The New Slytherin Heir and His Princess

Great Hall

I woke up next morning with Draco next to me.

 What happened? Flashes of last night came to my eyes. Draco was still sleeping. If I could just go back to the girls dorm it would be a miracle, considering Draco's grip was very strong. 

Unfortunately, Draco woke up. "Good morning." He said rubbing his eyes. "Good morning handsome." I said getting up the bed. I checked the time by the watch on his bedside table. "We're late to class!" I said and attempted to jump off the bed.

 "I don't think we're going to run to class are we?" He said helping me up as I could not stand up properly. "No." I said sniffly. I was not the typical nerd but I focused hard on my studies all the same and I hated it when I could not go to class. 

"Well if it means that much to you.. drink this" He said pouring me a glass of water. I drank the water and I could walk now...weird...did he put something in my drink, who knows.

 Luckily, it turned out Draco's watch was 1 hour faster than it was supposed to be...typical Draco.

 We quickly got showered and wore our school uniforms. Yeah, Draco said "Accio Robe" and my robe came flying through the window. We found the students were still in the great hall. We went to the Clocktower just to make sure we were not late. We weren't, thank the good lord.

 Draco laced his hand in mine as we walked to the Great Hall like a couple, I was shy but I held on. A few of the Slytherins were clapping, a few looking extremely jealous. "She stole our prince!" One brunnete girl said. "Calm down Astoria." another skinny girl said who I recognized as Daphne Greengrass, one of Draco's friends.

 We sat down with a few of his friends, Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy, Blaise and Theodore. "So you two finally did 'it'?" Pansy asked us as we sat down. I raised my eyebrow and started eating. "I'll answer if you confess." I said as Draco told a joke making us laugh our heads off. "I guess I'll have to wait then." She said.

 "What is the topic you two?" Blaise asked us looking confused, and interested. "Relationships." Pansy said easily. Blaise blushed slightly. I knew why: Blaise had a huge crush on Pansy and Pansy also had one on Blaise. The clock rang again and we went to the dungeons for Potions.

 Potions was gloomy, as usual. Draco put his bag over his shoulder and did not wait for me. That was weird. He never left without me. "Illusionato." I said putting a Disillusionment Charm on myself. 

I quietly followed Draco to floor seven. He stopped in front of a wall and closed his eyes and walked past the wall three times. It changed into a door. The Room of Requirement......that can't be right can it?

 I followed him through the door, trying to remain as stealthy as possible, but failing miseerably.

 "Who's there?" He said as I dropped a cup from the table. "Hominium Reveilo." Draco said and my charm lifted off. "Oh so it's you." He said looking relieved, letting out a deep sigh.

 "Why did you leave with without me and what are you doing here?" I asked him, hands on my hips and a bit angry. "I can't answer that." He said rubbing his forearm and I understood what that meant. 

I strode over to him and lifted his sleeve up to see his mark. I gently pressed it with my wand. "What are you doing to it?" Draco asked me as his mark stopped pulsing. 

"Reducing the pain you idiot." I said as he walked towards a cupboard. "I can't hide it from you anymore. I am a death eater and working on a job to kill Dumbledore." He blurted out as he held his blonde head in his hands.

 "I suppose this is a Vanishing Cabinet?" I asked him, not even acknowledging what he said. 

"Yes, I need to fix it so that the other death eaters can come into the school and kill Dumbledore."

 "I see." I remembered that I had seen a Vanishing cabinet in Borgin and Burkes. "Harmonia Nectere Passus." I said to the cabinet...knowing the spell by heart.

"How  do you know that? That's supposed to be very Dark Magic. And only those who are associated with the Dark Lord can perform that spell." He asked, his eyes widening slightly.

 I did not respond. We tried a few more times putting random objects in it and then performing the spell closing the door and then opening it to see if it's gone.

 "It'll take time." I said shaking my head as we walked out the room. "Yes." Draco responded. He started kissing me again desperately. "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asked as we broke away from each other, lips swollen from the kiss. 

"Of course." I said. After classes we went back to the common room. A few 3rd years were reading the noticeboard looking excited. "Hogsmeade on 24th." Draco read out.

 "We can do our Christmas shopping for ourselves and our family." Draco said. 

"I don't have family." I muttered, a sad expressing fliting across my face. Draco raised his eyebrows. "Of course you do." He said. I shook my head and said "My mother died last year and my father doesn't even know he has a child."  

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know." He apologised, holding me a bit tighter now.

 As I was sleeping I had another one of my dreams...nightmares. I woke up, panting. I tiptoed to the Boys Dormitory, desperate for some comfort from Draco.

 "Draco!" I whisper-yelled shaking him awake. He himself looked like he had a bad dream as he bolted up. He looked at me critically and asked, "Bad Dream?" I nodded. "Come here." He said holding his arms out. I lay down beside him. "I love you." I heard him whisper into my hair. The dreams stopped after I slept with Draco. He always had a calming effect on me.
