He continue to hold onto me as if his life depends on me. I close my eyes as I gently caress his hair. I can feel his body relaxing as he keeps crying softly. Just what happened to the Draco I know? He's changed... he's so different now.

-Our Hidden Secrets-

Draco slowly starts to calm down. I try to pull away to look at him, but he didn't let me. He just tightens his arms around me. I just let him hold onto me as long as he wants, because I know how he's feeling right now.

"He... he chose me... I don't want this. I'm tired, Y/N... I tried... but I c-can't d-do it..." he said, after he calmed down. I pull away and looks at him. "Chose you?" I said, in a questioning tone. He lift his arm and slowly rolled up his sleeve.

My eyes widened when I saw what's on his arm. The Dark Mark. "Draco... y-you're..." I stuttered our. His tears streams down his cheeks once again. "It wasn't m-my choice, Y/N... HE t-threaten m-me..." he cried out. My eyes soften. I walk towards him and wrap my arms around his neck.

"He said... he's going to kill you. I don't want that to happen... so I have to... I don't want to... please... d-don't h-hate me..." he said. I pull away and cups his cheeks. "Look at me..." I said. He did as told. I wipe his tears softly.

"I don't hate you, Draco... I know... what it feels like to have no choice. You're not the only one..." I said. He looks at me in confusion. I let out a sigh and turn away from him.

"You're not the only one who's been keeping secrets Draco... I have secrets too..." I said. I lift my hand and show him the tattoo on my the back of my hand. He looks at the tattoo in confusion.

"I only have 170 days left... until the claiming day" I said. "Claiming?" He said, I can see confusion in his face. I let out a sigh and move to sit down on a chair. He sits in front of me, waiting for me to continue.

"My great-great-great-great mother... or in short, my ancestor. She used a spell to bring back someone she loved from the dead. It was a black magic... it is forbidden to bring someone back to life. As a result, she was cursed. Every child after her will have no choice... other family are able to decide, but not us. On our sixteen moons, our true nature will decide which side we're on... Dark or Light..." I said. Draco just stare at me, as if he's trying to process what I'm trying to say.

"Sixteen Moon?" He said. "Birthday... my b'day will be coming in 170 days... exactly on (birthday). When that day come... I might not be who I am now. When I turn dark, I won't be able to control myself... all of you are so scared of the Dark Lord. But trust me... I can be a lot worse if my nature claimed me as Dark" I said.

"That means... your Boggart..." he started, as he just realize something. "This is my biggest fear, Draco... going Dark. I've told you that, remember? That day when you came after me?" I said, nodding my head. He nods his head, letting me know he remember that day. "So... what might happened?" He said. I let out a sigh as I know he will be asking about that.

"What do you know about the History of Magic?" I said. He furrow his eyebrow in confusion. "Well... I know it started from the four founder..." he said. I shake my head, laughing softly. This makes Draco looks even more confused.

"That's what you all learnt. But that's far from the truth, Draco... this is the truth... the four founder of magic came AFTER us... after my ancestors. The Duchannes family..." I said.

"We are able to use magic... without wands. One is stronger than the rest. We go by a different name, as we much preferred to be call Casters. Then when the curse starts, they decided to reduce their magic by giving it away to trees. The trees that provided the woods used by crafters to make wands. We gave it, therefore it's easy for us to take everything back. It will make our magics grow a lot stronger. Only the Dark Casters that are thirsty for power. That is what I'll do if I turn Dark, Draco. I can take all of your magic to make myself stronger and I might use it to take over the world" I said. His eyes widened in shock.

"Decades have passed. The magic in my family have been altered to hold the curse at bay. It can't ever be erase completely, we can only alter it. For now, we can control our magic. But that's only until our sixteen birthday due to my ancestor who kept on trying to reduce the magic in my bloodline so we won't be too powerful. All of that because we're scared we might hurt a soul. That leads us to my generation. Now... all of my family needs to use some sort of magic accessories to help them use magic. Then not long after that, the four founder came. Merlin was the closest person to my ancestors... he can use magic without wand. Now my family believe that his blood is flowing in my vein... they all believe that I'm the reincarnation of Merlin... the closest descendant of my ancestors. That's why I'm able to use magic without wand nor any sort of accessory..." I said. I turn to look at Draco. He have a look of shock written all over this face.

"Now you understand, Draco? This is why I always try to keep my distance from all of you. I acted cold, I acted like I have no heart... I acted like I don't care because I'm scared. I don't want to hurt anyone if I turn Dark. But you... Harry, Hermione and Ron alone with the others taught me how to love... how to care. All of you became important to me. So, Draco... don't say that I don't care for you... because I do... so please, don't push me away" I said. He just pulls me into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know how hard it was for you. All this time I thought my life was hard. But when I heard what you've been through. I realize that there are others that lives a harder path than mine. Thank you, Y/N... thank you for opening my eyes..." he said. I close my eyes and wrap my arms around his torso, leaning my head against his chest.

He pulls away and glance at my right eye. I let out a sigh, knowing he's wondering if my right eye have something to do with the curse. I lift my hand and take e eyepatch of. His eyes widened when he sees the rainbow orb.

He place his hand on my cheek, as he take a closer look at my rainbow orb. I lift my hand and gently place it on top of his which is still on my cheek. I can see the curiosity in his eyes.

"I'm the only one in my family with an eye like this, since I'm different from them because I'm not only holding one bloodline but two. The Duchanne's and Merlin. This rainbow orb will turn into one specific color once I've been claimed. Silver if I'm Light... or gold if I'm Dark... and I have no idea which one I'll be... in 170 days... I might not be the same Y/N..." I said.

Draco life the other hand and place it on my cheek as well, cupping my face softly. "You'll always be Y/N to me..." he said, in a hush tone. My eyes widened at his words.

"After all these years... I'm still madly... and deeply in love with you" he said. "Draco..." I said, having no idea what to say. He gently grab my hands and place them close to his chest. I can feel his heart beating rapidly.

"I know you're still hurting. But please... give me a chance... let me be your rebound, Y/N..." he said. I just stare at him. He slowly leans down, placing his forehead against mine. "Please..." he begged.

What should I do?
