The Cursed (Draco Malfoy)

Betrayal

Jade:

Neville stares at Luna from across the Gryffindor table. Ginny and I talk quietly about our D.A. Meeting. The Great Hall is quiet. No one is laughing or joking around. Everyone eats with their heads down. Snape stares down at us, his face full of malice. The Carrows walk up and down the lengths of the tables. I feel Draco before I see him. My heart thumps harder and my breath catches. I get chills up my arms and I know it's him. He pushes open the door, he looks older than the last time I saw him, his hair flops in front of his eyes, his stance spews arrogance, an egotistical smirk graces his smug face. Blaise follows behind him. Ginny lays her hand on mine and squeezes my fingers. He strides to the Slytherin table and sits at the front, never even glancing our way. I look at him and expect to feel the love I once did. The admiration I had always felt. But instead I feel Disgust. Betrayal. Anger.

Draco:

"Glad you're back, Draco." Goyle slaps me on the back roughly. I glare at him. Bloody Brute.
The Slytherin House is in full party mode but I can't focus on what anyone is saying. I sit on the leather couch wishing I could disappear. Everything is a bore to me now. I can't believe I'm back in this fucking school. Millicent hands me another drink. It's probably my fourth or fifth. I close my eyes and let it numb my senses. Millicent grazes her fingers up my thigh. She leans in close to me. Her eyes are dark, a thirst for power in them. I know she doesn't care about me, has no desire to get to know me, but she may be able to entertain me for a bit. My vision blurs but I see a dark dress and long pale legs walk up and sit across from us.
"Malfoy, I see you fucked up a good thing. No surprise there. Where's Jade?" Pansy questions.

"You're such a nosy, twit Pansy." I slur at her. "Who cares where she is? She just wants to save the mudbloods and those filthy muggles." I spit. "But you know who doesn't? Who doesn't want to change me? Make me into some kind of saint?" I wave my drink around and it sloshes out onto the wooden floor.

Pansy rolls her eyes at me.

"Millicent! Millicent here likes me just the way I am." I finish. "Don't you?" I ask her. Millicent leans in and kisses me. It tastes wrong. Like mead and metal. But I don't let it bother me. I sink into her arms and she strokes my hair. Pansy stares at me with disgust. "Wow, glad to see you're doing so well Draco." She says sarcastically.

"Don't act better than me, Pansy. Have you told Blaise you love him yet?" Her cheeks flush red and she looks around for him.

"Nope, just another year of chasing him around while he screws other girls." I laugh wickedly.
Tears pool in her eyes. I smirk at her, glad to have hit a nerve.

"Fuck you, Draco. You don't deserve Jade." She says as she stomps off.

"I KNOW!" I yell after her, throwing my glass on the hardwood floor. Millicent jumps beside me as the shards sprinkle around our shoes and liquid hits the couch.
"Come on, Draco." She says, pulling me off the couch. "Let's go to your room."
