Unexpected (Completed?)

Chapter 1

I sat in the train compartment alone. I didn't want to be around Harry and his friends nor did I want to sit anywhere near Draco and the other Slytherins. I didn't want to be here at all. No one bothered me. Everyone left the Slytherin Princess alone. After a little bit the compartment door opened. Draco. “Sophie, we need to talk.” I glared at him, “why Draco? Care to say Sophie I'm so sorry my father works for the psychopath who murdered your parents?” He shifted uncomfortably. He sat across from me and took my hands, “Sophie Dahlia Potter, my love, my everything, love of my life, I'm sorry. I am so terribly sorry for my father's wrongdoings.” I glared at the sight of my hands in his, I pulled away and I saw the glimpse of something on his arm. He instantly knew I knew. We sat there, silently, the tension in the air growing until it was suffocating. “Draco, please, please don't tell me you're one of them.” His head dropped. “Soph I had to. He was going to kill mother and I if I declined.” My heart broke. “Draco I can't be with a Death Eater.” He stood up and left. No more did he leave and the train was plunged in darkness. I cried the rest of the way to Hogwarts.

At the feast I sat with Daphne and Astoria ignoring Draco as he sat across from me. Harry came in late bleeding from his nose and Draco chuckled. I looked at him and he quit and instantly brushed his foot against mine. I didn't pay attention to anything Dumbledore said because I really didn't care at this point. Draco, my Draco was a Death Eater. Why? I felt a weird sensation in my head, probably a headache coming on from all the stress. I couldn't eat, Draco stared at me barely touching his own food. “Sophie you need to eat.” I looked up at Draco after he spoke and looked at my untouched plate of food. How could I eat? How could he even sit here and tell me what to do? He threw our would be 6-year long relationship down the loo for Voldemort, fucking Voldemort. He nudged my foot until I looked at him in the eyes. He mouthed so no one really noticed, “Soph please.” Tears were forming in his eyes. I slowly bit into my roast and ate a few bites of everything. Daphne kept looking between Draco and I questioningly. After what seemed like forever Dumbledore dismissed us to our houses and to our beds.

I followed everyone to the dungeons, without paying much attention to Draco's hand that kept trying to hold mine. Eventually I gave up the fight and let him hold my hand.  As we reached the common room Blaise gave his Prefect speech. As I went to head upstairs, he grabbed my attention, “Snape wants to see you in his office before you go to bed.” I nodded and left the common room. If I wasn't already stressed and tired now, I've got to deal with Professor Snape. Which really isn't that bad but still. Walking into his office he was pacing, “you wanted to see me Professor Snape?” He stood still, “yes Miss Potter, its compulsory you learn occulemency. Your mind needs discipline and is easy to invade.” I nodded. “Sophie, I do not need to tell you to keep Draco's secret to yourself. It’s imperative to his safety and your own that information stays to yourself.” How does he know I know? I felt a similar feeling in my head and suddenly Snape was in a random memory. He was in my mind. He pulled away and I nodded. “You may go Potter.” As I walked towards the door I stopped, “Aunt Petunia found letters and notes between you and my mother. She wanted me to ask you if you'd like her to owl them.” His head lowered and gave a slight nod. With that I walked back to my dorm. The great thing about being in Slytherin is we had our own rooms. When I got to my dorm Draco was on my bed holding a picture of us tears streaming down his face. “Soph I didn't want this. I don't want this.” Shaking I sat beside him and ran my fingers through his tousled hair. He laid his head on my lap and just cried. How am I supposed to feel? I love Draco, but can I save him from this?

After what seemed like hours Draco stopped sobbing and sat up, “Sophie, I need you.” I nodded and laid down, he laid down and pulled me close to him, “Draco I can't make any promises, but I'll try.” He kissed my head and we drifted off to sleep. Waking up was a familiar feeling, I never not woke up with Draco when we were at school. He left to get ready for classes as did I and we met to go to the Great Hall. Pansy was trying her hardest to get his attention in the common room. She still hasn't gotten the hint. “Draco it’s such an honor! Draco father told me all about it your parents must be so proud.” I rolled my eyes and stalked over, “Pansy will you please quit drooling over my boyfriend before you resemble a dog instead of a pig?” Draco chuckled and wrapped his arms around me and she looked defeated searching for a comeback that would actually hurt. “Well at least my mother wasn't a mudblood.” I turned towards her and without a second thought punched her straight in the nose with a satisfying crunch. The common room was deadly silent. “Detention Miss Potter, my office, after dinner tonight.” I turned toward Snape who had just happened to appear. “Lovely.” I stormed out of the common room for breakfast. Draco was hot on my heels carrying his schedule and mine. “Soph stop.” I kept walking. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a dark alcove, “Soph stop.” I let out the breath I had been holding. “Let it out, no one will see.” Tears streamed down my face as I cried silently. After a few minutes I wiped my face and any trace of crying. “Feel better?” I nodded and pressed a kiss to his lips, “I love you. Always.” He kissed me again and we went to breakfast. This was going to be a very long day to a very long year.
