I don't own Harry or Potter. J.K and Rowling owns it.

Title : Let Her Go

Chapter 1.

Happiness isn't a Malfoy thing. It's something only weak people feel. But it's what Draco felt when he met her. She makes him wake up in the morning with a refreshing and wonderful feeling. She makes him go to work with an actual smile on his face. She makes the hardest thing in his life easy and most of all she makes life precious to him. He didn't want to believe it at first but it just happened and now he cannot stop or control himself. He knows that it has been said too many times that the Malfoys don't believe in love. They are heartless soulless people. They don't care about anyone but themselves. They are the epitome of everything evil. It's the reason why they have become powerful, successful and famous people in the wizardry world. But Draco Malfoy didn't care about that, it didn't matter to him after all he was a man inlove.

In all his school years she was never the woman inside his mind. Well its' not like he did have any particular woman in his mind at that time. But that's not the point here. Let's forget about women in his head, lets' go back to her. It's true that he saw her every day, talk to her sometimes and also partnered up in class projects but she was only a friend to him, well not friend, lets' just say she was one of his followers. Well, let's not say that too, lets' just say "she was always there around him" She was this person that agrees to everything he says and does. If he had known that one day he will go crazy inlove with her, he would've never ignored or took her for granted.

It has been four years since the end of Lord Voldermort, four years since the boy who lived and still living killed the Dark Lord. Four years and still Potters face refuses to leave the news. He's everywhere, opening new buildings, giving speeches, catching bad guys and even going on a date. Who wants to know about that. But lets' not talk about Potter.

It was one of their family's pureblood only party that he saw her again. Well, the Malfoys' don't know that many half bloods and muggleborn families so they still only invited pureblood families. They are not against blood impurity; its' just that many halfbloods and muggleborns still don't like the Malfoys, but that's not the point here. She came with her parents to the party, the last he thing he heard about her was that her parents decided to move to wizardry America to open up a new financing business after the ministry pardoned them from Azkaban. Potter did the same to them, the Zabinis' and many others too. Okay, not Potter again. She didn't come to say goodbye to him when her family left but that didn't matter to him during that time, she was never somebody important to him. If only he knew that she will grow up to be such an amazing person he would've stopped her from leaving, he would've begged her to stay with him, he would've asked her to marry him or whatever just so she will stayed. But that's all too late now, time has passed, she did move away, he didn't stop her and now he was being punished for it.

It was at that very party that everything happened, she was wearing a boatneck twist dress, contrasting silvery gold with dramatic black, the dress goes all the way down covering any signed of her legs while all her hair was pinned up loosely with some strands falling on her shoulder. She was breathtakingly beautiful to him that night. He can tell that she wasn't dress to impress but to him, he was more than impressed, she was the life of the party. He saw her standing beside her father and some group of men, he can tell she was really concentrating to what they were saying. A few times a smile graces her lovely face, and a few too many times the men could not stopped staring and gaping at her. He just wanted to chase them all out and let only him do the staring and gaping. He saw her father whispered something into her ear and she gave him a small nod, then she slowly turned her head and started scanning the ball room, as if she was looking for someone, probably her mother, he saw her head stopped a little when she caught sight of his mother having a conversation with a group of women, Merlin knows on what, then she continued looking around the ballroom when something suddenly caught her sight, she stopped and then he noticed she was looking straight at him. He was so caught up with shock that he didn't have time to look away. He would've jumped behind the big pole beside him that time if it wasn't too late. He has this theory that staring is good as long as you don't get caught. Now he was thinking, that staring is a completely disgraceful thing to do. He was so embarrassed that he started to move away from where he was standing but then the strangest thing happened, she gave him a small smile then she slowly lifted up her right hand and gave him a friendly wave. He was so dumbfounded that he just stood there and continued staring.

He was never this weak in school, girls are usually the ones caught staring at him. Not him, he was the one girls go crazy for when they see his famous smirk. He saw her slowly turned back to the group of people she was with and whispered something to her father, both her and her father looked his way and her father gave him a smile and waved too, he was still embarrassed by what he did but quickly let it slide and he waved back with a smile to the man. Then all of a sudden he noticed someone behind him moving forward, he turned his head and saw her mother walking towards her smiling husband and child, she too had a smile on her face, her husband extended his hand towards her and she took it, the daughter leaned forward and gave her mother a peck on the cheek. He continued staring while the mother was being introduced to the group of people. By that time no one was looking his way anymore and all he wanted to do was to disappear. He gobbled down two glasses of wine and turned around and started walking towards the exit when he heard footsteps behind him. He stopped, turned around and was caught completely off guard, because there in front of him was her and she was smiling at him, this time he was for sure that she was smiling at him. He raised an eyebrow at her, wanting her to get whatever she wants to say so he can leave, not wanting to be there for a single more minute. Then she took a step towards him and held out her hand. He looked at her and she was still smiling at him.

"Hello Draco" she said, her eyes mocking him, he knew for sure that she saw him waving and smiling at her and her father. Now he was completely red face but refuses to give in to his embarrassment, he slowly stretched out his hand and gently held hers.

His lips twisted and formed his famous smirk, he then said "Fancy seeing you again Pansy"

She continued smiling at him and all he was thinking while holding her hand was that he will never let her go.
