The mud blood and the pure blood *Harry Potter *

Ch Eight

Grace walked down into common room. She saw Maia sitting there with Draco. She walked over to them.

Draco stood up and walked off. He and Grace had decided to fake it that they had broken up. So whenever they were around Maia, they acted like they didn't want to be around each other.

Maia sighed. "I'm sorry. It's my fault that he's always walking away. I just don't want you to get hurt. You're not mad at me are you okay?" She asked.

Grace shook her head. "No. Not at all. I'm just tired. Snape is giving us an exam today. So I've been studying for that."

Maia smiled slightly. She sighed. "I'll make this right. I'll tell him to not be a jackass cause of me."

"Mai. It's okay. It really is. We were kidding ourselves thinking we could be together. I have to focus on staying alive through all of this," Grace said.

Grace made her way to the room of requirement. She saw Draco sitting there. "I feel bad."

"Why?"

"Maia. She's blaming herself for you being apparently off with me," Grace said as she sat down next to him. The two of them were having breakfast together. "Maybe we could tell her about us."

Draco sighed. "Grace. She wouldn't understand. She's your best friend. Yes. But she won't understand. Let's just enjoy breakfast and then spend the whole day hating each other."

"Fine."

Draco kissed her passionately and smiled. "I love you. You know that right?"

"I know."

Grace walked into potions. She saw Maia sitting there. "Where have you been? You weren't at breakfast," Maia said.

"I was in the library. Cramming for this test," Grace lied. She felt bad for lying. But she knew deep down, Draco was right. Maia wouldn't understand their love. "I had some toast so I'm not hungry."

"Okay."

Grace sat down just as Snape walked in. She looked over at Draco who was sitting there with a smirk on his face. Grace rolled her eyes but smiled.

Grace knew her relationship with Draco was challenging to say the least. But she couldn't help wanting him.

Grace made her way to lunch with Maia. Maia sighed. "The dark lord wants me to get Severus into bed. I've been putting it off as long as I can, but I can't do it anymore. I've faked it."

Grace smiled. "It'll be okay. What has Snape said?"

"He said he can manipulate the dark lord so it looks like we've done it," Maia said.

Grace hugged her and smiled. "I promise. Everything will be okay."

Grace was alone in the common room. She looked up as Draco walked in. "Where is everyone?" He asked as he looked at her.

"I don't know."

Draco shrugged. He walked over to her and scooped her up. He made his way to the boys dormitory. "Draco?"

"Just shut up."

Draco dropped her onto his bed. Within moments they had both stripped off. Grace moaned as he pushed into her. He started off slow but soon sped up.

Grace felt him reach his high. He soon followed. He pulled out of her and sighed. "I love you Grace Mellows."

"I love you too."

Draco kissed her passionately. But both were unaware that as they laid in bed, their forbidden affair was about to be revealed.
