His Dark Princess

Chapter 18

I woke up with a big pain in my neck. And I remembered what Draco had done to me, I woke up in a different room. In someone's bed, I got scared. I got up and I noticed that I was in the Gryffindor common room and I was in Hermione's room, I headed down and I saw Harry sitting. "Good morning, Harry!" "Good morning Athena." I sat next to him and I noticed he was acting a bit weird. "Are you okay?" I asked, "oh yeah." And I remembered he looked disappointed when I didn't tell the others it was him who I was about to kiss. "Harry.... Uh, you sure you don't want me to tell the others, it was you? That you and I were going to kiss?" "BLOODY HELL, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Harry and I both turned around to see Ron. no no no no, he heard! I didn't want him to find out like this, indeed I didn't want him to find out at all. "No. Ron, we can explain." "There is nothing to explain, Athena. You have always been jealous of me, you never liked that I was close to Harry and Hermonie. You used him to get to me, didn't you?" I couldn't believe him. I was never jealous of him! Maybe a little, he would always get ALL the attention. from our friends and our parents. I was always the odd one in the family, getting into Slytherin and being friends with Elvira. "Are you kidding? I will never use Harry and Hermonie!! They are also my friends." "Oh really? Then what are you doing kissing my best friends and making Hermonie hate me?" What! I couldn't believe him. If I wanted to kiss Harry, I could. "I never kissed Harry and if I did. SO WHAT? you aren't dad and I can kiss anyone I want, I never made Hermonie hate you! It's not my fault she's finally happy and you can't accept it. Just face it, Ron, I'm better than you and I will always be." I was leaving when Ron decided to say something that I will never forgive him for. "No wonder mum and dad, don't care for you, being a Slytherin made you a different person." As he said that I started to cry and I went back to where he was and I slapped him. "HOW DARE YOU. I'm your sister! You don't get to talk to me like that." I looked at Harry one more time and left them. I got to the Slytherin common room and I haven't seen Elvira at all, I wanted to go find her. I was looking for her but I ended up finding someone I didn't want to see. Draco. I wanted to scream and hit him for what he did to me but I couldn't after what Ron had said to me. "Athena.." I didn't say anything to him, I just looked him in the eyes. "Are you okay?" Why, why would he ask me that question after what he did to me. "No." I said I needed someone to talk to. "You can talk to me, you know?" "Malfoy. Are you being for real? After what you did to me, you think I'm going to talk to you?" He just looked at me and didn't say anything, he looked sad. I stayed there waiting for him to say something, and he didn't, I was about to leave when I felt him reach out for my hand and turned me around. I fell in his arms and cried my eyes out, I hated him but I needed someone. We stayed like this for a while, when he decided to get up and take me to his room. His room was neat and really dark. I sat in his bed and he offered me a glass of water, "here.." I got the glass of water and our fingers touched. I looked up at him and he was blushing, so was I. "tell me. what happened?" I decided to open up and tell him, I knew he hated me but talking to someone who isn't my friend was nice. When I told him, he was surprised that Ron had said that to me. I got up from his bed and started to check his room out. "Who knew Malfoy had other colored clothes!" I said as I walked out of his closet, I was surprised to see that he not only had black suits in there. He laughed at me and said, "I guess, you will be surprised when you find out a lot of things about me." I walked to his bed and sat down next to him. Our knees were touching and I felt him get closer and our faces were near each other. I knew he was about to kiss me but I couldn't let him, I knew he would use me like other girls. His lips were almost by mine, I pushed him away. "I- I'm sorry, I can't do this." "Why? Because I'm a Malfoy? As he said that I didn't know what to say. "Uh, No... My family would never approve of this and I can't just be another girl you're going to hook up with then forget about." As I was saying that I walked to the door and opened it but he closed it and blocked my way. "So that's what you think of me. Like everyone else?? I have always thought you were this pathetic girl because of your family and I was wrong, you proved me wrong. And it's not me to be saying this but it's the truth. I have never met anyone who had proved me wrong until I met you." As he said that I felt my heart in my throat. I took his hand and hugged him, I felt as if he was going through something. He hugged me back and we talked as if we have been friends forever, we opened up to each other. I told him how I was always treated differently from the family, how I was always the troublemaker of the family, How I never liked to do the same thing my family did and he opened up to me about him growing up in the Malfoy mansion. I have always wanted his life to live in that beautiful mansion but after what he told me, how he had grown up. I have felt bad for him and I knew he has always wanted to be accepted.
