But there is, donât you see? Draco wanted to shout. He could order me to kill any of YOU next. Biting his tongue, the boy fought to maintain his composure, but the year had taken its toll on him physically and mentally. Heâd lost weight, his skin was pale, his cheeks more hollow than before. âIâm Draco Malfoy. I wear everything well.â His voice ran flat, lacking the hot-aired arrogance of his youth. âAnd I donât have to answer to you. If I want to bloody be alone, I can be.â
âBelievable, Malfoy,â she bit back, ignoring the slight pain in her chest when she called him by his last name instead. âYouâve gotten ugly over the summer, with that look you wear and the sunken cheeks.â It was a low dig, Pansy knew, but she also knew that she would rather deal with an angry Draco Malfoy than one who had drowned in her sorrows ( because she couldnât save him that way ). âIf you wanted to be alone, you can be. The question is, is that what you want?â
