Touch Starved

Wait

"Mr. Malfoy" you started, holding the letter in your hand. He couldn't bring himself to look at it. It even took him begging you for an hour to read it for him. "We would like to congratulate you..." you couldn't manage the remainder of the words, because that was all you needed.

"I" his hands were shaking "I got in?"

"Early admissions" you handed him his letter. He finally let himself look at it, his heart was beating so loudly you thought maybe you could hear it.

Harry was not joking when he said training would be hard, on nights when you got home before Draco you would try so hard to make him dinner. But your body was so sore all you wanted to do was sit in the bathtub and melt away.

"BABY!" you heard Draco yell as he ran into the kitchen, pulling the pot off the stove which was on fire. You must have fallen asleep. You stood, waving your wand to extinguish the flames.

"Fuck" you groaned as you grabbed the pot from him, the food you were making had turned to ash.

"That's it" Draco spoke, opening windows to let the smoke out. "No more cooking for you."

"I just want to do something nice for you" you whined.

"Than order a pizza, you absolutely perfect thing"

You sat back down on the chair, leaning your head on your hand as he wandered around the kitchen. You couldn't help but smile at him, walking around in his black scrubs.

"I will order something." he rolled his eyes at you as he saw you watching him. "Promise me you wont try and cook again, I paid a lot for this house" he teased, leaning into you.

"I promise" you spoke as he kissed you softly.

"Now go take a bath, I will bring you food when it gets done"

"I love you" you spoke as you rose.

"And I love you" he shook his head at you as you wandered away.

Draco made good on his promise, ordering enough food to even fill the Weasley's.

"I got extra so we can eat leftovers until Friday when I can go to the store" he explained as you ate.

"You're much smarter than I am" you nodded.

He laughed "I just don't want you to burn down our house"

"Okay trainee's today we are going to be doing a battle simulator" Harry explained to you and the other 3 training Auror. "This one is going to be difficult for some of you more than others." he looked at you. What on earth could he mean?

The simulator started with each of you standing in the dark, your wands at the ready. You were just grateful to not be running laps again, or lifting things for no real reason. You have to admit you were lost in thought when it all started, figured started rolling through the fazed trees around you. It looked an awful lot like the night you had found the rouge eaters in the woods. Maybe that's what he meant.

You lifted your wand when a figure made itself appear to you, wearing a mask. You shot a spell quickly, moving to avoid the counter spell it shot back. You rushed around the false forest, your eyes scanning the best it could through the darkness. You couldn't help but hear the shuffling your feet made on the mock leaves on the ground.

You waved your wand, casting a silencing spell on your shoes making you able to wander through the course without being heard.

You listened as the rest of the false figured sifted through the woods, you tried to listen. Breathing as shallow as you could manage. As you turned around the tree to fight one as it walked by you felt a wand to your back.
