Ember Riddle (Draco Malfoy Love Story)

10

Chapter 10.

A week rolled by quickly as Draco and I familiarised ourselves with each other over and over again. We had to make up for lost time if you get what I mean.

It was nearly time for Draco to compete his task, a task I was no longer looking forward too. I mean, I only helped him so he wouldn't get into trouble with my father. After all, I love Draco and didn't want him hurt. I saw what he can do with just a whisper of words. A small little word that can end everything. Within seconds you breathing is annihilated, you face, pale with lack of oxygen, body, as lifeless as an old chew toy. I've seen it happen to somebody me I love dearly, and after then, it's never going to happen again.

"What's going on in the pretty little head of yours?" Draco asks coaxing me out of my daydream with a whisper of his soothing voice.

"Just how the last part of your mission is coming up soon. I'm slightly worried about it. Dumbledore is a strong wizard. He has the wand to prove it," I truthfully told Draco what was on my mind.

Of course I knew I had a plan with Dumbledore and Snape but I was still worried, anything could happen.

"Are you worried about me Ember?" He teased.

I rolled my eyes. "You know the answer to that already dumbhead. Of course I do, you're my boyfriend and I love you." I smiled shyly at him.

I was still not used to being with Draco yet, it was all so surreal. So much so that everything had changed between us. I was no longer a bitchy girlfriend. Okay, so maybe that's a slight stretch. I can't change something in my DNA. But I wasn't as confident since our break up. I realised that if he could affect me that much then who knows who else could. I became slightly more self aware. It was a good thing, nothing bad.

What I'd do realise as well was that I relied too much on him. I loved him yes but I relied on him keeping me sane. From not lashing out at people. Sounds pathetic, especially when he lashes out all the time, to Harry, to Ron, and to Hermione. But no, somehow I could be with him and all my cares flew away, it was just me and him, us against the world.

As he puts it, we can never just have a normal conversation, can we. By that he means we have a small little conversation, say everything is okay and then have makeup sex. But that's besides the point.
What I'm trying to say is that I'm stronger now, I was physically strong then, now I'm more mentally strong. I've improved on keeping my powers under lock and check, as well as keeping my emotions at bay. I'm more stable now. I'm not likely to kill someone unless they really deserve it. Like one of my fathers minions. After all, that shit is whack.

"Have I ever told you how cute you are when you are deep in thought?" Draco's voice yet again pulls me out of my lull.

"Sorry, I keep doing that."

"It's fine, you look cute. Now stop worrying about everything. I've been told there is a party going on tonight. Something slughorn is hosting I believe." He gave my hand a squeeze and kissed my temple.

I relaxed at his touch and ran into him.

"Annoyingly I was invited but I don't want to go. I want to spend the whole time cuddled up with you just resting." I smiled at the thought.

"What does resting entail Ember? Having hot and steamy sex for the third time today or me making love to you?" He asked a smirk on his lips.

"I meant actual relaxing for your information."

"We'll see about that." He grinned and kissed my lips, fueling the fire.
