Chapter Twenty-Two
I woke up sweating. It seems like I had been thrashing around in my sleep. Like I had a bad dream.
I sat up fast. Was that all a dream? Did I really go out with Dean? I broke out in cold sweat. What did Dumbledore say about my parents?
I jump up and get tangled in the sheets and fall flat on my butt. I move around to try to get away from the blankets.
"Do you need help?" I hear Luna say in front of me. I look up at her and laugh.
"Yes help would be nice."
Luna pulls the blanket away from me and I'm able to get up.
"What happened yesterday?" I ask her.
"We had a hogsmeade weekend." Luna explained.
That proves it! But then..my parents really are missing.
"You served detention with Snape." Luna said.
"I did?" I asked her all confused. Then it came back to me. I had to clean his whole entire office. All the fumes must of gotten to my head and gave me the bad dream.
I sigh in relief. I'm thankful its all a dream. I mean I like Dean and all but not more than a friend.
I made my way down to breakfast. There was nobody there however.
That's weird. How long had I been asleep? Why didnt they wake me up?
My thoughts grew short as I saw who was standing in one corner staring at me.
"Malfoy?" I say. He comes out of his shadow and makes his way to me.
His eyes look so dull. Wrinkles around his mouth show that he hasn't smiled in days. His normally perfect hair was a mess.
"Where is everybody?" I ask him.
"Its a hogsmeade weekend. They made it a two-time thing." Draco says.
That explains why noones here.
"What are you doing here then?"
"I have detention with McGonagall." He explains.
"Oh." I don't say anything. I realized he was very close to me. I hadn't been this close to him since he left.
He moves even closer and his hands slide along my arms.
"Victoria."
I gasp at his touch and his voice when he says my name. Without thought it seems like, he leans in to kiss me.
My mouth lit up like fireworks. I wrapped my arms around him and pressed myself into him.
He pushes me up against the wall, digging his body into mine.
He runs his fingers through my hair and along my back.
"Vic..." he moans. He pushes me away.
"What?" I ask, confused.
"I can't do this." He confessed.
"What can't you do?" I was a little slow from the kiss.
"I can't do this with you. If he found out...I can't put you in harms way." He says.
"What if I don't care?" I say getting angry.
He lets out a humorless laugh. He locks his eyes with mine.
They hold back emotion. On the outside they were cold and hard.
On the inside they were begging for someone to save him. I wish I could save him.
He dips his lips onto mine again, engaging me in a slow kiss.
"Whose there? Oh...." a person says. We jump apart and see Seamus standing there.
"Uh...." Seamus is speechless.
Draco sends me one more look, holding it for a few seconds, then walking away, past Seamus.
I slide against the wall until I'm sitting. I couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seamus comes running over. He sits down beside me, pulling me into his arms.
"Shh. Its ok Victoria."
I just shake my head. Its never going to be ok if Malfoy isn't mine.
After a while I stopped crying. I wiped the remaining tears off my cheeks with my sleeve.
"Thank you Seamus." I whisper. Feeling brave and bold but also stupid, I leaned up and pressed my lips against Seamus'.
****
This was mostly just a filler chapter. It marks the beginning of her relationship with Seamus.
I didn't like the serious chapter before and the direction it would have gone in so I twisted it around.
There will be a big time change in the next chapter..so don't be alarmed. Thank you!!
