They used to date in sixth year, but things got messy when he left with Snape and the Death Eaters. I'll soon have OC bios on my profile. Questions, comments, or concerns?

Chapter 1

Rachel rolled over onto Draco who was still asleep.

"Draco," she sang softly. He did not move. Rachel brushed his hair back and kissed his cheek. It had been a few months since they had gotten together again, and each had expressed how they couldn't live without the other. Rachel called him again, but a bit louder this time. Draco groaned and attempted to roll over, but found he was stuck. He opened his eyes sleepily and found her on top of him.

"Hello. Can I help you?"

"Well, you and I both have things to do today, and I have to leave in a few hours. I thought I'd wake you up too."

"Hmmm," Draco said, closing his eyes again. "I think we should just cancel our plans and spend the day here."

Rachel smiled. As much as she would have liked to, she had been planning this visit for a few weeks. The Greengrass' had been a family acquaintance since Rachel could remember. Recently, Astoria had asked if they could have lunch together- to catch up. "we can't. You have to see your parents and I have a lunch to get to." She kissed him lightly and crawled out of bed.

Draco sat up, looking a bit put off. He was worried about seeing his parents. He couldn't believe that a month was left. Draco had yet to tell Rachel, or refuse his parents for that matter. He would have to decide soon though. At least Rachel wasn't going with him to see his parents.

Rachel had gotten dressed by the time he finally got out of their bed. She wore jeans with a black button down shirt and sandals. She grabbed her bag and jacket off a chair in the room and went to kiss him. He returned her affection half-heartedly, making her pause.

"what's wrong?"

"nothing, Rachel. Go have fun with your friend."

Rachel put her bag down. She knew the look he wore now. It was the same he had worn when he told her not to worry about him in sixth year. Right before he left. Before Dumbledore had died.

"no way, you are not getting away with this. What's bothering you? Do you want me to go with you today?"

"No." Draco replied, a little to quickly.

Rachel was clearly worried. Wanting to put her at ease, he kissed her forehead. "go have fun Rachel. I'll be fine."

"promise you'll get me if you need me," Rachel told him as she wrote down the restaurant she would be eating at.

Taking the paper, he caught her lips with his. She kissed him back with enough force to let him know she meant it. She didn't want him to think that this lunch was too important for him to find her if she was needed.

Draco pulled back and smiled at Rachel. She returned the smile and, grabbing her bag, disapparated.
