As the World Caves In

kiss from a rose

   I couldn't risk Dray going out alone to work on his mission, he might get caught. So naturally I went after him but kept my distance making sure he wouldn't notice me. Noo Filch captured him this is not good. A couple minutes later Snape and Draco come out of Slughorn's office. He should be fine then but I realize that Harry leaves the party too. I look at him confused is he still on that theory about Draco having something to do with Katie and the necklace. I mean he's not wrong but he should just give up, trying to pin point every little mischief to Draco. He goes up to every door and listens in until he finds the right one, where Dray and the professor are talking. Okay this is not good... I grab my wand and use a spell to make him think that the door is about to open. Fortunately it works because he goes back to the party. A couple seconds pass and Draco rushes out of the room. He instantly notices me when he steps outside so he quickly comes up to me and drags me away "What are you doing here?" he whispers angrily. "I didn't want you to get in trouble.." I answer timidly. "I can deal with it! We should hurry back to the dungeons. I've had enough of professors today.." he says with a rather annoyed tone. "They could've caught you too!" he says as we hop on the couch that lies in our common room. "But they didn't!" I say cheerfully. "What did Snape want?" I ask worried. "Nothing much.. he doesn't believe that I can finish my mission so he wants to help. He also took the Unbreakable Vow to my mom... and my dad..well he's in prison." he responds and I'm shocked because of all the new information. I gently stroke his hand "Are you sure you wanna spend Christmas break at your place?" I ask concerned. "Maybe you and Narcissa could come over..." I offer shyly. "I'd like that" he smiles at me softly. I rest my head on his shoulder as I drift off to sleep.

      Next morning I wake up in the common room laying on the couch as Draco cuddles me. "Morning sleepyhead!"  he smirks at me then grabs my chin to kiss me. "You look happy today" I note as I sit up and realize that some people are already up or leaving the dungeons. I get embarassed because we slept on the couch but I quickly get that thought out of my head. "Fuck I probably should've asked my dad if you can come over" I sigh. "I guess we'll get an answer when we get to London" he says cheekily as he gets up and streches. We gather our stuff and exit the dungeons. As we walk to the platform holding hands we get weird looks from people and however used to that I am now it feels like they know we're planning something against our headmaster. I look over to Dray and he still looks like he's sick which makes me worried. His face is pale and there're purple bags under his eyes. "As soon as we get to our place we're gonna have a spa night" I turn to him with a smile on my face. "Great idea love" he blushes.

        We get to London and get off the train. "Hey dad" I greet my father as I'm holding Dray's hand tightly. "Ready to go daughter?" he asks emotionless, he isn't in good shape either. There's an angry epression on his face beside looking sick. "Actually could Draco and her mother spend the winter break with us?" I ask shyly. He thinks for a minute, looks Dray up and down threateningly. "It's the least we could do for them" he responds finally and to my surprise he agrees. My boyfriend looks relieved "Now shall we?" father asks with an evil smile on his face as he grabs Draco firmly by his neck. "Narcissa! Great to see you" my father greets her as Draco's mother joines us. "Tom! Thank you for having us over" Narcissa says. We apparate to our mansion "You can stay in the guestrooms!" my father turns to our guests as we enter the front door. "And I advise you to" he adds as he leans closer to Draco and whispers it to him then pats his back roughly. My dad and his mother go into the study to chat so Draco and I go up to my room. "I feel like your dad doesn't like me.." he says to me sadly. "I know the feeling" I softly giggle as we unpack our luggages. "But! Time for our spa day!" I turn to him excitedly as I squish his face and kiss him lovingly. "Is this part of it because I'd like it to be.." he grabs my neck and whispers. "Well you know spa day is all about you" I stroke his hair. I go and grab a face mask "Aaah I thought you weren't serious about that.." he pouts. "Oh come on Dray, selfcare!" I grab his shoulders and make him sit on a chair. "Fiine but you do it with me" he says as he fakes being angry then grabs me by my waist and makes me sit on his lap. I put the sheet mask on his face then grab another one for me "Let me put it on for you" he takes it. He struggles to hold back laughter when he looks at me with the mask on. "You're so childish" I chuckle at him which makes him burst out laughing.

       Norbey shows up around 6pm "Am I disturbing you Mistress?" he asks as he sees Draco and I singing with face masks on. I turn the music down "Oh no you're not. Draco this is Norbey" I introduce them to each other but neither of them are amused by seeing the other. "Your father says dinner is in 30 minutes" the elf says. "We'll be down there" I turn to him then the house elf nods and disappears. "I hope my dad won't go all crazy on you.." I'm concerned as I take Draco's face mask off. "You already look better though" I smile. "I most certainly feel better" he places his hand on my face and looks deeply into my eyes.

       We go down to the diner where our parents are already having a deep conversation. "Nice of you two to join us" my father says snobly. Draco pulls a chair out for me to sit "Thanks" I smile at him. "So.. I heard there was a girl who got sent to St. Mungo's Hospital did you have anything to do with it?" he asks agressively as he looks at me while cutting his steak. "I don't know what you're talking about" I look down and pour myself some water. "DON'T. Lie.. to me.." He lashes out furiously as he bangs his fist on the table. "We.. tried to get that necklace as a gift to Dumbledore.." I tell him the truth. "It was my idea" Draco chimes in quickly. I look at in awe he's defending me it makes my heart smile. "It wasn't her fault" he says as he grabs my hand. "Of course it wasn't her! She would have thought it over and carried it out more precisely not like you little-" he stands up to insult him more but Narcissa cuts him off "Don't you dare insult him! He's doing everything he can to finish the task and he has help!" she defends Dray as she raises her voice. Norbey brings more plates with delicious food on them and quietly puts them down. "Thank you" I say softly to him while our parents are arguing.
