T.W mentioning rape.
......

It's been a month of secrecy with Draco Malfoy, hiding in the room of requirements studying... or trying to.
Somethings just can't work out with Draco and I. Draco pushes back because he's worried I'm moving on too fast, then I'm pushing back because I don't want to hurt him... We tell each other we could be written in the stars or we couldn't.
It's always one or the other never both.

Jessamine's Flashback-

"We've been studying all day, Draco" Jessamine moans as she lets her head fall onto her papers.
"Because we have to," Draco says as he kisses the girl's cheek not putting any attention away from his paper.

"We can take a break" Jessamine kisses Draco's chin,
"I guess we could" The boy sighs as he lifts his head from his paper, he had purple circles under his eyes, the girl put her thumbs under his eyes and massages the purple circles that made him tired and weak.

"Don't do that weirdo" Draco chuckles and takes her hands off of his eyes, then takes his hands off of hers to place his hands on her face and kisses her softly.
She always gasped when he did this because usually, the kisses they gave each other were short and subtle. But sometimes they felt like they were always meant to be written in the stars...

End of flashback...

"Earth to Jessa," Nia says exhaustedly as she leans the side of her head against the palm of her hand. We were at lunch currently with everyone, Draco on my left with Nia on my right. Theo and Blaise were sitting in front of us.

"Oh- sorry what?" I get out of my trans and look up to see that Nia was trying to get my attention.
"Did you drink last night?" Theo laughed as Blaise joined in.
"No" I scoff we had a small party last night just with a couple of people but I only had water.

"Hey, Jessa?" I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around to see Harry Potter.
"Oh hey Harry, could we talk later I'm-"
"We need to talk now"
"Oh uh- okay" I nod to everyone at my table but Draco latched onto my wrist,
"Don't talk to Potter"
"I'll be back, I promise"

I walk off with Harry and leave the great hall. He brings me to a room and shuts the door.
"Uh Harry"
"I'm not going to hurt you, but I wanted to ask you something you can't tell anyone"
"Sure Harry, what is it?"
"I want you to join my club, since Voldemort's back I wanted you to be on our side"

I stopped to think about it, what would I tell Draco? That I'm studying? No. I can't lie to him. But I have to protect myself from what's coming for me.

"Yes or no?" Harry asks
"Yes" I mutter
"I will see you in the room that hides but shows itself in a time of need," Harry said as he turns and leaves the small room. The room of requirement.

I forgot to ask him about Voldemort...

...

"Ah, Jessamine! Happy to see you here with us" Professor Umbridge smiles as people turn their attention to me. This was the only class Draco and I didn't have together so I frowned and went to my spot with an awkward silence following me.

"Hi Jessa," Hermione whispers, she always sat next to me in this class. Which was a plus because she would help me study later.
"Hey Hermione"

.

After my last class, I walk to the common room to relax before dinner.

"Hey," I say as I take a seat on the couch next to Draco, I rest my head on his shoulder as he flinched.
"What?" I continue lifting my head from his shoulder.
