Holiday felt like it was never going to end.

From the second she stepped back onto platform 9 ¾ she wished she was back in sheets with Draco. Holding him and him holding her after long hours of passion and desire. It was like she was made for him. Fitting perfectly as he would thrust–

She loved her holiday. Scarlett didn't do much but spend time with her family but it was enough. The one thing she didn't love though was the letter she got within the first week.

My Love Amara,

I will not be able to talk much over the holiday...

I'm truly sorry

-Draco

And she didn't hear an owl scratch at her window for two and a half months.

It was torturous. She wanted to write to him, she felt like she may have been disturbing him.

She didn't bring up Draco Malfoy to her parents because they know the Malfoys past. Who their loyalties were too during the war. But that's not Draco, that's his family...it's his father. Merlin, just the thought of Lucius Malfoy makes her blood boil. Draco never said much about his father but from what she had heard from Harry, he was never kind.

The sound of the train stopping got her out of her recap of the Summer. The noise echoed through the station.

Scarlett waved goodbye to her parents like every year before stepping on the train. She set her bags with the rest and went to find Draco. She was searching vigorously trying to find the ice blond-headed boy, cart after cart, after cart, and still no sign of him.

Her heart was almost beating out of her chest. She hasn't seen or heard from him in over two and a half months. That stupid letter with no information, no signal to know if he's dead or alive.

Stop over thinking this. He's fine.

She had to remind herself.

But then, at the very last cart, she heard the voice. The dark voice that sent shivers from the fine hairs on her scalp to the tip of her toes. She stopped in her tracks. She doesn't know what he said, it was muffled by everyone talking around them, but it was not kind or heart warming. It was demeaning and agonizing.

She started walking again until she saw Blaise look up right at her, then following Pansy. They both had a slight smirk on their face looking up at Scarlett.

"What the bloody hell are you—" Draco said, turning his torso in his seat then stopped when he saw her.

His eyes lit up and a short smile appeared as if she was the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. Draco quickly gets up and takes her hand leading her to a compartment. She waves goodbye to Blaise and Pansy before being dragged. They haven't even spoken one word to each other

With a wave of his hand, all the blinds went down and the door locked.

"Oh, how I have missed you.'' He whispered wrapping his arms around Scarlett's waist like it's been a lifetime since they've seen each other. Touched each other.

Scarlett went on her tippy-toes to wrap her hands around his neck. Holding one another tight as if they never want to let go. Wrapped in each other's embrace.

She was warm, so warm and cozy. Scarlett could feel the coldness through his clothes.

"I have missed you so much more." She replied into his chest.

They didn't let go, didn't want to let go.

But when they finally did, Draco dove down for a long hungry kiss. Putting his cold hands decorated with metal rings along her cheeks pulling her in closer. Soft lips meeting hers, his tongue lightly brushing her bottom lip, her hands still pulling him by his neck down.
