Arranged Marriage

042- Fire And Flames

After spending so little time with my friends I had forgotten how much I missed them. I missed going to classes with them and hanging around with them and especially telling Pansy and Millie all the gossip. But ever since me and Draco left, they know what's happened and i'm not sure if that's going to affect my friendships. I really hope it doesn't.

I just need to find Draco now, I need to see him. We spent all our time together and now I haven't seen him in weeks. I miss him and i'm still confused as to how i'm even dating him. I mean, we were moral enemies since the first day we ever met when we were younger, so i'm not sure what's changed. During the time we were together in the Manor my feelings for him had grown and it was very difficult not being able to be with him when I escaped from the Manor. To be honest, me and Draco have always been together but i've just never noticed it. I was at his home a lot before the first year of Hogwarts even started as our family's are good friends with eachother. We were also apart of the same friend group which meant we would see eachother more. I did hate seeing him all the time but i'm not sure if that's just because I was dating Mattheo.

I haven't had time to properly think about what had happened between me and Draco as of everything that has been happening. I needed to find Draco and I knew he would be in his dorm as it's the only place he can hide in.

I walked through the halls, not really caring if anyone saw me as a battle was about to happen one way or another, and I soon made it to the Slytherin common room. I walked up the stairs to where the boys rooms were and I stood infront of Dracos dorm. I don't know why but I was scared to knock. What if he wasn't in there? What if something bad has happened to him?

I didn't bother knocking as I didn't want to wait for a response so I opened his door and walked in. When I walked in I saw Draco with his head in his hands but he quickly lifted his head up as he heard me walk in. He had bags under his eyes and his hair was a mess.

"Oh my god." He gasped once he saw me and quickly stood up. He walked towards me and brought me into a huge hug. "I can't believe you're here." He said, sounding as if he was about to cry.

"I had a little help from Harry, Ron and Hermione. I know you don't like them but they saved me." I said as I pulled out of the hug. He nodded his head in response to what I said. He despised Harry but, at the moment, I didn't think he cared about him.

"I can't believe i'm going to say this, but, I actually missed you." Draco then said trying to lighten the mood with his awful humour.

"I didn't miss you one bit." I said back and crossed my arms.

"Oh, so you didn't miss this." He said with a smirk as he started walking towards me. He made me so nervous. As he got as close as he could to me he put his hands on my waist and my hands moved to the sides of his neck. He then pressed his lips into mine and kissed me.

He was right, I did miss this. My hands moved from his neck to the sides of his face as we kissed. a lot.

After some time, we pulled out of the kiss and hugged again. God, this didn't feel real.

"I'm sorry for running away, I had to" I told him.

"Don't be sorry, you could have been killed!" He put his hands on my arms and reassured me.

"How have you been? Have your parents given you a hard time?" I asked him. I really hoped that Draco wasn't given grief because I ran away.

"I told my parents that I tried to stop you but you hexed me. They believed me but told me that I had to bring you to the dark lord if I found you, even though they know we are dating." He told me.

"They want you to hand me over?" I asked him in shock.

"Yes, but I won't. I wouldn't do that to someone who I-" He said but then paused before finishing his sentence. "I wouldn't do that to someone who I like." He sighed as he finished his sentence.

Me and Draco haven't said the L word yet, mainly because the whole time we've been dating we've both been very stressed. My feelings for him have definitely grew over the past few weeks but I'm not sure how he feels about me. I know he likes to keep his feelings to himself but he does make me curious on what goes on in his head.

"We should go find Blaise and Goyle." Draco randomly said.

"Why?" I asked him. He's not seen me in ages and now he wants to go find other people.

"We just need to go find them." He told me. I nodded my head and he grabbed my arm and we apparated to the halls. I didn't know what we were doing but i turned around and i saw Goyle and Blaise. Draco grabbed them and took them into a room as I followed. Draco led us all to the room of requirements but I didn't I know why.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"I need something." Draco dryly replied. He suddenly took out a wand and Blaise and Goyle did the same. The three of them stopped walking as we were suddenly standing infront of Harry Potter. Where the hell did he come from?

"Well, well. What brings you here, Potter?" Draco asks him in spite.

"I could ask you the same." Harry said back, he looked distracted by something.

"You have something of mine, i'd like it back." Draco told him, referring to his wand.

"What's wrong with the one you have?" Harry asked him, pointing at it.

"It's my mothers. It's powerful but it's not the same. Doesn't quite understand me. You know what I mean?" Draco told him with a smirk.

"Why didn't you tell her? Bellatrix" Harry asked him. Draco's face dropped and Blaise and Goyle gave eachother a look. "You knew it was me. You didn't say anything." Harry continued as Draco started to almost look as if he was embarrassed.

"Do it, don't be a prat." Goyle said to Draco. Suddenly Hermione and Ron came out of no where and started casting spells towards us so we made a run for it.

"What were you going to do?" I asked Draco. Goyle gave him a look.

"Come on, let's get out of here." Draco said to me, completely ignoring my question. We started trying to find the way out but I heard someone scream. I'm not sure who it was but it sounded like Ron.

"What was that?" Blaise asked us.

"Probably nothing." Draco said. We all turned around as we heard Goyle gasp. Suddenly, we were surrounded by flames of fire.

"How did this happen? What are we going to do?" I asked them as I started to panic.

"We need to climb!" Draco said pointing at the large tower of stacked furniture. We all agreed to climb and we started climbing up it. We all clung onto some of the furniture and watched Goyle climb as he was the last one. He grabbed onto a chair which was loose and he fell into the fire. I froze. We were all in shock. Goyle was dead. We all climbed higher until we reached the top.

Suddenly, Harry, Ron and Hermione all came flying above us with brooms. Harry stretched out his arm for Draco to grab, Ron done the same for Blaise and Hermione done the same for me. We all climbed onto their brooms and escaped the room without letting the fire get out.

As soon as we hit the ground in the hallway Draco stood up, grabbed my hand and took me away from the situation. I didn't even get to thank them for saving us.

"We could've at least said thanks." I said to
him.

"I'm not stooping that low." He joked but I didn't laugh. We almost died. This is just the beginning.
