Forbidden Love

Chapter 13

"Well, I have had the most wonderful day with you all, but I'm pretty tired. I think I'll go back to the common room for a bit and take a nap." I give Ramona and Eleanor a hug, but before I can turn around to tell the twins goodbye, Fred reaches down for a hug and sweeps me completely off my feet, swinging me around in a circle. 

"If you ever want to see the secret passages in the castle, you know who to ask. I'd love to take you sometime."  I blush at his offer and give him a tight squeeze before he places me back on my feet. George wastes no time and immediately gives me a side hug. "I had a great time with you too, gorgeous. It should definitely be a tradition of ours now," he says running a hand through his hair. I bite my bottom lip shyly, feeling nervous for the first time today."It's a date every Saturday, I promise."

As I'm walking away I turn to look back at Fred and George and I blow them a subtle kiss. Fred acts like he catches the kiss and puts his hand to his cheek. George holds up a set of heart hands as I flash a big smile and continue walking into the castle.

I arrive at the common room to find it completely empty. Five minutes of peace. Thank God.

I make my way to the bigger sofa, slide of my sandals, and lie down. I lay there on the couch, staring at the Slytherin graffiti artwork that's plastered all over the ceiling, and begin to slowly drift off to sleep.

2 hours later..

I wake up to see that the common room completely darkened. 

Holy shit what time is it..

I reach down to grab my pocket watch from the ground. 6:18 pm. 

Damn, I was tired as hell. I dart up from the sofa to slide my shoes back on, then I go up to my room for a moment to touch up my make up before going to the dining hall for dinner.

I enter the common room again to see Draco and Mattheo coming down the stairs that lead up to the boys' dormitory. I assume they're going down to eat dinner as well. I avoid eye contact with them and hurry over to the door to leave when I hear one of them clear their throat, in an effort to get my attention. 

I turn around to look at them, completely annoyed at this point, and furrow my eyebrows as if to say, "Can I help you?"

"Why so tense, Haynes?" Draco sternly questions. 

He knows I fucking hate when he calls me by my last name..

I stand there in silence, completely ignoring what he just asked me, but I quickly decide to lash back, anger rushing all over me.

"What are you, my father?"

I walk over to stand directly in front of him looking deep into his grey eyes, searching for the nice guy I spoke to  a couple days ago. Draco takes a step back and shifts his gaze, scowling down at me. "Chill, Eden. It's just a question. Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?"

Mattheo stands away from us, watching closely. I grab Draco's tie and pull him down so that he's eye level with me. I look into his eyes once again and whisper to him so that Mattheo doesn't hear me.

"When you want to make something real out of this and stop messing with girls that give it up so easily, you let me know.. Malfoy. Until then, fuck all the way off." I release my grip on him so fast that he almost falls backward into the wall behind him as I angrily make my way to the door. I hesitate to leave like this so I turn around to look at them both once more. I tear falls from my eye and I quickly wipe it away so that they don't notice. 

"You know.. I'm not going to be like these other girls to you, to both of you." I shift my gaze from Mattheo and back to Draco. "I had high hopes for something, a friendship, or whatever the fuck this is, but you'd rather run through the entire fucking school."

I sniffle finishing my statement as they stare at me intensely. "Is this a fucking joke to you? Playing with females like they're pieces of meat? It's fucking sick if you ask me." I wait for them to say something, but I realize that what I just said means absolutely nothing to them. I shake my head and let out a hurtful, but sarcastic, laugh and proceed to exit the common room.

Tears begin to flow from my eyes like a waterfall now. Why did I let myself fall for both of them?

I instinctively knew their reputations when I first laid eyes on them. Nobody had to warn me, and I should've talked myself down. What almost happened in the library was a huge mistake. I can't let my feelings for them reach the surface any longer. If they want me, they're going to have to prove it..

Wait until they find out I'm a virgin..
