The next day I am in advanced potions standing by Draco as Professor Slughorn introduces his course.

As Hermione explained the love potion you look to Draco with a mischievous smirk. He raises an eye to you which makes me blush slightly.

"This potion will smell like what you like most. So it is different for each person. It also causes you to become addicted to the person." Slughorn explains.

"Maybe that explains Y/n being attracted to Draco." A Ravenclaw snarks.

"You're just jealous cause guys wont even look at you." I mumble back.

The girl looks at me angrily and goes to pull out her wand, but Draco and Slughorm block her way. Slughorn then states, "No wands unless it is for the potion please. And perhaps we shouldn't fight either."

She backs down and everyone settles. We are given our project and sent to begin.

Draco and I set up beside each other and begin following instructions in the books.

Looking around, it is rather comical. Normally Snape tells us how to make it easier, but now it is just us.  How would he do it?

I'm distracted when Draco smoothly catches a nut before it hits my face. I smile at him gratefully then go back to the potion.

After potions class is finally over and Harry somehow made a perfect potion, Draco and I slipped up to the Astronomy Tower.

Once we know we are alone Draco turns and pulls me close. I hold to him and whisper, "What's the matter..?"

He sighs and pulls back, "You deserve to know about what he has planned for you..." He says hesitantly, "I just wish I could keep you from it..." 

"I know you wish to keep me from it, but the first step is knowing what it is that I am at risk of." I softly encourage him.

He puts a hand on my cheek softly then begins, "Your father wants me to bring you to him... so he can finish your training and make you his official heir. To take over when he has seized control... He wants to force you to see things his way... He said you are already connected. That he put a spell on you when you were born that gave you that mark and created a mental link between you. But it got weak when he was defeated.... Bringing you back to him could make it stonger again... or hurt you..."

I nuzzle my face into his hand, "You will have to do it... to take me to him... We have no choice."

He pulls me close and kisses me softly, passionately. I smile and kiss back, not caring that we are just trying to distract ourselves.

He deepens it and slides a hand under my shirt, causing me to moan involuntarily. I then lean back away some. "We should wait still... with everything that is coming... I'm sorry..."

"It is okay. I'll wait forever if I have to..." he says softly and caresses my cheek. "Can I ask a favor of you now though?"

I giggle at his timing, "Of course."

"Help me find the room of requirement." He asks softly. I just nod and take his hand in mine.

I help Draco get to the Room of Requirement. It is easy to get to, but we had to go unnoticed.

Once up there Draco starts working on the cabinet while I keep watch.

"Nobody is coming. I could just help you." I suggest.

"Just do as I said." He snaps.

"Draco!" I snap back, causing him to turn to me.

He glares for a moment before relaxing. "I'm sorry. It's just stressful. They told me how to fix it but it can take time. Time that I may not have."

"You can do it Draco. I know you can." I reassure him and rub his back some. He just smiles at me.

After finishing for the night, Draco walks me to my dorms. Outside he takes my hand in his, "I'll see you Tomorrow. And you should consider going to Snape. The more we know the better."

"Ok. I'll find time to talk to him. In better news, Hufflepuff needs a seeker... You think I'd be good?" I question.

"Think? I know you'll be brilliant. You always are. When are tryouts?" He asks.

"Tomorrow. You should come watch... I'd like the support..." I say with a soft smile.

He smiles back, "I will. It will be nice to do something normal. And to have a worthy opponent on the field for a change."

I smirk, "I'm a worthy opponent now, am I?"

Draco rolls his eyes and kisses my cheek, "I'll see you at the stadium during tryouts. Hufflepuff tryouts are just after Slytherin's tryouts anyhow."
