The moon is shining brightly over the lake near Hagrids hut and I wait in the shadows for Draco, No-one is allowed out after curfew but it's the only time we can meet and just relax. It's five to seven and we normally meet around now every Monday and Friday.
It's been about two months since Draco asked me to be with him and we still both feel the same spark we did the day we met outside the menagerie but every time I look at him I feel like I'm constantly lying to him, When I go to train I make up some bullshit story to get away from him and I can't do it any more. I won't tell him everything, Not the part about Nyx being my mother or that I'm destined to rule the world one day no that's too much he might feel intimidated. What I will tell him is that I'm a guardian who can control water and fire, Draco is the first step then tomorrow I'll tell the school.
No matter how much I don't want to tell anyone anything I must, Ever since that day with Pansy rumours have been flying out of control someone even said I was working for you-know-who and that he gave me power to take over. Also People keep bothering Hermione, Harry and Ron to see if they know anything and even though they say they don't mind it must be getting annoying by now. I sit down on a large rock and start to draw hearts out of the lake water, Where is he? It's got to be after Nine and we normally meet at half eight. Just as I go to get up I hear footsteps and Draco appears from the trees.
''Bout time you showed up.'' I say and put my hand on my hip.
''Wow...You look beautiful.'' He smiles as he examines me closely.
I'm wearing a chiffon Flowing white shirt that goes in at my waist with plain black leggings and my flat black spartan sandles. My hair is down with it's natural wave and my makeup is A nude pink lipstick and cat eyeliner. He's dressed in his usual smart black suit and his hair perfectly styled untouched by the wind.
''You say that everytime you see me.'' I blush and smile back to him as he walks towards me.
''Well you are beautiful, you have to be to be mine.''He spins me around and plants a gentle kiss on my lips.
''I guess I do have to match up to your good looks huh.''
''You know it.''
We sit on the log right near the lakefront and he puts his arm around me. I begin twiddling my thumbs, how do I start?
''What is it?'' He asks obviously noticing my puzzled expression.
Here goes nothing I guess.
''Well you're going to think I'm insane and weird.''
''Liz you've seen what my life is like outside school, You can't weird me out.''
A stinging pain hurts my heart as I remember back to seeing you-know-who tell Draco he's going to be a Death eater.
''Yeah...Well mines still pretty weird.''
''Just tell me.'' He says sounding irritated.
''Alright alright, You know all that weird stuff that happened between me and pansy? when I nearly you know.''
''Killed her?''
''Yeah that, How can you seem so calm about it?''
''I'm a Malfoy I've seen a lot of shit I shouldn't have.'' He shrugs it off.
''Well all these rumors have been flying about and I just want to tell you what's true and what isn't.''
He nods and turns to face me fully.
''I'm not part of you-know-who's army but you already knew that, What I am is a guardian. I can control two elements water and fire, I found that out the day before I hurt pansy so I couldn't control them properly back then.''
''But you can now?''
''Water I can one hundred percent fire I'm still working on with Hermione and Harry.''
''Potter knew about this before me?!'' His eyes narrow.
''I didn't have a choice I needed help and we weren't exactly close back then.''
''Not the point you should have told me sooner.''
''And what risk you telling everyone! I wasn't sure we were meant to be together a few months back Draco.''
''I'd never do that to you! Ever!.''
''I know that now silly but I didn't back then.''
He takes a deep breath calming himself down, I hate his short temper but what can I expect dating someone like Draco.
''Yeah you're right, Who else knows?''
''Ginny, Ron, Hagrid and soon the whole school will too.''
''Are you sure you want to do that?''
''Everyone keeps talking about me and I'm sick of it, It's best just to let them know the truth and to stop all this bullshit.'' I sigh and he grabs my hand.
''You know the press will find out and the ministry will need to know about it too.''
''Yeah...Hermione already told me all this, I'll make the announcement tomorrow morning Dumbledore's going to call me to the front of the hall. I'm so scared Draco I need you here for me more than ever.''
''If anyone says anything they shouldn't you know I'll-.''
''That's not what I mean, I mean if I need to rant or vent to you then you just listen.''
''Okay I'll try my best, I l-Like you Lizzie.''
''I like you too Draco.'' I kiss him deeply and he wraps his arms around me.
We agree to meet in the clock tower after my speech as the first lesson is only muggle studies and head back to the common room to say goodnight.
