Alicia Snape (Book 7)

Chapter 1

~Dream~

A green flash flew from my wand and Dumbledore began to fall.

There was a flash and I was looking in his tomb.

Another flash and Harry's angry face viewed in my mind.

All of the bad events of last year kept on repeat until I finally woke up.

~End of dream~

I woke with a start and put my head in between my knees.

I never had a good night's sleep since his death.

I haven't used the necklace since then not having the guts to talk to him.

I looked out the window and sighed.

I hated being who I was. I wanted to be good. I wanted to do great things.

I wanted to be better than my mom.

But now I can't see any of that happening.

And it killed me.

I heard my door open and softly close and I kept staring already knowing who it was.

I felt his arms around me and he kissed my forehead.

"What are you thinking love?"

"Nothing important."

He sighed and turned me to him.

He stroked my face and stared at my frown.

"I miss your smile."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You're going through a hard time."

"Yeah."

He sighed again and looked at my suitcase.

"Why are you staring at that?" I asked him curiously.

"Because I'm debating on packing your stuff up and hiding you."

"What?" I asked stepping back in shock.

"You heard me."

"Draco that's too risky. I'm not doing this."

"I know you want to help Potter. I know your miserable. I want you happy."

"Your crazy."

"Maybe so. But your happiness is more important to me. I don't care how much pain he puts me through."

"But I do."

"Well don't. If there's a chance I can make you happy while he is in power so be it."

"Draco."

"It was only a thought love."

"A horrid thought."

"That's your opinion."

I sighed and turned out the window.

"As much as I would love to run and hide I can't. He would find me."

"And why do you say that?"

"He's the Dark Lord. He can influence anyone he wants and get answers. No matter how much you trust them."

"Not from me."

"That's not what I meant love. I mean-"

"I know."

I sighed and sat on my bed.

He sighed and said "You know what I miss the most besides your smile?"
