BROKEN BONES

Armena Riddle-Lestrange

I watched from the forest floor baffled as Draco rans his fingers through his pale blonde hair. The tousled strands, falling in his face. 

"This never happened" his hissed, looming over me.

I watch, utterly speechless, as he buttons back up his shirt and quickly tying his green and white Slytherin tie around his neck. His touch still lingered on my skin. I could feel it like he was still holding me. The heat of his lips still present on my own. It was breathtaking how easily I molded into him. 

"What Armena?" Draco turns around, anger clear on his face. "Don't have smart anything to say?"

He lets out a low chuckle, throwing on his row and grabbing his book off the mossy forest floor. I watched, my mouth hanging open as he turns and heads back in the direction of the class. I stayed frozen on the forest floor, the confusion of what just happened running around my head. 

What even just happened? 

I don't even know what just happened. I stared at the tree where we just were, trying to rack my brain on what transpired. I was just dragged in and dumped by Draco Malfoy in the span of five minutes. I stood up slowly, glancing around. 

"Fuck..." I breathe, as I button up my blouse and smooth out my uniform skirt.

My stockings have stains on them from the dirty forest floor. I stood there in the silence of the forest, hearing the distant echoes of the class. My hands find their way to my face, as I let out a muffled scream. I rub them down my face, my eyes landing on six eyes that are blinking rapidly back at me. 

"Oh don't you look at me like that!" I hissed at the furry monster textbook.

The eyes just continue to blink rapidly, judging me. 

"Great, now I'm talking to my book! I have gone insane! He has made me insane!" I let out a forced laugh, throwing my hands up to the cloudy sky above. 

I snatched the book and my robe off the forest floor with a huff. I slowly walked back to the class, taking an empty spot near a stone wall next to a girl with curly brown hair. I take my seat on the cold stone, just as Hagrid finished his speech on the topic of today's class. 

"Please welcome Buckbeak, the Hippogriff!" Hagrid steps aside, showing off the beast to the class.

I glance over at Blaise, Pansy, Oliver, Theo and Draco as Hagrid is speaking. Draco is leaning against a large stone, his arms folded over his chest. Pansy was  clinging onto him but he couldn't even be bothered by her. He kept his eyes forward on the creature. 

What the fuck just happened?

My mind started to race with images of the moments before. I found myself clutching under the stone wall, my fingers blanching stark white. I was fucking frustrated and confused. Never in a million years did I expect Draco to do that let alone react like that once he did. 

It was infuriating, he was infuriating. 

"This is absolutely insane!" the girl beside me complains. "I read all about them this summer and they can be very dangerous creatures."

"Yeah one scratch can send you straight to the infirmary" I mutter, picking at the marks on my stockings. 

The red haired girl turns to me, as a smile creeps up on her face. Pleased that I knew that bit of information. I returned a smirk back to her, my eyes trailing up and down. 

"Exactly! It's just preposterous" she giggles and extends her hand out to me, "Hermione."

"Armena" I smile, as I shake her hand.
