astronomy tower

"You're really gonna go?" Emily says sitting down next to me on my bed.

"Shouldn't I at least let him explain" I let my long locks loose pulling out my hairband.

"ok but if he tries anything, will not hesitate to beat the living-

"ok ok, I know" I let out a giggle glancing at the clock.

"I should go" Emily nodded her head and gets up leaving my bed as I make my way out the door.

The dark cold Hogwarts air hits me when I enter the hallway. I quickly cling to my dark green sweater. Gosh, why is it always freezing?

I start walking to the astronomy tower trying to think why Draco wants to meet alone at such a deserted place, why couldn't we do this in our warm common room or something.

I finally get to the closed-off door and slowly open It in fear of teachers lurking. It's still almost pitch black until I see the shadow of stairs, so so many stairs.

Once I finally reach the top I'm out of breath and shuffle over to the cushion in the corner of the room and sit and wait. I still have like 5 min until he is supposed to be here but of course, I came early.

I let my mind flood with the possibility of what he will say to me.

I'm sorry

I'm a death eater btw

or I was just supposed to watch you for the dark lord lol.

My heart stings at that, I really hope that's not that case.

"Severa" my thoughts instantly froze at his voice, Gosh his voice. How is it even possible to get so jelly-like from someone's voice?

"hey," I say under my small breath while adjusting further away from him well he sat down next to me.

His eyes finally meet mine, he looks so tired. Apart from me just wants to take him into my arms and away from everything, and everyone. But a small part of me can't seem to wonder if any of this is real in the first place, or is it just happening inside my head.

"there's something I have to tell you," he says in a shaky tone, is he nervous?

"Okay," I let my eye trail up and down his body looking for any physical harm, cause. will end anyone who has put a figure on him.

Draco scooted closer to me and meet my eyes again. "I just didn't want to tell you cause I didn't want to lose you, Severa, I really didn't have a choice, I never have I choice, only with you" his hand sneaks up to mine and holds it.

"Draco, it's okay, you can tell me anything" I feel him pull away from my hand and up to his sleeve on his left forearm.

He takes a deep breath with glassy eyes and lifting the shirt slowly until I see it. The dark Mark.

Draco POV:

I study her face looking for the fear in her eyes, waiting for her to run from me, to be afraid of me like everyone else would. I was waiting for the pity and fear all at once the "I will ever talk to you again" the "your a monster" But she doesn't give any of that.

She grabs my arms lightly running her figures crossed the dark ink, that will be there forever. She brings my weak pale arm up to her lips and kisses everywhere the ink touches. I look at her in complete awe, I'm completely internally in love with this girl.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through this alone, but hey I'm here now, and I love you Draco" My mouth his agape at her reaction, she really is perfect for me.

"I love you, Severa," my mind rushes with doubts that this is even real, "but you don't understand no one can see us like this or else people will tell him"

She takes me in her arms while I rest my head on her shoulder inhaling her sweet calming smell of vanilla.

"Just because we can't be seen together doesn't mean we can't be together," She says in a small voice into my ear.

I let loose a smile and so does she as we stare into each others eyes.

"I'm so sorry Severa I never wanted this I never wanted to push you away, I've just wanted you"

"I'm sorry Draco I was so consumed in thoughts about myself when you have been going through this all alone" Hell how can one girl look so perfect.

Not being able to control me any longer a bring my hand up to the back of her neck and crush our lips together, and immediately she returns my kiss, no our kiss.

I feel us both smiling into the kiss, I feel like I'm walking on air with this girl, with my girl. As much as I hate Potter, I'm rooting for him and his dumb trio, not that I would ever admit that to anyone but is Severa is my prize at the end of this all, I will go through it all for her, and all with her.

She lets my tongue slip inside her mouth as I lay her down on the couch putting my body over hers. I feel her thighs wrap around my torso pulling me more into her body deepening our kiss.

I rake my hands around her small waist pulling our body together trying to keep my composer from not falling on top of her, cause gosh she's making me weak.

I feel her warm hands run down my chest to the hem of my shirt and lifting it with enough room to snake them under.

The second I feel her warm hands on my abs I don't care about the composer anymore. Our lips suck and pull at each other fighting in lust.

"hell Severa" I groan into our kiss.

I feel my pants get tighter as she brings her hands around under my shirt onto my bare back-scratching in lust.

I travel my lips down her neck leaving hickeys noticeable to the eye, I may not be able to claim her as mine in public, but my beautiful painting on her neck will. I can't help but smile at her neck as I hear her heavy breathing and hushed moans.

I was so relieved that she didn't run cause without her, id not know how I would be able to do any of this.

She wrapped her hand around my neck lifting me back to her soft strawberry lips that I love so much.

"love if we keep going, I won't be able to stop," I say in-breaths threw our eager kisses.

She breaks our kiss with a smile and a fake si of disappointment which makes me let out a chuckle peeling myself off of her and sitting back upright on the couch.

I meet her eyes and match our smiles while I run my figures trying to tame her messy hair, from our makeout. While she brings her hands to mine fixing it as well, as she was the one running her hands threw it in the first place.

"I love you," I say kissing her forehead and grabbing onto her hand pulling her off the couch.

"I love you," She says meeting my eyes with a smile.
