Chapter-2
Gone in a Gulp
"Are you sure about this Harriet?" Headmaster Dumbledore asks, his eyes twinkling behind his glasses. He is wearing a soft smile on his face, one that indicates that he has accepted Harriet's decision. Harriet regards him, wariness shadowing her eyes.
It's good that Harriet apologized to Professor Snape for everything her dad, godmother or she had ever done to insult him. Professor Snape has been good to her. He has mentored her and has taught her a number of lessons, one of them being that Harriet should never take anything at its face value. He was right since professor himself was not a heartless man though the way he behaved would suggest otherwise.
"Why are you not opposing, headmaster Dumbledore?" Harriet asks the aged wizard who sits back and looks at her, the twinkle in eyes still present.
"Over the past year, I have come upon a decision Ms. Potter. I won't interfere in Severus's decisions. If he says that it's okay, then it is okay. I won't intervene unless you require me to. Severus won't take it kindly if I defy his decisions where you are concerned. He is already very disappointed over the fact that I let you live with Lily's sister. Disappointed is the wrong word I guess. He is still very furious over it and I don't think he is going to forgive me anytime soon." Headmaster finishes.
"Okay. To answer your question, yes I am sure."
"Then, far be it from me to stop you from doing what you want to. I am here if you require my assistance with anything." Came the soft reply and Harriet nods before walking out of the room. She really mustn't get late. Once out of the office, she starts running as fast as she can.
She can't let the carriages leave without her. She can't. Professor Snape won't let her see the end of it. The man is already too worried for her.
She is so busy imagining Professor Snape's sneering face and exasperated eyes that she doesn't pay attention to anything but running and crashes into a hard body.

Potter crashes into him with an ooof. Draco wraps his hands around the girl's forearm to prevent himself from falling on the ground.
"Watch your steps Potter." Draco snaps and Potter doesn't even attempt to pull back. She is just standing there, breathing hard on Draco's shoulder like the bloody heathen she is. Having beautiful emerald eyes doesn't excuse this behavior. Running in the corridors. Honestly, is she five years old.
"Potter." Draco insists because he is already too late. When Potter doesn't reply, Draco pushes the girl hard enough that her feet stumble and she falls down on her ass, her elbows resting on the floor to prevent her head from hitting.
Potter stares at him, her eyes unreadable and licks her dry lips. Draco glowers at her.
"Spare me from your clumsiness Potter. I am already late." Draco drawls coldly before turning around and walking away with hurried steps. Only a few moments elapse before Potter shoots up and starts following him.
"Why do you want to get marked by that monster?" She asks. Draco ignores her and pushes his hands deep inside his pockets.
"Have you even seen him? He looks like a beast." Draco grits his teeth together. He doesn't want to hear all this again.
"Don't let him do this to you, Draco." Draco rounds up on her before glowering at the insolent witch, "Don't call me by my first name."
Potter stares at him, her green eyes impossibly wide and startling. Draco has to avert his eyes so as not to get lost in them.
"Was that kiss nothing to you then?" Potter murmurs, her voice soft as Draco walks away. For a while Draco doesn't answer and Potter keeps her distance. Draco knows which kiss Potter is talking about. They were sloshed and Draco was pissed off though he doesn't even remember why. Draco doesn't know what had consumed him to kiss Potter, in front of ladies room no less. He was fortunate that no-one witnessed the kiss.
Just when he is at the main exit, he murmurs back, "No. I was drunk and so were you. It meant nothing. I want to become a death eater, just like my father. I believe in the dark lord's cause and I want to make my father proud. It's an honor Potter and you will eat your words when my lord will defeat you. You are my lord's enemy and I am warning you to stay away. Do not piss me off." because the kiss can't mean anything, can it? He will be marked in about two and a half weeks and Potter is destined to defeat his lord. There is simply no point of thinking over the impossible.
He doesn't wait for Potter's response and moves out and leaves in a carriage, sitting by himself, his heart impossibly heavy and his eyes suspiciously damp.

Two hours later find Harriet in his room in 5, Privet Drive. She had spent the train ride, hidden under her invisibility cloak. Ron and Hermione had searched for her but she didn't have the strength to talk to anyone. That the kiss didn't mean anything to Malfoy is annoying and depressing.
Were Harriet not determined to pursue Malfoy, she would either have given up entirely or sunk into depression. As it was, she couldn't just let this go. Malfoy is the only one she has ever wanted. She will not give up so easily.
She eyes the vial carefully.
Here goes nothing. She thinks and drinks the potion in one gulp. Smiling to herself, she closes her eyes and lets the darkness engulf her.
