There was a knock on my dorm door causing me to just curl into a tighter ball under the covers. Since the incident in the department of mysteries I stayed cooped up in my room. I only came out for classes and never spoke to anyone except Harry. Harry and I spent a lot of time together, nobody dared spread any rumors though.
Harry was going through the same thing I was. We were each others comfort. My friends constantly came to check on me, bringing me food and insisting that I get out but I always brushed them off. I heard the door open slightly, footsteps crossed the floor then my bed sunk a bit.
I didn't move as I felt the blanket being pulled back to reveal my face. I squeezed my eyes shut as the hair was brushed away and my tears were wiped. "Good morning Love." I slowly opened my eyes and Draco smiled down at me holding a stuffed bear and a box of chocolates. "Happy anniversary!" He said and I sat up making Draco shift slightly to give me room.
"It's okay if you didn't get me anything, I completely understand." I shook my head before crawling out of my warm bed and pulling his gifts out of the closet. I gave him a small smile before handing the two jars to him and sitting down.

"Happy Anniversary," my voice sounded hoarse. "The jar with candy in it was courtesy of Molly, I asked her to go out and by some muggle candy." His eyes lit up, "muggle candy?!" I nodded and he kissed my cheek, "I love it! What's the other jar?" "Oh, since I have to stay with the Dursley's again this summer I just thought that maybe you could open one of the papers each morning. They are color coordinated and everything."
Draco's smile stretched, "I would love that! I got you something else as well." He placed the bear and chocolates in my lap before pulling out a small parcel from behind him. "There you are Darling." I opened it slowly, once I had teared all the paper away I was left with a candle. I smiled, "a candle?" I smelled it, "oh and it's vanilla! I love it! How'd you get one?"
Draco shrugged, "I talked to Hermione about what muggle things you might like and she suggested a candle." I kissed his cold lips which seemed to surprise him, "it's perfect thank you Bunny." Without warning he pulled me in a tight hug. "I'm love you so much Beautiful, I just wish our anniversary wasn't at the worst of times." I gave a small laugh, which felt strange but nice. "Well something ought to lighten things up."
