Dedicated to: MadissonMessham and AshleyClarke0

*EDITED*

- Draco's POV -

"So, I was thinking....maybe....if you don't have plans of course....you would like to go to Hogsmeade with me this Saturday?", I hold my hands up and smile hopefully

"Sounds too much like your scared and don't want to."

"Hey, there babe! How about you and me go to...Hogsmeade?", after wiggle my eyebrows I smirk. That should work.

"Eyebrows? Really? Did you just wiggle you eyebrows?"

"What? She loves it when I do that!"

"What are trying to do? Shag her or go on a date?"

"Yeah, your right...", my hands fall and so does my smile.

"I know I am!"

Suddenly, I get an idea and look up at my arrogant friend, "How about this!?", I wave my hands around in hearts and spell it out.

"What's that?"

"Sign language! I could sign it to her! It's a muggle thing so she would know it!"

"Look mate....I know you guys are the smartest here but do you really think that she will understand that?"

"No..."

"Draco, listen. Listen to me your best mate! The one man that has dated more than anyone else in the school! I, Blaise Zabini, promise to help you with this!"

"Thanks, man....but - honestly - do you think I should even do it? Or are you just being kind?"

"You know, I have had my share of heart breaks. Girls cheated on me all the time. Sometime with me! Honestly? Some of them I wish I fought for. Tried to figure things out with, but I didn't. As for you and Alliana, both of you are inexperienced in this field each only dating one other person. That means you are close. Like super close! In fact I would wager that you know her better than anyone else! You could know things only a soulmate could. So, you tell me....would she really do that to you? Would she really go back to Weasley when she is in love with you?"

"Well.....no....that doesn't sound like her at all...heck, I don't even know if that's what's happening! I can't just assume things! Right?"

"Right man! Now, go and show me how it's done! How are you going to ask your dream girl out?"

I smile at him and say, "I got. Wait here!", then run off.

- Alliana's POV -

"Liana?"

"Draco?", why is he here? This isn't his class!

"Mr. Malfoy, would you please leave the room at once? I am trying to teach a class here!", oh my.

"Only if Liana comes."

"Very well. Miss Gaunt, you may go with him."

"It's Mrs. Professor. Mrs. Malfoy.", what the-

"Draco! I am sorry, Professor, we will be leaving at once! I don't know what's come over him!", I quickly jump up grabbing my stuff before dragging a smirking Draco out of the classroom.

When we make it into the hallway, I am about scold him when I see a series of candles a roses scattering the floor. "Draco...what's going on?", I look at him and he is nervously fighting to open a box. "Draco?" He finally opens it and inside is an elegant beautiful ring. It is two emerald snakes forming a heart around a ruby rose. Once he gets it open he locks with me and gets down to one knee.

"Alliana Gaunt. I know you love class but this couldn't wait another day. Another hour. Another minute. Not even another second. I have to do this.", I can hear the catch in his voice and see the shake in his hands. Is this what I think it is?

"Draco-", he stops me before I can say anything.

"Please hear me out.", those words shut me up. Never has he seemed more urgent than now. "Alliana, a few weeks ago you started going who knows where on little adventures and I was okay with it. Granted it hurt that you were gone but I trusted you. Two days ago, I saw you talking to Ronald Weasley. I was scared that maybe...you wanted him back....as a boyfriend. When I thought about it though, you don't seem like that kind of person. No, everything you do is for the one's you love. You have always been that way. Even when you were Hermione Granger and not Alliana Gaunt.", what is this? Why do I feel touched and hurt? He doesn't trust me...but then again....here he is. I look him in the eyes and feel tears prick my eyes. "I thought it over and realized that even if by some odd...reason you were falling back in love with Ronald Weasley, then I wouldn't care." what? Is that supposed to make me feel better? Looking away, I focus on one of the listening portraits. "I wouldn't care because either way, I would still love. Still fight for you. No one can take you from me or the other way around. Alliana Gaunt, I love you. I love you with my whole entire being and there is no other way to put it then to ask you to marry me. Be my wife. Alliana Gaunt, will you marry me and be my forever and ever? My elixir of life? My everything and all things?", I stay silent for a minute. My hands over my mouth and tears streaming down my face. Eyes switching from his own eyes to the ring and back again. What do I say? We are still in school! Marriage? Forever? Forever. Forever with Draco. Forever. With. Draco. Alliana Gaunt. Alliana Malfoy. Yes, I like that sound. Very much. Without wasting another second, I leap onto him wrapping my arms around his neck. "Yes, Draco! I would love to marry you!", he sighs of relief and hugs me back, before leaning back and slipping the ring on my finger.

"There. Now you are eternally mine and I am eternally yours."

Forever and ever.

Ours.
