The Divinity of Duality - d.m.

Year 4 Part 12

Half way up the stairs to the astronomy tower I felt the skin on my feet break. The strap had carved a dent into my foot to the point of breakage. I undid the straps pulling the hellish things from my aching feet. I left them on the stone step, reminding myself to get the on the way back down. My legs ached as I trudged up the last few steps, allowing my eyes to scan the room. I caught a glimpse of platinum blonde, allowing my eyes to focus on him. He stood by the gaping hole of the tower, it allowed you to see the inky black sky dotted with sparkling jewels. Hogwarts was dark and blanketed in shadows, only a few dim lights twinkled down below. I walked over and stood beside him. His expression was unreadable as his eyes focused on the night sky and his pale hands gripped the bar in front of us, knuckles turning alarmingly white. He had discarded his robe and bow tie leaving him in just a crisp white shirt and black trousers. A few buttons of his shirt were undone, showing a peak of his broad chest. I let my eyes roam around his sharp angular face and chiselled features. His eyes were a baby blue, clouds of grey covered them only letting a few beams of blue pass through. 

"Millicent." He greeted, not turning to face me.

"Malfoy." I said back, willing my eyes to turn away from his porcelain features. "I suggest I just get to it then." I coughed, trying to act casual as if my anxiety wasn't gripping my heart tightly making the thumps sporadic and lack rhythm.

"Great." He drawls, a sarcastic edge to his tone.

"I don't know what willed you to call me a... slut." I hesitated to say the word, saying it made me want to bash him to a pulp, "But I assume you were frustrated so I'm willing to look past it."

"I-" He attempted to cut me off.

"No Malfoy, I'll do the talking for now. Cedric is good for me and I need you to stop looking at me... the- the way you do." I struggled to describe it.

"And what way is that?" He drawled, luring me. 

"Like you want to rip my clothes off and murder anyone who touches me." I snapped, disinterested in his games.

"And what if that is what I wa-"

"Well it can't be!" I cut him off. "You're important to me but we- I can't. I'm with Cedric and-and it's safe and comfortable." I stammer, shifting me weight from foot to foot. He whips his head around to face me. His eyes a whirlwind of emotions, impossible to depict.

"I don't think you want safe or comfortable." He stated, his eyes penetrating mine, a slight scowl on his face.

"Don't tell me what I want-"

"Tell me, do you think about me when you're with him?" He questioned, a sinister smirk tugging at his lips.

"Shut up Malfoy." I murmured.

"Do you think about me when he holds you?" Malfoy continued, ignoring the anger building on my face.

"Shut up Malfoy." My voice rising slightly.

"Do you think about me when his kisses you?" Malfoy let go of the bar turning his full body to face mine, looming over me.

"Shut up Malfoy!"

"Do you think about me when he fucks you!" Malfoy shouted.

"SHUT UP MALFOY!" I screamed, slamming a fist against his chest over and over. He doesn't flinch for a moment, rage evident on his face. As I plummeted down my fist once more he grabs my wrist harshly. His grips cuts off the blood to my hand, making it go numb. 

"You make me crazy and I hate you for it." He seethed, pulling me by the wrist so our face are inches apart and I can felt hot raged breathes fan across my face.
