Shadows Know Me

Chapter six

Waking up in the middle of the night I pull the sheets tighter around me. I felt my foot touch something and I turn to see Malfoy next to me.

"What the fuck Draco!" I yelled startling him.

He jumps up and scratches his head. He doesn't say anything and just looks in confusion.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned wondering why he's even here.

"Sorry. I had a bad dream." He apologized looking scared.

"Aww did the little baby have a nightmare? Get out of my bed. This is weird." I complain while he's still sitting next to me.

"I know we aren't close like we were when we were little. I know you don't remember. It hurts though that you don't remember how close we were." He ranted.

"Draco we were like 6 or 7. Of course it's creepy to me that you're laying next to me. We are 18 in the same bed." I go on.

He looked upset and sad but his emotions are so hard to read. I sit closer to him and give him a hug just to see what he would do and he just starts sobbing out of nowhere.

"Mae I can't do this. The dark lord has been making me do things I don't want to do. It's consuming me and I'm having nightmares about it." He says in all seriousness.

"You don't mean?"

"Yes. Lord Voldemort. Has your mum even told you anything?" He looks up from my shoulders.

"She hasn't been lately I've gotten weird messages from a book that words vanish. Notes warning me because of my families betrayal for moving." I go on.

"He is not the one you want to disobey Mae. This business is serious." He cried out with stress.

I thought of this whole situation was weird but now things are becoming understandable on why my parents wanted to leave. Now I have to go through what my parents escaped from.

Draco leaves from my arms and gets up. He started heading towards the door but I didn't want to be left alone now.

"Draco, where are you going?" I asked.

"Back to my room." He snarled with coldness in his voice again. This man is bipolar.

"Please stay with me." I begged.

"You make it clear you don't want me around. I'll give you space." He stated.

I get up and grab his arm pulling him back into my room. His body pulled close to mine feeling his heart against my ear. I haven't been this close to anyone before unless they were my close friends.

I hold onto his body tight letting all my stress to leave my body. Everything is overwhelming and things Eve and Grace don't have to face, tried consuming me. They don't understand like he does.

He picks me up and pushes me back onto the bed. He climbs in bed with me and for a while we just lay on our backs staring at the ceiling. He gets closer to me laying his hand on my chest. Looking away at the ceiling I stare into his eyes.

You could see the fear and all the stressed piled up in his head. Tension between us even though I don't remember much of our past life before I moved as I felt my stomach turn. He presses his lips on my forehead and wraps his arms around me.

"I made a promise once." He says with his arms gripping tighter.

"And what was the promise?" I ask back.

"When I was younger I promised after everything happened that I'd protect you." He confessed.

"Protect me from what?" I asked.

"From this cruel world your parents tried keeping you away from. There's a possibility that your parents obliviated certain memories." He assured while not letting go.

"My parents wouldn't do that." I faltered.

"You have no past memories of our family. When I first saw you I knew who you were. You don't remember. That's enough proof that your memories are absent." He confirmed.

I could really feel the tension now. He's arms wrapping on my waist tightly like he owned me. Chemistry I didn't think was there. He lifts my chin up to look at him as his hands are now pressing my hips into the bed.

His hand making his way to the side of my face as I don't know how to react or how I'm feeling. His lips slowly touch mine. They were soft and while we slowly kiss I could feel his body pressing against mine. He suddenly pulls away and looks at me for a while.

"Sorry. We should go to bed." He whispered.

I pull him close to me again making our lips touch once more. I couldn't feel him pull away again,we were closer than before. He flips me on top of him without our lips parting away and his hands grip hard impressing his nails into my skin. No thoughts run through my mind as it continued for a while.

He finally let go while I laid on him with the sheets wrapped around my skin.

"Now we should probably get rest." I suggest as he plays with the long strands of my hair.

"Goodnight Mae." He whispered softly.

~~~

The drapes fly open with the sun blaring in my eyes. I could still feel my body on his.

"Looks like you two didn't need a separate room." Narcissa observed as we scramble to get up.

"Sorry mother. Nightmares happened again." He apologized getting himself up.

"Breakfast is downstairs. After you two should have time to make it for your classes." Narcissa informed.

We eat breakfast but there was nothing but silence. Not a word from Draco. Not a word from Narcissa. His father still not present. I just pick at the food on my plate wondering what last night meant. Wondering why I let it happen. Wondering if he actually cares or if he was just being selfish.

We grabbed the port key and made it back to Hogwarts. I head to my dorm to get dressed in my uniform and I hear the familiar knocks on my door.

"Ready for classes?" Eve screamed with excitement. Grace just as excited.

"Yeah I think I'm ready." I try to share the excitement.

"Looks like you barely got sleep. You doing ok?" Grace observed looking worried.

"Um yeah, I was just nervous about classes so I couldn't make it to breakfast and slept in." I lied.

"Come on let's go!" Eve pulls on my arm launching me out of my dorm.

Us three only have this class together. Other classes we don't have with each other. It's charms class and I seat myself but realize Draco is seated behind me with Blaise still stuck by his side and Pansy wrapping her arm around him like they are glued together.

I glance over to him and his face is completely emotionless. I open my books and focus the whole class ignoring Grace and Eve fooling around. Once class is over I make my way out the door until I felt a hand tug my arm.

"Hey, you wanna join me and a couple friends in my dorm tonight?" Blaise had asked impulsively.

"Uh yea, sure." I answered back fast.

"Meet me in the common room at 8 pm. Don't be late." Blaise smiled.
