Trying to Survive True Love

The tricking

We got to the castle, and Draco walked me to the common room. "Bye Grace." He said giving me a warm hug.

I smiled. "Bye Draco." I said letting him go.

"Aww that's so sweet!" The fat lady said.

"Shh!" I said laughing. Draco just smirked.

The portrait soon opened to reveal Harry. "Hey Harry!" I said happily. I turned to see if Draco was still there but sadly he wasn't.

"What are you looking for?" Harry asked looking around me.

"Oh, nothing." I said smiling.

"Well let's go." He said pulling out his cloak. He smiled and threw it over both of us.  

We slowly walked to the Room of Requirements. We didn't make a sound. It was hard! I wanted to tell someone what I found out! But I thought about it and decided that no one could know. Draco trusted me. I cared about him.  

We made it into the room. Ron and Hermione were sitting on the couch. The room resembled the Gryffindor common room. I sat next to the fire place slowly warming up my hands. "Okay so what is this meeting about?" I asked blowing into my hands a little bit.

"It's about Draco." I stopped in my place.

"What about him..." I asked slowly standing up.

"He cursed that poor girl earlier today!" Harry exclaimed. "He's a death eater." He whispered.

"How can you say that Harry?" I asked. I said offended; I tried to at least. I knew that he was a death eater, but he couldn't have cursed that girl.

I left the room unhappy about that they concluded to. I needed to see Draco. I need to know if he really did curse that girl.  So I began my journey to the Slytherin Common Room. Draco had to be awake.  

I stopped when I heard yelling. I looked down a small corridor to see Draco yelling at Snape. "I can't take this anymore!" Draco yelled.

"You have to. The Dark Lord counts on this!" He yelled grabbing his shoulders.

I gasped. I didn't mean to. They heard that. I tried to hide.

"Homenum revelio!" Snape shouted.

I felt something yank my hair. I screamed. I fell to the ground as I was pulled toward them. "Gracie!" I heard Draco yell. A tear slid down my cheek, as the dragging continued.

"McClurrey, you are out after hours." Snape said. I looked up at him as I slammed into his shoe. "I'll have to teach you a lesson about spying on others!" he said raising his wind.

"Snape no!" Draco yelled grabbing Snape's wand.

"Run Gracie!" Draco yelled restraining Snape. I jumped up and ran. 

I ran for almost an hour. I ended up near Hagrid's hut. I hid behind it trying to catch my breath. I felt a hand grip around my waist. I was about to scream but was stopped by a warm hand. I spun around and was face to face with Draco. He let go of my mouth.

"Oh Draco!" I whispered. I threw my arms around him.

"Gracie, are you okay?" he whispered in my ear.

"Yea I am." I said giggling. I felt another tear roll down my cheek. He pulled away and looked at me. "Hey, don't cry." He said wiping my tear away. I smiled.

"Thanks for saving me." I said biting my lip. He smiled.

"I didn't want him to hurt you." He said getting closer to me. I hadn't realized until now that I still had my arms wrapped around his neck, and his arms were still around my waist. I looked down.  

I felt a gentle finger push my chin back up. I looked at him for only a second. His soft lips came to mine. I closed my eyes and tightened my grip around his neck. He pulled me closer . He loosened up after a minute, and pulled away. I looked at him. A smile was plastered across his face. "I've been waiting for this for a very long time." He said leaning in. I leaned in too.

"Draco!" We both stopped and looked. There stood the group of death eaters. "Who's your friend?" the crazy looking girl asked.

"She's my girlfriend." He said pulling me close to him.

"We can't have extra baggage Draco." She replied back.

"She's not! I'll just get rid of her." He said grabbing my arm.

"Draco, what are you doing?" I asked trying to pull away.

"Just go with it." He whispered low enough for me to hear it.

"You have some promise. I will tell Dark Lord about this." She said directing the group of men toward the castle.

Draco pulled me behind a rock. "You can transfigure can't you?" he asked me.

"Yes, a white cat. Why?" I asked standing in front of him.

"I'm going to pretend to hit you with a curse. You'll transfigure in the woods." He said grabbing my wrist. I looked up at him. He leaned in and kissed me passionately. "You will be safe like this. I will take care of you." He said smiling. I nodded. I stood back. I acted scared just in case we had watchers.

"Please Draco, no." I said with a small tear roll down my eyes.

"Avada Kedavra!" he exclaimed missing me by an inch. I fell with a thud. He picked me up and took me to the woods.

"Okay now." He whispered. I then became a white fluffy cat. He smiled at me. "You are even beautiful in cat form." He said stroking my fur. I licked his hand.
