PART TWO
waking up from someone lightly shaking me, my eyes flutter open.
i sit up, rubbing my eyes, seeing hermione and ginny.
"wake up, come on, let's get ready!" hermione says, holding her hand out.
i reach my hand out to hers as she helps me out of bed.
"you have bags under your eyes." i hear a voice.
i turn around, seeing ron and harry leaning against our door.
"very funny, ron." ginny rolls her eyes as the boys laugh.
"i'm just kidding. you look great, but the bags ruin it." ron says as hermione kicks him in the leg.
he groans in pain.
i laugh softly at him as the girls hook arms with me, walking out of the common room.
ᨒ
sitting down at the gryffindor table, the girls talk to me about random stuff while ron is stuffing food into his face.
"so, are you gonna talk to him?" harry asks.
we all turn to look at the slytherin table, where draco is staring into space while blaise tries to get him to eat.
"yes." i say, my heart racing.
"well what are you doing? go." ron says with his mouth full of food. i look at him, disgusted, and flick his forehead before leaving the table.
i walk over to where draco and blaise are.
blaise looks at me and sighs in relief.
"thank god you're here. he hasn't slept all night or eaten." he whispers to me. i sigh in disbelief, tapping draco's shoulder.
he lifts his head, turning around. his eyes light up as he quickly stands.
"come on." i say, grabbing his hand and dragging him out of the great hall. we make our way to a staircase far from the others.
i pull him next to me as we sit in the courtyard, with a few other students scattered around.
"you can start explaining." i say.
"okay so, it was a few weeks ago. the boys bet me to date you and make you fall in love with me. and i said to them when i make you fall in love with me, i'd snap like that. then when i started dating you..you changed me. i realized i love you so much. i cut off the bet, but i still feel guilty. after that, i hated myself. i would do anything for you to be by my side." he says.
i grab his hand, bringing it into both of mine.
"well, i'm forgiving you this time. one last time or we're over." i say.
he smiles and pecks me on the cheek.
"let's go before we're late to class." he says with a big smile, grabbing my hand as we run off to class.
