walking down the hallway with my best friends, harry, ron, and hermione, i laughed at one of ron's silly jokes. we've all been best friends since first year, and we've had the craziest adventures together over the years.
i used to get made fun of a lot for being muggle-born. draco malfoy and his friends would always say something cruel.
but deep down, i feel like draco's different. like he's actually kind and sweet, but just too proud to show it.
and maybe, unfortunately, i caught feelings for him..there's just something about him i can't explain.
as we walked into the great hall, i stood beside harry—until i suddenly felt someone shove my shoulder.
"watch it, you filthy little mudblood." i heard draco's voice behind me. i sighed as hermione pulled me away from him, letting him walk past.
"i don't get how you like him." ron muttered as we sat down.
"leave her alone. it's her feelings." hermione said, pulling me into a side hug.
i smiled at her. "thanks."
"come on, it's almost midnight. let's go?" hermione asked, standing up.
we all nodded and got up from the table, leaving the great hall with the rest of the students.
we walked up the stairs and into the gryffindor common room. everything was warm and cozy, full of people chatting and laughing.
hermione and i went upstairs to the girls' dormitory.
"hey, do you really like malfoy?" she asked, closing the door behind her.
"yes... but he hates me. just because i'm a muggle-born." i said, sitting on my bed.
"it's okay. i really ship you two." she giggled.
i threw a pillow at her, and she threw it right back. we both laughed before getting ready for bed.
as i laid down, ready to fall asleep, i suddenly heard shuffling.
"hermione?" i whispered loudly. she didn't move.
i threw a pillow at her face. she shot up, rubbing her eyes.
"what is it?" she asked.
"shh," i whispered, "i hear something."
we both grabbed our wands. just then, the door burst open.
it was bellatrix.
"bellatrix!?" i gasped.
"hello..." she cackled, then suddenly threw a spell at both of us. everything went black.

when i woke up, i sat up slowly, looking around at the dark stone walls and chandelier above.
i was in malfoy manor.
i saw lucius, narcissa, draco, and bellatrix standing near me.
"well, well, looks like she finally woke up. julia patterson." bellatrix sneered. i looked around but didn't see harry, ron, or hermione.
"where are they?" i asked.
"in the cell." lucius said with a smirk.
"w-what do you want?" i stammered.
"do you like draco?" bellatrix asked. i didn't say anything.
she grabbed me by the jaw.
"i said, do you like him!" she screamed.
i nodded quickly. "yes." i whispered, a tear sliding down my cheek.
"very well. draco likes you too. but he needs to focus on being a death eater. draco, take her to the room." bellatrix said, shoving me toward him.
he caught me and gently grabbed my arm.
once we were in the hallway, he grabbed my hand tightly.
"i'm so sorry..." he whispered. tears fell down his cheeks.
i wiped them away with my sleeve. "it's okay..."
just then, the door opened. narcissa came in and pulled draco aside. bellatrix stormed in behind her, laughing as she shoved me to the floor.
she yanked up my sleeve.
i felt a sharp pain in my arm. i screamed.
bellatrix kept going, laughing as she did.
lucius entered the room, smirking.
i stopped screaming. bellatrix stood up, still laughing.
"filthy little mudblood." she spat, then kicked me in the side. i groaned and looked down at my arm.
'mudblood' was burned into my skin.
i looked up and saw narcissa.
she rushed over to me. "i'm so sorry, sweetie. draco's crying—he heard your screams. i'm going to help you escape. please don't tell anyone."
i nodded quickly. she helped me up, and we ran.
"i already let the others outside. draco's with them too. let's go," she said.
we hurried out of the manor. i saw hermione, harry, ron, and draco waiting.
hermione ran over and hugged me tight.
"are you okay? i heard you screaming."
i nodded.
ron and harry pulled me into hugs, then draco wrapped his arms around me.
"julia, i'm so sorry." he said.
i laughed softly. "it's okay."
"go, quickly!" narcissa called. we ran, leaving the manor behind.

professor snape healed my arm and let me go.
"julia, i'm sorry." he said quietly.
"it's okay." i replied.
as i walked out of his office, i saw draco waiting in the hallway.
he pulled me into a hug.
i smiled, hugging him back.
"i know this is probably the wrong time..but i really like you. and i wanted to ask...would you be my girlfriend?" he said.
i smiled, my cheeks burning. "yes."
he grinned and kissed my cheek.
