Chapter 8

' Shit', I thought as I once again saw Malfoy quickly turn around and dissapear around a corner. I start walking faster hoping I'll catch up.

It's been a week since that day in the tower and Malfoy has been avoiding me,
always arriving late in class, skipping dinner and going the other way everytime I run into him.

And tomorrow is the day school ends so I won't be able to speak to him for another two months.

' Don't get me wrong we all need a break after what happened, with Voldemort's return and Umbridge's bullshit. But I, I want to talk to him, I won't even deny it anymore.'

Hermione has been worried about me too and Ron is still sulking a bit about what happened at the party between Hermione and Parkinson. Neville has been avoiding me and Ginny keeps giving me glances and honeslty, it freaks me out.

I sigh as I give up on finding Malfoy again.

'For merlin's sake', I mumble to myself as I quickly hide behind a corner because Potter was walking in that corridor.

' I know it's pathetic but what else can I do, I mean I've been avoiding him, so what? People avoid people all the time and for way more pathetic reasons than this.'

Is what I've been telling myself for these past few days, but it'll be over soon and then I can't go back after this summer, I'll be stuck to whatever my father wants me to do for forever. So that means no Potter, no fun, no freedom. But I'm protecting them I have to, who knows what would happen otherwise.

I realize I've been standing there behind that corner for who knows how long, muttering to myself, and sigh, hoping all of this will end soon.

I forgot where I was going to so I make my way back to the common room hoping to find Pansy or Blaise, being extra careful not to run into Potter or another one of the Gryffindors, because who knows what he could've asked them.

Sometimes I wonder what it could've been like being put in Gryffindor or being born to another family, don't get me wrong I love my mother and my friends but I just wonder you know? Like would I still have met my friends, would I have less responsibilities, would I be free to do what I want?

But I usually quickly get rid off these thoughts, I won't ever know so why would I make myself miserable over it.

I finally arrive at the dorm and quickly say the password to go inside and immediatly freeze when I see what is happening inside.

OK so I first of all want to apologize, it's been a hectic start of school (cause I changed schools) and I've been putting this off for a while now, but i've fully settled in at school and am kinda finding a doable schedule but with art projects for school and personal ones I've been pretty busy, so I'm sorry, I do have some new books planned but they're not from this fandom, they're a haikyuu fic, a bungou stray dogs fic and a boku no hero academia fic is being (vaguely and roughly) drafted so if any of you are in one of these fandom's let me know.
