Tw! -Mention of Self Harm

•••
One week later

You walk into your first class and take your seat next to Draco. "Hey babe" you say with a loving smile.

He returns the smile and kisses you. "You're so damn cute."

Last night, you made your relationship official. Pretty much everyone in Hogwarts knows you're together now. You're kind of a power couple and you alone intimidate little first years now that you're in relation to the terrifying death eater Slytherin bastard more commonly known as Draco Malfoy. Not that you want to scare 11 year olds. Draco thinks it's funny.

Cedric sits in the row behind you. "Hey cutie," he purrs.

"What did you just say to my girlfriend?" Draco turns around.

"Forget it Draco, he's just trying to get under your skin," you reassure him.

Draco turns back around and concentrates on his papers in front of him.

"Just found it odd that you're still with that bastard after our little chat last week," Cedric remarks.

Draco turns to you with a confused look.

"It was nothing. I'll tell you later."

Your reassuring words make Draco relax. He puts a hand on your thigh. He trusts you.

After dinner, Hermione went to the library with Harry and Ron, so you're just chilling by yourself

Someone knocks on your door. "You can come in!"

Draco opens the door. "I was thinking we could watch a movie."

"Of course!" You motion for him to join you. "It's pretty hot in here, why don't you take off your robe."

"Erm, no I'm fine," Draco mumbles.

"Suit yourself."

"Hey, what was that Cedric was talking about?" Draco asks.

"Oh yeah, I went to check on him after you got called down to McGonagall's. Ya know, make sure he wasn't dead. That's it." You shrug.

"Why didn't you tell me this?"

"I don't know. I didn't really think it mattered."

"Well you should have told me." He says with a kind smile.

"We weren't even dating then," you say.

"You're right. I'm just being protective. But next time he hits on you, he's getting a broken nose. For real this time."

"Yeah, alright." You tuck you head in the crook of his neck.

After about 30 minutes of watching the movie, you notice Draco sweating. "Babe, you're burning up. Take off your robe." You're getting concerned.

"I said no. I'm fine" he says, wiping sweat off his forehead.

Summer is coming soon, so it is really hot in your rooms.

Out of the corner of your eye, you see him clutching his left forearm. You already know about his dark mark. What else could he be hiding?

"Show me your arm" you say.

You see tears in Draco's eyes as he shakes his head.

"It's okay, you can trust me." His gaze is on the television, even though the movie is paused. "You trust me, right?"

You gently take his arm, pulling back the sleeve to reveal cuts. Scars all over his dark mark. The sight makes your heart drop. You care so much about him you don't want him to be hurting himself.

"Draco, you know I'm here for you" you say.

"I hate it. I hate being a death eater. I'm not like them." His voice is barely audible as tears roll down his cheeks.

"I know you aren't like them. I wish I could help you" you murmur, face flushed pink.

"My parents. They don't care about me." He can't look you in your eyes. "They just want me to carry on the Malfoy tradition." There's silence as Draco exhales a sob. "I hate being a Malfoy. I don't want to go back home for the summer."

You move a gentle hand to his jawline. "Baby. Look at me." And he does.

You move your hands to your shorts, pulling one side up to reveal existing scars from years back. "Everyone has issues. I know what you're going through and I'm here for you, okay?" You kiss the scars on his arm and wipe the tears from his face, soon embracing him in a hug.

"What did I do to deserve you?" he says with his arms still around you.

You end up falling forwards on the couch so you're on top of him and you guys start laughing. You kiss him before helping him back up. Some day, you're going to look back at these memories and smile.

You and Draco continue to watch the movie. You're sitting in between his legs, lying on his chest. He has his arms around you, holding your hand.

He leans over and kisses you, redirecting your head with his hand on your chin. You reposition your body to face him so you're facing him with your legs on either side of his.

It gets more passionate. You're undoing his tie and unbuttoning his shirt. His cold hands explore your neck, your back, pulling you closer.

Before you know it, he's on top of you, and...

•••

You're laying in his arms. You're about half way done with the movie when Hermione and Ron run in holding hands and laughing (don't worry, you have clothes on).

"Looks like this room's taken" Ron giggles.

"We're just watching a movie" Draco replies, twirling your hair in his fingers.

You wink at Hermione and she giggles.

Ron takes a seat on the recliner and gestures to Hermione to sit with him.

"Alright then" Hermione says before climbing on Ron's lap.

When they weren't actively watching the movie, they would whisper things to each other, causing laughter to emerge from the other side of the room.

For the next hour, you relax, watching you and your friends fall in love.
