We move automatically. There's no questioning or arguing between us as we move. Everyone is here, but Blaise. Blaise is never here anymore, but if Anna is gone, then he'll show up.

As I said, we move automatically, with no thoughts, just usual movements. Our usual seats is waiting for us. I sit next to Anna Stewart, and Lorenzo Berkshire beside the devil himself, Draco Malfoy.

It had been quiet for a long time that the silence felt deafening if it wasn't for the students outside our compartments talking.

I throw a glance at Malfoy. He stares back at me and I frown slightly.

"If no one is going to speak and Zabini isn't here to make me laugh, then I am leaving your boring arses", Anna says as she looks at us all, expecting someone to keep her from going to find her boyfriend, Edward Prescott.

She leaves with a disappointed sigh as I stare at the beautiful brunette sitting before me. He's zoned out for a second before noticing my stare.

A year ago, maybe even a few months ago, I would back down from the staring, but not this year. Not now.

I want to stare at him until he backs down. I am done with Lorenzo staring at me until I blush hard. I despise it and love it all at the same time.

He tilts his head slightly to the side. I could swear it means he accept my 'challenge'.

I anticipate his next move and smile slightly at him.

"Bella."

A soft familiar voice breaks my concentration.

Blaise Zabini is sitting right next to me, smiling and looking confused at the same time. I look back at Lorenzo, "I win", he mouths.

I frown. Then I look back at Blaise, "Zabini. What's up?", I murmur, sinking deeper into my seat.

He leans in and whispers, "Montague. Next door."

He smirks and I look over to Malfoy and Lorenzo, they're both staring.

"Just do it", Blaise says.

"Do what?", Malfoy says, his voice is hoarse.

"Montegue is next door", Blaise chuckles at his mate and shakes his head somewhat as he does.

"So?"

"So, I am leaving", I answer, almost annoyed at Malfoy's presence. He hasn't said a word to me, but I am annoyed.

"No. No, you won't."

I stand and cross my arms over my chest, eyeing Draco Malfoy down from my standing point.

"Or what?"

"Mate. What's your deal? Just let her go", Blaise interrupts.

I look at Lorenzo. Even he looks annoyed.

"Sit down."

I don't move.

"Make me then."

"I could, you know", he smirks slightly, and I am suddenly very aware of Blaise and Enzo's hot gaze while it is burning my side as they watched.

"I'll just leave."

I walk out before he could stop me. Seconds later the same door I came out from opened before closing harshly. And before I could throw a look behind my shoulder a voice hisses into my ear. Draco's front presses up at my back,

"Walk."

He pushes me down the corridor and abruptly he pins my back against a cold wall.

Draco's face is less than an inch from mine. He wraps one of his hands around both of my wrists over my head. He places his free hand on my throat, slowly choking me.
