You lie on the rug until you can control your breathing. As soon as you can to sit up slowly. You take your time as you stand up.
Don't be so pathetic woman!
Your pocket begins to vibrate. You pull out the phone to see Draco's name appear on your screen. You decline the call.
You step back into the fireplace and shout "Greengrass Manor" and you step back out of the fireplace and into the Greengrass living room. Luna, Blaise, Theo, Daphne, Astoria, Pansy and Ron are all there waiting for you.
You hand Daphne the papers and licence.
"Evee you are a star."
"Yeah I am not feeling great guys. I think I am going to head home. Is that ok or do you have more you need done?"
"No that is it. Theo and I were hoping that you guys would all consider staying. We wanted to have one last night of drinking with our friends before the wedding. But if you aren't feeling well..."
"No I just need a power nap. I will be fine in an hour or two."
"Really?" She says excitedly.
"Really."
"Great. Well in that place we are all staying in Grimmauld Place tonight. We shall all meet there at about 7pm."
"Sounds good. I am just going to have a lie down."
"I will come and check on you in a little bit," Pansy offered.
You smiled and headed back home, going straight up stairs and straight into bed.
You don't remember falling asleep but you must have. You hear Binx purring loudly in the corner when you wake up to the room in total darkness. You flick on your bedside lamp.
"That thing is so cool," you hear a voice in the corner say. You don't even need to look to see who it is.
"What are you doing here Draco?"
"Pansy was coming to check on you so I said I would do it."
"Why?"
"Because you scared the shit out of me. What happened to you today?"
"It's nothing. I am fine."
"You are not fine," he said coming closer and sitting on the edge of the bed. "You can tell me you know." He reached out and took your hand.
It felt nice. You forgot how much you craved his touch.
He is not yours Evee! Careful!
You pull your hand out of his. "Where is Ursula?" you ask.
"I knew that sounded bad – what she said. It's not what you think we went –"
"I don't want to hear I-" he puts his hand over your mouth.
"You DO need to hear. It sounded like we went on a date which we did not. Ursula is part of a case we have been working on. Her dad was missing and we looked into it. We found him and her dad took us out as a thank you. Me, Harry, Jonathan, Ursula and Ursula's girlfriend Olivia."
"Um?"
"Yes her girlfriend. Do you think I would go on a date with someone else when I am busy trying to win you back?"
"Busy...what?"
"You heard me."
"But you...you left this morning."
"Because I freaked out that you would wake up and say it was a mistake. That you would tell me it was –"
"I wouldn't have. I woke up happier than I have been in ages. Until I realised you weren't there."
