Tracey really didn’t even know where to start. She took another drag of her cigarette and it tasted terrible. How long that that pack been in her locker to make them taste this stale? The smoke seemed to turn to ash in her mouth and it wasn’t comforting at all. “I don’t really,” she felt Heidi’s discomfort with it and tossed the fag aside with a disgusted sigh. “I…” She trailed off, not wanting to admit she was just looking for a little comfort.
Tears still threatened to well up and her throat felt tight. “She started just…insulting me before she even told me she knew about us. Telling me I didn’t belong in Slytherin. How I was worthless for being a Halfblood, but hinting how I would be nothing if people knew about me…”
When they arrived in the deserted hall, Tracey threw her arms about Heidi and began to sob softly. “She said that you w-would get sick of being my dirty little secret and that even you would t-think that I don’t d-deserve you and…and…that I should just be with someone who was like me…”
“S-she wanted me back, after saying all those terrible things…she got so mad when I said no…I’ve never seen her like that,” she choked out. “She really scared me…I don’t know what she is going to do…” Tracey clung to Heidi, afraid that if she let her go that the girl she might actually love would run out of her life forever.
