Pity the living- slytherin boys

Back from holiday

Alice's pov

"Hi Dray." I peck him on the lips.

"Hi, darling." He kisses my forehead. "How was your holiday?" He starts a conversation.

"Fine. I mean... it was difficult, with Cheryl not being here and everything... but I enjoyed seeing Ella." This is awkward. We left to the holiday in a fight. This feels kind of weird.

"How was yours?" I ask.

"Fine. The ball was awful. Because... he was there. But, fine."

There is a sort of awkward silence between us for a few moments before he speaks up again.

"Alice, we need to talk. We left each other in the middle of an argument."

Bloody hell, I don't feel like having a difficult conversation right now.

"Yes, we do," I look around and see Tom, "but, I need to talk to Tom first." I begin walking away.

"Yeah, sure. Go talk to Tom, or Nott, or Mattheo, or Berkshire, or anyone you bloody want instead of your boyfriend." He scoffs. I messed up.

"Sorry, Dray. I really need to talk to him." I keep walking towards Tom who os having a conversation with some girl.

I wrap my arm around his and pull him away to walk with me. "We need to talk." I state.

"You just ruined my chance with her." He raises his voice at me as much as he can do she can't hear.

"No offense, Tommy, but what chance?"

He rolls his eyes.

"Wait. Did you just use me to get out of a conversation with Malfoy?" He questions.

"Yes. But also, how did the experiment go for you?" I change the topic of conversation.

"I had to get it out of me at a certain point." I stop walking to look at him.

"You got randomly stunned constantly too? Like... like it effected your body?" I look up at him with large eyes.

"Yes, but not only that. I appirated with Nott at a certain point, and it affected him too. After we appirated, we both immediately got stunned. Only that once, it didn't affect him afterwards. It was like because he was 'inside' my magic for a moment, it eaffected him in that moment." That's incredibly strange.

"Do you think that maybe... if someone were to catch a curse... it will have the same effect?" I question.

"I think if someone was to catch the killing curse... it will have an awful effect. Like... they would..."

I finish off the sentence for him, "Like they would slowly die. Like if they were to appirate with someone else, they would both die." I say.

"And they would almost die at random times, like we were stunned at random times." He adds.

"Meet me tonight in the room. We could check things out, as well as for the curse." I whisper to him.

"I can't. I'm quite sick."

Just then I feel a tap on my shoulder, and I turn around.

"Let's go talk." Dray grabs my hand and pulls me to an empty corner of the castle.

"Dray, there is nothing to talk about, you made your choice already, I can't do anything about that. So, I'll just have to deal with it." I tell him as we stop walking.

"So you're okay with it?" He questions.

I roll my eyes, "No, I'm not bloody okay with it, but, you're right. It's your life, and as long as you don't get in my way, I could deal with it."

He lets out a big breath of worry. I think he was holding it the whole holiday. "Good. I won't get in your way. I love you."

"I love you too, Dray." I grab his jaw, pulling him for a kiss.
