chapter 44- fifth year

"you need to tell someone y/n. she can't keep doing this to you!" daphne yells as i brush through my dark hair.

it's been a couple of days now since the- the day. my scars have healed but are still painful. i cover theem up, wearing only long sleeves now. im embarrassed for some reason. embarrassed that she does this to me. embarrassed that i can't do anything about it.

"daphne, people already know. teachers even, did you see the fight umbridge had with mcgonagall?"

"yeah, but only like blaise, draco, and i know." daphne respond gathering books from the floor.

"and harry. he probably told ron and hermione."

"the mudblood? potter and weasley? why would they know?" she asks turning to me as she places the books neatly in her bag.

i scoff at what she called them, and sigh.

"he had to do lines with me one time."

"oh." she clears her throat and swings the bag over her shoulder.

"well um, let's get to class then we already missed breakfast."

i nod and we walk side by side down to potions.

i notice my sleeves are pulled up to my elbows and quickly shove them down to my palms.

i walk in and take my usual seat, draco still sits beside crabbe and blasie still sits beside me.

as i take out my books i feel a light tap on my shoulder. quickly i spin around to see neville staring back at me.

"neville? you're in this class?" i ask, surprised to see him.

"yeah, i sit in the front over ther- anyways harry wants to talk to you at free period in the library."

"oh, okay. tell him i'll be there." he smiles at me before walking over to his seat.

i turn back around and slump down in my chair. i push some loose hair behind my ear and glance up to find draco staring at me suspiciously.

i wave slightly at him and he stares at me a second more before turning his back to me. okay then.

as class starts we are told to retrieve ingredients for our potion. i stand up along with a few other students and walk over to the crowd gathering around the ingredients.

when i get there i rummage through some bottles trying to find the right on.

"here." a voice from beside me mutters, i move my head slightly to see draco holding out a bottle to me.

i smile and grab it but he doesn't release it from his grasp, instead pulls it closer to him, making me stumble towards him.

i quickly look around to see if anyone's looking but surprisingly they are all to caught up in there brewing to notice.

"draco?" i whisper.

"why does potter want to see you?"

"school."

"you told me that same thing last time y/n."

"it's still school." i mumble trying the bottle from his hand.

"sure, okay." he utters and drops the bottle into my hand, before walking off. quickly i catch it before it falls to the ground.

i run a hand through my hair and grab some other ingredients then i walk back over to me seat. still annoyed with draco's attitude.
