Ok, you're coming around in the middle of our story, our love, so I'll back this thing up a little. The night Draco and I first got onto Platform 9 ¾, he passed me on the train, and looked back at me like he saw an angel. The entire train ride I was constantly sneaking looks at him through the glass. I'd heard about his family; I didn't care. He was like game of chess that you can't look away from, even for a second, or your opponent might snatch the victory right from under your ass.
Anyway, once we got to Hogwarts, I stood in line with him for the Sorting Hat to tell us our futures. I thought my ass was grass and the Hat would mow it. I wanted so badly to be in Slytherin with Draco, I knew he'd be put there, and sure enough, that was where he sat. I went up on that stool, sat there, and waited for the inevitable "Gryffindor!" that I thought was sure to come…but it didn't.
"Another one with a whole family from Gryffindor huh?" the hat said.
"Yes..." I whispered.
"But," the hat cautioned, "it seems you have a desire…in your heart…for the love of the boy I just placed…in Slytherin."
"Yes," I said again.
"Slytherin!" shouted the Hat.
The whole of the Great Hall fell silent. Jaws dropped to the floor and eyes widened as big as the Black Lake. I opened my eyes, and walked to the Slytherin table, sat down, and closed my eyes again. Someone's foot touched mine. My green eyes met Draco's grey ones and we shared a smile. My heart flew right through the night-sky ceiling. If there was ever a time I blushed, it was then. And my face got hot… and oh yeah, he noticed.
I never imagined he'd be looking at me with that intensity he was in his bed, a few short weeks later. It was our first time. Our very first time. Who better to let into my life and heart completely? Who cared if mother was appalled and father could hardly believe it. Thankfully his mother and father welcomed me into the family. I didn't care what I'd be losing at home for him, as long as I was gaining him.
"If we do this, I want to be with you forever," Draco sighed into my cheek and I positioned myself closer to him.
"Fine with me," I sighed back…
….Awhile later, in the Great Hall, I knew I was glowing. I never guessed that what I discovered was ever possible.
