The Windows To Our Souls - Draco Malfoy Love story

Meeting and Goodbyes

Summer here, Its been ages since I wrote some of this story. This one is going to be longer than the others so enjoy x. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Getting ready in my room, I was interrupted by pansy dancing and singing around the room, in a very un-Pansy like fashion. "Mia got a crush, Mia got a crush!" She sang at the top of her voice, and I rolled my eyes at the girl, who I had shared a room with all year. "Whatever gave you that idea Pansy?" I asked, genuinely shocked. “IL est évident, Mia" I once again rolled my eyes at her childishness.

Finally ready, I made my way to the Astronomy Tower, everything was silent, well apart from Pansy's snores. The halls were vacant. A chilling wind wipped past me as if running from an unknown threat, I pulled my robe tighter around me ; not from the cold, but from the fact that I was alone in an old castle. Afraid. I don't know why, I had walked these halls so many time, just as I had dreamed of all my life.

Like the halls, the Tower was also empty, with no sign of life never mind Draco. "Hello, Draco?" I called cautiously. Shadows covered most of the floor and I didn't dare go near them, they had always been my fear since being little. Stupid I know but anything unknown threat could be hiding there. Just then some one chuckled "Hello Love." Then Draco stepped out from the shadows his skin stark white against the night sky.

We sat talking most of the nigh and I desperately not to fall asleep, but it wasn't until I woke up that I realised I had. It felt like a dream, I don't know why but it did ; I looked at my clothes and I knew then that it wasn't and Draco had called me Love? It was our last day at Hogwarts and everyone was busy packing to go home, I on the other hand had packed yesterday so I went to sit by the lake. The summer will seem like an eon, everyone hating me wont make it any better but atleast when its over, I will be back here with my friends.

Sitting on my own, my mind wondered what Draco was doing rigth now, but I didn't have to think too much as someone decided to cover my eyes. "Guess who?" Came a voice that I would never forget, that I would recognise in death. I decided to annoy him a bit. "Hmm, Ron Weasley?" Draco scoffed. "No, I know Harry Potter!" I said. I turned and tackled him into a hug. "Don't worry I knew it was you Draco." I assured the blonde.

"We need to get to the train now Mia." He said with a sad smile. I don't know how I'm going to survive the summer without seeing his face, hearing his smile. His laugh, his snarky remarks. Worst of all I don't know how I'm going to last without seeing him. "Come on then Mia." he said as he helped me to my feet. we spent most of the walk to the station in silence.

A silence that was to be broken the moment we got on the train. "Hey Lee. OVER HERE!" I heard on of my brothers shout ""Twins." I said with an exasperated sigh. Some things never change. "MIA!!!" One of them shouted, they were right next to me and the shout almost deafened me. He stopped shouting when he noticed that I was next to him. We had a long conversation, mostly of him apologising for ignoring me all year and we were back to being friends.

When it was over, I went to find Draco. I found him in the Slytherin section, obviously, sitting with his goonies, "Hello boys. Deciding which first year to steal sweets from?" I asked, a smirk plasted on my face. Despite not speaking to me for the past few months, their faces stretched into wide, ugly grins, "I see that Draco finally got his act together." Chuckled Crabbe. I rolled my eyes at their faces.

Draco was sat, his eyes closed and face turned toward the window, but he had a small, sad smile on his face. "Just ignore them Mia, that’s what I do. Crabbe, Goyle go." He said, he sounded happy, but his eyes seemed distant as if worried about the events to come. Once the 'Goonies' had left, Draco's seemed to perk up, a bit. "Are you going to sit down Mia? Or are you just going to stand there staring into space?" He asked, his voice was soft but it was as if he was holding something back.

"Que caches-tu de moi Draco?" I asked worry laced in my voice. He was never like this in school. "Vous ne voulez pas rentrer à la maison?" Still he did not answer, I knew he knew what I was saying, as he looked as if he wanted to answer but couldn't. Finally he said something.

"Je ne veux pas vous quitter. Je ne serai pas capable de survivre sans entendre ton rire. En voyant votre sourire, la façon dont vous rougissez quand quelqu'un vous complimente. Comment vous rassurer quelqu'un quand ils se sentent vers le bas." He paused before he went on,"Il a presque tué moi de rester loin de vous toute l'année et je sais que l'été sera encore pire parce que je ne pouvais atleastthen seuil entendre votre luaugh, voir ton sourire."

The whole speech left me with tears in my eyes and made me hug him. His eyes too were full of tears,"Ne vous inquiétez pas, nous allons écrire tous les jours." I comforted the blonde.

The rest of the train ride was spent Draco and I filling each other in of what we had done the whole year. But without seeing him, my year was highly uneventful. When the train stopped neither Draco nor I wanted to leave the compartment, but we knew that we would have to sooner or later. The platform was so crowded, first years running back to their parents telling them of the wonders of Hogwarts and last year’s crying, knowing that, that was the last time they would ever travel to Hogwarts.

I spied my 'family' through the sea of bodies, Ron was babbling to Potter and Hermione, Fred and George were looking around the platform and Ginny was bouncing where she stood in excitement. I only just realised that Draco was holding my had so tight, as if afraid of ever letting go, he was looking down at me; his gaze full of sadness. He pulled me into a tight embrace, over his shoulder, I could see his parents giving him disappointed and annoyed gazes, his father, but his mother had a warm look in her eyes and looking directly at me. "Je dois y aller, Ma, Vous vous occupez vous-même pour moi, ne sera pas vous?" he said sadness filled his voice. "au revoir, Draco."

I heard what could have been a goodbye but I couldn't be sure, as I made my way back to my family.

My mother smiled as she saw me walk over but it looked forced and unreal. "Hi mum, Ginny." I greeted them. "Let’s get home then shall we." her voice was warm but I couldn't be sure if I could trust it or not. One thing I did know though, was that this was going to be a long summer without my best friend.

AN: The next chapter will be in the summer and the secret letters that Draco and Mia send to each other throughout it. Summer x
