ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 55

Draco and I knock on the door to the Malfoy Manor. Dark clouds surround us, as if we are in some creepy horror story.

The big doors open and we see my parents, and Draco's parents staring back at us.

"Show us your marks." Lucius says slowly.

Draco and I set down our bags, and begin to roll up our sleeves.

Mine comes into view, and so does Draco's. Narcissa looks visibly upset. And my father has his fingers over his mouth.

Lucius nods and we grab our bags to come inside.

As Draco and I pass by Narcissa, she grabs my arm, "You two go upstairs. I'll be up to talk with you in a bit."

Draco and I make it up the stairs, with dead silence behind us.

We arrive at Draco's room, and I set my things down there as we wait for Narcissa.

"I'm terrified." I whisper.

Draco takes a seat on his bed next to me.

"We'll be alright." he rubs my back slowly.

I lean in, and rest my cheek on his shoulder.

"I need to write to Cedric." I say.

He sighs, "I need to write to Samantha."

"We cheated Draco. We're cheaters." I tell him.

He laughs, "Cheaters for each other."

I listen carefully, and can hear our parents bickering downstairs.

"What do you suppose they're talking about?" I ask.

"Who could know. Probably talking about us. Probably about how they ruined our young lives." he says.

I nod.

Narcissa knocks on the door before entering. She seems to glide toward us.

She grabs a chair from Draco's desk and pulls it towards the bed, and sits down on it in front of us.

"I'm so sorry. You both don't deserve this. You're just teenagers. But I thought I would explain to the best of my ability." she says.

Draco and I stay silent as we listen.

"The Dark Lord decided about you two becoming one of us about a week ago. Unfortunately I cannot change his mind about any of this. I want you to have a good chance at a normal life. But, that's also something I can't change."

She looks at me, then at Draco, then back at me.

She grabs both of my hands and holds them in hers, "I want grand babies." her face lights up.

Draco tenses up, "Mother-"

"Oh hush!" she slaps Draco's arm, then her hand and gaze go back to me.

"I want to see them running around. You two would make beautiful children. I can just see them already." she sighs, "I know you're young and not at all ready. But, I don't want this whole situation getting in the way of a starting a new family."

A smile forms on my face.

"I'm just saying, I want the both of you to have every experience possible." her gaze shifts back and forth.

I think about myself pregnant with Draco's child. Right after we got back together seems a bit unsteady.

I don't think it's a good idea right now. But the way Narcissa talked about it made me feel so obligated.

Draco probably thinks the same thing.

I'm nervous about the outcome. Narcissa wants grandchildren, and i'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that Draco and I stay alive long enough for her to have exactly that.

"It's not up to me of course. This is all in your hands. But... I can't help myself." she says.

"I can maybe get off the pill?" I say hesitantly.

"Savanna that's-" Draco begins to say.

"Wonderful." Narcissa finishes the sentence with a smile.

She stands up and touches each of our cheeks with a hand, "I love you both so much."

She exits the room and shuts the door. Draco puts his face in his palms, "I'm pretty sure my mother loves you more than me."

I laugh slightly.

"Maybe she just likes that I agree with her." I say.

He comes up from his hands and kisses me gently, "We only have kids if you're comfortable with it." he says.

"How about this," I suggest, "Let's wait until i'm sixteen, like you. Maybe then we'll feel more prepared with it."

I definitely don't feel ready enough to have a baby. It's for sure not happening anytime soon.

My body is still young and weak, I don't know how some people have children at such a young age.

"I think that's a great idea." he says.

He smiles, "My mother was right about one thing."

"And that is?"

"We would make beautiful babies." he whispers.

He moves himself on top of me, and I am now between the bed and him.

He kissed my lips and then proceeds to shower me with kisses down my arm.

When he reaches my hand he kisses the top of it softly.

"Everyday I look at you, I fall more and more in love." he kisses my hand again.

His words send shivers down my spine, and a warmth through my body.

"God, I love you so damn much." I say.

Dear Cedric,

I hope this letter makes it to you well. You deserve an explanation.

This morning I left to go home for personal reasons.

I also left with Draco.

It seems we have some unresolved feelings for each other.

Its not proper that we continue on with our relationship.

I'm sorry for it coming to a halt so quickly. I wish I could explain myself better.

You treated me amazing, better than I should have been treated. I hope you find another girl that really and truly deserves your love.

Any girl would be lucky to have you.

- Savanna

Dear Samantha,

I still love Savanna.

We're done.

Deal with it.

- Draco
