It's Okay, Draco

Chapter 72

Easter break was arriving fastly, I have already told Draco that no matter if my father replies or not, I want to go with him to the Manor.

I'm definitely not staying at Hogwarts, not with all this rules and punishments around here, I knew for sure I would be safer at his place, where he would be, because I only feel safe when I'm with him.

The classes with the Carrows have gotten worse than ever before, if I wasn't fearing to be punished than I would proudly miss my classes.

The days have been warming at least, I spend all my day looking at my window, watching the Black Lake, listening to the water, it was like being inside of it, a calming and relaxing sound, but a person can be sick knowing is most probably the all thing she is going to see during the all weekend, fearing to leave the room.

So instead of being locked in my dorm, at least I went to the common room hoping to find there Draco or Blaise.

Of course, none of them was there at this time of the day, but instead there was Charlotte, sat in one of the couches near the fireplace.

I sent her a smile as I sat near her, and locked at the fire place seeing the flames burning the wood, warming and illuminating the room we were in.

"Hey." She said softly. "How are you doing." She asked softly.

"I'm doing fine, how about you." I asked, to be honest it feels odd to speak to Charlotte like this when once everything was shared between us.

"Yeah I'm fine." She said, and a awkward silence was placed between us afterwards.

None of us were making eye contact, actually, both were looking to something to focus the gaze on, to ignore the silence that was between us two.

"What happened, Charlotte?" I sighed. "What happened to the two inseparable best friends that we were?" I asked looking up at the high ceiling.

"I could lie and say that I know but...I don't." She said firmly. "I miss when we were always gossiping." She said, letting out a small laugh.

"Yeah, it feels like yesterday..." I said, looking back to previous years, when we would talk the all day.

"Remember the day we met?" She asked softly.

"Oh how could I forget the day we got lost." I said amusingly, both of us laughed at that.

It was sad to remember those days, the days where I thought that life is a fair thing, I had the best friendships, at least I thought I did, I had my mother, but there isn't such thing as fair in this world, those days, were the days where I was blind.

"Who would've know why would end up like this." Charlotte said in a melancholic tone. "Remember when I was always pressing on you to get a boyfriend." She said amusingly.

"How could I forget." I said and let out a laugh along with her.

"How is Malfoy by the way." She said softly, and I could tell that she really intended to know, not just because to look good.

"He's fine, thanks for asking." I said softly.

"I..." I could see that she was eager to ask me something, but didn't quite know how. "I apologize for some things I said, I wasn't really in me." She said in a firm tone.

Is not the best apologize, but thinking in Charlotte it's probably the best I can get from her.

"Don't worry about it...we say somethings that usually we don't really meant." I said softly.

She nodded slightly, and I gave her a smile, I can't say wether she is regretted or not, or perhaps she's regretted for losing our friendship but not from saying the things she said, I can't really distinguish.
