Preparations

The words that spewed from Draco's mouth repeatedly played in her mind as she laid in bed crying. She never thought that distancing herself a little would cause him so much pain that it would turn him to do this.

She had to make this right. She couldn't go away for a long period of time and this is how things were. Sky wanted things to go back to how they were before everything. She wanted to go back to not having to hide things from everyone other than Mattheo.

–

"Mate, what was all that about?" Blaise asked Draco who refused to even get on a broom. That's when he knew Draco was hurting and angry.

Without looking up from the ground, "What's changed so much between us that she doesn't want to spend time with me or any of us? I don't think I've done anything wrong. I want to take her on a date, just us and how we used to be."

"Have you thought that maybe being back here after Pansy getting taken, her dad finding you in Alaska, that maybe this place doesn't have any good memories for her? Or that she has good memories here but the bad thoughts are taking over?"

Draco didn't respond to him

"Why not try to figure out why she's distancing herself instead of assuming she's cheating on you. You know she wouldn't cheat on you. And don't bring the infirmary shit up with Tom, because that was his doing. You can't just get angry at her. You have every right to your emotions, but Malfoy, you don't even know what's really going on with her emotions or thought process."

Draco sat in silence knowing that Blaise was right. He may have been the quiet one of the bunch, but when it came to telling Draco how it was, he would happily step up. He hated seeing either of them like this. Not because he was an overcaring person, but because dealing with the two psychos of their families is not the glass of butterbeer he wants to deal with.

"Blaise, how do I even fix this at this point? I probably just ruined my relationship not only by screaming at her with so much anger in my voice, but I know I embarrassed her by letting everyone in Slytherin and therefore all of Hogwarts know our business. She probably won't ever talk to me again."

Blaise nodded his head in agreement to the statements of embarrassing her. "Well mate, the only thing I can tell you is go try to fix it. You'll never know unless you try. I'm sure she's in bed crying or crying in Pansy's arms right now. Do what you used to do. Plan surprise dates for her and just tell her to be ready at a certain time. Go to her, Draco. You need it and so does she."

"Are you sure you're not some sort of muggle psychologist?"

"If I were then you and her would owe me over one million galleons," he paused for a few seconds, "each."

They both laughed. Draco put his hand on Blaise's shoulder as he stood up, "thanks, Zabini. I'm going to try to find a way to fix my fuck up."

"Good luck. You'll need it. Remember, after she throws a stinging spell, she usually uses crucio."

Draco made his way back to the Slytherin common room and to the dorms. When he went to open the dorm door, it wouldn't open. He tried a few spells, but nothing. "Sky, love, please let me in."

Adrian opened his dorm door, "hey mate, she told me to give you this. Sorry."

He opened the parchment,

Draco,

I'm sorry that you feel as if I'm pulling away, but to question my loyalty to you. That hurt. I would never cheat on you, and it hurts knowing that you would think I would, it's something that cuts deep.

I've warded the door with special wards so no one other than I can enter the dorm. I've placed a few things for you in Mattheo's dorm. I need some time apart from you. I guess I have to figure out how to make things right, but after tonight, it's just not good for us to be near each other.

-Sky

No love Sky or anything.

He couldn't believe this. She really warded the door so he couldn't enter. As he got to Mattheo's room, he saw he had already made the bed for Draco. "Here you go. I know it's not your fancy room, but it's better than the couch, right?"

"I can't believe she kicked me out of the dorm."

Mattheo chuckled, "Dude, you straight up screamed at her with every ounce of anger, hatred, and hurt you had running through you. Not only did you scream at her, but you scared her, and not to mention embarrass her in front of the whole house. She kicked Pansy out right after you left too. Said she didn't want to be near anyone for awhile. So you may have just made things worse. Last thing she said to Pansy was, 'I don't know how we can come back from this. IF we even can."

Draco fell to the bed, "Great. Fucking great! What the hell do I do now?"

"The only option you have, wait for her. Wait to see how she responds. I can tell she's really hurting and there's anger brewing in her. If she's anything like Pansy or worse than the best thing to do is wait. But if you plan on giving her a ring, you better fix it soon because you never know what'll happen"

"You're right! I'll be back. I'm telling Snape I'm going to be late tomorrow. I have shit I gotta do!" Draco exclaimed, running out of the dorm.

Little did he know, Mattheo just gave him one of the biggest warnings of his life. Something that will change everyone's lives, mainly his.

All Mattheo could do is guide Draco in the right direction, now and when the time comes. Mattheo has to talk to Sky at some point about Draco's future while she's gone, so they're on the same page

Mattheo didn't know a lot about Sky but from what he's observed and heard from Pansy, she may not be that great and it made him think of how she's doing.

He was worried she would do something stupid because of Draco screaming at her. He knew that Draco had the right to feel that way but he went too far with yelling at her, mainly around everyone.

She may be a hardass but she still is a person who loves Draco and that's why she's doing this. So they can have a life together; so that Mattheo and Pansy can too.

"Professor," Draco said, panting, out of breath from running from the dorms to Snape's office.

Snape looked up from his lesson plans, "Mister Malfoy, how can I help you?"

"Skyra and I will be late for class tomorrow. There's something I have to do. I have to fix this with us before it's too late."

Snape knew. He knew what was going to happen soon so he didn't protest. "Mister Malfoy, Miss Parkinson is very stressed, what you did in the common room made things worse. You need to sort it. She is a stubborn child and if anything, she needs you the most right now. You two may skip class tomorrow but I expect the work to be turned in on time."

"Yes sir. Thank you!" Draco shouted while running off to find a way to make this right.

Draco made his way through the castle. He remembered every counter spell to reverse Sky's wards. He knew that one day he would have to use them, just not like this.

He whispered them lowly so she had no idea he was getting in, but once he was in. There she was. Crying. Draco didn't waste any time, he ran to her, wrapping his arms around her, not giving her the option of fighting him off like she normally would. Her tears instantly soaked his shirt

"I'm so sorry baby girl. I didn't mean any of it. I know you would never cheat on me. I just miss you so fucking much. I feel like I'm losing you and it's scaring me. You are my absolute world and I don't want to lose you." He pleaded with her. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry princess. Please don't leave me."
