Who Are You? (Draco Malfoy)

Chapter 23: Family and Enemies

Draco's kiss caught me off guard, but I broke away for a moment to look up at him incredulously. "D-Draco, you-" I'm cut off by him kissing me again, this time harder.

"Be quiet Elena." He murmurs against my lips and I feel my heart pounding in my chest as he kisses me passionately, one of his hands grabbing mine and intertwining our fingers together by my head, his body coming closer to mine and I let out a small gasp when his other hand trails down to my waist. 

Tingles shot up my spine as his fingers softly trailed across the bottom of my back, making me inhale sharply as he kissed me. He has never kissed me with such an intensity before, and I was completely at his mercy, for my body felt helpless and immobile to his touch.

My eyes slipped closed as I let my feelings take over, the hand on my back making me feel like I was on fire from the intensity of the touch. I clenched my hand tightly, keeping Draco's hand in mine tightly as I felt his tongue slip into my mouth, the feeling so weird that all I could do was keep myself upright while he began doing this new method of kissing with me.

The inexperience I had was clear as day as I had no idea what to do and to be honest I felt a little dumb for not knowing what was going on. I went along with Draco's movements, trying to keep up with his pace, but I could tell he was doing most of the work and the intensity coming from him made me not want to do anything at all.

He pulled back for a moment and both of us took in a deep breath before he went back in, kissing me just as hard as before and I gasped at how intense he was. Both of his hands moved to my waist as he held me tight, keeping me still as I stood numb at his mercy, not sure what was going on but I didn't really mind at the same time.

The kiss lasted a long time, and when Draco finally pulled away and stayed away, I feel completely weak at the knees. If he hadn't held on to me, I probably would've fallen at his feet.

Both of us stood in silence, heavy breathing the only noise heard throughout the Room of Requirement. He let go of my waist, and I was thankful my strength returned so I could stand on my own. Draco's hands went to cup both sides of my face, bringing his close to mine and his eyes stared directly into my own.

"Do you understand now?" he asks and I blink a few times, remembering why this was brought on in the first place. A small smile comes to my face and I nod to him, not trusting my voice to work properly.

"Elena you're the only one that I've ever felt so connected to. You're beyond family, you're my life. I'll always love my family, but I'll always love you too. And the love I hold for you is different than the one I have for them." he says and my heart tightens with happiness and surprise, heat rising to my cheeks at his compliment and confession.

"I love you too. I always will." I whisper and a small smile comes to his face. "Good." he murmurs, leaning in and planting a sweet kiss on my forehead before pulling away, letting his hands fall to his sides.

"So I don't want to hear anymore about me choosing sides. If everything goes to hell, I'll be sure to find a way to help both, not just one." he says and I smile at him happily.

"Then do me a favor?" I ask and he raises an eyebrow at me, his mouth turning down in a small frown. It was as if he knew what I was about to ask.

"If you need to talk to someone about what's happening, don't keep it to yourself. Come to me and we can talk it out. You're not alone in this, Draco. I'm here for you." I say and he lets out a sigh, shaking his head.

"Why did I know you would ask that?" he muses before looking at me with a smirk. "I won't keep it to myself. But you can't keep this prophecy business to yourself either. I know you're freaking out about it." he says and I pout.
