"What are you laughing at?"

Alexandra Stone.

Christmas break was coming not that it would be different for us. But it still would. Everyone was going home to visit their families as if it would be the last time seeing them. It was different this year. Actual Christmas was here and they went home after Christmas. Probably for safety. I didn't blame them. But it was odd. And for some it might. Draco explained to me, the death eaters are ruthless. They will do anything to get what the dark lord wants.

Death.

Murder.

Anything.

It scared me just a bit. I wasn't scared of death though. I know it wouldn't be so bad. But for Draco it would be. I would want him to live for me. I'd want him to. I would die for him. Anyone knows that. He would die for me too. But as I said. I just have this feeling that something bad is going to happen on May 1st. Something horribly bad.

Draco wasn't being straight forward about it. He knew something bad was going to happen.
I got snapped out of my thoughts by Draco clapping in my face. "Can you hear me?" He said laughing. Which was very rare.

Only fake laughs to cover his fear. "Anyway what I was saying is I am going to have to leave for one day to go to a meeting and get more information also to report back." He spoke with softness not to frighten her.

She didn't want to be left alone here. "Theodore will be gone as well. He's going to see his dad. Not that his dad cares about him that much, but same goes with mine. I'm just scared I'll turn out like my father." Draco said which caught her attention.

"What?" She questioned him walking over to him. She sat next to him on their bed. The room was cold. And seemed to be getting colder by what he had just said. He was afraid he was going to turn out like his father.

"I am afraid I'll turn out like my father. Brutal. Ruthless. Murderer. Careless. Selfish. Ungrateful." He spoke with agony. "I hate him. I do. He made my mother into this cold dying depressed person." He said.

"She needs light in her life. And I don't want to have that effect on you. I don't want to make you like my father made my mother." He said sadly.

"Draco. You would never ever do anything to ruin my life. You are nothing like you're father. You're nothing but cold. You're the opposite. Warm. Even if your skin is cold and people see you as cold. That's only because you put on a cold front."

"I see you different. And if we have a kid you'll love it. I can see you with kids. Two kids. Nothing like your father— far from your father. But lovable." She said making him feel better. A lot better about himself. He smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Thank you." He said against her chest. As she straddled him— hugging him affectionately. And he did thank her.

Draco was standing near the door with his wand and a little bag full of his things he takes everywhere. He kissed her cheek not going to the door. "Don't you—" She began but was cut off. "Did you forget Dumbledore lied. You can Apperate within the walls of Hogwarts." He said smirking. "I love you." They both said at the same time in the silence.

Draco closed his eyes as she stepped back. "Apperate." He left leaving her there with tears in her eyes. She went their bed quietly turning off her lamp going to sleep.

The next morning Draco hadn't returned yet. She knew it would be sometime that day for him to return. Only few students were there as a lot of them were spending the two weeks to say their goodbyes. She tended to overthink when she was without Draco. It hurt not having him there.

She got up going into the common room to see it was empty but trashed. No one helped clean up sense the Christmas party. She remembered Marcus falling over a loose floorboard and laughed out loud. "What are you laughing at?" A voice spoke coming down the stairs. Crabbe came down the stairs. "Look here no one else but us in this common room. In the dungeons." He squealed.

She closed her eyes going back to Draco's dorm. "Where are you going?" He asked following her right on her heel. She was putting the key in the lock when he was so close. She opened the door and just as she was about to shut it an arm went into the door causing it to remain open unable to be shut. She gasped.

"Go away." She shrieked. He didn't and he forced himself in the room cornering her. "I don't feel like it. And where's Malfoy now?" He asked grabbing her hips. "Right here." Said a voice running in and shooting a curse at him. "Capacious Extremis!" Quickly Crabbe dropped her and was expanded even more than he already was he eventually made his way to the door floating out into the high ceiling common room.

"Crabbe is going to be there for a long time." Draco said going over to her. She wasn't traumatized as last time but was better. She went into his arms and sighed. "I am so grateful for you." She said going on her toes to kiss him. She did electricity shot through them both.

Draco started to get an erection and groaned. The kiss turned into a make-out. She drew an inch from his lips, "Already?" She muttered smirking. He smiled. "Jump." Draco demanded. She jumped and he caught her. Before they continued they stopped to the sound of footsteps approaching their room.

They snapped apart quickly pretending to be cleaning something. Draco just jumped to his bed and was fake sleeping. She too gave up cleaning and did the same 'sleeping' on his chest. As she gripped his fingers a knock came from the door. They could easily tell it was Snape by the delayed knocks.

They both released fingers and fake slept. They could easily fake sleep. And the door shot open by a relaxed Snape. He walked over to the bed examining the young couple. He bought it. He thought they were sleeping. He crouched down beside them remembering his young days— with the famous Lily Evans, and the infamous James Potter. Well according to him.

He teared up at the sight of them and left quietly. Alexandra felt sympathy for the poor man. He just wanted to be happy. And of course the one woman he loved chose the bully— the mean one. And she heard all of this from Harry one night while in the library studying. She frowned while she still had her eyes closed.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked calmly. "It's just I feel bad for him. He fell in love with Harry's Mum, and she chose Harry's dad. Who was cowardice and rude to them. He slapped books from out of their hands and didn't apologize just stood their while they had to pick them up and he smirked at them. He probably misses Lily Evans. Not Lily Potter." She said feeling horrible.

Snape didn't have anyone. He was all alone and depressed. "I found out all of this from Harry while we were studying last year. He probably feels like a mistake." She said and Draco scrunched his lips biting the inside of his cheek. "Do you think he came in here because of Crabbe?" Draco said and Alexandra nodded with a smile.

"But I guess we are a reminder of what he had."
