something's up" I explain as I get up but I lose my balance and get light headed so I grab on to the cabin door. Fuck I hate being weak. "Alik do you have a spell or something to make me feel better?" I ask out of  desperation. "Sorry sis, you'll just have to rest to recover." he says sadly so I exit the cabin to find Draco. I go right and start seeing slytherins so I keep looking for Draco and when I find him I see that he's sitting with Blaise and Pansy. Pansy's sitting next to Draco which is weird I don't know if whether or not I should be bitchy about it or just leave it. "Hi guys" I greet them. I don't make a big deal out of it and just sit next to Blaise. "Hey Skye" says Blaise. I try relaxing but Pansy's flirting with Draco and it makes me kinda mad. "I really like your new ring Dray where did you get it?" Pansy asks while caressing his hand, he also never calls Malfoy Dray she's clearly trying to replace me. "It was a gift from Skye" he says proudly, smiling to himself and as he says that Pansy's smile disappears.

   The rest of the train ride is quite uneventful, Draco doesn't really look at me, Blaise and I talk and Pansy's sulking, everything's back to normal. When we arrive, I gather my stuff and quickly get off the train. I see my friends from gryffindor but I can't go there I have to stay with slytherins for the sake of Alik's plan to work. We go to our dorms, settle in. I take out my brother's shirts that he gave me and put one of them on when it's only me in the dorms. The whole school is still really excited about the Triwizard tournament, I don't care for it, I'm not surprised that Harry is somehow participating, he is the chosen one after all. But should I tell him about You-Know-Who? Maybe I could warn him. I'll think about it. As I'm unpacking I see the enchanted coin and the necklace that I got from Dray. I put the coin in my pocket and I put on the necklace. I go down to the common room when I hear someone saying my name: "Hey Skye!" I look in the direction of the sound and I see Draco. "Can we talk?" he asks as he comes to me. "Sure, what's up?" I ask. "Oh you're wearing the necklace I got you, cool. Anyway my parents found out what happened yesterday and there's a rumor that it was your brother who did it not your dad" he says. "What? That's crazy, why would they say that?" I ask in disbelief. "Probably to save your father and blame it on someone else, they needed a scapegoat." he says thinking. "No they can't blame Alik, it will ruin our plan.." I respond. "Plan?..." Draco looks at me confused but I don't wanna have this conversation right now so I go to the couch and I hear Adrian ask Blaise: "So Zabini club meeting tonight?" and Blaise answers by saying: "Definitely, Skye you coming?" he turns to me. "For sure, I missed it" I answer with a small evil smile.

    We gather in the evening and go to the Room of Requirement so that the training can commence. We pair up and start close fighting, which means no wands. I pair up with Pansy and I couldn't be happier beacuse we're up first. I signal come closer with my hands to her, she takes a few steps closer to me and I throw my first punch to her stomach while dodging her hit. I can hear people cheering for me. I quickly step back and wait for her to make a move, she tries to kick me but I grab her leg which makes her lose balance and she falls on the ground. I can see anger in her eyes as she stands up and starts throwing punches at me rapidly. I dodge most of them but one of them hits me in my arm, where my cuts are which makes me groan and that makes her happy. She keeps hitting me in my arm but I gather all my strength, even though I'm pretty sure my wound is bleeding again. I dodge her next jab then quickly kick her in the stomach which makes her fall back. I keep up the punches, she falls on the ground, I kick her  once again in the stomach but much harder this time which makes her cough blood up. I want to go in for another kick but the boys stop me and pull me to the side. I feel a hand on my shoulder so I quickly turn around get ready to throw hands but it's Draco I see standing in front of me. "What are you doing here?" I ask surprised. "You can't take your anger out like this!" he says furiously. "Like that isn't what you do, don't try to play the saint Dray!" I lash out at him and start leaving but Draco grabs my wrist turns to me and whispers to me: "You're bleeding again, couldn't you just take care of yourself?" the snake on my necklace starts hissing and moving "You don't have the right to tell me how to protect myself, why are you even here? I don't understand you!" I yell at him. "Because I care about you Skye. I thought you knew that already. I don't want you to get yourself killed, okay?" he shouts back at me and kisses me. He puts his hand on my face but I just say: "What are you doing?" softly. "I wasn't lying when you tried the potion, which means you didn't lie either." he smirks at me and kisses me again I kiss him back but I pull away from him and run out of the room. I start running to the dormitories, I use my bracelet to signal Alik that I need him. When I get to the dungeons I see my brother sitting on a couch looking anxious. "I'm sorry" I whisper as I set foot in the room. My brother catches me as I lose my balance and start falling to the ground. "Fuck, Skye the only thing that you should've done was to stay out trouble and let your wounds heal." he says angrily and as he starts healing my wounds Draco walks in and looks at me in shock.
