Moving Forward (Drastoria Fanfic)

Chapter Two

Astoria's POV: Draco's 6th year/Sectumsempra

I finish adjusting my uniform and pull on my Slytherin robes before I sit down on my bed to pull on my shoes. I pull my book bag over my shoulder and push my hair back turning to leave the empty dorm room. I head to the common room and scan the room to find any of my friends but more importantly my boyfriend. I spot his white blonde hair nearly hidden in a leather winged back chair off to the corner facing his friend, Blaise Zabini and I notice that they are playing a game of Wizard's chess. I make my way to them and slide my arms around Draco's shoulders from his side pressing a kiss to his cheek as I sit on the arm of his chair.

"Hi, handsome." I whisper in his ear and grin when the tension in his body relaxes turning his head to kiss my cheek. I smile and look at the chessboard noticing that the two of them are fairly close to winning on either side but I can see a move. "Knight to E5."

I smirk watching as Draco's green knight walks over to the silver knight of Blaise's and stabs him with his tiny sword leaving his king unprotected, thus letting Draco win.

"Bloody hell, mate I hate your girlfriend." Blaise says and sits back in his seat with a sigh looking up at me with a smirk. "Greengrass."

"Zabini." I say with my own smirk and Draco places his hand around my waist squeezing my gently.

"She helped me beat you so, I love her." He says and grins up at me resting his other arm on the armrest lazily.

"Oh so that's how I earn your love, huh?" I ask teasingly and drop my book bag to the floor turning more into him.

"There are other ways." He says and sits up to kiss me softly cupping my cheek.

"Alright I'm out of here if you two are just going to snog." Blaise says and stands quickly from his chair walking away from us.

"Perfect." I grin and start to get up motioning to the chessboard. "Want to play?"

"I'd rather have you in my arms." Draco says grabbing my waist to pull me across his lap hugging me close to him. "What have you been up to, love?"

"Studying for my OWL's." I answer and laugh when he tugs me into his lap sighing.

"You're studying too hard and they aren't for another couple months." He says wrapping one of his arms around my waist the other rests across my lap and his hand lands on my hip. "They aren't that hard."

"Says the boy that took his already." I say with a sigh and lean into him when he rubs my back drawing me closer to him.

"I thought I was your man." He says in his playful tone that I hardly ever hear anymore and I feel his hand on my hip tighten making me bite my lip.

"Mm but lately my man hasn't been around." I say with a pout and stroke his hair back a bit shivering when his hand trails up my side to tuck a bit of my hair behind my ear.

"I'll make it up you soon, darling I promise."

"I know you will." I say and press a kiss to the inside of his left wrist knowing that just below the cuff of his sleeve is his Dark Mark. "Has it been hurting lately?"

"I know I've told you not to worry about me." He says stroking my cheek with his thumb and I can see the sadness, anxiousness and overall weariness in his blue grey eyes.

"I know I've told you that it is my job to worry about you, my love." I say and his thumb moves to wipe away my sudden tears that I didn't realize had appeared looking me in the eyes.

"And that is why I love you so much." Draco says and leans his forehead on mine holding me close to him.

I smile softly and lean forward to kiss his cheek but he turns his head to capture my lips in a heated kiss drawing me even closer to him. I tangle my fingers in his hair as we kiss glad that his chair is in a dark corner of the common room and that most of our Slytherin house is at lunch. I sigh in content when I feel Draco's hand slide under my school robe to rest on my side just above my hip and we both deepen the kiss our bodies knowing each other so well after nearly two years together. I bite my lip as he trails his kisses down my jaw and stops just below my ear making me shiver. I gasp very softly when he nips my skin and I pull back slightly looking at him.
