Chapter 5: Why?
Chapter 6
(Destiny's POV)
My heart pounded, and tears formed in my eyes. 'Why?' I whispered, sitting down next to him. 'Why? Because someone is spreading shit about you cheating on Fred with me after they saw us walking back up to the castle together the night before the first task, and George was walking past me when Blaise was talking about that night in the Entrance Hall,' He croaked, a tear rolling down his cheek. 'Fred found he today and punched me. When you're a guy, you automatically hit back! And it build up, and I hit his head into a locker. Then Lee and George got involved, right? Lee held my arms back, George got me in a headlock, and Fred knocked me out. I'm so sorry, I shouldn't of retaliated, I should of thought about how it would affect you.' He finished, seeing the look on my face. I just shook my head, I physically couldn't speak. I grabbed an empty sick bowl off of Draco's bed and threw up.
I sat with Draco for a while longer, until lessons finished, then other people came bursting into the hospital wing. 'I'll bet that's Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy come back to see you again, Draco,' I sighed. 'You'll probably have to stay in overnight, but I promise I'll come back straight after breakfast.' He shook his head, but smiled. 'Don't bother, it'll just make things worse with Fred.' I nodded and went to leave, then stopped. I listened to the voices closely, and realized why they were familiar. 'If I see his sneaky blonde ass again, I'm gonna ram him into a wall.' 'Yeah, I know! You're her boyfriend, I dunno why he's all over her like that!' 'To be honest, it is kinda her-' 'No! This is not Destiny's fault! Don't even dare say that, Ron! If it's anyone's fault it's mine..' I rolled my eyes, and grabbed a new sick bowl. I had a feeling this was going to be a long night.
I walked down the hospital wing until the sources of the noise where in sight. When I got to Fred's bed, they all (Lee, Fred, George, Ron and Harry) looked confused. I held up the sick bowl and they nodded. I sat down, so they all left for me and Fred to have some space. 'I know what happened, Fred,' I said softly. 'I know why you did it, I would to! But there is nothing like that between me and Draco. I swear.' He just looked at me, as if to say "Why should I believe you? I've cheated enough to know." 'Fred, if you're just going to give me the silent treatment, I'll just go.' Still nothing. 'Fred!' He simply turned away from me. 'Fine then,' I sighed, stroking his hand. 'I don't even know you anymore Fred. I really think there is nothing left for us.' At this he turned to me. 'What's that supposed to mean?' He asked, suddenly sounding scared and vulnerable. 'It means I feel this is a one-sided relationship. You ignore me in the corridors, Angelina's up your ass every two seconds, if you want her around you that much just go back to her! I'll move on with my life.' I sighed, blinking back tears. 'Destiny, I do want to be with you, okay? Can we just forget this all happened?' He said, grasping my hands in his. I sighed, wondering how to forget how much he hurt me without even caring. 'Yeah. Sure. Whatever.' I said turning away, trying to wipe away my tears. I walked away, and as I went out the door a sob finally escaped my mouth.
