The Beautifully Tragic Life of Kassandra Snape

chapter 40- Draco

Draco Malfoy POV:

I finally figured what Potter was up to. Umbridge was so happy when I bought her the Ravenclaw girl. She was the key to unlocking the whole secret organisation. My father told me he was pleased by my work. And that gave me a certain level of contentment, that was until they were exposed and I had nothing else to distract myself from her.

I'm a fucking idiot. I hurt her and I can't forgive myself for it. I miss her so much and Arabelle, but I have no one but myself to blame. I was so close, so close to making her mine and I go and fuck it all up. I still can't shake her expression of dissapointment as she left me that morning from my mind.

I wish that I could make it up to her, I just don't know how. Even if we did make up how can I look at her and tell her I'm still not convinced by the Dark Lords return.

Maybe it was always suppose to end like this, maybe we are never meant to be but I can't think that, I cannot see a world where I'm not with her. It would be no life.

I barely take notice of anyone in the common room or my surroundings as I storm to the dorms after another uneventful day has ended.

My world spins as I open the door of my dorm and there she is. I quickly shut my eyes, convinced that im dreaming. When i reopen my eyes, she is still sat on my bed playing with her daughter. She came back? She's really here?

"Dray! Dray!" The child exclaims at seeing me and I am quick to close the distance between us and scoop Arabelle up into a hug.

"I missed you, little one." I coo at her. Kass moves to the edge of the bed looking to the floor.

"I'm sorry for just coming here out of the blue, she just missed you so much Draco, we both do." She says softly, eyes staring deep into mine.

"You have every right to hate me Kass, I cannot express how sorry I am to have hurt you. Please, believe me Kass, from the bottom of my heart I'm so sorry." I tell her honestly.

She smiles up at me "I forgave a long time ago Draco, but there's still the root issue. You do not believe that he's back, or your refusing to do so."

I want more than anything to tell her I believe her, but i can't. If he really is back, then we are inevitably more or less dead and I cannot face that. Its almost as if she can read my thoughts, from my expression alone as continues.

"But that's okay. All I know is that I cannot go another day that we walk past each other in the halls, I don't want to us to be strangers Draco." She tells me as she removes Arabelle from my hands, she stands on her tiptoes and plants a soft kiss of my lips, I'm left absolutely dumbstruck at her ability to forgive me so easily. This girl never fails to amaze me.

"Arabelle is due her nap. You coming?" She turns a hopeful smile upon her face.
It wasn't a question though, of course I would go with her. I'd follow this girl through the gates of hell if she wished it. I was in deep.
