Unforgiven ~ (Draco Malfoy x OC)

~Forgiveness~

I followed Snape in the dark corridors of the dungeons.

He was talking to me about something related to the training that would follow, but I wasn't paying attention.

The dungeons looked amazing!

The green light of the lamps and the dim light that came through the windows, from the depths of the Black Lake sent chills through my whole body, but in a nice way. It made my blood boil with excitement.

"Are you listening to me, Miss Abbot??" asked Snape, raising the tone of his voice

"Ohhhh!! Yes professor!" I screamed , coming back to the real world.

"Repeat what I said then" he said and stopped in front of me smirking in a way which showed that he knew I wasn't paying attention.

'Damn it! He got me!'

I remained silent, trying to make sense of the few words I picked up.

"Do you think I am volunteering to do this training with a stupid little girl that doesn't give a damn about my lessons?" He said, now shouting.

'He is doing it for me, for the safety of everyone and I am just being arrogant, not paying attention'

"I am sorry professor..."I said in an apologetic tone, looking at the ground.

He didn't say anything, opened a door at the end of the corridor and signaled me to go in with a nod.

Behind the door there was a small room. The walls were covered in shelves, filled with potion ingredients and in the middle of the room there was a dark wooden table with two also dark wooden chairs.

He closed the door behind me and we both sat at the chairs.

"Okay, now I will try to enter your mind and I want you to let me in" he said, his raven black eyes looking into mine strictly.

'And how do I do that??'

"Just don't hide your feelings and your thoughts. Don't suppress them" he said, answering my unasked question.

"Legilimens!" He screamed and pointed his wand at me.

I was outside, in a forest. I could feel the wind on my skin. I could smell the moisture of the rain on the leaves and the noise of branches breaking echoed after each of my steps.

I had been there before, I was sure.

Suddenly two little girls ran in front of me and the dark haired one fell on me.

"Woahhh, are you okay?" I said looking at the girl.

She didn't look at me. Her gaze was focused on the other, smaller girl, who kept running.

"Be more careful next time!" I told her while she started running towards the other, blonde girl.

"Wait for me!!! Clare!!" She screamed.

'Clare? That blond little girl is Clare? Does that mean that the other one that fell....was me?'

I started running, following them.

Their laughter was as soft as music to my ears and their smiles were bright, filled with happiness.

"Alex! Clare! Come over here!" A voice of a woman was heard.

That was mother, or as I called her when I was little...

"Mommy! We're coming!" The little me screamed.

Mother was waiting under a tree with a book in her hands. She wore a bright yellow dress and she had a big, kind and filled with love smile on her face.
