Draco POV

She had ended the spell when she saw me looking in the frozen pond, where my sister had fallen through.

That was the day father started resenting me, more than he usually had anyways.

He had always blamed me for that.

Mother argued it wasn't my fault, but she was too torn apart to bother with it much.

But it was my fault, I let her come with us.

"You didn't block me out." (Y/n) said quietly as she looked down at me on the floor.

"I couldn't." I said as I gathered myself and stood up.

"Draco.. I'm so sorry." She tried reaching for me and had put her hand on my arm.

"You should go get ready for Astronomy. It'll be cold at the tower."

I shook her arm off of me quickly.

"I'll meet you up there." I lied to get her out of my room already.

"Okay."

She gave me a gloomy look as she left the room, she probably knew I was lying.

She was good at that, knowing if I was lying or not. It was frightening sometimes, how perceptive she was.

I didn't show up when class started, of course.

I knew she'd be looking for me. I felt bad, really, I did.

But I didn't want her to see me cry, and that's not something that would ever change.

I refuse.

It's stupid, and weak.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been a few days since (Y/n) saw my memories.

It was November 8th today, to be exact. Our next occlumency lesson.

I knew I was hurting her.

I knew I was being unfair.

Every fucking time she sees something horrible she wants to comfort me.

It's hard enough letting her see it in the first place, but for her to be so open towards me? I couldn't get used to that, she wouldn't be around forever.

No one ever is.

It hurts not being able to be the person she needs me to be. I didn't deserve her.

She doesn't deserve this.

A loyal death eater's son, and forced occlumency lessons? No. She didn't need this at all.

But she's always been the person that understood me when even Blaise hasn't, and I couldn't just let her go.

These past days she hasn't pushed me to talk, or tried to comfort me at all.
