His Dark Princess

Chapter 20

We had ended the fourth year, it was summer break and to be honest it wasn't the best. Since my family found out I got into Slytherin, everything has been weird and it feels like I don't belong here. One night, I was in my room reading a book and Ginny entered my room. "Athena, dinners ready. You better come down, mum said you can't be like this." I haven't eaten dinner with the whole family, I would skip dinner or wait till they were all asleep. I decided to go down, I didn't like mum being upset, as I was going down the stairs, I noticed Hermione and Harry were here. "Hermonie! I've missed you." I said as I hugged her, "uh, hey, Harry!" Harry and I haven't talked in a while after I found out he had a crush on me. It was a bit weird because we were going to kiss and I knew Ginny had a crush on him. We all sat down and I saw sitting next to Ron, Ron and I were still not on the best terms. We would talk here and there but not like we used to, "Dear, how was school? Mum asked me "It was good! I've made friends and they are wonderful." As I said that the twins and Ron laughed, "What's funny, guys?" They didn't say anything and I had enough that they couldn't accept that I made good friends, I got up from my chair and put them in their place."Can't deal with the fact that I have finally made friends and that I'm happy?" They all looked at me shocked, I was never the type of person to have an attitude. Mum was the only one who said something to me, "Athena, please don't do this now. We have guests." "Really, mum? I say that I finally have good friends and they laugh" I said pointing at the guys, "And you get mad at me? I'm finally happy and I have good friends. They can't accept that I have friends, they never did." I ran to my room. No one came up and checked up on me. I decided to stay there the whole night and avoid everyone. I fell asleep when my owl woke me up and had delivered me a letter. The letter was from Draco and he told me to meet him at Hogsmeade. I thought it must have been important, since it was very late and he would send me a letter, especially to my house. Draco and I didn't talk that much since I didn't want any of my family members to say something about it.

I decided to get ready, I put on some sweats and a hoodie did a messy bun, and added some light makeup since I didn't want him to notice I was crying. I was going down the stairs and I was trying to be as quiet as possible. "Where do you think you're going, Atena?" I jumped and turned around to see the trio. Great. "Nowhere, I need fresh air and I need to clean my head."Before they could say anything I had walked out the door. I walked to Hogsmeade and I was trying to look for Draco when someone grabbed my waist and pulled me to a dark alley. I knew it was Draco by his hands, he pulled me against a wall. "Hey Athena, I see you're used to this" he smirks. I laughed and put my hands around his neck, "Oh Malfoy, only if you knew." He was laughing and leaning in closer, I started to lean in as well. Our lips touched, the kiss was very passionate and it lasted a long time. He tasted sweet, like apples. I was never a big fan of apples but after this kiss I sure was. We pulled away and we stared at each other's eyes, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that!" I didn't regret kissing him but I knew I shouldn't have done it. "No, Athena. It's fine, I wanted that to happen." He did? "You did?" "Yes. This doesn't sound like me but I do enjoy hanging out with you, I'm at a really dark place right now and you bring a different view to my life!" As he said that I rushed our lips together once again. We decided to walk around and talk, "What is this? that we are doing." I asked. I didn't want to be another girl, he spent time with, I actually wanted to have something with him. "I don't know. I like you... A lot. But I'm bad at these things, this may actually be the first time I'm serious with someone." I was surprised that I would be the first person he was serious with. "Don't worry Draco, we will work on this together." I noticed I called him Draco for the first time but It seemed as if he didn't notice. " Yes, together," He said as he held my hands.
