The Malfoy Affair

The Great Escape

Renn's Pov

Freedom is something that a lot of people take for granted. The freedom of choice, the freedom of bodily autonomy and most importantly the freedom of not remaining trapped under an insane dictator.

Whether it be the Dark Lord or Lucius I was constantly trapped under the thumb of a controlling wizard.

I had absolutely no idea why Lucius was running away with me. He said it was for mine and little lights protection but nothing is making sense to me at all, surely the Dark Lord would have his cronies find us sooner or later.

I had an uneasy feeling that we were putting Draco in harms way which was making my stomach turn as I continued getting my things together for our great escape.

A part of me knew that Lucius would not willingly put his son/only heir in danger but Voldemort was not reasonable. I wish he would've told me what was going on but once again I'm constantly left in the dark. My only hope being that once we got to where we needed to he would explain what his and Snape's discoveries had been.

My new challenge was conjuring warm clothes. Considering we were in the middle of summer I didn't have anything to protect me from cold. I assumed wherever it was we were going was definitely going to be out of England given the heat here.

This is the last thing I wanted to deal with. I fucking hate the outdoors and this pregnancy was already making me so sick, going on the run with Lucius sodding Malfoy was going to be my own personal version of hell.

I know he's concerned about our safety apparently but how was having a million people after us and dealing with the elements going to be any safer than just staying at the manor.

A knock at my door snapped me out of my racing thoughts.

I conjured a concealment charm over my backpack that had an undetectable extension charm in it so I could pack anything I had and would need.

I padded over to my door and cracked it open slightly to peak and see who was there while having a tight grip on my wand just in case it was unwelcome company.

The person wasn't unwelcome or a danger but also wasn't someone I wanted to see at the moment.

Draco stood there in all his glory. Perfectly tailored robes hugged his slim but firm figure. His grey eyes were cast towards my blue ones and I noticed them frantically looking over my face and body.

He looked nervous.

"Draco what are you...' before I had a chance to finish my sentence he barged through my door pushing me forward into my room. As he muttered a charm to silence the room and lock the door.

"I'm sorry Renn but I had to see you to make sure you were alright. I wasn't sure what happened the other night when my father kicked me out of here after he found us in a...compromising position."

My heart sank at his words. Of course my sweet boy just wanted to check on my well being. I didn't deserve him at all.

"I'm fine Draco, it's probably a good thing he interfered. We were about to cross a line that couldn't be uncrossed." I said nervously not wanting to have this conversation at all.
