Sanctuary ~ A Draco Malfoy Love Story

12 ~ Brother

Alessa's POV

Transfiguration finally ended. I walked over to Daphne to discuss my thoughts.

"Daph." I called out.

"Les! Why'd you just leave us for him?" She immediately snapped.

"I wanted to get out as fast as possible, he offered to walk me." I explained.

"And you accepted?" She looked shocked and disgusted.

"Not the point, I have more important things to discuss." I told her.

"What important things?" Draco asked behind me.

I couldn't help but blush ever so slightly. Now that I recognize my feelings for him, I feel...jittery around him.

Daphne actually noticed the blush and my awkwardness and widened her eyes. "Extremely important things, bye boys!" She dragged me to the nearest bathroom.

"Please tell me you finally got over your denial phase." Daphne pleaded.

"I did." I grinned shyly. "I think I really like him."

"Do you finally realize you've liked him for three years?" She squealed in excitement.

"Two, I think." I said, unsure.

"Well at least you finally acknowledge it." She huffed. "Will you tell him?"

"Not now of course." I thought of it. "When the time is right."

Daphne jumped in joy. "Finally." She sighed.

"I think the boys are in the common room, we should go to them. Don't you dare say anything." I warned.

"Of course I won't!" She assured me. Although I was pretty sure she would tell Blaise.

(timeskip bc I'm a bit lazy)

Daphne and I were preparing for bed, talking about the day's events.

"I'm happy you'd finally admit your feelings." Daphne said, putting toothpaste on her toothbrush.

I finished washing my face and took my silk nightgown out. "He's my second crush. Or first. Seth didn't count did he?" I started worrying about the slightest things.

Daphne merely shook her head. I slipped into my comfortable nightgown.

I yawned, "Daphne I'm sleeping now!"

I snuggled under the sheets and turned my lamp off. I closed my eyes and was immediately welcomed by darkness.

(Dreams)

I opened my eyes to the same graveyard covered in fog.

"So the young Malfoy?" Tom's voice echoed.

"What is it to you?" I sneered.

"Tsk, calm down sister." Tom chuckled. "We are very much alike, from our eyes to our attitudes. You'd sacrifice anything to protect your friends, wouldn't you, sister?"

"And you'd do anything to get what you want." I rolled my eyes.

"Do you want to know where you got that scar?"

I touched my cheek, I could see the green glow from the corner of my eye.

"That is a mark. From me to you, Ciara."

I flinched when he said my name.

"My little question is, how much would you sacrifice for your friends?"
