The Only Exception

I Gave You The World

  
  
I silently sobbed at the corner of my dorm. I've shedding these tears since I ran out of DADA crying. I placed a locking spell at the door so that nobody can get in, not even Dapne nor Millicent.

My pale skin shone as bright as the moon making its way to our dorm through the black lake. The giant squid swoosh by a couple of times. I get weirdly giddy and happy whenever it shows it's presence but now even the giant squid can't fill the void in my heart.

A knock on the door echoed through the quiet dorm.

"Hey Pans, it's me."

I face lit up for a second hearing his voice then I remembered he was also the one that caused all of this.

"W-what is it?" I stuttered under my breath.

"Would you mind if you let me in?"

At this point my heart would tell me to open the door while my mind would say the opposite. But this time both of them are telling me to open the door.

I opened the door and saw his grey eyes pierce through my soul. But it wasn't tough and sharp, it was rather soft as if he's darting through to reach my heart.

"H-hey," he greeted.

I lit up the candles in the dark room so that the dorm would look more cozy than the empty void it is. I made some tea and poured the hot liquid in his cup that I prepared. I sat across from him in our table by the window.

"So why visit at this hour?" I asked while taking a sip from my teacup.

"Well your friends are nagging me to make amends with you so that you'd open the door." My heart dropped from his response. "And of course, to clear the air between us." I looked up from my  cup to see his soft glare.

I stayed silent gesturing him to elaborate more.

"I guess you've heard it, well how do I say this-"

"You kissed Hermione didn't you?" I cut him off.

"I don't where you got the part that I kissed her because everyone knows she was the one who kissed me." He said defending himself in a calm and peaceful way. "It makes a huge difference Parkinson."

"I can't believe that Mudblood's lips touched mine." He spat the sentence like poison.

I looked at him with relief as he takes a sip from his cup.

"How would I know if you're just saying that?"

"If you don't trust me then you could ask the whole house."

"How would I know if you blackmailed the whole house?"

"Then it's up to you Pans, I'm afraid a man could only do such to redeem himself."

He got on his feet and marched to the door when I grabbed his hand.

"Stay."

I looked down for my thin bangs to hide my eyes welling up with tears.

He came back and got to one knee to level with me. He gave me a smile and wiped my tears away. I sniffed from the sight of him smiling at me.

"Can I just be yours?" I asked in between sobs.

He nodded which made me more tears fall down my cheeks.

"It's fine even if you're not mine I just wanna be yours." I added.
     
    
   

"But I'm already yours."
   

 
 
And that night, the world became mine.
