Red Rose-Draco Malfoy

11 - H o g s m e a d e

Amelia

We made our way to Hogsmeade.

It was the middle of winter, and there was a thick layer of white snow covering the roofs of shops and the ground.

The air still fresh hitting my face causing me to shiver, and my hand still placed gently in Draco's.

I tried so hard not to think about everyone back at home, and what they would think of me, but I couldn't help it there was always this feeling in my chest, I knew they wouldn't love me the same, look at me the same, laugh with me the same.

And I knew getting closer to Draco wasn't the worse thing, because I knew what he was like, but they don't, they hate him, and so did I at one point.

But I think I love him, I have never felt this way about someone, never needed to be around them all the time, never needed their touch, the sound of their voice.

I knew it was wrong in a way but it doesn't feel wrong when he holds me or looks into my eyes.

Draco still holding my hand, he walked us into a restaurant, getting us a set in the back, up against the window.

I sat across from him feeling his eyes on me the whole time while I was looking at the menu.

"What." I laughed looking back at him.

"Nothing, you are just- um very beautiful." He mumbled while going a little red. I smiled back at him while looking back down the smile never leaving me.

"Am- Amelia, is- is that you." I heard a soft voice coming from the overside of the room. I looked up to meet Olivia's eyes.

My heart sank as I saw her, what was she doing here Draco said no one would find us, out of everyone why her, my best friend, I couldn't see her right now, I can't handle it, she can't find out what I am.

"Draco, sh- she's her," I said while he looked up meeting her eyes, she slowly started to walk over to us, and there she stood in front of us, her hair in a low ponytail her green eye staring right into mine.

"What are you doing here." Draco shot at her.

She rolled her eyes at Draco and looked back down at me. "Amelia, wh-why are you here, I get this letter and nothing else, then you just up and leave, leaving me with no explanation or anything. And even worse you are with Malfoy?" She said softly but you could hear the anger breaking through.

"It doesn't matter ok, you need to leave," I told her strongly

"No, I am not going anywhere, explain." She was getting more and more aggressive.

"Leave," Draco replied trying to stay calm.

I put my hand under the table placing my hand gently on his thigh. Olivia's eyes moving down to the table to see my hand resting on his thigh.

"What's this." She snapped, pointing to my hand.

I didn't reply, I looked down, not making any eye content with her.

"So this is why you left me." She said while a small tear rolled down her face.

" Olivia it's not like that, there is so much you don't know or will never understand." I stood up to now be facing her.

"ok fine then, what is it, tell me." She sobbed

I didn't reply, she can't find out, she wouldn't forgive me for this, she wouldn't understand.

"That's what I thought." And then she was gone. She walked out of the restaurant just leaving me standing there about to cry, Draco grabbed my hand pulling me down to sit next to him.

"You can't." He whispered.

" yea, Draco I know." I wiped the tear that slipped down and took a deep breath.

This day was meant to be good, we were meant to go out, have lunch, but I don't have much of an appetite anymore.

"Come on Amelia eat, you haven't eaten," Draco said while pushing me some food, to make him stop I took and bite out of the salad.

"Happy now."

"Mhm." He smiled.

Draco

I watched as she took another bite of her food, I looked into her eyes, she was in pain and I couldn't do anything about it, she was the best thing that had happened to me.

Where weren't together or anything but I knew I liked her.

But my father couldn't have me getting distracted over her, and I feared if I cared for her too deeply that I wouldn't get it done. And he would hate me.

After we finished, I took her hand and we went and sat in a park.

"Draco." She asked looking up at me with her blue eyes.

" yes."

" do you, think she would ever forgive me." She questioned.

I had no idea, and I didn't want to say something that may never happen.

" I don't know, I really don't." She nudged my shoulder " well at least I have you. Right?"

"Yes, yes you have me." I smile weakly and place a kiss on her head.

We walked around the park for a bit, it was getting dark, and we didn't have anywhere to stay.

So off we went back to the manor.

I pushed open the door and saw everyone sitting at the table, their heads turned at the sight of us, my father got up from his chair and walked to me.

" YOU ever walk out of these doors WITHOUT my permission  you will regret it.!" He yelled while holding me tightly.

" And you stay away from my -." He went to go closer to her I stood in front of her.

" don't you talk to her like that," I said strongly, grasping her arm and talking her up the stairs and back to my room, I shut the door behind us.

"I'm sorry," I said to her, she gave me a smile and put her warm hand on my cheek.

" it's not your fault dray." She smiled.

" Dray huh." I teased her.

" Yeah, I think it's cute." She laughed, she had the most beautiful smile and laugh, it makes my face light up.

She was special.

Amelia

"You know what dray, I like your room, it's pretty," I say jumping on his bed, he looked at me raising his eyebrows.

"God I hate that."

"What" I laugh

"Dray, why not just Draco...huh" he complains.

"Ok ...ok."

"Dray" I whispered and  let out a big Laugh

And then all of a sudden he jumped on the bed, pulling me closer, and started to tickle me.

"Dra- Dray haha sto- stop," I screamed while still laughing. This was the best time I had in forever and it was with Draco.

"Huh, I didn't quite hear that." He laughed.

Then he stopped and looked down at me, our eyes not moving away, I moved his hair that keeps managing to fall in his face.

"You are beautiful." He whispered. I blushed.

"And you Mr. Malfoy," I said back. with a smirk on my face.

He gently pushed his lips to mine.

He moved his head and rested it on my chest.

"well one day, this will be over, and we can do anything," he mumbled while falling asleep. I ran my hands through his hair. and kissed his head.

"one day," I mumble.

AWWW OK this is cute
