Setting: 5th Year, Hogwarts

As a pureblood in the Slytherin house at Hogwarts. It comes with responsibility. Especially being the heir to Tom Riddle himself. You we're burdened with the fact of becoming the heir of Slytherin by taking your fathers place in the family tree. Your peers and teachers of Hogwarts would consistently judge you for simply existing as a Riddle. Y/N Riddle. The girl who was misjudged by all.

However, you had one person who kept sane through all this. His name was Draco Lucius Malfoy. You both were the perfect pieces to each other's puzzle. The boy made you happy when you were sad and you did the vary same. Yet, the relationship was not all sunshine and rainbows all the time. Him being a Malfoy made it hard on the two of you due to his father's strictness and harshness towards his son and you both's relationship.

As the clock struck 12 in the late night of the Hogwarts school. You both met at the Astronomy Tower to loose humanity and two be together. Discussing and talking about the most random of topics and joking about the idiotic of things.

Draco would hold you closely and also protectively as you both laid on the several quilts and pillows you both brought in secret from your bed's. He would gently run his smooth, ringed hand down your back to your lower thighs back up to your shoulders as you two spoke. Endlessly looking into each others eyes as the night went on.

If you two were not cuddling through the night. You would initiate a simple dance with the old vintage record player quietly playing in the background of your minds. He would be rather clumsy at first, but in month's time. The bleach blonde would have the waltz down perfectly for the Yule Ball.

Draco would hold his hand firmly on your hip as well as holding your hand in his, your head resting on his shoulder. He would hum the tune to whatever Victorian classic was playing over the record player as you two were lost in your own thoughts.

Your futures together or alone. You both dreaded the thought of loosing each other due to your parent's wicked plans for you both. Neither of you dared to even speak upon the topic due to it breaking you both at the idea of loosing one another.

As you two would waltz closely. Draco would kiss the side of your head down to your neck lovingly. Yearning more and more of your touch. Not sexually hungry, but so touched starved to the point where he mentally was frail and broken from the lack of love of others. He needed you and you needed him. Regardless of how bad an argument got. It would always be patched up and forgotten about. Your bond between you both was inseparable.

As the night would end, Draco would wait for you to fall into your slumber and carefully take you back to the ladies' dorm, using his magic so the stairs would allow him to proceed up. Placing each pillow and quilt you brought back in it's normal seating on your bed. He would tuck you in before brushing the few hairs remaining on your face. He adored seeing you like this. It was the time you were at peace besides you two being alone. He would rest his hand on your cheek for a few seconds after fixing your hair. Taking in the last bits of warmth he could get, until the next day before leaving a gentle kiss on your head.

Draco smiled softly to himself before whispering every so softly as always before turning to leave, "Goodnight my dearest, Y/N... May your dreams be filled with joy and happiness..."

With that he would quietly blow out his candle and return to the boys side of the common room and head to bed. Not to sleep, but to ponder in bed if you were alright and fondled with the bits of his sheets, wishing you were there to rest by his side. Holding you close as you both were peacefully sleeping as lovers would.

The blonde subsided with the fact you were peacefully asleep not to far from where he was and after some time would fall asleep. Waking up the next day, pretending the night before never happened for the sake of you both's reputation and sake of family drama.

He kept you sane and you did the very same.
