Is this how it feels? To have someone you care for so dearly... leave? I'm not sure. But I know I have to talk to her again.

How had I come to rely on this boy so much? How had I grown to care and trust him? I'm not sure. But I kno...
Daniel rushes of going to find Madam Pomfrey. She still hadn't spoken a word since we had arrived in the library. She was still shaking, as well. I wanted to know what happened in there, I knew it wasn't just the scars on her arm bothering her, but I wasn't sure how to ask. Whatever happened, she was upset about, and I didn't want to hurt her more. But part of me had to know. I was furious that someone could do this and even worse, how could someone do that to Layla. The most, kind, forgiving person I had ever met, and yet here she was with me, a Slytherin. She didn't deserve anything she had gotten. I had to know what happened. I had to protect her. I promise to myself that I will never, ever let anything horrible happen to her even if it comes down to my life. I had never cared about someone enough to think that before, but now I knew.
"Layla," I whispered just loud enough for her to hear, "what happened in there?" She paused thinking about it for a moment,
"Apparently," she paused, thinking again "Umbridgeisallowedtouseunforgivablecursesonstudents." I gave her a confused look implying I couldn't tell what she was saying. She sighed "Umbridge is allowed to use unforgivable curses on students," I shot up from my seat next to her shocked.
"S-SHE WHAT?" I yelled, feeling eyes on me,
"Draco," she said quietly pleading "please sit," I sat back down but not before earning a glare from the librarian and various other students. I looked at her concerned, but she just gave me a weak smile in return.
"Which one's?" I whispered, dreading what she would tell me. Either way, she probably felt shit now, but I felt like I needed to know.
"Imperius," she stopped, letting out a sigh "and Cruciatus." My heart sunk, I opened and closed my mouth, but nothing came out, so I pulled her into a hug. She didn't hesitate.
"She. is. fucking. crazy." she said, beginning to cry again.
I whispered the only words that came to mind,
"I'm so sorry."

I feel the tear start streaming down my face again. God, why did he have to make me feel like this so safe, make me think I can let down my guard. But he did. I barely know him. Why? Why can't I talk to Daniel or Elanor like this? Why him.
I felt my tears dry, still wrapped in Draco's arms.
"Thank you," I whispered, he pulled away, and I felt myself smile, but not like before, a genuine smile. I was happy.
"What are friends for?" he grinned back at me, I felt my smile grow longer, I was glad we were friends, no matter all the rumours, the boy I knew was amazing, and nothing like what others claimed. We are friends. I pulled him into another short hug, he smiled. I wasn't sure Malfoy was used to hugs, as he flinched slightly but eventually hugged me back.
"I should probably make sure Daniel isn't lost or something, he does that a lot," I said, It was true Daniel probably was lost, but I wasn't leaving just because of that, I was now finding it difficult to his the smile on my face and the blush rising in my cheeks.
"Ok, bye Sunshine," he said cooly,
"Sunshine?"
"Cute, isn't it?" He smirked, I could feel the blush rising in my cheeks.
"Ok then," I walked out of the library, "bye, Malfoy."
God, what was this boy doing to me?
A/N - Hi for the probably no one who is reading this. But if there happens to be someone reading, thank you so much, also please vote, It would mean a lot.
Here is Layla's timetable. It probably isn't very accurate, sorry about that.
