Peppermint

Love

Right when my feet hit the floor to Merlin Manor, i begin to sob. Thankfully before Draco had the time to turn around i remembered my grandfather made my necklace a port key to home.

I threw open the door to my Grandfather's study and ran at him and hugged him.

"there dead my parents" i sobbed into his chest.

"i know dear i know i was the first informed," He says shedding small tears himself as he did just lose his son.

"there's something you need to know." he says rubbing his hand through my hair. "hes back Severa, i felt his dark magic and I'm afraid it has caused me some damage in my health," he says in a quiet voice.

"no no please not you to you can't leave me alone Grandpa please please you cant i have no one," i say letting the tears stream down my face.

"when you take my magic i will be a very powerful thing and you might die during the transition but it must happen, my dear, i only have a little time left," he says with a sad face.

"Please please there must be a way," i say jumping off of him yelling.

"There is nothing we can do to change our time of going i don't know when but i feel like it will be soon," He says looking down.

I feel my tears return. As i run away up to my room slamming the door shut and immediately falling to the ground. My Grandfather is dying, I just saw my parent's bodies fall to the floor, i didn't even know if they loved me. I never got to tell them i loved them. I never got to tell my father how much i missed dancing in the rain with him.

I cried for what it felt like hours until i felt completely drained. I lay down on the floor looking up at the ceiling thinking about the word Love. They say it better to have loved and lost than to never love at all. But that's not true.

The pain, the soul-crushing pain feeling i get because i didn't even know if y own parents loved me is terrible. I would rather never have loved anything or anyone in my life. I love my grandpa so much and now he must leave me to. My heart sinks, even more, when the thought of love leads me to the thought of the silver eyes of Draco Malfoy. I didn't even realize the risk he took running down to me shaking me awake. He truly cared, about me over all his friends or reputation. maybe no one saw him but know his friends would have who were sitting with him.

And that's still a huge step for him to me. In that instant, i knew i was in love with Draco Malfoy. But the thought of love ever working out for me making me laugh. My parents my grandfather are leaving because I loved them. So no i cannot love Draco Malfoy.

Draco POV

I walk back to my dorm nervous and shaking. They told me she went to her house, but i just feel like she needs me, hell i need her. i want to hold her, hug her, make sure she's okay.

Images of her lifeless body flash through my head, she scared me out of my mind. I couldn't think about anything else, not about what people would think, not about how much trouble i would get in for practically pushing those teachers to the ground to get to her. The only thing that was on my mind was her, And that's when i realized, Blaise was right I'm head over heels in love with Severa Merlin and I want it to completely consume me.

i walk into the common room and feel no eyes on me, Apparently, the only one who knew i went down to Severa was Blaise and Emily, Of course, everyone was to focused on Cedric. But honestly, i wouldn't change a thing i did even if the whole blood school was watching me, She's my girl and i will do whatever the hell needed to be to keep her.

Gosh, i miss her so much. I just want her. Why have i even been ignoring her? After that stupid project, we did all i wanted to do was tell her. Tell her what I've been feeling this whole time. That i think I'm in love with her.

I have never loved like this before, We had barley spent that much time together in the past month, but in her absence is when i realized how much i miss her, and how much i need her. She makes me happy, She makes me not alone.
