Rediscovering Reality

You Wanker

Theo's POV

We landed with a thud and I felt the world begin to rush around.

People shouted and I stepped back from Hermione.

I saw her family rush to her all of them hugging her.

Loving her though they had met her only today.

I heard a slight sigh of confusion come from behind me and I turned around.

I came face to face with Draco.

He stood there as if waiting for me to explain.

He was here-that meant he had come and talked to Blaise.

He hadn't talked to me.

He hadn't even tried.

So much for best friends.

I glared at him.

After he had run away leaving me to salvage the ruins of Blaise and his broken family.

Of my dad losing my mum.

I went to the trial.

I sat two seated over from him.
I hugged him and his mother.

I told him I would be gone with Blaise for a bit. He said that he would find us in a few days.

Then he didn't come.

I'd dealt with his I'm better than you attitude for years then when he finally saw truth he proceeded to pretend he didn't, not just to everyone else.

To his own bloody best friends.

He said he had a reputation to uphold.

But everyone in a while he would slip up and I would see him be kind.

Sometimes for only a second.

I looked at him and he looked me in eyes asking for an answer.

Me not wanting to give it to him.
Not because I couldn't.

Because it wasn't my right.

It was not my story to tell.

He looked at me and folded his arms across his chest and sighed.

Looking disappointed in me.

I didn't care though.

I did the one thing I had wanted since a cold day in the middle of February in our fourth year.

When he told a girl that she wouldn't amount to anything.

He didn't have to.

No , he could have scoffed and walked away.
He could have said she should run back to her boyfriend. He could have done so many things that would have been only slightly mean.
