"I need to talk to you, now".

Why the fuck was Blaise Zabini at my dorm room at 3:05am.

"Blaise it's three in the morning can't it wait ?" i yawned.

"No." He said grabbing my arm tightly dragging me with him.

"Blaise your hurting me." i yelped as his grasp got tighter.

"Just shut the fuck up Isabella".

Who the fuck does he think he is ?

He dragged me to the common room and pushed me onto the sofa near the fire. I rubbed my wrist where it had a red mark off how tight his grip was. Blaise sat down on the sofa opposite and put his head in his hands. I hadn't spoken to Blaise since before the holidays, and it wasn't exactly the nicest conversation we've had.

"so," i coughed,

Blaise looked up at me with tears in his eyes, "Look I need to talk to you and i know we aren't exactly friends but this is important so can you let me speak".

I nodded as if to say go ahead and he took a deep breath before opening his mouth to speak.

"It's Malfoy, he hasn't been himself lately and i mean before today he's been acting really strange and i can't seem to figure out wh-"

"No Blaise i am not going to sit here and talk about fucking Malfoy with you, no way, i'm going back to bed because clearly this conversation is useless", i scoffed standing up and turning around about to make my way back to my dorm. Did he really just wake me up to talk about Draco Malfoy ? What is he playing at.

"No, wait please Isabella you don't understand, he's been talking about you ! I wouldn't of came to get you if it didn't involve you but it does, i don't-"

"Me ? He's been talking about me ?" i said confused turning to face Blaise.

"Yes, you, please just sit down so we can talk about it".

I walked back to the sofa near the fire and slowly sat down, but this time Blaise sat next to me. He took another deep breath and began to speak again.

"I've been at the Malfoy Manor all summer and you know what Draco and I are like, we have nothing better to do than hang around in Dracos fathers cellar where he keeps the alcohol. And you know once we'd have a few drinks, every now and then when Draco would be drunk, erm he'd erm. Well he'd just talk about you. Like obviously me and you had just split up at the time and he used to always talk about other girls like Pansy and stuff. Say we should go all out if you know what i mean. Don't get me wrong he says stuff like that when he's sober, but when he's drunk, it's just you, your all he talks about".

I gulped "Oh well i'm sure it's nothing, I mean I barely speak to the boy, and i'm sure he's just joking around. Even i know Draco jokes around about stuff like that". I hadn't realised it but i had started shaking, i felt really light headed too.

"No you don't understand he-", Blaise looked down at my hands and realised how much I was jolting. He grabbed both of my hands and held them in his, then looking back up at me and continuing what he was saying.

"It's when he's stoned too, you know, the muggle herb cannabis ? Well when me and Draco smoke a bit of that he non stop talks about you too. And well, it just upsets me because it gets him really worked up but at the same time he's supposed to be my friend and he's supposed to respect me but once he's got something in his system all that goes out the window. I still really care about you Isabella." he started to tear up now.

I looked into his eyes my hands still shaking.

Silence.

Awkward silence.

The only thing that could be heard was the crackling fire as the common room was completely empty, as it should be at this time in the morning.

"I care about you too Blaise, I really do, but you know there can't ever be a us again. It just didn't work. And i will look after myself I promise." I sighed putting my hand on his cheek to wipe away a falling tear.

"i know i just want you to be safe Isabella, and make good choices. We can talk about this another time, it can wait, just speak to me when your ready,".

He caressed my hand and then stood up walking me towards my dorm. He was such a gentleman, but when i was with him it just, it didn't work. I couldn't be with him. Not again.

When we got to my dorm he gently placed a kiss on my forehead, followed by a smile, and then like that he was gone.

I crept back into my room quietly shutting the door and climbing back into bed. My mind started racing with thoughts again. I had so many questions, it's only the first day back at hogwarts. Why is my life so fucking complicated. I fell back asleep, that did not stop the thoughts filling my head however.

"Isabella, wake up for god sake!".

I fluttered my eyes open to see Pansy stood looking over me.

"What time is it ?" I groaned.

"8:45".

Shit. First day back and i've got fifteen minutes to get ready.

I climbed out of bed and got ready for the long day ahead. After I had put my robes on  I stood in front of my mirror to see if i looked presentable. My long dark brown hair was wavy from the night before as i had previously had them in scalp plaits. My makeup was quite simple, just some mascara and lip gloss as i barely had time for anything else. I put my lipgloss into a pocket in my robe and grabbed my books making my way out of my room.

I didn't have time for breakfast, so straight to potions it is.

As i stepped into Snapes classroom i could feel his eyes on me.

Dracos eyes on me.

I walked towards the back of the classroom and placed down my stuff trying to focus on the lesson. But i couldn't concentrate, knowing that he was looking at me made me feel nauseous. Like i couldn't breath. All of a sudden a piece of paper lands on my desk, i look at Draco to see him raise his eyebrows at me.

I sigh carefully unfolding the note making sure Professor Snape doesn't notice.

Meet me at the Astronomy Tower
11pm sharp
Don't be late
D.M

I could feel myself start to shake and goosebumps cover my body.

Shit.
