Draco’s New Lover
Chapter 6: Old Stories
Draco was waiting for the perfect time to ask Melissa to the ball with him. If he did it too soon, he’d seem clingy but if he didn’t do it soon enough she might say yes to someone else. He was so busy thinking about this that he almost missed it when she said they had to go see Professor Snape. He nodded and they continued walking in silence.
When they reached the potions classroom, there were students in there writing notes and doing their homework. Snape looked towards the doorway to the see the two Slytherin students standing there, peering in. “I have to go and do something, if one of you so much as whispers, you’ll have detention with me!” He walked out and shooed the two students from the doorway. “Where do we go?” Draco asked looking at him. “Room of Requirement. Draco you agreed earlier that we were going to go there anyway, I owe you a story” He nodded and Snape shrugged “Sure.”
They walked to the Room of Requirement and when they got there, Melissa was the one to think of a perfect place. They entered a room with one couch and two smaller seats, a fireplace and a large bookshelf. Melissa went and sat in one of the smaller seats, which was green and incredibly comfortable. Draco went and laid down on the couch, which was also green and very comfy, Snape walked over to Melissa. He stared at her. “I’m waiting” Melissa rolled her eyes and pulled her shirt up. Snape pulled out his wand and muttered something under his breath. Gold runes glowed on his hand and he nodded. “It worked. You’re pregnant.” She nodded “Yes, I already know that!” Both men looked at her with raised eyebrows. “Well I know when even the tiniest thing is different with my body. Having an egg is one of them I knew from the moment I woke up.” Both men kept staring but it was Draco who was the first to speak.
“Why didn’t you say anything?” he looked hurt. “I didn’t want to get anyone’s hopes up and then realize that I wasn’t really pregnant. It wasn’t a 100% sure thing. Thought it might be best to wait and see.” Draco nodded and Snape went and sat down on his seat. “Well I suppose I need to tell you a story then” She looked at Draco and he gave a small smile. “I guess you do.” Melissa took a deep breath and started.
“I was born in a small town in England. My family was rich as my mother was the best healer in our town and her parents had been rich before they passed away. Being an only childe, she inherited it. My father worked in a muggle invention shop and was always bringing home things for Luke and I to play with. The town was beautiful. My parents had fit in it wonderfully. My mother was beautiful. Big pale blue eyes, dark, dark hair. I got my looks from her. Hundreds of men would bow at her feet in hopes for even a look. My mother had a kind, loving heart so she looked at each of them and nodded. My father was just as handsome. Bright green eyes a mop of brown hair. Lilly and Luke look like him. They were both smart and loved to sing. My Mother had a voice so sweet, it made birds fall silent to listen and my father’s voice made you want to laugh and cry at the same time.” She took a deep shaky breath. Draco could see the tears in her eyes and could her the pain in her voice and the struggle to keep it even.
“I was two years old when they realized my talents. They knew what it meant and what they had to do. I heard them discussing it one night. They said they would come for me but I didn’t know whom they were. Nearly every night when I was asleep I heard them say that they were proud of me and that they would love me forever no matter what.” A single tear ran down her cheek.
“When I was five, seven death eaters came to our town and that was when we discovered the full extent of my powers. I single handedly took down all of them. We had to constantly move after that. I didn’t understand any of it I just knew that I had to trust mum and dad. Two year’s later we were in a small town. We had been there for a week and things were good. Things were good until an army of 30 or 40 death eaters turned up. My mum held me in her arms for a few seconds and kissed me on the head and told me she was sorry. She told me that she was sorry for everything that was about to happen and that she was going to miss me. I didn’t know what was going on. Dad was never good at goodbyes so when he came up to me he held me in his arms and just stayed silent. When he looked at me I could see the pain in his eyes. He looked me in the eye and said, “I’m so proud of you Melissa, no matter what happens please remember that we all love you, and that we are all so proud. Goodbye my Pretty Princess” I was so confused. I remember I kept thinking why everyone was saying goodbye.”
