His Dark Princess

Chapter 29

It was finally the last day of the fifth year, we've been through so much together. I knew that next year was going to be a lot different not only for me but for the trio. I knew that the death eaters had a plan and that I was going to be lying to my friends and family about being on their side but this was my decision and I was doing it for me, not anyone else. I was trying to look for Draco and say goodbye to him. I haven't spoken to him since we last talked at the Astronomy tower. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and I were walking to the train, "I've been thinking about something Dumbledore said to me." Said Harry to us, "What's that" Asked Hermonie. "Even though we got a fight ahead of us, we got one thing that Voldemort doesn't have." I didn't know where this was going or what Harry was trying to tell us, "Yeah?" Questioned Ron."Something worth fighting for." We got on the train and I was happy that we were all here together but I knew I can't get attached to them once again, they have hurt me a lot and they deserved what was going to happen next to them. We were on the train going back home and the guys were talking when I decided to go look for Draco, "I'll be right back, guys." I say leaving our compartment. I started to walk to Draco's compartment, his friends knew we had a thing before but I didn't know if they knew about us now. I got to their compartment but I was afraid to open it and I knew it was a bad idea so I started to walk away but then I heard a door open and I wished it was him. I didn't turn around at all and I entered an empty compartment and waited for the person to leave, but I didn't hear them pass my compartment so I decided to stay there and wait till someone passed so I could leave and go back. I turned to face the window and as I did my door open and it was Malfoy. "Bloody hell!" I say jumping, "I really thought you were someone else." I say out of breath. He sat me down and gave me a sweet but rough kiss, I knew how much he missed me and so did I but he had to discuss what was going to happen next. I pulled away from the kiss and went to grab his hands, "I've missed you a lot." He didn't say anything back to me but he kept looking down at our hands. "Draco?" I said reaching for his chin and making him look at me. "Athena, why did you go?" I was confused about what he was asking me. "You went with Potter and his friends to go find Sirius!" He said getting up from his seat, "Draco, I had to. They were going to suspect something if I didn't!" I said getting frustrated at him. "I know Athena, but you could have made an excuse and not go or at least tell me about it!" He was right about me telling him, I couldn't ruin our plan. "I'm sorry, you're right but we can't afford them finding out Draco!" He looked back at me "No, I'm the one who needs to apologize. You're right, they can't find out about us and you being on our side." I smiled at him and kissed him, "I have to go before the guys start to look for me." I was about to leave but then Draco stopped me. "Athena, my dad wants you to come over to the mansion over the break." I looked at him and I thought he was joking, "Are you being for real?" I asked, "Yes, he sent me an owl last night telling me he wants you to come over." I didn't know what to say, I knew he didn't like me and after the small talk we had with Bellatrix, I was terrified to go. "Look, you don't have to go. I'll just tell him you had a family emergency and can't come." I didn't want to disappoint Draco and especially not his dad, but if I'm going to work with him, I had to get used to being in the same room as Lucius. "No. I'll go, just send me an owl with the date and where I should meet you." I said, he pulled me close to him and whispered in my ear, "You know, you mean so much to me." I put my hands around his neck and smiled like an idiot. "And you mean the world to me... I love you." I pulled back and looked down as I told him I loved him, he didn't say anything back but just stare at me. "I-I, I didn't mean to, just forget I said anything. I know it's really early for me to say it and if you don't love me it's okay, I better go." I said panicking and walking back and forth in our compartment. He grabbed my hands and looked me straight in the eyes, "Athena, I've never had anyone say they love me, like this. I'm sorry, I'm so bad at being a boyfriend." He said, looking down at the floor. I pulled him to sit with me, "Draco, we already went over this. You don't need to apologize about it." I said drawing circles in his hands, "I-I love you." He told me, I looked back at him and he was already looking at me. "I love you, Athena Weasley." I smiled at him and kissed him, it felt like the longest kiss and it was the best. "I just get going, Ron will get worried." I said getting up. I left the compartment and started to walk to the compartment I was with the guys, I entered and they all looked at me as if I had something in my face. "Yes? Can I help you?" I asked sitting down where I was before I left. "You look a lot happier than when you were here..." said Hermonie looking at me. "What were you doing Athena? Don't tell me you left to go snog a guy." I looked at him and gave him an ugly stair, "No, Ronald. I went to go talk to my other friends. What are you guys doing?" I said trying to change the subject and Harry told me what they were doing, I noticed that Ron was still looking at me, I looked up and rolled my eyes at him. I decided to stop smiling and pretend that I was not happy but deep down I was happy. I do love Draco Malfoy.
