Draco Malfoy and the last Chanter

Chapter 7: Love

An owl entered the window, with a papyrus tied to its leg. I untied it and opened it. It was a message from my father:

Son, your time has come. Your biggest wish of supporting the Dark Lord will come true. We’ll see each other on the 22nd of this month in the Forbidden Forest. Until then.

I was scared. I did not really want to support You-Know-Who. But my father would kill me. I wanted my father to be proud of me. I wanted him to love me as a father.

From under the bed wriggled something. It was a grey cat that wore a letter in its mouth. When I opened the letter, it had written a message:

In five minutes at the highest tower, next to Professor Trelawney’s classroom. Lucy.

It was a short and simple letter, but thinking of seeing Lucy alone made me shiver and fill me of energy. I got my cloak and ran upstairs to meet Lucy.

She was at the door of Professor Trelawney’s classroom.

“Follow me” she said, as she opened a trap door and got up. I followed her and found myself in the wind and rain of the tower. I could see the whole forest from here, and the lake was shining. I looked at Lucy, with a puzzled face. She got closer to me, like trying to stand the impulse. I started to feel the urge to hug her and kiss her; we both got closer, looking in each other’s eyes, finally our mouths inches away from each other. We stood there for a few seconds, and letting go of myself, I tilted my head and pressed my lips against hers. We kissed for several seconds, our mouths brushing, lips to lips, her arms round my neck, mine round her waist. We were sogging wet, but nothing was important then, just our lips together. When we finally separated, both panting, caching our breath, and once we had started to breath normally, we fell into another kiss, but this time letting go of our reins, passion running through our lips, as our tongues dancing, interlacing together. My hands were running through her body by instinct. Rain and wind were trying to separate us, to go inside, but nothing could stop us. I had never felt anything before, and I was sure I would never feel anything the same again. I would never love somebody else. My heart was only for Lucy, nobody else. Adrenaline ran through my veins and my heart beated so fast I thought it would directly come out of my chest. She clutched my chest like never wanting to let go, and I grabbed her tightly in my arms. I put my lips on her neck, feeling the warmth of her skin on my lips. Her fingers ran through my blonde hair, now all sticking everywhere. Her blue eyes were closed, and her breath was quick and short. It had already darkened, and bright stars were covering the night sky. It had stopped raining, and the wind was just a light breeze now. Dripping wet and shivering, we decided to go back inside. Everybody had already had dinner, but I didn’t really care.

When I reached the common room, everybody asked me where I had been. I didn’t respond and went directly to bed.

In the middle of the night, I woke up by footsteps in the room. I looked around, but I didn’t see anything. I whispered Luminus, but couldn’t see anything. And then out of the nowhere, Lucy appeared.

“What are you doing here!?” I asked her.

“I’ve come to see you. I heard the password, and I just… Oh, Draco… I’m really stupid. I thought… I thought that you… Well… You know…” She stammered.

My heart gave a leap. She really did want me. She liked me. I was so happy I could jump over the clouds. She got into the bed, and we stayed there, silently, our arms wrapping each other, her head on my chest, my chin on her head, until she lifted her head, her face looking at me, those eyes put on mine, and she just lifted her head so that our lips could touch. They only brushed, but then the second kiss was more passionate, her hands running my bare chest, my hands running her figure, doing things they had never done and, maybe, would never do with anybody else, and the night went silently, the passion of a pair of lovers filling the air, and their bodies moved together like two swaying bodies dancing to the rhythm of the music, as our two naked bodies moved like never before.
