eighty-three

i smile as i look at the dress i put on, the same one i wore on valentine's day. draco said he would meet me at the resturaunt, and he promised this time. i grab my wand and tuck it into my dress, my legs are slightly sore and my lower stomach aches. draco took the sheets off of his bed this morning and put them somewhere so he could wash them. i don't even remembering being in so much pain but i guess the pleasure overwhelmed it.

i sigh as i walk out of my room and down the stairs "liz" i hear someone say. i turn and look at pansy on the couch. i sigh, not in the mood to deal with her right now, "pansy" i say and she looks at me. "listen, liz, i can tell that you make draco very happy, for some reason, and i care for him. so i'd like to apologize for things that i've said and i hope we can put this stuff in the past" she says and i look at her for a moment. i try to figure out if she's trying to play some joke on me or if she's actually genuine.

i figure the best way to work things out with me and draco, is to forgive her. "can you just promise me something" i ask and she shrugs "what is it" she asks. "please stop trying to make a move on draco, i don't care if it's only to make me jealous, just stop. i trust him, but i can't trust my mind not to make me freak out" i say and she nods "alright."

i smile as i turn around as start to walk out of the common room, taken back by what just happened. i still don't know if she was genuine or if she just wanted to see if i would believe her. but for now, i'm going to believe she's genuine.

i walk into the resturaunt, the same waiter from last time noticing me. "welcome back miss.alure" he says and i laugh "hi again" i say. "follow me" he nods, leading me to the back table again. "i hope you don't have to wait as long as last time, you don't deserve that" he says and i sigh as i sit down "i hope so too" i laugh and he nods as he walks away.

looking at the clock on the wall it reads five passed six, usually i wouldn't be worried. but seeing what happened last time, i can't help but think i'm getting blown off again. i turn my head just in time to see draco walking in the door. his classic black suit shows off his body, the ring i got him being the only one on his hand. our eyes meet and he smiles as he walks to the table.

he sits down in front of me and i notice how tired his eyes look. "sorry i'm a little late" he sighs and i shrug "no problem, everything alright" i ask and he looks at me. "everything's fine" he nods and i smile "you look amazing, elizabeth" his eyes travel down to my breasts before looking back up at me. "i was going to get you flowers but then i was running late and i didn't want you to give up on me" he laughs and i shrug "it's fine, draco. i'm just glad you showed up" i say and he rolls his eyes.

the waiter walks over to the table and hands me and draco each a menu. as i reach up to grab it he notices my wrists, i mentally curse myself for not covering the marks. he looks at me and then at draco, then back at me. "what can i get you two to drink" he asks and i sigh as i look at draco.

we both order our drinks and once the waiter walks away draco looks down at his hands, fidgeting with the ring on his finger. "are you okay" i ask and he looks at me "please stop asking me that" he says. "i'm just making sure, you seem upset" i say and he lets out a breath "elizabeth, fucks sake ju-" he stops and sighs "just please" he says and i nod.

he has to leave in the middle of the day, after a letter from his father that was sent urgently. he wouldn't let me read it, he just left, promised me that he would be at dinner.

the silence between us grows and finally the waiter brings our drinks. "what can i get you to eat" he asks and i look at draco, his head in his hands, not even paying attention. "i think we're just going to go, here's this for the drinks and the tip. thank you" i sigh and draco looks up at me. "elizabeth, no i-" "it's alright" i shake my head and he sighs. i hand the waiter the money and stand up.

draco sighs as he stands up "i'm sorry, elizabeth. i didn't mean to ruin the night" he says and i shake my head as we walk out. "don't worry about it" i sigh, though i am disappointed. i'm not goign to trouble him about it. though, whatever it is seems to really upset him.

we get back to hogwarts and i sigh as we walk into the common room "do you want to go up to my room" i ask and he looks at me. "can we lay in my room" he asks and i nod. i grab his hand and we walk up the stairs to his room.

we get inside and he sighs as he takes his shirt off "draco, are you okay" i ask and he looks at me "just having a bad day, that's all" he nods and i sigh. i change into one of his shirts and lay down in his bed. once he's changed he looks at me. he walks over to the bed and lays his head on my chest and wraps his arms around my waist. i sigh as i look down at him "i'm sorry i ruined the dinner" he sighs and i shake my head. "don't worry about it, everyone has their bad days. we'll be okay" i say as i run my hand through his hair.

i feel his body relax on mine and he sighs "i'm so tired, elizabeth" he says. "get some rest then, draco. i'll be here when you wake up" i say and he shakes his head "no, i'm not tired tired. i'm tired of all of this dark mark shit and evil. i just want to be able to live my life without worrying about this stuff" he sighs and i nod. "i know, draco. but don't worry, it'll all work out. and we'll run away to a big house but not too big of a house, with hundred's of acres and a huge library" i say, remembering the fantasty of us he came up with one time.

"you'd really do that with me, elizabeth" he says and i smile as i continue to run my hand through his hair "of course" i say and he sighs. "i'm sorry but i'm also tired tired so i'm going to sleep" he says and i laugh. he closes his eyes and i smile as i look down at him. "goodnight, i love you" i sigh "i love you too, elizabeth" he breathes out.
