The White Peacock (A Draco Malfoy Fanfic)

Chapter 39: The Stars

"Draco stop" I giggle, as he runs his hands up my skirt while we make out. I push his hands off, while I sit on him, straddling him on a desk in the room of requirement.

"Make me" he mumbles as he continues to kiss me, bringing his hand up my skirt again

"I'm serious, I have to be in class soon" I say pushing his hand away playfully.

I pull away, still on top of him, and stare back into his grey eyes. Fuck, I was falling so hard for this boy.

It had been 3 months since we had got back from our break, everyday since then we have been making more and more progress on the cabinet, after we would finish for the day we would lie together on the ground feeling exhausted, and ramble on about random stories, ideas, dreams, sometimes completely losing track of time. Not to mention we could barely keep our hands off each other.

Although it wasn't always this perfect, we fought like cats and dogs almost every day, he just really knew how to push my buttons, and I knew how to push his, especially when I would bring up any conflicting issues that would make him question his actions or prejudices against my kind.

However it was necessary if I was really going to make sure he didn't kill Dumbledore, I needed to make him question everything if I was going to save his soul, I couldn't just ask him not to do it for me, he needed to do it for him.

He pulls my face back down to his lips, and continues to kiss me, his fingers tangled in the curls of my hair. He knew that drove me crazy.

"Draco" I whine while kissing him back

"Yes Margot" he replies while we kiss.

"Ew, don't call me that" I say pulling away

"Why? you call me by my first name" he teases pulling me back to him

"Okay I really need to go" I say with a laugh as I climb down.

He gets off the table and grabs my book bag and waits for me at the door while I straighten myself up, making sure all my buttons were buttoned up.

"I need to stop coming here in between classes" I say playfully as he hands me my bag

"You never could resist me... Margot" he says with a smirk

I roll my eyes and leave the room.

I head to history of magic, feeling slightly flustered. I sat with Neville as usual, behind Harry and Ron. Harry and Ron were discussing everything going on with Dumbledore, it felt weird knowing the whole half of the story they were missing. I knew Harry was suspicious of both Snape and Draco after overhearing their conversation at the slug club Christmas party, so I couldn't possibly convince him otherwise, however what he didn't have was proof, and I had to make sure he wouldn't be able to get it. The only loose end left was Katie.

Draco's POV

Fuck I'm starving, I looked over at the clock on the wall in the room of requirement, it was dinner time in the great hall. I left the room and made my way down there, I wondered if Murph was down there.

I entered the great hall and walked towards the Slytherin table, I locked eyes with Potter as I took my seat, Why couldn't that prick just mind his own business for once in his life. I get distracted as I see Murph walk in, her big brown eyes instantly locking with mine, her face fighting the urge to smile.

She sat down with her friends, however kept stealing quick glances back at me while she ate her dinner, honestly sometimes she was the worst actress. I continue to eat, trying to ignore her, when she gets up from her seat, gives me once last look and makes her way to the door.

I smiled to myself slightly and got up to follow her out, once I get outside of the great hall she isn't anywhere in sight, I continue down the corridor when she grabs me from behind a wall and brings me to her. I pick her up immediately, as she wraps her legs around my waist, and bring her lips to mine,

"we should probably make our way to the room of requirement, right?" she says in between kisses

"I think we deserve a break for the night, lets go somewhere else" I suggest

I put her down and take her hand, making sure no one was around. We make or way up towards the astronomy tower,  we get to the top and I lead her towards the edge, we lay down together and look at the stars.

"This is nice" she breathes

"Its calming" I say holding her hand. Her fingers gently fiddling with mine, 

"What do you think is out there?" she says in amazement, looking at the stars

"Who knows, infinite possibilities " I reply

"It's just crazy to think we are nothing but a speck of dust in the universe, almost like our lives and problems on this tiny speck are so small and insignificant to mysteries out there" She says looking back at me, I turn and look back at her.

"Draco" she begins saying

"Margot" I say back to her

"Do you actually hate muggleborns, like really hate?" she asks, catching me off guard.

"I did for the longest time, but now when I see them, I see you" I say distastefully.

This was a hard reality I had realised a while ago, and I hated it, it made me feel disgusted in myself, I was a blood traitor, because not only did I care for a muggleborn, I now empathised with their kind.

"You don't sound so happy about that" she says dryly

"you think I want to feel the pain of the kind I am ordered to rid the world of" I growl

"You are strong enough to deal with it" she says bluntly, making me scoff

"Maybe it's a good thing ... maybe you might fight back... maybe not go through with your task" she says gently

I let go of her hand and sit up, "Don't start this shit again Murph" I growl

"You are not a killer Draco, and I am not going to let you be" she exclaims

"I'm so sick of you judging me all the time" I shout at her

"I am not judging you, I am trying to help you, I am trying to ensure there is a way for us to be together after that cabinet is fixed" she shouts back

"For fuck sake Murph be realistic, there is no happy ending for us, honestly you always piss me off with this self-righteous bull shit" I say grimly.

"You are such an asshole" she says getting up

"Where are you going" I say getting up with her

"Away from you" she says storming off.

"Just because you leave in the middle of a fight doesn't mean you won" I shout at her

"Yes, it does" she screams back, if she thought I was going to run after her she had another thing coming. We were both equally as stubborn, It's a wonder how we ever make up.

After spending a few more minutes to calm down, I make my way downstairs, and towards the dungeons, when Snape appears, making his way towards me.

"This isn't a good time" I growl, as he approaches me

"Well unfortunately Malfoy, there is never a good time, I have a message for you... from your mother" he replies

"My mother?" I say back with concern

"Yes, she wants you to meet her tomorrow in Hogsmeade, she knows about... the muggle born girl" he says gravely.
