Chapter 8

I watch him walk away...I was still in shock but I couldn't help but smile as I raise my hand to my cheek where he kissed me.

His mood swings were out of control but am not gonna lie...I loved them

As am still thinking of Draco I make my way to the great hall. I walk through the side entrance and Blaise comes up to me right away.

"You sure you're okay?"

"Yes Blaise like I said before am fine," I say as I hug him "Thanks for being worried"

"What kind of best friend would I be if I wasn't" he nudges my arms with his elbow

"Who said you were my best friend?" I say laughing as we start walking out of the great hall "Can't you see I have a line of people waiting to be my friend"

"Oh yeah for sure, that's why if it wasn't for me you would always eat alone," he says as he also laughs as he puts his arm over my shoulder

"Am too cool for them can't you see?" I say sarcastically with a wink towards Blaise

"We are too cool for them" he corrects me

"Oh yeah for sure"

"Elizabeth" I turn around to see Harry "can we talk now...in private?"

"Sorry scarhead but we have somewhere to be," Blaise says as he pulls me closer to him

"It's okay Blaise it shouldn't take long" I respond

"You sure?" He questions me as he turns to look at me

"Yeah...am sure, I'll catch up with you in a bit," I say to ensure him that he can leave

He stares at Harry for a second before he walks out of the great hall...leaving me and Harry behind

"Get on with it Harry," I say as I cross my arms

"What you said yesterday...did you mean it?"

"What do you mean?" I question him with a confused look on my face

"You said that you also felt the connection that I felt"

Those words shocked me...I didn't remember saying anything but he wasn't lying... l did feel something, though I wasn't sure what it was.

"Look Harry I was drunk...I don't remember half of the stuff that went on that night"

"I need to know if it's true," he says quickly

"Why is it so important?"

" your father, Elizabeth... he shows up in my dreams. It's like he's always in my head" He says as he pulls me away from a group of kids walking out of the great hall "I started to wonder why...and if you also experienced it"

"Harry I don't want to speak about him...I think I should go" I say as I turn around

"No please Elizabeth, this is important" he reaches for my hand

"Harry I said no!" I yank my hand from his grasp "My father doesn't deserve one minute of my time...plus I have other stuff to worry about than him!"

"Like what!?"

"Like Draco, Harry, he is on my ass 24/7 and people are already assuming things about me because of my father... it's mentally exhausting," I yell before I walk away from him and make it out of the great hall

"Go out with me" I hear Harry says behind me

"What?!" I questioned him as I stop walking

"I said go out with me" he repeats himself as he grabs my shoulders and turns me around to look at him " it will keep Draco away...and we could spend more time together to figure out what is going on without it being suspicious"
