Electra fell into a routine, especially now she was talking to Draco again. He would visit her frequently in the room but she much preferred when he would sneak her out of the room. Living in the confined space 24/7 began to drive her crazy. They'd hang out in his room or the prefect bathroom, anywhere with complete privacy and they would just hang out like they used to; before they were in the midst of a war. They'd play chess, read and laugh together. Sometimes Draco would steal alcohol from the kitchen and they'd get drunk together, drowning their problems with wine and liquor.
"Why Ron Weasley?" Draco asks one evening, the two of them laying on the floor, staring up at the ceiling whilst highly intoxicated.
"Because he's good," she slurs back, "He makes me a better person, brings out the good in me,"
The Dark Mark felt hot under his shirt, burning his skin, as he subconsciously reached for it.

"Here we are guys," Neville opens the portrait at the end of the tunnel, revealing the Room of Requirement to Harry, Ron and Hermione. The occupants of the room all turned to the door, their expressions brightening when they saw the Golden Trio had returned to Hogwarts.
The three were bombarded with hugs and cheers, Ginny notably ran straight to Harry to embrace him in a hug.
"Five months she hasn't seen me, it's like I'm Frankie First Year. I'm only her brother..." Ron grumbled to Seamus.
"She's got lots of them, but only one Harry."
"Shut up, Seamus,"
"Don't worry Ron," Ginny giggled whilst resting her head on Harry's shoulder, "I'm sure Electra will be all over you when she gets here." His eyes immediately bulge.
"She's at Hogwarts? I told her not to come here,"
"Calm down, she's been safe here with us," Ginny reassures him. Harry and Hermione's faces were not looking so impressed, when Ron informed them when he went missing for a few weeks he had reignited his relationship with Electra they were far less than pleased. Harry had a soft spot after seeing his deepest insecurities in the locket horcrux, he saw Ron's devotion for her and felt for him, but he still struggled to see how he managed to forgive her. Hermione gave him the silent treatment for a while, Ron desperately trying to get her to understand Electra the way he did. The two of them softened when he informed them of the state she lived in these past six months and he knew they'd soften even further if they knew her true blood status, particularly Hermione, however it was not his place to tell his friends her life story.
The reunion was interrupted by the sound of the doors slamming open, laughter erupted and the sound of voices joking with each other. Everyone's heads turned around to see Elecra and Draco stumbling in, gripping onto each other whilst in fits of laughter. She looks up and locks eyes with Ron, an even bigger smile emerging on her face. She ran up to him pulling him into a deep kiss in front of everyone.
"Ew." Seamus muttered next to them as they deepened the kiss even more, wrapping their arms around each other.
"You taste like weed," Ron said as he pulled away from her lips. She chuckled even more and twirled his hair around her finger, her arms resting on his shoulders.
"I missed you," she whispered so only he could hear her, intimate words shared between just the two of them.
"I missed you too, Mrs Weasley," he smirked, she pulled him straight back in for another kiss, this one even more frantic and passionate than before. He still meant it, he still wanted to marry her.
"Alright, cut it out you two," Harry grimaced, "What is he doing here?" he gestured to Draco who was left standing in the middle of the room alone.
"Oh don't worry Harry, he's fine. This room doesn't appear to people who support the Carrow's and their teachings," Neville reassured him, but Harry shook his head.
