my slytherin

draco's pov

Draco's point of view:

...Something was getting on the train. I could tell that they were tall and cloaked but no more. I could feel the glass colder by the second. All of the students were looking outside the window.

"Luna, what happened? We can't be there yet, right?" said a girl with brown hair and ice-blue eyes.

I remembered her. It was the Astronomy Tower girl. She was the Ravenclaw one, the mudblood one.

"No... but it must-" answered her friend but stopped in the middle of her sentence. She was looking something behind the girl. I looked behind the girl to see a tall hooded figure I hadn't noticed before.

I knew what those creatures were. My father had told me all about them and their uses in the Ministry. They are called Dementors and they are sometimes used as a punishment to the traitors who are found guilty. That's because Dementors have the ability to suck someone's happiest memories and leave you with nothing but the worst. Sometimes this might be even fatal in which case it is called the Dementor's kiss.

I could feel the symptoms myself. It started with a cold body then moved on to a cold heart.

It seemed that the girl wasn't aware of what was behind her but she still felt there was something. She turned around to face the Dementor. The girl levitated a few inches off the ground towards the Dementor with a motionless face. I hadn't ever seen a Dementor sucking someone's memories before but I was sure about what he was doing. The girl could hardly do anything at all, except try to scream. However, no sound of cry would come out of her half-opened mouth.

I looked at her .

The symptoms of the presence of the Dementor were still there. In the darkness of it all, I can still remember a sound coming from the back of my head. It sounded like a stick hitting on flesh. Then a slap and a body falling on the bookcase. 

Everything was ready to turn black when...

I looked at the girl's face. It was light and bright. Like she was wearing a golden and silver crown. It is a feeling that I still hadn't explained to myself. I didn't even know her but I could feel her energy getting all over me and creating the feeling that we were always together.

After a few seconds the Dementor left the girl, she was ready to fall. I knew I didn't have to let her fall.

I automatically got up to prevent her from falling down. There were many questions bombing my brain but there was only one out smashing the others: What would my father say if he learned that I touched a mudblood? But I had no choice now. And, I swear to God, I never regretted what I did, ever in my life. I pulled the beautiful girl away from the Dementor and lifted her up before I sat back to my seat, as he went on to the corridor. I placed her head in my lap. The girl had fainted.

I looked at her pretty face.

And at the same moment, every sorrow that I previously felt was gone. The only light inside the darkness was her face. I couldn't take my eyes off her. I touched her cheek, her skin was so cold that I was afraid she was dead.

The Dementor got out of the carriage and in a minute, the train started to move again.

"Let her go..." I raised my eyes to see her friend, that blond girl, talking to me. She was called Luna, I think. She looked very worried, of course, but at the same time I noticed something bitter in her look. It was like Luna was afraid that I would hurt the girl that I was holding. Like I shouldn't be the one holding her now. "She needs air," she said quickly. I was still shocked. I couldn't speak. Two Ravenclaw boys came, took her off my hands and moved her seat. I was speechless. I couldn't move.

Pansy came to interrupt this beautiful moment.

"Draco! Dracy, are you okay?" she said and embarrassed me but I just sat there without moving. I was just so angry with her and her behavior that I just couldn't react! Plus, I was lost into my thoughts and I didn't want her to ruin this. "Dracy... I forgive you, you know..." Pansy sat next to me. I didn't react. "Dracy.... Draco! I'm talking to you..." I didn't react again. "What's up with you, you're very pale." she kept on talking. I wouldn't talk to her until she understands that I don't want her to be next to me. And come to think of her, what the hell would I do with her? I knew my dad told me to... hang out with her, I just couldn't take it anymore. And now that this girl got in my life... what would I do? "Dracy... why are you not talking to me?" she said but I couldn't care less about Pansy. I was staring at nothing. At some point she was bored and she left me alone.

I only woke up from my daydreaming when I heard this girl waking up. I got up and ran to see what happened.

"rosae... rosae! rosae, can you hear me?" said Luna.

rosae... it's the most beautiful name I've ever heard. rosae was pale and her blue-green eyes looked shocked. I didn't care what Lupin said to her, I couldn't stop looking at her. She was so... I can't explain it...

"...Now you all go back to your seats," said Lupin. I felt dizzy. I sat back. I looked at her and froze when she looked back. What was I going to do? And the more I thought about what I told her last year at the Astronomy Tower, the more guilt I felt. I had treated her so bad and this girl probably hated me. And she was right to do so.

Oh, what a fool have I been? And yet, why was I thinking all these things? Had I ever felt guilty about my actions? What was it in that girl that made me feel so bad and so good at the same time? Why did I want to make up for the way I'd treated her?

My head was bombarded by thousands of thoughts. Part of me was searching for a way to make rosae forgive me. But the other part of me was thinking how dangerous all these thing I was thinking were. She was a muggleborn and I shouldn't be thinking about her. Not feel guilty for what I'd done.

What was happening?

I didn't know what to think. I didn't know what to do. But I couldn't leave this girl. I had never felt this way in my entire life and however bitter this feeling was, I never wanted it to end.
