Nobody Told Me I Was Alone

Ophelia Black LeStrange

I came inside the house the smell of Alex still lingering in the air as, I took it all in .
Pictures of him, and I covering the walls , along with pictures of the others as well.

Happiness overflowing from the pictures, causing me to feel more pain than I thought I could in this moment.
The pictures only making it more real that he was gone and not coming back.
That I had to bury my first love.

We had planned our future together like we were in charge of it.
We were clueless , and stuck in the moment.
But I loved him, I would've loved him till we were old and grey..

Now I had to find the love I gave him for myself, to help me heal from this and move on with my life.

We all decided to live here, while we finished school the new headmaster allowed it , She said that it was time for us to decide what we wanted to do now that we had a choice.

" Ophelia!"
Draco shouted from down the stairs

I grabbed a black shirt from Alexanders drawer tossing it to the bed, and a pair of leggings from my suitcase.

" I'm coming can you please come help me get out of this dress I can't reach the zipper." I hollered back down the stairway.

I pulled the black veil out from where it was clipped into my hair and placed it neatly on the dresser.

Draco's footsteps beating against the floor, as he made his way upstairs to the room .

" Okay, turn around" he ordered , I did as told

His cold hands gracing my skin, as he gripped the zipper between his thumb and pointer finger gliding it down my spine.

The dress slipped from my shoulders , down my arms falling to the floor. I sucked in a soft breath and reached over grabbing the black Tshirt sliding it on .

And then bending over to grab the leggings, my ass gracing the front of Draco's suit as I stood up slowly sliding from my heels and then one foot at the time into the leggings.

Draco sat back quietly observing me, as I got dressed his eyes tracing over each part of my body and skin.

" You are beautiful. I hope you know this."
His voice slipping from his lips like velvet

" Thank you, I needed that." I turned around looking at him with a subtle smile

His hand reached up , creasing my cheek softly with his thumb

" You're welcome."

I breathed in a deeply , his scent filling my lungs as I stepped forward
Pulling Draco into my arms , embracing him.

He wrapped his arms around me keeping our bodies pressed tightly together, resting his head on top of mine.

His heart beating roughly against his chest

" I love you, Ophelia."

"And , I love you My Draco"

He placed a soft kiss on my head and then pulled my face up to look at him. His fingers on my chin, as he held my gaze with his before leaning down placing a soft kiss on my lips and then pulling away.

" Forgive me, but I couldn't resist the urge much longer.. "

The shock across my face as I nodded , unable to form coherent words.

" It's ... Okay. "
I said smiling softly at him.

" Let's go and meet with the others , before they start to miss us." Draco said softly.

I pulled away, slipping my flipflops on.
Then stepping past Draco out the bedroom door and down the stairs he followed closely behind me.

Together we exited the front door he made sure to close it all the way behind us , I lifted my hand out for him to grab and he took it. Together we walked to the pub where are friends were.

Draco opened the door for me letting me walk in before him, a gentle smile across his lips as I walked passed him.

We looked around and finally landing on the others sitting in the corner . I took Draco's hand again dragging him along with me to the table we sat beside each other, Sicily on my other side and Jude on his.

Greasy food and muggle liquor , sat around the table we each taking bites from everything around us. The wings, fries, burgers and chicken legs filling our stomachs, I opted out of drinking..

I held a secret, one I hadn't shared because I still couldn't believe it to be true .

I was pregnant, I wasn't sure how far along.. the thought of raising a baby alone without their father terrified me.

And also with burying Alexander, and Arden I didn't feel like it would be right to bring it up.

I kept quiet listening to the others talk , laugh and let tears fall freely. The air filled with the smell of liquor their eyes red and glossy.
The moments I shared with them made it easier and even though my heart was broken I had hoped that it would one day be whole again ..

Also they deserved this freedom, for we all suffered from the war.

We all stayed till the bar keep came to tell us they were closing soon, the clock above r the fireplace read 3am.

The sky was beautiful and the air crisp.
We made our way back home, our arms interlocked with each other's..

" Guys , Ive got something to tell you "

They stopped and their eyes all  settled on me

" I'm pregnant."

Sicily smiled happily, Jude as well pulling me into a giant hug.

Draco looked at me nervously

And Evan smiled

" Congratulations Ophelia.." Jude said softly.

" I'm so happy for you " Sicily said slurring her words

Draco stood silently , pale as a ghost.

We made our way back home after standing there for a while .
