When my mate was taken (drarry)

Seventeen

Kovus POV

I snuggle up in the bed with Draco. My head rests on his chest, his arms are wrapped around me and our bodies are pressed together.

That night I dream of when we met. Or when he met Harry.

When I saw the blonde boy I had a strange sense I had met him before, but I shook it off. That's when I realised he was the boy from Madam Malkin's. But still...

I looked him up and down. He was quite good-looking. Alright, very good-looking. Although I would never admit it.

He told me and Ron that his name was Draco Malfoy. I had never heard of the name Malfoy before, but Ron had. He convinced me that they were evil- on Voldemort's side.

I can't believe I didn't recognise him. Of course the memory charm made it harder, but he was still my mate. I sigh. And I turned down his handshake. I don't belive it. He told me he could help me, and he could. The Weasleys were bad- are bad. Maybe if I had taken his hand we could have become friends. He could've helped me realise who I was, am, and we could've been together by the end of first year. Of course it would've still been too long.

How did Draco survive? I know I wouldn't have been able to if it had been the other way around. I remember how distraught he was, and it makes me feel sick. How did I not comfort him? Tell him that I was here, that it was me? Because I didn't know.

I pull closer to him. Even sleeping he's gorgeous. I brush a strand of hair away that had fallen in his eyes. His hair looks much better natural.

I must have fallen asleep, because I wake up the next morning by someone shaking me.

"Leave me alone," I mumble.

"Kovus, wake up!"

"But I'm tired!"

"Ko, Remus and Sirius are here!" I throw off the covers and bound out of bed.

"They're here?"

"That's what I said. Now get changed!" Draco goes into the bathroom, probably to do his hair, and I quickly throw my clothes on, running downstairs.

"Kovus!" Sirius yells, embracing me in a bone crushing hug.

"Can't... Breathe..." I choke out. He releases me.

"Sorry." Remus takes his place, wrapping his arms around me gently.

"Hey cub," he says, ruffling my hair.

"Hi Remus." I can't stop smiling. "How've you been?"

"Alright. You?"

"Great. The plan's working."

"That's good, Ko. I was talking to Dumbleduck last week and he seems really worried."

"And um Ron and Hermione?" Sirius gulped.

"Well pretty much the same, but they're not exactly worried about you more about how they might get defeated."

"Oh." I don't know what I was expecting. I know this. I know that they don't care. But somehow having it told to me...

"You okay cub?"

"Yeah I'm fine. I'm going to go upstairs and read or something." I climb up the stairs and go into the room I share with Draco. Soon after there's a knock on the door and it eases open.

"Kovus, love, can I come in?"

"Of course." My voice sounds weaker than I want it to. Draco comes in and sits next to me so our hips are touching.

"Baby, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Love."

"Please don't lie to me."

"Alright. I'm not. I should be, because it's totally stupid and I shouldn't care what those jerks give a shit about, but I do. They were my friends."

"I know, Love, I know." He pulls me closer and I rest my head on his chest. No one speaks for a while so we sit in comfortable silence.

"I love you Dray."

"I love you too Ko."
