"oh my god, y/n! why don't you get it!" draco snaps at you.
you were walking into the great hall when you saw draco and pansy getting really touchy. well, more like pansy was getting really touchy with draco, but draco wasn't doing anything to stop her. she was about halfway into his lap when draco noticed you watching this all come undone in the entrance to the great hall. you both made eye contact and you could immediately see the regret in his eyes. you turn away and start running towards your common room. draco then pushes pansy off of him and runs after you. you were now both arguing in your common room, he is sitting on the couch while you're staring out the window. draco has been very distant lately too. he hasn't been as loving as he normally is.
"maybe because you weren't doing anything! you were just letting her hang all over you!" you yell back. you knew that draco loved you but you didn't know why he was just allowing pansy to just throw herself on him. maybe he was falling out of love.
"i was just distracted! i barely even noticed she was there." he says running a hand over his face.
"by what?! you were sitting in the great hall, in the same same spot you always do, by the same people, and we're in most of the same classes and there's nothing pressing going on in them. so please enlighten me." you say staring at the darkness just behind the glass.
"i can't tell you." he says just louder than a whisper.
"wow. really. that's just lovely. first you wouldn't even talk to me, but now you don't trust me?" you say tears starting to fill your eyes.
draco stays silent just staring at you. you can feel his gaze burning into the back of your head but you can't bring yourself to look at him because if you do you'll just break down.
"draco, do you even love me anymore? are you in love with pansy? please just tell me." you say wiping the tears from your eyes.
"baby, of course i do. and i am definitely not in love with pansy. i'm just scared." he says staring down at his hands .
"of what draco?" you say turning your head, " you can talk to me. please."
"if i tell you, you won't love me anymore, you won't want to be with me anymore. you're the only good thing i have right now and i can't lose you. i can't, i can't-" he says now sobbing while running his hands through his hair.
"hey, hey, hey." you say running over to him. you kneel down in front of him and take his hands out of his hair and place them in your own forcing draco to look into your eyes. "there isn't anything you could tell me that would make me fall out of love with you. draco, i'm in love with you and i'm here for you no matter what."
"okay, okay. promise?" he says looking at you with teary eyes.
"promise." you assure him.
"i'm one of them." he says with no emotion.
"of them? who?" you say still looking into his eyes.
"the death eaters." he says taking his hands out of yours. draco rolls up his left sleeve to reveal the mark that is stained onto his pale skin. once the entirety of the mark is revealed you take in a sharp breath and delicately trace over the mark.
"draco. how?" you say in a concerning tone.
"they chose me. i had no choice. he gave me no choice. he'd kill me if i didn't." he sobs
"oh baby." you say getting up from the ground to embrace him. you pull his sleeve down and wrap your hand around his forearm. he buried his head into the crook of your neck and completely broke down. you hold him and feel the collar of your uniform start to get wet with his tears as he sobs into your neck.
"i'm sorry. i'm sorry. sorry. sor-" draco's words are interrupted by a sob. you felt his whole body shake with every breath he exhaled.
"love, you have nothing to be sorry for." you assure him. he wraps his arms around you, squeezing you tightly like you could disappear any second.
"but bu-" you cut him off by shushing him while you brush your fingers through his hair. you rock him like a baby until his breathing slows and he calms down. draco slowly pulls his head out of the crook of your neck and looks at you like all of the happiness has been drained out of his life.
"i'm not going anywhere. i promise. draco, i don't care what is printed on your arm, you're no death eater. you're a good person. i know you are. we will figure this out. we can do this." you stare into his eyes. you grab his hand and kiss his knuckles one by one attempting to comfort him more.
"let's run away. let's get out of here. tonight." draco says shooting up off the couch and out of your grip,
"draco," you begin, "i don't think that's a solution. he'll find us."
"no he won't. and even if he does, well i don't know. we could go anywhere. hey, if you could be anywhere, where would you be? we'll go there." draco says pacing throughout the common room.
"um i don't know? i've always wanted to visit america." you say laughing because he looks completely mental pacing and laughing to himself.
"well what are you waiting for go pack your trunk!" he says using both of his arms to point to the stairs.
"draco, you can't be serious. i mean everything we know is here. where would we even go, start?" you say trying to reason with him.
"you're the only thing i need. you're my start." he says throwing his hands on either side of his head.
"draco." you say with wide eyes.
"what! what." he says beginning to flip out.
"your arm! the mark where is it?" you basically scream.
"what, how?" he says looking down at his now clean arm.
"that's actually impossible. that's not supposed to happen." you say.
"uh, you don't think i know that. wait, this is good right?"
"um i think so, i mean it's gone!" you say smiling.
"it's gone." he says looking at you returning your smile. draco then runs over to you and picks up up, spinning you in circles. he sets you down on the ground and peppers kisses all over your face. "well let's go to america anyway, love."
"let's go to america." you say shaking your head
little did both of you know the only thing that could take away a dark was pure love. that's the reason it was considered impossible to get rid of. voldemort never knew love so he didn't know how to keep a dark mark on someone who was surrounded by something that he didn't know existed.
