As the World Caves In

Skye

       With Dray gone from the qudditch team I have to choose a new seeker, which honestly seems like the smallest problem right now because the months pass and we still have to carry out the plan You-Know-Who has given us.. I hope that him quitting has nothing to do with our relationship it's probably just as he said: he needs more time to fix the cabinet. Maybe I should quit the team too and focus on helping him with the task. I'll have to talk to Dray about that but now we have potions with Slughorn. It's weird how good Harry's been in the class, he seems to be doing better than Draco... I actually haven't talked to the chosen one since the train ride here at the beginning of this school year when Draco used petrificus totalus on him and made him bleed... I don't think he forgave me for that night because I was about to help him but my boyfriend dragged me away. As I'm deep in thoughts an owl drops a letter in my lap.

    Wanna come to our joke shop sometime?:) stands in the letter sent by George. I smile to myself 'cause I'm happy that we're on good terms again although our relationship is still very complicated. "What are you reading princess?" Draco kisses me on my cheek after sitting down on the couch next to me. "George wants to see me" I answer softly as I look at the piece of perchmant paper. "Why?" Dray asks and takes a peak at the letter. "Probably to patch things up..." I respond as I close the note. I look to my right and see his eyes filled with jealousy "You have nothing to worry about" I add as I caress his face. He buries his face in my hand and closes his eyes "I trust you but I don't trust the Weasel.." says slowly then opens his eyes and looks at me seriously. "If you really do trust me it's gonna be okay" I respond calmly but my heart's beating fast because of all the possible things George could say to me.. He already admitted that he loves me how am I supposed to react to that if he says it again? "What if he uses some kind of love potion on you huh?" he says angrily. "Draco don't start.." I take my hand off his face annoyed. "I care about you for Merlin's sake!" he continues as he raises his voice. "I know that but I thought we were done with these stupid-" I try to reason with him but he cuts me off "You fucking serious right now??" he leans closer to me. "You're mine" him saying that gives me goosebumps and if that wouldn't have been enough he puts his hand on my neck gently and looks in my eyes. "So when are we visiting him?" he says  kindly and with that the mood changes, it's like he's two different people. He removes his hand from me and sits back up normally "W-What?" I ask confused with red cheeks as he keeps staring at me. And before he could answer "Guys potions starts in 5 we should go" Blaise adds as he briefly looks at us. Draco stands up and reaches his hand out for me so I take it and stand up. "I need your help with the cabinet" he whispers. "Oh umm yeah sure" I respond still not understanding what just happened. Did he just ask for my help after being madly jealous and pretend that everything's normal? He's acting weird...

     I notice that Draco started losing interest in things he used to love like quidditch, pefect duties and even studying... I'm worried about him, this whole thing should just end, I don't like seeing him this anxious and sick. I look over to him as we're making veritaserum and he looks broken-spirited which makes my heart ache, I'd do anything to see him smile. "Now the person who  can make this potion perfectly will get the felix felicis also known as liquid luck. Good luck everyone!" our professor explains. "Dray could you help me out?" I whisper to him. "I'm sorry Skye I have to win" he doesn't raise his head just looks at the potion he's brewing. Using felix felicis to assassinate Dumbledore might not be the worst idea though.. "You know we'd have more chance if we both did it as well as we could..." I try convincing him to help. "You have instructions too you can do it" he says as he throws something in his cauldron. "Fine" I respond annoyed then look around the classroom to see how far other people are. I peep back at my potions book but I give up and accept that I won't be able to succesfully make it so instead I grab a piece of parchment paper and write a response letter to George. "Miss Thorn are you done?" Slughorn sneaks up to me so I quickly hide the letter under my book. "Oh umm yeah sure" I smile at him as I know I've failed. "It's not quite right I'm sorry better luck next time" he pats my back encouragingly. "Draco lets see yours" he goes up to the boy's cauldron and tests it but the professor's face is filled with disappointment. "You didn't get it this time" Slughorn turns to Dray who's sulking quietly. When our professor goes to the next person Draco turns to me and whispers furiously "I thought you'd have at least tried!" as he gets closer. "You know I suck at potions" I defend myself as I raise my voice. "You knew this was important" he looks at me with piercing eyes and a pale face. Now he's only centimeters away from me and we're both looking at each other with anger but  from my peripheral vision I see that people start staring at us. "Some lovers quirrel?" Blaise asks smug. "Shut up" we answer syncronizhed but we keep our gazes fixed on each other. "Harry Potter that is just perfect!" Slughorn says loudly announcing that the chosen one has won the competition and with that the liquid luck. Dray eyes the boy and scoffs out of frustration. "We'll figure something out" I say softly to my boyfriend encouragingly as I too glance at Harry and the little vial he's holding. "Yeah" he responds satirical.

    After class I decided that I'm gonna talk to Harry and explain some things that might've been misunderstood between us. "Heey Harry! Great job" I rush up to him and study the vial in his hand. "Omm thank you?" he responds interrogatively and tries to leave our conversation quickly. "Can we talk?" I ask filled with hope that I can explain everything to him and I'll clear my name. "I have quidditch now-" he tries to get out of talking to me but I cut him off "Please it'll be quick."I beg him. He rolls his eyes then turns to his friends "I'll catch up" he says to them. "Okay so what did you want to talk about?" he asks the question that I don't really know how to answer. "I thought maybe you had some questions for me?" I turn it around. "There are a couple.. this one's been bugging me the most: what are you and Draco up to?" he asks straight up. "Um nothing? What do you mean?" I act like I don't know what he's talking about. "Well if you're just gonna lie we don't have to talk" and with that he walks away. I yell after him but he keeps getting further away from me. If he only wants to talk about his theory that we're planning something- which we are- then I can't talk to him. I guess he'll stay angry with me.
