As the World Caves In

still

Dray

    As her hand is on my face I lean in closer to her and kiss her softly. I try to break the kiss after a couple of seconds to look at her but she grabs the back of my neck making the kiss longer. It feels good that things are finally back to normal. We catch up dring dinner and it's like we've never taken a break from us. Aftr dinner we take a walk down Diagon Alley hand in hand. I feel so safe with her next to me. We go into Eternelle's Elixir of Refreshment to grab something to drink. On our way there I can see some people who go to Hogwarts and I'm happy to show them that Skye and I are back together (altough we tried keeping up the facade, this time it's for real.) We sit down and drink gilly water. I keep wanting to look at her because I crave her glance so much and when she looks at me I can feel true happiness filling my heart. I put my hand under his jawline, holding her head then kissing her gently.  As I stop kissing her and lean back a bit I whisper to her with a smirk "I'm thrilled you're mine again." She grabs the side of my head and whispers in my ear seductively "You're mine." She's the best thing that's ever happened to me I think to myself. I see some gryffindors walking in and staring at us. I kiss Skye's neck while looking at them to make the staring stop and after a couple of seconds they look away and whisper to each other. "Hey do you wanna come over?" she asks with a faint smile. I nod towards the door so we get up and head out. "Oh wait we can't use floo powder because our house is protected with spells and we can't apparate yet..." she realizes as she pouts. "It's okay, we could go over to ours" I offer the idea. "Yeah okay I can't stay long though cause Alik will get paranoid if I don't signal him before like midnight..." she states. "Well then you should just get home and we'll meet at the train station, okay?" I calm her down as I grab both of her shoulders and give her a warm smile. She looks down shyly but then comes closer to me and hugs me tightly. I put my hand on the back of her head pulling her in closer.

Skye

      As I'm hugging Dray I push the little button in on my bracelet so that Alik will come get me. With Draco's arms around me I feel so secure. "See you on the train" I say to him after I end the hug and in the next moment my brother is standing next to me. "Malfoy" Alik says to him with a threathening expression. "We should go" I turn to my brother preventing a possible fight between the two of them. "Bye Skye" Dray gives me a quick kiss on the cheek which makes Alik upset because he doesn't like the idea of me being with boys so he quickly grabs me and apparates. When we reach our destination we go into the house and sit down on the couch. "So uhh how was it?" he asks uncomfortably. "We don't have to talk about my love life" I softly giggle. "Thanks sis" he responds gratefully. "By the way how are things with You-Know-Who and the death eaters?" I change the subject to a more concerning matter. "He's been gathering more followers so He pays less attention to me which is good because I don't have to work so hard towards Him believing that we're still on His side." he explains. "How are we gonna get out of this A?" I ask him. "We'll have to wait for the right moment" he sighs. "The right moment yeah... Does that mean before or after he's killed Harry?" I ask him sarcastically and upset. "Come on Skye-" he starts to respond but I cut him off "No Alik, there won't BE a right moment! But there WILL be dead people. People we love will die if we don't do something quickly because you know He is planning to do something, He always is." I say out of despair. "I'm sorry" I bury my head in my hands and I can feel my brothers hand on my back trying to calm me down. "It's okay. Our plan will work, no one has to die" he says reassuringly as he hugs me. "Can you promise me that?" I ask Alik with tears in my eyes. "I promise" he answers.

     After a long night I go to bed and get ready for the train ride which is in two days. I try sleeping but I have a horrible nightmare: the Dark Lord's army is in Hogwarts and they're killing everyone. I search for my wand and when I find it I can see that I have the dark mark. But I still try to help the students. When I see Bellatrix fighting Ginny I start running towards them to help Ginny out but she, my bestfriend falls on the floor. I hear a sound coming from the other way so I look there and see George getting cornered by two death eaters. And then I see Draco coming I think that it's all going to be okay, he'll help me but he uses the killing curse on Luna. I can't believe my eyes. I start screaming and start throwing curses at him out of anger to make him stop. Then I wake up. This can't happen, it was just a nightmare, it won't happen I try calming myself down. 

     It's the first day after winter break which means it's time to go back to Hogwarts. I drag my stuff down the stairs and I can already hear my brother shouting "Do you want something for breakfast?" he asks. "No, I'm fine thank you" I answer and as I get down the stairs I can see my brother cooking in the kitchen. "What are you doing?" I look at him weirdly. "I'm running a marathon what does it look like I'm doing?" he jokes, I giggle and ask "Can we just go?" he turns around "But I didn't finish your breakfast.." he says sadly. "I'm fine, really." I assure him. "Fiine, let's go" he accepts and grabs my luggage then puts his hand on my shoulder and we apparate. We arrive to the Hogwarts express where there's dozens of students saying goodbye to their parents and greeting their friends. "Thanks" I turn to Alik "Take care of yourself, please" I say to him worried. "You too sis!" he hugs me with one hand. I wave bye to him as I get on the train. I can see the Weasleys on the platform, George even glances at me but I don't go to up them I just hastily get on the train. I reach the slytherin section and find Blaise and Draco in the same spot we usually sit at. I take a seat next to Dray and give him a quick kiss. "Back together I see" Blaise notes. "So no more pretending you're together, this time it's for real, right?" he tries to get us to fight but fails because Dray just looks at me and says "It's always been real" which makes me smile but Blaise scoffs because he couldn't turn us against each other. When I look out the window I can see Fred, George, Ron and Harry chatting and smiling as they come up to the train. I shouldn't talk to them I think to myself, because I want to protect them even if that means they'll hate me at least they'll be safe.
