My Draco

going home

Draco Pov

I watched her as she fell asleep in my arms.

She was so tiny and frail since the last time I saw her, I've beaten myself up since for it.

I regretted everything from the moment I left her in her room to fend for herself. But I had no other choice but to do so.

All that mattered to me was that she was doing better and she was safe. I wish I could protect her from the world and all the bad in it but that was inevitable seeing who we worked for.

I didn't want her to work on this stupid cabinet with me but I guess she had a point. If the dark lord found out she wasn't doing as he ordered, then she was destined to be banished.

I've always felt overly protective of her from the moment we watched the stars together but ever so more after her attempt in the lake. I wanted to keep her close at all times and that's what I will do from here and on.

She opened up another side of me that I never knew I had and a new sense of emotions I never knew I was capable of feeling.

I didn't want to fall in love or want to need someone, be completely devoted, or dependent on someone until she walked into my life and changed all that for the best.

I knew it was her when she was the only one that could bring me out of my dark places, even though we bickered here and there we always found our way back to each other. I knew it was her when my world started to revolve around her and everything I did was for her.

I wish she could stay here in my arms forever but that wasn't an option. We worked for the dark lord himself and as long as we do so, nothing was promised and we could be surprised with something new at any given moment.

My only fear is that she would be taken from me. She was my only source of happiness and only person I truly had a deep caring for. If she was no longer in my life, I don't think I could walk this earth if she wasn't on it. Thinking about it made my head hurt.

I brushed my fingers through he soft silky brown hair and watched as she slept peacefully.

I knew the next few nights would be the only full nights of sleep we would get. This cabinet that we needed repair was going to be a lot of work.

I have found time during the day to test some charms on it and so far nothing has worked so I knew this was going to take a lot of time and strength.

I made sure that Tessa was in a deep sleep before falling asleep myself.

I woke up in his arms the next morning. I was so warm and comfortable, I wanted to stay here forever. Maybe one day that could happen.

Draco was still knocked out cold, I got up from bed and began to get ready for the day. As I was in the bathroom, touching up my hair, I heard Draco awaken.

He came into the bathroom and kissed the back of my head and then did his business.

"I'll see you in an hour." I yelled out to him before heading out the door.

As I left his dorm, I just so happened to run into Pansy who was leaving the girls dorm side.

"What are you doing in the boys section?" She sassily asks me.

"I don't think that's any of your business Parkinson." I calmly say walking down to the common room as she followed behind me.

"Y'know Stormont, I don't think Snape will like to know that your staying in his room." She threatens.
