My Draco

"TESSA!" I hear a male voice say from a far.

I began to wake, my body shivering, and unaware of my surrounding. My eye-lashes faintly batting against my lids as I blinked. My muscles felt weak, just like my energy.

How long have I been unconscious?

Everything was foggy. I blink, close my eyes, and blink again to make my vision clear.

I see the beautiful blonde hair boy hovering over me.

I aggressively blink a few more times to make sure i'm seeing correctly.

He sits me up ever so gently. I look behind him, gandering at Lucius and Narcissa. Both their facial
expressions were hard to read.

My eyes find there way back to the grey familiar eyes of the boy I loved.

"You." I whisper as my trembling hands found there way to my face.

Warm tears uncontrollably traveled down my blushed cheeks.

He pulled me close to his warm chest and I felt whole again.

After embracing his warm touch for a few moments, I pull away from him after the relief fades into anger once again.

"Why would you do that you arrogant asshole!" I yell while pulling myself up onto both feet.

"Tessa, please don't get angry, I just wanted to keep you safe." his hand reaching out to me.

"No! Don't tell me how to feel because if I lost you-" My voice breaks off as the last few words emit from my mouth.

He steps closer to me, I back up and watch as Narcissa and Lucius walk away into another room.

"You didn't loose me though, i'm okay." He says as he fixes his eyes on the shattered windows and broken vases around the room.

"What happened in here?"

"You happened! I didn't know if I was ever going to see you again so I lost it! You don't understand that if you were to die, then I would be alone. I need you in my life!" I say through my tears.

I let him pull me into a hug finally. He holds me tight while holding my head against him. I hear the faint echo of his beating heart which made my nerves become at ease.

"Tessa, I fucking brought you here so I didn't have to risk losing you. Of course I understand." He whispers, his fingers interweaving in my hair.

"I love you so much." Is all I could say to him with my head buried into his chest.

"I love you." He tells me back. After a moment of silence I hear his heart begin to speed up a pace.

"Tessa, I need to talk to you." He pulls away.

My heart sinks into my stomach when I think of my parents and realize how they weren't here.

He grabs my hand and pulls me into the formal sitting area.

Dozens of thoughts seaming through my brain were about to overcome my body. Once again I felt weak.

I take a seat slowly onto the couch while looking at him.

"My parents are dead aren't they?" I ask.

"No, you parents are okay. They went home and are coming here shortly." He tells me.

I'm finally able to breathe.

"What is it then?" I ask.

"Snape." He softly says in a saddened tone while reaching for something in his pocket.

He rummages his hand around his left pocket, then switches to his right one. He  pulls out a folded parchment and hands it to me.  I can sense the devastation in his motions.

I gently grab the letter out of his hands.

Unfolding the parchment, I began to read:

Your father never did much for you so I wanted to take his place into my own hands. I watched over you from when you were so little until our last minutes together. Who
would of thought those would of been our lasts. 
I get to die peacefully now, knowing you're out of harms way. I just wanted to protect you from everything and so I tried my best. I am not here to look after you anymore but I will count on Draco for that. Although I never showed it, I loved you like my own daughter. The daughter I never had. I had once loved for someone deeply but they were taken from me. I never thought I was capable of loving someone else until I was assigned to be your godfather. It meant nothing to me at first until you showed me I could love again but in a different way.  Tessa, do not let that mark that we share on our arm define who you are.
Yours Truly,
Severus

I held the note in my hand and looked it through over and over again in complete shock. I held it to my chest in disbelief. I was so selfish to only worry about Draco dying that I didn't even think of anyone else that could of.

I never realized how much Snape did for me. He never showed much emotion but he has a heart. I replayed certain memories back through my mind and realized how much Snape tried to protect me from the evil over the years. I was lucky to have had the time I did with him.

I was dried out of tears at this point and just felt broken. Every thought in my mind was silenced into denial and grief.

Draco pulled me into his arms tightly.

"What about Voldemort?" My shaky voice asks him.

"Harry killed him."

A smile came over my face. With just those three words, everything felt at peace again knowing the dark lord was gone.

I had hopes Harry would win.

I looked at Draco who had half a grin on his face. He didn't know what emotion to show right now.

I pulled him into a kiss. A kiss I wanted to last forever.

Draco and I could finally be at peace together. Just the two of us.

"Wait." I tell him as I get up from the couch and look around the room.

My eyes scan around the room and finally spot the desk placed in the corner of the room. I hurry over to it and pull out one of the drawers. I find a parchment and a quill with ink.

I had just remembered I never got to write a letter that Professor Binns assigned to us about that person that changed my life. For some reason, right now felt like the perfect moment to write it.

I sat down at the black mahogany desk and gradually glanced over at Draco who looked confused. Just looking at him made everything feel complete.

And so I dipped the quill in the ink and began to write:

Dear Draco,

Love is a curious thing. You can find it in the most unlikely of places and I happened to find it under the stars that night in the Astronomy Tower. I knew it was always going to be you when you broke the walls I had put up. When I finally learned to love someone. We found eachother in this crazy and messed up fucking world because we belong together. We belong in eachothers arms, and we are connected by more than love, by more than commitment, by more than fate itself but by the simplest reason that your presence is the only thing I will ever truly want. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created.
So Draco, thank you for being you.
You saved my life, everyday, every breathe I take, is because of you. I was so broken, I wanted nothing to do with life, you put the color back into my black and white world, you let me know I was safe, I finally knew I didn't have to suffer anymore, you taught me to love myself.
You are my happiness.
You are my light.
You are my Draco.

The End.
