"What are you doing here?" I  asked. Luna didn't looked scared at all. Ollivander did. Well, not scared, more like, worried.

"What are you doing here?, is the question." I said, worried for their health.

"We are prissioners" Ollivander replied.
"Wait, how many time have you been here?!" I shouted. Luna stared at me, smiling a bit.

"I think just four or five days" she said with that sweet voice she had. I shocked.
"What?! Have you at least eaten something in all this time?" I asked them.
"Not much" She answered.

It all was dark. There was not much light in the place. We could only see the stairs outside the cell.

"Alright, don't worry, we will get out of here. We will be alright" I told them, not very sure about my words. I sighed and sat down in the cold floor.

"Can I ask you a question?" Luna asked suddenly, breaking the silence. I looked to her.
"Of course you can" I replied smiling to her. She was too inocent and sweet to be there, passing through that.

"Why are you here, with us? I mean, you are a..." she made a pause.
"A muggle born" she finished. I knew she was going to ask that sooner or later.
"Do you mean why I am alive?oh, they were going to kill me, yes, but..." I couldn't finish the sentence. Someone was going down the stairs to get to the cell.

I watched the stairs while watching someone's footsteps. I noticed my heart beat faster. There were two options, either it was one of the Death Eaters, or it was Harry. I was more inclined towards the first option. Perhaps Draco had been unable to give more reasons to keep me alive, and they had decided to kill me.
It was neither.

"Lexie! Are you okay?" Draco whispered, grabbing the bars with his hands. I stood up quickly and ran to where he was.

"Draco! I am, but they are not" I said to him, puting my hands over his.
Draco looked to Luna and Ollivander.
"What do you need? I can try to help you. They just can't see me" he replied looking back to my eyes.
"Could you bring some food and water?" I told him. He nodded.

" Why are you trusting him?! He is one of them!" Ollivander asked.

"Keep calm, Ollivander. He is a friend. He is the reason why I am alive. We can trust him" I explained. He seemed to trust in my words.

"Alright, I will return in some minutes with some food, just wait a bit" he said.
"Thank you Draco, be careful" I told him, and then, he left.

Just ten minutes later, he came back. He had several large packages of cookies, bread, fruit and bottles of water. He gave us all of that.

"Thank you so much, Draco" I told him, passing the food to Ollivander and Luna, who started eating quickly. They were very hungry.

"I think that will be enough for now, I will come back in some hours with more" he explained to me.
"Don't worry, I don't need food, rhey need it more than me" I said. He took my hand through the bars. I smiled to him, but he could notice I was worried.

"Everything will be alright, okay Lexie? I promiss I won't let them make anything to you nor them. Trust me" He said. I could notice he was worried too, but I nodded.
"I trust you, Draco. I have always trusted you" I replied. 

While they ate, I was sitting on the floor, quietly, with my back against the wall and thinking.
In truth, he wasn't overly confident that it would end well. I had a feeling something was going to go wrong.

I don't know the reason, but I remembered that day, the day in which I met Fred. Also the first time I talked with Draco. I remembered it was because he was messing with the twins. I remembered the day Fred and I started dating. Our first kiss. My first conversation with Draco without fighting with each other.
My first kiss with Draco.
The day he had helped me when he gave me his sweater.
Our last kiss.
My last kiss with Fred.
My last hug with the Weasley's.

How nice it was all when all our problems where that stuff, the love.
Now, we were one step away from dying.
at any moment, Voldemort could kill Harry. At any moment, anyone could be killed. Mudbloods, Muggles, traitors, or purebloods who simply tried to help any of those mentioned.
No one was save.

"You are lucky they didn't kill you" I recognised Draco's voice. He was going down with someone.

I stared at the stairs, waiting to see who was the person who was with Draco.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" I shouted when I saw him.
"Are you crazy?! Why have you come?" I asked again.
Draco opened the door and he passed. I hugged him.
"Fred, what are you doing here?" I asked again, crying and hiding my face in his chest.
"I told you I wasn't going to let anything bad happen to you." He said, kissing my head.

"You are such a stupid!" I shouted crying.
"You could have died!" I added. He smiled to me.
"Yeah, I know, but I needed to know you weren't dead. You are the thing I love the most" He explained touching my cheek.
"I couldn't live without you" he finished. I kissed him.

I saw Draco's face. He had looked away.
I had not realized that it could make him feel bad.

Fred stared at Draco, and after a few seconds of watching him, his face changed expression quickly.

"Oh my god" he said looking to me, and then to Draco . And then to me again. He had notice. He knew what was happening. He had notice about his feeling for me, and my feelings for him.
Shit.
