Stone cold

Chapter 7

Rosie was sat eating breakfast with Natalie when Agnes burst through the doors wearing her quiditch outfit with a huge smile on her face Agnes was a chaser for the Ravenclaw team and today was our first match against the Hufflepuffs and she was buzzing with excitement. Rosie and Natalie laughed as their friend skipped down the hall and happily joined them at the table. Natalie and Rosie loved quiditch and Natalie even played for a while until she got hurt and decided it wasn't for her.

Rosie sat in the stands with Natalie as they watched the match. It was all going well despite the damp weather until a little Hufflepuff fell to the ground after Oscar (our beater) accidentally nocked her off her broom but other than a few scratches she was okay.

After the match Rosie was drenched with rain and before she could make it inside a strong hand pulled her underneath the stands "Draco?" She giggled, confused "what are you-". Draco cut her off by pressing his lips to hers. Once they broke away it took her a while to realise that Draco had tears in his eyes "Draco what's wrong?" She asked holding her hand to his face. "Nothing it's nothing really."
"Draco tell me!" She said with a slightly harsher tone "please tell me."
"I have told you it's nothing!" He said a bit louder "I just want you to know that I really care about you and I want you to stay safe." Although he didn't realise it a tear was making its way down his perfectly structured face falling on his shoulder. Rosie wiped the tear track away and he held her hand there. "Draco what's happening?" Rosie asked. "I don't know Rosie? I just don't know" he said truthfully leaving out some details that he couldn't bring himself to say out loud not only to her but to himself as well. Rosie decided to stop asking questions then he was clearly upset so she just held him. they stayed there for a while until Draco stood and said "Maybe we should head back. Its getting dark we'll miss dinner". "Okay, if you're sure your fine lets go" she said still not completely reassured that he was fine.

A few weeks passed and Draco hadn't mentioned anything about her safety again at least not until today.

It was just after lunch on Saturday the 15th of December and Draco had asked Rosie to meet him in their spot which was under a willow tree by the lake.

They were sat together Rosie's head on his shoulder both covered by Draco's coat they looked out over the frozen lake in silence until Draco spoke up "Rosie?"
"Yeah"
"I...um need to tell you something" he choked out
"What is it?" Rosie said with a frown
"Something bad is going to happen and if it does I need to know that you'll be safe."
"Draco. What is it what is so bad that you can't tell me! Please I need to know now!" Rosie said tears building up in her eyes.
"Its the dark lord Rosie .Potter was right he's back!" Draco's usually cold eyes seemed warmer as he spoke.
"But, he can't be I mean that's not true Harry was seeing things surely-"
"No Rosie he's back he's planning you have to understand that!" He nearly yelled
"Planning. Planning what Draco!"
Draco didn't answer but instead looked at the floor.
"Draco tell me!" She demanded
"I don't know entirely but I think it's got something to do with Hogwarts." He said purposely leaving out details in order not to scare her.

It was at this moment that Draco realised he had never cared about anyone as much as he cared about Rosie. He would do anything and everything he could to save her and keep her with him. It was at this moment he realised he was in love. He looked at Rosie and examined every feature of her beautiful face as a small tear fell from her left big round brown eye onto her smooth cheek which were pink from the cold.

He wiped the tear away and she held his hand there. "Draco I'm scared" she whispered. He pulled her against his chest and held her there "I know so am I but we're going to be ok. I know we are. We have to be ... because I love you" Draco said and never has he spoke truer words in his life.

Rosie looked up at the beautiful man in front of her and ran one hand through his platinum hair "I love you too." She chocked "I love you so much Draco Malfoy." In response Draco pulled her to him and kissed her. Hard.

The next thing Rosie knew she was lifted off the ground with Draco's hands on her thighs just before her knees he spun her around. She laughed and gripped his muscular shoulders with her small hands protected from the cold by blue mittens and Draco's ring still on her middle finger.

In that moment they forgot the previous conversation everything bad said was forgotten and in that moment they were truly happy.
