《Our Toxic Love》56.

"Jesus Pansy the music is so loud, how the fuck are we going to get away with this?" I looked across the sea of moving bodies, i'd never seen the common room so packed. Their faces sort of blurred through their movement and the erratic lighting.
"I've not got a fucking clue but Blaise said he was sorting it so i'm going to make the most of it whilst it lasts. I really couldn't give a shit about this place anymore...now come on! It's time to have some fun!" In a flash she threw her hands up in the air moving her way into the crowd, swinging her hips around the bodies flooding the common room. I'd never in my life experienced anything like this as I'm sure many others in this room hadn't, that was unless I'd missed out on something fairly obvious the last couple years. Everything about it sent a sudden boost through my body that had felt so numb for so long. A sort of adrenaline I felt when I was around Draco...before all this...that adrenaline that crippled me every time he touched me or so much as spoke my name.
The bass from the music was keeping in time with my heartbeat, each beat rippling through my chest. Making me feel more alive than I'd felt in days, like it was taking over me. I looked through the crowd, Pansy had found her position right in the middle of the crowd. Her hands signalled me over, waving me over to her. I took a couple of steps forward trying my best to mimic Pansy's movements and like I had done this 1000 times before I was bustling my way through the crowd, I felt the force of each moving body press against me until I was by her side.
"PANSY! IT'S TOO LOUD I-I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THINK!"
"THEN DON'T! HERE DRINK THIS!" She quickly sprang a flask in my face for a moment my sub concious tried its best to break through but before I could let it my mouth was already fixated around it. I pulled away sharply at the wicked taste piercing each taste bud.
"NO, YOU NEED MORE!" More?! I rolled my eyes at her but without haste I was already drinking my way into better state. "NOW LET GO!"
And I did just as she said.
My body suddenly lighter than it had ever felt, like I had no cares. Like I was free. My body obeying more and more each second I spent wrapped in this moment.

I felt a harsh grasp around my wrist, I turned myself quickly to the direction it had come from. Pulling myself back down to reality.
"WHY IS HE TALKING TO HER?" Pansy's eyebrows where furrowed and a familiar look of anger was sprawled across her face.
"WHO? WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT?!" By the time I'd finished my sentence she was already spinning me round to the right direction. My eyes suddenly focused entirely on Draco's flawless figure and yet something so imperfect was up on her tip toes nuzzling her way up to talk to him. If it wasn't for the unamused look on his face I'm sure the seething rage that was bubbling up inside of me would of been a hell of a lot worse.
"WHO IS IT? I CAN'T SEE HER FACE!" I turned my body slightly back round to Pansy but never breaking contact with the scene unfolding ahead of me.
"ASTORIA GREENGRASS, IT'S DAPHNE'S SISTER! SHE'S A COUPLE YEARS YOUNGER!"
"WHY WOULD SHE BE TALKING TO HIM?"
"I DON'T KNOW! GO OVER TO HIM!"
I concentrated on Draco's wandering eyes for a moment, his eyes scanning the room completely bemused by whatever words she was speaking. He had no interest in whatever she was saying, he was looking for something else clearly more important than the conversation. I hoped that thing was me. "DRACO WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING" before the words could even leave my mouth his face was suddenly on her...a smile reached his face..a smile I had only noticed when he was around me...a smile that was pure and whole...a smile I hadn't seen in a while and just looking at that curve of his mouth sent a sudden pierce straight through me,I burning sensation rose in my throat as I stared at the boy I loved look at another girl the way he used to look at me.
"HEY! DON'T READ INTO THAT IVY! I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LIKE! DON'T" But in my eyes I'd already lost..even if it was far from the truth. My mind had gone once more. My eyes quickly clocked the flask gripped tightly in Pansy's hand "IVY...NO!" She put her hand out in front of my face as if that was going to stop me, before she had a chance to take another breath I was already deep into the fiery liquid burning its way down my throat. "IVY! THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP ANYTHING!" The glass slightly clashed on my teeth at the force of the bottle leaving my bottle at such speed.

"I couldn't give a fuck." I knew she wouldn't of heard me through the music but by the look on her face she knew the words that had left my mouth.
"WELL LOOK WHO IT IS..." A familiar velvet voice made its way into the space between me and Pansy.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT BLAISE?!" Like a force of habit she was already rolling her eyes at him.
Looking over both of us like we were some sort of dessert he grazed his tongue over his top lip. "WELL YOU TELL ME BABY!"
"FUCK OFF ZABINI!" Like she could already read my mind a death stare was already heading in my direction.
"WANT TO DANCE BLAISE?" I allowed the alcohol to fuel the confidence that I probably didn't need.
His teeth bit down hard on his lip. "DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO ASK?!"
I backed up quickly, I could see Pansy mouthing something at me but through the noise I couldn't hear a thing. I pointed towards my ears and shrugged my shoulders at her leading to a very irritated glare being thrown my way...she may be right but right now I really couldn't care less.
The music only fuelled the movements from my body more and more, once again I was in a complete different state from reality. I was wrapped up in a bliss that I didn't want to escape from. Blaise reminded me of his presence sharply as his hand reached my hip. A clash of guilt hit my stomach like a truck...what was I doing?
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" The voice that was my calm was suddenly my storm. My eyes landed on his face..the guilt only magnifying intensley inside the pit of my stomach.
"FUCKING RELAX MALFOY, SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME DANCING WITH YOUR GIRL?" I watched the cocky grin suddenly wiped straight off his face by the strike Draco cracked against his chin.
"OH MY GOD DRACO! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING! OH MY GOD BLAISE-I- DRACO! OH MY GOD!" My hand quickly grasped around Draco's arm who I could tell was far from finished. Blaise quickly fumbled his way back to his feet, closing the distance between them.
"ARE YOU BEING FUCKING SERIOUS?!" Blaise shoved his hands down with enormous force onto Draco, yet he hardly moved. The glaze over his eyes terrified me.
"DRACO, DON'T FUCKING DARE! I-I CAN'T DO THIS!" In a heartbeat I was making my way out the crowd, forcing myself through the bodies that blinded me from the space I desperately needed. I reached the corridor to the girls dorms in near agony from the sheer panic driving its way around my entire body.
"IVY! Ivy!"
"Draco please- I- god...what the fuck Draco! He didn't do anything! Why? Why did you do that?!" I leaned on the wall behind me, like it was the only thing that could keep me up.
"Why did I do that?! Are you being fucking serious?! You think that doing that in front of me with fucking Zabini out of everyone is ok?! Are you fucking delusional?!" The words seethed out of his mouth.
"Me?! Am I delusional?!" I rolled my eyes whilst releasing a exaggerated huff from inside. "I fucking saw you Draco...I saw you smile at that girl...I saw how you looked at her..and don't say you didn't it because I saw it..with my own eyes."
His face scrunched so tight with confusion it looked painful "Who?! Astoria?! Are you being serious?! The whole time she was speaking I didn't hear a fucking word she was saying, you know why? Because I was looking for you!" He pointed his finger towards me.
"Draco I saw how-"
"Shut up! I wasn't finished! I was looking for you until she said something that I couldn't help but listen to. She was telling me how beautiful she thought you were...and how she spoke to you the other night and you were a complete dick but she knew that you were upset and she was wanting to make sure that you were ok...I don't know what part of me speaking to somebody else made you think that you needed to throw yourself on Blaise to prove a point but I would never do anything Ivy...you're the only thing that makes me whole and I apologise if listening to someone talk about how amazing you are makes me smile Ivy...but fucking hell I can't help that." He shrugged his shoulders and threw his hands up slightly.
A wave of guilt morphed its way into a sudden desperation for him and just like the first time the nerves fell heavy onto me and yet the sudden touch of his lips on mine suddenly made it melt away.
*SO! Thank you so much for all the reads I literally can't believe it! Thought I would spice it up with a little music, I know this would DEFINITELY not be out in that time but anyway! ENJOY!*
*Also please keep leaving comments...they make my day and I thoroughly enjoy reading them!*

As an author, I'd like to interact with my community and get ideas and what I can improve on. I'm not perfect and don't expect a masterpiece. I may have a bit of experience writing as a hobby, I make mistakes and my style is a bit rough around the edges. I hope you stick around and watch me build this story up. I don't have a predetermined schedule and the releases will be slow. Since I got college, my schedule is most likely 1-2 chapters a month but that shouldn't be that bad since I get some time to think about what I can write in the story. Again, my apologies for that. I hope I have your support moving forward and that you enjoy the characters and their journies.
