Memori

One step forward, two steps back

"Have you gone mad?!" Valor yelled, ignoring the glares
from the students around her.
Standing in front of her are her two best friends, who
decided to torture the poor Slytherin.

"You have to do it, that is unless.."

"What other choice do I have?" Valor spat, interrupting
Hermione from finishing.

Suddenly spinning around on her heel, Valor walked away, looking
in the crowd for a specific person.
Aiden and Hermione watched with eager eyes as Valor spotted her
victim in the middle of everyone.

"Hey Carter!" Valor said a little too loud.

Christian looked up at the sound of his name, to find Valor walking up to him.

"Wha.."

In an instant, Valor grabbed the back of Christian's head and
slammed her lips onto his. Everyone around them gasped,
all except Aiden who is busy laughing her ass off.
After giving him an amazing lip locking session which
lasted 7 seconds, Valor broke away and stared into his eyes.

"This doesn't mean shit." She whispered, before smirking and turning away.

Feeling confused, the poor bloke just stood there, staring
at the girl who just kissed him, walk to her laughing friends.
Everyone around them were just as confused, not knowing what is going on.

"Hey mate, you still there?" Draco asked waving his hand in front of Christian's face.

Finally getting out of his trance, Christian looked at Draco.

"What the fuck just happened?"

Draco couldn't help but laugh at his friend's reaction before saying,
"I think she just kissed you."

Suddenly as if reality kicked in, Christian immediately went red
from embarrassment. Looking down hall, the two guys watched
as the girls walked towards the library, two laughing hard and one flipping them off.

"Okay so it's my turn, Hermione, truth or dare." Valor said with a sinister smile,
in hopes to get revenge.
At the moment, the three friends were walking around the school, playing
the infamous game of Truth or Dare. The thing with these girls are,
that when it comes to this game, they take it to the extreme.
Having too much pride, each of them usually picked dare.

"Dare of course." Hermione replied.

"Hmm, I wonder what I could possibly dare the Head Girl
of Hogwarts to do." Valor said with her index finger to her chin.
The moment she said that, Hermione had begun to worry.
Anything too far could affect her title, which is the one thing she is most proud of.
As soon as Valor opened her mouth to speak, Professor McGonagal entered the hall.

"Ahh, Miss Granger I've been looking for you,
might I have a word?" The transfiguration teacher asked as
she walked up to the trio.

"Sure Professor." Hermione answered politely.
With that said, Valor watched her chance at revenge
walk away with its head held high.

"She got lucky." Valor said, making Aiden smile.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get her back. " Aiden told her.

Later on during the day, Aiden and Valor split up
to do their homework before dinner. Valor went
to her common room while Aiden went to the library.
Upon entering she quickly noticed how empty the room was.
There were two other people, both Hufflepuffs
studying in the corner, other than that it was just Aiden and the librarian.
After searching for a book, Aiden flopped herself
onto a chair with a table at the back of the library.
Within the next thirty minutes, Aiden looked back
down at her parchment and realized she
barely made half a page. With a sigh, she dropped
her feather in irritation.

"Looks like someone will be failing." A voice
she was all too familiar with said behind her.
Not in the mood to turn around she
said back, "Stalking are we Malfoy?"

"You're not the only one that uses the
library you know?" Draco said helping himself
into the chair across from Aiden. Her eyes looked
at him,while her posture remained the same.
He could tell he is annoying her...and he is loving it!

"I didn't even know you knew where the library was.
Let me guess this is your first time in here?" She
asked in hopes to annoy him. What she didn't
know is Draco Malfoy already knows everything
she's capable of. He knows that she's just
keeping her guard up, and he knows
everything about her, to drop that guard.

"Come to the ball with me." He instantly
said with so much confidence, it actually
surprised her. Looking up from her parchment
which she hasn't written in since Draco
joined her, she stared at him.

"I knew you didn't know the purpose of a library.
Ill fill you in, this is a place to research and
study not to try to socialize and hook up.
The place you are looking for is in Sheila's pants." Aiden
bitterly said. Instantly she noticed Draco's face
turn from humor into sadness, not realizing
what she said is the reason she almost died.

"I will never stoop that low." He replied with
a serious tone, clenching his teeth as he said each word.
Not understanding why, Aiden realized she
hit a nerve, and she decided to see how far
she would go with it.

"Aww, what happened? The Slytherin slut ain't
making Malfoy happy in bed anymore?"

Draco suddenly became angry, more at
himself than her. It is as if she's reminding
him of the pain she went through, making guilt
flood through his veins. The worst part, she doesn't
even understand how much her words are hurting him.

"You don't know what you're talking about."
He simply said.

"Look okay, I know you are only here for one
thing, to get in my pants and if I didn't make it
clear before, I'll say it again. Get lost!"
Aiden said getting more irritated by the minute.

"Aiden I'm not that guy anymore. I know
we haven't been on the best of terms but
I would really want to make things right
and take you to the ball." Draco said with
his puppy dog eyes that always made Aiden
melt before. Aiden stared into his eyes, sinking
into his gorgeous blues. Suddenly as if she
mentally slapped herself Aiden looked away.

"Malfoy, face it. We can never make things right,
we will never be friends. This is our last
year here so what's the point in even trying?"

"Maybe we can be friends even after Hogwarts." He
offered, in deep hopes that she would just
give into him. This is the longest conversation
they've had ever since the break up and to
Draco every second around her was pure bliss.

With a sigh, Aiden gathered her things and stood up.
"We can't be friends and you know it. You
will be a death eater and I, an auror.
Like you said, I will not stoop that low."
She said bitterly making Draco look at her
with sad eyes. To her she thinks she just
insulted Draco, but to him he just realized
that if he did win her back with some miracle,
in the end he is still a death eater. And
like Aiden said, he knew she would never
be with a death eater.

"Besides, you heard Dumbledore, you
have to write a poem first." Aiden stated
before walking away. Draco looked at her
with a smile. Even if she just insulted him,
he believes that he's gotten a way into her
head which is a great start. Now he has to
find a way to make himself wanted by her,
which won't be easy but if the Aiden he
fell in love with is still in there somewhere,
he knew it wasn't impossible.

"All in due time my love." He whispered with a smile.
