The Only Exception

My Only Exception

I sat on one of the chairs in the slytherin common room. Everyone were talking to eachother and chatting. I looked around and saw him laughing with Crabbe and Goyle. His laughs always makes my day.

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts

Does my laugh makes his day too? I walked over to them and greeted them goodmorning.

"Morning Pans!"

I love how he calls me Pans, it's a nick name he gave me when we were 11.

I only gave him a faint smile since I'm not feeling it.

"Something wrong?" He asked.

"Oh, nothing it's just lack of sleep."

I don't wanna tell them my family issues. Being pitied is the most humiliating feeling ever. If I get ran over by a car I would be more worried about the pity looks people give than my injuries.

After we finished eating at the Great Hall we headed straight to potions. I have a great passion for potions, I remember when I was younger me and my parents-

My whole body twitched just from remembering the word parents. This action alarmed Draco who was right beside me.

And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
But keep a straight face

"Are you sure you're okay Pans?"

I tried my best to keep the tears that were threatening to fall down on my cheeks. What happened? I was just okay earlier. I thought that I could just move on but obviously not.

My vision is starting to get blurry from all the tears building up in my eyes, until I finally let it flow down my pale cheeks. I'm tired of keeping all my problems to myself. I quickly wiped it all off to not make a scene. I put on a straight face and focused on the proffesor.

I can tell it suprised Draco from how his gaze still hasn't averted from my direction.

The class was over and Draco dragged me outside the class room.

"Pansy, something is clearly not right."

Draco never shows his soft side to anyone except me. Maybe I'm his only exeception in that matter.

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now

I couldn't help it anymore and burst out crying. Draco covered me with his arm and robe considering it was a dumb idea to have a break down in the Hallway where dozens of students are walking through.

He took me to the woods and sat me to a tree root.

I had sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness,

I told all of my sorrows to him and he listened to every word I said. I just couldn't keep it all to myself anymore. For the past years I never told anyone about a thing. Until now.

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

I didn't think that he would actually listen to me. Instead I thought that he would just tell me to move on and forget about it. The wind blew a breeze of relief that made my hair fly on my face.

He swayed my hair to the side and tucked it behind my ear. I looked at him saw him giving me a genuine smile.

And there I am again, falling in love.

But, you are my only exception.
