***PREVIEW*** ~~~~ A moan escaped her, and he abruptly ended the passionate moment. He pulled away, leaning his forehead on hers, their heavy breaths mixing in the space between them. Malfoy's thumb caressed Dahlia's cheek, and her eyes fluttered open to meet his. "You aren't expendable to me," Draco hissed forcefully. "Do you understand?" Dahlia couldn't form words. She tried, but none came so instead she nodded. "Words, Dumbledore, use your words." Hissing at the use of her surname, she looked up at him and snarled, "Understood, Malfoy." He didn't seem put off by her anger. Rather, he seemed pleased with himself. He gave a nod to her, and then locked eyes with Harry for half a second. The boys seemed to have a silent, nonverbal conversation before Potter inclined his head to the Slytherin, who did the same. Then the blonde boy disappeared through the flap of the tent. ~~~~~~~~ Dahlia Dumbledore is a young girl with a confusing past.

"So, take me." I urged. I was craving him again, everything about him started a fire inside me, pushing my emotions into overdrive. "I want it to be different this time-" he started. "I want to make love to you." And then he began kissing me again, open mouthed, soft lipped kissing me. At first, I was nervous, almost like it was my first time, it sort of felt like it was. ----------------------------- DRACOS POV "Do you love her?" He hissed, slamming me against the siding of the manor again. "Well, do you?" "Yes, more than anything." "Then trust me when I say this is the only way the girl will survive." He continued. "You cannot go with her, he can find you." "I can't- I can't let her leave with him." I pleaded. "She will die otherwise!" "There isn't any other option?" I begged. ---------------------------- RANKINGS: #1 in #Malfoy 12/2020 #1 in #halfbloodprince 01/2021 #2 in #Triwizardtournament 01/2021 #20 in Draco 12/2020 #1 in #halfblood 01/2021 #143 in Fanfiction 02/2021
