Flash forward to Hogwarts express.

    The worry had set in again. With nothing to focus it on, I was going mad. No word from Draco, although I had not expected there to be. I missed him terribly. I tried to comfort myself but couldn't. The logical side of me wanted to assume that he was fine, just like he had been when I'd seen him. My logical side is quite small though. When it comes to this at least.

As I made my way to Platform 9 ¾ I was reminded of the previous year. How much had changed since then. I had walked on to the platform denying the fact that I was in love with Draco. Thinking he would never feel like I did. Ignoring the pain that it caused me. This year though, I knew I loved him. I knew he loved me too. One thing was the same though, when I emerged, onto the platform my eyes automatically searched for Draco.

I did not see him though. I made my way onto the train in such a rush that I must've looked quite alarming to the younger students. I peered into every compartment until I found him. Alone, looking out the window at the families in the station. The parents evidently worried for their children, and the children trying to appear brave. I slowly opened the door. He looked up at me, his face momentarily filled with light, before returning to its now normal gloom and darkness. I initially sat across from him, but quickly moved to his side. The silence was long and uncomfortable, much like the previous years had been. I slowly edged closer to him, happy to be near him again. I slowly reached my hand up to his face and turned it towards mine.

The kiss didn't last long. It was just a reminder, that we loved each other. I slowly pulled away and examined his face, he opened his mouth to speak.

"I missed you," he whispered.

"I know," I replied, a smirk present on my face. He reached his hand up to his face where mine lingered, set it lightly around mine, then grasped it and slowly brought it down, resting in the small gap between us. It was hard to know what to say, but the silence was too painful not to say anything.

"I'm sorry about breaking into your house," I offered, although I really did mean it. I felt incredibly awkward and guilty for my actions. Draco smirked.

"I'm not," He said, he was still smirking, but there was a hint of sincerity in his voice. "I got to see you at least," He paused again. Then with total sincerity, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left like that."

"No, it's ok, I understand why you did it, I just couldn't stand not knowing if you were alright and I thought you wouldn't return to school and..." I trailed off for a moment. "...I don't know, I couldn't imagine not seeing you then either," A ghost of amusement flashed on his face as he watched me babble on. It reminded me of the old Draco, the one I had been friends with and sadly the one who broke my heart.

He put his arm around me, pulled me against him and kissed the top of my head. I rested it on his shoulder and he looked back out the window, which now featured seemingly endless green fields instead of the bustle of Kings Cross. We resumed our previous silence, only this time it felt calm and peaceful. We had said what we needed, now we just wanted this moment. Together.
