Draco's POV

My eyes soon adjusted to the warm welcoming scenery that was Hogwarts, but this time it was different like a dark cloud was looming above my head. As I took my seat in the great hall I spotted Amara laughing alongside Blaise, Theo and Pansy, I took in a deep breath feeling a sting of jealousy take over me, but only for a second before my attention was rudely taken over by Astoria placing her hand on my thigh.

"Hey babe, why haven't you touched your food?"

"I'm not hungry" I gritted my teeth as I placed my hand onto the the table.

Throughout the whole time Dumbledore was doing his welcome back speech and the sorting hat was doing the same stupid song it does each year, all I could focus on was Amara. The way her brown hair cupped her face elegantly and the way her robes fit tightly in all the right places and that smile that goddamn smile that makes me weak at the knees. The thought of her around other guys was enough to make my blood boil, I was consumed by my thoughts that I didn't even realise her beaming brown eyes staring at me and her mouth moving in slow motion but I couldn't make out what she as saying and that was when I slowly felt my heart break as Theo placed his arm around her shoulder and slowly brought her closer to him until their lips were touching.

With that I felt my hand slam against the table as I quickly got to my feet heading out of the great hall and down to the dungeons. I could hear the faint voice of someone calling after me but I was to angry to turn around to see who it was, as I frantically mumbled the password and wooden door started to creak open, it hadn't even opened fully as I pushed my way through and up the stairs to my dorm slamming the door behind me forcing a loud echo and some of the stuff on my desk to shake slightly. I couldn't think straight as my hand which was already in a fist pounced onto the wall in front of me and in that moment I was numb I couldn't feel the fresh blood tickling my hand as my fist continued to hurt the wall in front of me. I would have continued to if it wasn't for someone ripping my hand away, I couldn't think straight I was so full of anger that in that moment I wanted something or someone to hurt as much as I did that as I turned around I punched whoever as trying to help me, but as soon as I did it I instantly regretted it.

"Shit...s..hit! Amara! Are you..are you okay?"  I stuttered as I saw blood linger on Amara's lip, I wasn't sure who's blood it was but I needed to clean her up.  I quickly grabbed her and pulled her towards the bathroom and hectically turned on the hot tap grabbing a cloth before wetting it under the water and beginning to gently dab at her wound before I looked up and noticed the worry in her eyes.

"I....I lost control I didn't for this to happen you...you got in my way"  I said whilst putting the cloth down on the side.

"You lost control?!  Over what you were just sitting there and the next thing you were storming off and punching a wall"  She questioned as she crossed her arms

"It doesn't matter!" 

"Yes it does Draco you can't just storm off and have a tantrum whenever you feel like it Astoria is out there worrying thinking she has done something wrong"

"I SAID IT DOESN'T MATTER!!"  I screamed at her but she didn't even flinch

"Merlin ever since summer you have become so hard to read!  Is it because you feel bad for Astoria you know with us sneaking around"

"No I hate her you know I don't want to be with her she's annoying and stupid and ju-"

"THEN WHAT IS IT"

"I just can't do this anymore I don't need anymore distractions I have to focus this year"  I said whilst looking down at my shoes which had suddenly become really interesting.

"Draco if you think you can get rid of me that quickly then you clearly don't know me, I'll see you soon."  She winked as she started to walk out of my room.

"Stay away from me Amara I mean it, you're dead to me"  I said as she turns around looks me up and down and scoffs  strutting out of my eye view.  Why can't she see that I just want to protect her.  I slipped my shoes off as I brought my head up staring at myself in the mirror that was mounted in front of me, why did I do that I knew it was a dumb and I knew that by me saying that I had probably just lost her but I couldn't have her know about my task let alone that I'm a dreaded death eater.  When I had been given the task in hand Voldermort gave me direct instructions not to tell anyone the less people that know the better I cannot and will not let anybody stand in my way.  I sighed and made my way out of the bathroom and towards my bed taking off my shirt and trousers.  I picked up the round tablet on my bedside table and the glass of water before placing the tablet on my tongue and taking a sip and throwing my head back and swallowing it, I laid back letting the duvet engulf me in a warm hug and slowly allowing myself to fall into a deep sleep.  I haven't had a decent nights sleep in ages and I needed all the help I could get if I wanted to make The Dark Lord proud.
