"What!' My world begins to spin.I am silently staring at apparently my bed as I tried to remember something, I didn't care what, as long as it was something. I didn't realize Draco was approaching until he blocked my view. I looked up and his silver eyes looked at me dreamily. He was now standing so close I could feel his breath on my lightly tanned skin. His breath smelled like peppermint.We looked at each other for a long time, without saying a word. He put his hand on my cheek and moved his thumb back and forth. I felt my heartbeat in the back of my throat. I wanted to kiss him so badly, but somewhere in the back of my mind I know how my friends here aren't going to like it. A grin appeared on Draco's face he moved closer and whispered in my ear.'You're shaking 'I looked at the hand resting on Draco's arm. I looked away to preserve the fact that my cheeks were glowing red.

Draco turned my head to his again and didn't let this moment pass.

Our lips touched and my body relaxed.

I put my hands on his shoulders.

I felt him pull me closer by my waist.

The kiss became more intense by the second. As if we had both been waiting for this for a long time.

'Draco! Voldemort wants to speak to you!' Lucius called out from the staircase.

He removed his hands from my waist and I could do nothing but smile.His expression on the other side was puzzled, He looked at me for a few seconds before storming out of the room and not giving me another look. Stopping in the doorway, he turns halfway around. 'This never happened' Is the last thing he says before he storms down the stairs. His voice sounded emotionless and cold.I heard his shoes on the marble stairs.I sat down on 'apparently' the bed I slept in for 7 years but don't remember anything about it myself. I sit with my hands in my hair. Tears form in my eyes. I hear a soft knock on the door. "Juliette? I see Narcissa gently open the door. 'I didn't know your mother had done that to you,' she says softly as she approaches me gently. 'How could she make me forget all this,' I say desperately as I look at her. I grab the unicorn stuffed toy from the pillow and hold it in my hands. 'That was your favorite stuffed toy, Draco had given it to you on your 5th birthday.' Narcissa smiles at the memory. I remain silent and continue to stare at the unicorn. Not knowing what I could say. Narcissa sat down next to me. 'You were our sunshine in our house.' I smile at her. Somewhere a sadness came up because I couldn't remember.


Suddenly her face lights up. "I have to show you something!' I nodded, afraid that I would burst into tears if I spoke. We walked up the next marble staircase. 

We came into a large kind of Library. There were many bookcases and once in a while there was a large window or door between the large dark wooden shelves. We walked to 1 specific cabinet. 'Picture albums.' she said and grabbed a few books from the bookshelf. A huge smile formed on my face.

We sat in the middle of the room on a large couch. 'Look, this was you when you were 3!'The first picture in the picture book was me in the garden, hand in hand with Narcissa, The pictures moved and you could see us walking but it turned into slow running.After 13 minutes we got to the second photo book, a few tears had already rolled down my cheeks. Narcissa hands it to me. When I want to flip it open young Draco smiles at me.

I gulp. The moment with Draco half an hour ago came up again.

Pov Draco

I sprint downstairs, trying to forget the moment I just had with Juliette. I have to protect her and to protect her she has to stay as far away from me as possible. As long as she doesn't have a Dark Mark everything is okay. A nauseous feeling creeps up on me. I see my father standing at the bottom of the stairs. 'The Dark Lord wishes to speak with you.' I stand still on the second to last step for 3 seconds and look up at the door where I left Juliette. I would give anything to run back and hold her in my arms but- I suddenly feel my father's wand stinging my shoulder. 'Go.' he hisses and without giving my father a glance I walk past him. 'Yes father' I stand in front of the large doors that lead into the dining room. A smile appears on my face as I remember how Juliette and I used to run through this door when dinner was ready. I grab the cold iron door handle with my right hand and I hear my rings tapping on the iron. I take another large breath and open the door. I see Voldemort smiling narrowly. I smile back uncomfortably. 'I wanted to thank you for bringing Juliette,' his voice echoes between the walls that until recently I felt so safe between but now with Voldemort here I would prefer to run through the front door with Juliette and never come back. 

'You and Juliette?' 'No.''Really not?''No.' I look uncomfortably at my feet still knowing very well what just happened between her and me.'Thank goodness, because then you probably won't have any problems with my plan,' I close my eyes and clench my jaws not knowing how to react. I want ask further but it is noticeable. Don't say anything Draco.Hold yourself together.I nod and rush out of the room. 'Draco darling,' Bellatrix stops me, she tilts her head and looks at me with a questioning look. 

'What's the matter.'

'Nothing.'
