Simple, Easy, and the Exact Opposite of Him

I waited for him for over an hour. He didn't show up. I really didn't expect him to. After all, he had so many things stopping him. His friends, his job, the world. No one wanted to see the-boy-who-lived with the-boy-who-was-rumored-to-be-a-death-eater. I begged him; I was on my knees for the better portion of the week. Still, he said we were different, we weren't meant to be. I don't know anyone that could be with me like he was. He took me not for my name but for me, much like I did to him. I didn't listed when people said. "He's working for Voldemort, he's not really helping us," or "he's just a poor misguided boy, with a little guidance, he could be fixed."
I grew up with hostility, my "family' treated me like trash, and his didn't love him. After our relationship was discovered was was the first time I had ever seen him cry. His friends didn't talk to him. How could he steep to dating this trash from our rival house? I was all he had and he was all I had. I thought he would stay with me forever, I wished for it. I didn't realize that maybe his friends were more important than me. I knew that he came to Hogwarts without friends; his family wouldn't let him have any. The friends he made were forever. I didn't know I was messing that up.
Now that harsh reality is imposed on me. Standing on the platform, freezing, he hasn't come. He said he would but he won't. I was simply in the way. Then why was I waiting? I just wanted to be loved, my friends left me as well, but I would leave anyone for a chance to be with him. That's just what I'm doing. This is his last chance. I'm getting on the train. I'm getting away from this place I used to call home. I wasn't important enough. The unsympathetic truth hits me. I was a toy for him to play with. I will not be used any longer.
I pick up my things, I didn't bring a lot. After all, I was starting over. A new leaf. Except this leaf was yellow. Its prime time was over and now it's remembering. No matter, it looks beautiful. The train is due to leave in about 5 minutes. I take deep breaths, it will be over soon.
I hear shouting on the train. Obviously someone is trying to get on without a ticket. I have an extra, after all; I can give it to him. He needs it more that I do. I get up, and take the extra ticket I had gotten for "him'. This is it. I follow the shouting; the man hasn't given up yet. When I get closer I see two men trying to wrestle the one man down.
I get ready to make a scene. Pretend as if I know this person and then give him the ticket.
"Hey," I yell over the shouting "Hey! I've got your ticket John"
The men look up and I look under the guards. It's him. Draco, he came.
"I came"
"Why?"
" You asked me to."
Simple, easy, and the exact opposite of him.
