It's Okay, Draco

Chapter 29

That night, felt different from all the ones we shared together, he didn't really said anything, or me, and if he did, I was to preoccupied to not let my heart explode, and try to cover the extremely heat in my cheeks, knowing that even in the dark, the flushed pink could be seen from miles away.

But my luck wasn't entirely by my side that day.

From all the days, when Charlotte is usually sleeping when I arrive, she had to be awake last night, which made her contemplate, the blush all over my face.

"Oh my god!" Charlotte's lips parted away as soon as she saw my red face, and stood up from her bed  abruptly, as she walked towards me, still shocked. "Merlin. You better tell me what happened sis." She said in a excited tone, and sat on in my bed with me.

"Nothing. It's nothing." I said nervously, trying to hide my face.

"Well does this nothing has a name? Draco, perhaps?" She asked amusingly, perfectly knowing she was right, and obviously not waiting for a response from my part. "Oh come on Lara, who else put you like that then?"

"No one, I just hmmm...hit my door on a face-no I mean hit my face on a door...ugh." I let out a frustrated groan an tried to catch my breath so the redness of my face vanished.

Charlotte took a deep breath, and made a smirk towards me, but didn't said anything for a time, she looked like she was examinating my gaze which let me both uncomfortable and embarrassed.

"He kissed you, didn't he?" Her tone looked more like a affirmation rather than a question.

"No, no, it was not-" She cut me off.

"Oh please, Lara, how many times do I have to say, you're a terrible liar, just stop it you're embarrassing yourself sis." Charlotte said amusingly.

"Alright fine! Yes we kissed, happy?!" I let out a sigh of relief at my words. "But why are you so happy about it, I thought you hated him."

"Oh my dear, I still do...but, I saw how he looked at you in Umbridge's class when you stood up, and that day at dinner, specially that day, that's when I knew." Charlotte said softly.

"Knew what, exactly?" I asked.

"That he cares a lot about you, in a very special way, if you know what I mean." She said softly, but something was upsetting her.

"Is everything okay?" I asked softly.

"Yeah, I mean I'm happy for you, I really am, but I don't think this will end up well, Lara." She said with an apologetic tone, and I furrowed my eyebrowns.

"But, you believe me now, I helped him be a better person right?" I asked.

"Not exactly...I think you just made him care about you, but Lara, he's still the same, towards other people, you can't search for a side he doesn't have...but no matter what, I'm happy for you, but I think you will end up hurted." She placed a hand on top of mine, squeezing it tight in a apologetic tone.

I didn't said anything, I just nodded slightly and she went to her bed, while I felt nothing but bad.

For a moment I thought that at least one of my bestfriends would believe me and have hope in me, but so far, my mother is the only one that believes in me.

"Lara, just know that I will always be here." Charlotte said and then layed down.

Yeah, of course, thanks for believing in me by the way, oh wait, you don't, I hoped for once my bestfriend would be reasonable and belive in her bestfriend but apparently, she's just like everyone else...
