Lie To Me

Part 50

Kit King
I wished the summer could go on forever.
But the disaster at the wedding proved that the days in the sun and the late evenings had to come to an end.
In the days I spent with the Weasleys I almost forgot about my parents and the impending danger that would arise when we had to go back to Hogwarts.
And Draco.
He hadn't send me any letters over the summer so I only assumed that he felt it too dangerous. I didn't want to assume that he just didn't want to talk to me, though it was a possibility.
I didn't want to go back.
I didn't want to be in any more danger.
I didn't want to feel afraid anymore.

But on the train things felt different.
Many compartments were silent.
There was almost no joy.
There wasn't the usual first years running up and down.
No one was smiling or greeting their friends in the usual fashion.
That was except for the Slytherin areas of the train.
They knew that they weren't in as much danger as everyone else.
Snape was headmaster.
And of course he and the death eaters wouldn't punish Slytherins.
The potential heirs of darkness.
But I didn't have that luxury.
I knew that there would be death eaters there who would make my life a living hell.
The only hope I had was Snape.
He was a family friend and had never hurt me.

I felt safe as soon as i reached the Slytherin dorms.
To my surprise I had been made the female prefect for the house and got my own room which I was happy about.
It was my safe space in this castle.
It was a knock at the door that made me question how safe it was.
I wrapped my cardigan closer to my body and slowly opened the door.
The flash of blonde was the first thing that caught my attention.
"Draco."
"Kit."
"Come in." I said and moved out of the way.
He entered quickly and I closed the door before turning to him.
As soon as I turned I was pulled into his chest and his arms were wrapped tightly around me.
"God I'm glad you're ok." He whispered and I sighed as I took in the scent of his cologne.
But I wriggled out of his grasp and stood before him with my arms folded.
"You never wrote to me Draco." I said and he ran a hand through his hair.
"Do you think I could write to you? Kit, half the death eaters thought you should have been killed with Dumbledore for betraying them. The only one who saw reason was Snape." He said and my heart sank knowing that there were so many bad people who wanted me dead.
"Oh."
"A letter would have led them straight to you Kit. But I wanted to write. I did. But it was too risky." He said and I nodded.

He walked over to my bed and made himself comfortable before patting the space next to him. I shook my head and rolled my eyes but still made my way over to him.
I clambered onto the bed and sat beside him, he placed his hand quickly on my thigh and I involuntarily took a sharp intake of breath.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"I missed you." He said quietly and I turned my head to face him.
"Really?"
"Of course I did. You were all I could think about. Then again all I could think about was whether you and Fred would get together." Draco said and I couldn't help but giggle as he rolled his eyes and sneered.
"So it was jealousy not love." I laughed.
"Well did you do anything with him?"
"Yes."
"Kit! I-"
"We played quidditch and went for walks and talked."
"Oh. Nothing, you know?"
"What? Say it.
"Sexually."
"No. No we didn't have sex." I laughed and Draco rolled his eyes again.
"Well then. Come here."
My palms started to sweat a little as he grinned and his eyes flashed darker with lust.
I bit my lip and straddled his hips.
His hands went under my shirt and placed on my waist as I gently placed my lips to his.
It was a welcome feeling as the familiar chill of pleasure ran down my spine as our lips moved together.

It wasn't long before both of us were breathing heavily under the sheets, bodies intertwined together.
Draco's arms were wrapped around me and I had my head on his chest, lightly drawing patterns on his stomach.
A small candle stayed lit in the corner and the moonlight gave the large room an eerie yet romantic feel.
"Draco?" I said quietly.
"Hm?"
"Theres people here now that want to kill me. And outside of these four walls I'm not safe. But you'll stay beside me won't you?" I said and he took my hand in his.
"I will always have your back Kit. And I promise to protect you. You'll always be by my side."
"We might have different classes."
"No. I asked Snape to ensure we would be together so I could protect you." He said and I blushed.
"Thank you."
"Kit?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you." He whispered and my heart stopped.
My mind raced, deciding on whether I loved him or not but there was no real question about it.
"I love you too."
