i sat in the windowsill of my dorm, watching as the rain came pouring down on the green grass of Hogwarts. i hugged my knees to my chest and my head was resting on my kneecaps. flashbacks of last night and its happening were becoming a normal thing. sometimes something i did would trigger one, or if someone said something in particular it would bring the memory of it back. it was painful to think about.
as i sat in my windowsill i turned my left arm over and inspected the cut. it wasn't an actual Dark Mark but the carving was in the shape of one. Madam Pomfrey had done absolutely everything to try and heal it but nothing had worked. nothing. my heart drops at the thought that it might be permanent. that it may stay on my arm forever.
my thoughts are broken by the squeaking of my dorm room door opening.
"ready?" Draco asks as he walks in
i turn my arm over and brush a few strands of hair away from my face
"yeah" i whisper getting up from the windowsill and picking up my trunk
Draco looks as if he was going to say something but then brushes it off.
suddenly a loud popping noise sounds out in the dorm room and Dobby, one of the Hogwarts elves, appears.
"Miss Vanessa, Dumbledore sent Dobby to gather your things." Dobby said
i nod and Dobby walks over and apparates with my trunk.
i walk over to Draco and engulf him in a hug. he smelled of cologne and peppermint. i didn't cry. i was over crying. i didn't want to cry. he placed his arm to my lower back and gently pushed me closer to him. i nuzzled my face into his neck and he kissed my forehead.
we stood there for a good ten minutes before Draco broke the silence
"we should probably head to the train"
"yeah, we should" i say my voice cracking
i opened my dorm door and led Draco out of the Slytherin house.
as we walked through the halls people stared at us. at me more in particular. we tried to contain the happenings of last night from everyone, but news travels fast. especially when Harry Potter knows what actually happened.
"i don't know if i can take this any longer" i whisper to Draco "they're all staring at me like I'm some kind of freak." i say
"come here" he says
Draco opens his jacket and i snuggle into him covering my face from the public eye as we continued to walk through the halls our last time as fourth years.
we eventually made it to the train, through all the stares and glares that we got.
Draco let go of me and grabbed my arm helping me up the stairs of the train, but before i could board completely i felt someone else take my other arm and pull be backwards
i jumped furiously and hugged back into Draco
"Vanessa, its just me" Hermione said
"I'm sorry I'm just very....timid." i say
"i know" she smiles
"i just wanted to come say goodbye and that i hope you have a great summer." she says
"thanks" i whisper
she engulfs me into a hug and i hug back
"well, i'll see you in a couple of months" she says
i smile at her and board onto the train
Draco holds my hand the whole way as we get even more glares from the people around us.
Draco pulls me into an empty compartment and shuts the blinds, locks the door, and puts a silence charm on the compartment.
"come here" he said simply
he sat down and i sat down in his lap snuggling into him
"Draco, what do i do?" i ask
"what do you mean?" he asks
"what do i do? do i keep living my life like nothing happened or....what?" i ask
"you keep living your life like nothing happened." he answers
"how?" i ask
"you put that beautiful smile back on your face, and forget about this" he points to the carving
i smile "i'll try"
"there's that smile!" he says
i giggle and snuggle back into him and close my eyes
i felt myself falling asleep in the arms of the love of my life.
"Vanessa" i hear Draco whisper as he shakes me lightly "we're here" he says
i lift my head up and rub my eyes
"hey baby" he says
"hi" i whisper as he kisses me lightly
i get up off his lap and exit the compartment. Draco places a hand protectively on the small of my back.
we climb off the train and i sadly turn to Draco
"i guess this it" i say getting teary eyed
"hey, hey, hey. don't cry" Draco says holding my face "i will write you and we can visit in Diagon Alley." he smiles
i smile back "that sounds fun" i whisper
"and if at anytime that woman tries to lay a finger on you you write me immidietly! i mean it." he says
"i will, i promise" i say
he nods and basically attacks me with his lips. our lips form perfectly and move in union. it was like we were the only two on the platform
"Vanessa" my mother says breaking the moment
i turn around "mother" i say emotionless
Draco wraps his arms around me from the back and kisses my neck lightly
"i'll see you in three months babe, i love you." he says
i smile
"i love you too"
he kisses my neck again lightly before releasing me, sending my mother a deathly glare, and goes to find his parents.
"we shall go." my mother says
i grab onto her arm and the familiar sensation takes over my body. we land in my kitchen and my mother walks away without saying a word to me. i hear her bedroom door being slammed and i trudge up the flight of stairs.
