NEVER HAD SHE GIVEN INTO her emotional needs and urges before, and here she was, unable to control herself, involuntarily allowing tears to slip past her lashes and down her cheeks.
It was like her mind was thoroughly and utterly messed up; for Ophelia Malfoy was so used to people hating her and triumphing when things went wrong for her, that when someone actually cared for her, it made the pain all so much more unbearable, reminding her that this was the exact reason she didn't want friends.
She hadn't even let Colin in yet. She was pushing him away from herself, stopping herself from getting attached and going through future heartbreak. Yet she got hurt even by pushing him away, which just went to show her exactly how hard heartbreak could be.
If she felt pain by pushing people away as well, how much would it hurt when she got her heart broken?
The answer, although not spoken out aloud, was mentally ringing through her head as she wiped her eyes.
Infinite pain.
"Malfoy, wait, I.." Colin began.
"Leave me alone," she said coldly, turning around. "I don't ever want to talk to you again."
"But—"
"I said leave!" Ophelia snarled. "I write one letter to my father and you and your brother will be expelled from here, never to be heard from again."
"I'm really sorry," Colin said softly. "I didn't know about—"
Ophelia, who was in no mood to be given pity, or to hear his apologies, stood up and turned around, leaving that isle of books, storming angrily through the library to the restricted section to get to her safe haven; the secret corridor that became home to her.
It was there that she broke down fully, crying quietly to herself, silent tears pouring down her cheeks. It hurt so much. Three years of trying to build up her emotional walls, only for them to come crashing down the moment she let someone even get remotely close to her.
Of course, she wasn't even behaving civilly with Colin in the first place, treating him like he was beneath her after how much he'd helped her, but she was a Malfoy; she couldn't just let anybody in. Let alone a mudblood. But then again, it was a filthy mudblood that was the only one nice enough to actually not treat her like an evil being.
But what hurt her the most was her actually trying to get close to him, considering to let him in; only for him to interrupt her and assume he knew everything about her family and life.
She cried that she'd hurt Colin and he hurt her, she cried about the ordeal with Theodore last night, she wept about what Ginny and Mariana said about her, and sobbed because Draco only cared for her because Lucius had ordered it to be so. And above all, she wrenched her heart out that Lucius Malfoy was not there to help her get through it all and save her from this terrible nightmare.
