Chapter 20

The arms hold me with ease. My eyes are closed because the pain is unbearable, but I can smell something. Something oh too familiar , and then it hits me. It is Draco who saved my life. I'll add that to the list of reasons he is my forever love. 

My eyes fly open and I can see his pale worried face looking straight ahead. I whimper happily for I can't find me voice. He looks down his eyes full of pain. "Shh!" He says angrily. Angrily? Why would he be angry. 

We round a corner, nobody was around so he laid my down on the cold stone floor. I shudder wishing his warm arms were still around me. He sat next to me and pulled my leg gingerly into his lap. He examined it. "The wound has reopened itself and you are loosing a lot of blood." He took out his wand and muttered several spells. 

The wound closed again but the soreness and loss of blood was making me dizzy. "Why did you leave? You were safe there. I didn't have to worry for I knew you were in good hands." He says in between spells. 

I find my voice. "I had to come. For Harry and for...you." I admit. "For me? The best thing you could have done was stay away. Then I could die knowing you were safe away from the mess I created." He sighs putting down his wand. I sit up to face him.

"If you die...I won't have anything to live for." I say. "You have people who love you. You are luckier then most Kelli Potter." I avoids my gaze. "You may not have many people to love you, but-" I turn his chin up. "Anybody. I don't have anybody to love me." He corrects me. I force him to look at me. I get lost for a moment in his grey eyes. 

"You have me. I know that I may not be much, but as they always say it is quality not quantity that counts the most. I love you deeply Draco Malfoy." I am surprised even by my own words. He looks up at me. Then he kisses me passionately. I feel as though every kiss is better then the last and I get lost in my sea of love. 

He pulls away and at first I am upset that he did, but what he says makes me forget. "I love you seems to simple to say for the way I feel for you. And I do. I truly and honestly do love you. I will never love again. You are it for me, all I need to make me the happiest human. I just wish..." He says gripping my hands. 

"You wish what?" I can guess what he is to say. "I just wish we could be happy." I know what he means. Either way I doubt we will be able to find it easily. "Isn't that what winning the war should mean for the good side? It gives us our freedom that otherwise we wouldn't be able to obtain." I say knowing too well this may just be a slight misconception. 

"Yes it should." He looks sad. "It could Draco. If we don't let those around us control our decisions." I say knowing this may not be true. People around us always influence our decisions. he shakes his head sadly. "I will not lose you." He says gripping me tightly.

We have made an unspoken pact that we are to be together when this ends one way or another. I just hold onto my feeling for one more second because I can't grow up to accept the fact that everyone will be angry. 

 I lace my fingers through his and pull him up with me. With difficulty and plenty of hobbling he just holds me up with his side. I smile grateful to lean on him.
