CHAPTER 5

I apparated back to Hogwarts after wiping my tears away hoping that Draco went back as well, instead of aimlessly looking for me with no successful result. What my father said is still ringing in my ears.
"Not yet"
Not yet. I can't allow him to become a death eater, I won't. He's so pure, unlike his father and mine, this is not the life he was destined for. I'm ashamed of my dad, his mistakes somehow become mine and I have no choice but to pay the price for them.
Voldemort is like a scar, he will never go away.

When I arrive back at Hogwarts I make my way to the slytherin common room. I enter and no other than Draco Malfoy is sat on the sofa awaiting my arrival.

He spots me and within a matter of seconds is up on his feet hugging me around the waist. "Where have you been? I was worried sick Raven" he wraps up our embrace and stares into my eyes, awaiting an answer. One that I'm not prepared to give. "Just walking around that's all, sorry if I caused you to worry over nothing" I say and smile apologetically hoping he doesn't see straight through my facade. "I know you're lying Raven but you can tell me whenever you're ready" Draco informs me and pulls me into a tighter hug than before. "I will" I reply, not sure if I am lying or not.

I walk to my dorm and say goodnight, receiving a peck on the cheek from Draco. I acted like it meant nothing although it actually meant the world to me.

"Draco isn't a death eater!" I scream, struggling to keep my anger at bay. "Yes Raven, I am" Draco says and rolls up his sleeve to show me the dark mark "...and my next task is to kill you". "Draco please no"- "AVADA KEDAVRA!"

I wake up drenched in sweat and gasping for air. My duvet is stuck to my limbs and I can't move. Panicking, I rip the sheet from my body and run out of the door to the only place that I feel safe. With Draco.

"Draco?" I speak softly whilst quietly rapping on his door. The door opens abruptly and a dishevelled Draco stands before me. The waistline of his grey sweatpants hangs loosely, exposing his prominent V-line and I can see the outline of his abs through his thin white T-shirt. He coughs to get my attention and I reluctantly look up to meet his gaze. "What's wrong?" He croaks deeply, his voice thick like honey and laced with sleep. "I- can I stay in here with you?... I had a bad dream." I ask nervously.

He doesn't answer but leads me into the room before clambering back into bed and enveloping himself in a thick blanket. I pull a spare blanket from the chest and begin placing it on the floor. "What are you doing?" Draco questions, peering over at me. "Trying to make a bed, what does it look like I'm doing?" I answer him. "Come here, I'm not having you sleeping on the floor" he says protectively and pats a space on the bed next to him.

Nervous and trembling, I make my way over to the bed and lie down smothering myself in the duvet and warmth spreads all over my body. I turn to face Draco and find him with his gaze fixed upon me. His eyes flick down to my lips and he leans in closer until I can feel his hot breath on my face.

The next thing I know, his lips are on mine and we share a kiss. It feels like the whole world has stopped and his hands find their way to my hair, tangling his boney fingers in my locks. His body presses up against mine and I can barely breathe. My trembling hands gently hold his face between them and the kiss deepens. He reaches down to the hem of my pyjama top and he looks into my eyes, asking for permission. I nod quickly and he pulls it over my head and the kiss resumes. My lips open and his tongue slips inside my mouth moving expertly alongside mine.

Suddenly something in his eyes changed, like he's been pulled out of a trance or ...a spell. Draco quickly pulls up his sweatpants and tears start to form in his eyes as he realises what's going on. "What's happening? Did I just cheat on Pansy?" He rushes anxiously.

Wait...Pansy?

"What do you mean Draco?" I say and wait for him to answer me. "What do you mean what do I mean? What do you think I fucking mean?!" He screams into my face "did I just fucking cheat on my girlfriend?!"

Draco never mentioned that he had a girlfriend... I rush from the room throwing my T-shirt back on whilst running back to my dorm.

Confused, hurt and angry.
