Previously: "She's head over heels in love with you mate," Blaise said.

Present Time:

"Why didn't she ever tell me?" A stupefied Draco responded.

"She was afraid of how you would react. Riley didn't want to be rejected by her best friend," Blaise explained.

Sighing Draco leaned back against his pillow, "I never would have rejected her Blaise."

Blaise walked over and sat on the end of Draco's bed and looked up at his friend. Taking a deep breath, he said, "In a way you already have. When you announced that you chose Astoria she felt like there was no way she could ever have you."

Draco slammed his head back against headboard, "God Blaise, it's just a business deal. My father needs her family associations to get back into the Ministry. I had no choice in the matter and if I break the contract I will lose the Malfoy title and fortune."

Blaise looked at his friend with an incredulous look, "Do you honestly think that Lucius is going to let the Malfoy line end?"

"Yes, you don't know him like I do, B. He's ruthless when it comes to getting what he wants. He'd adopt an orphaned pureblood, give them the title, and up his status with society," Draco closing his eyes in defeat.

Blaise stood up and started walking to the door, "Well its up to you Drake. Do you love her enough to abandon your family?"

"Well you better figure that out before you try and talk to Riley," Blaise said, leaving the room.

Laying back down on the bed, Draco thought back to how Riley had meant to him over the years. He had been his one constant friend other than Blaise. "I love her," he whispered, making up his mind. He got out of bed and pulled on his clothes form last night and walked over the fireplace. He sat in front of the fireplace deciding what he was going to say to his father. Deciding to wing it, he grabbed a fist full a floo powder and called out Malfoy Manor.

Lucius was most likely in his study trying to figure out a way to destroy Dumbledore. Knocking twice on the solid oak door he waited outside until he heard the okay to enter.

"Come In," a voice drawled. Draco pushed open the door and marched into room. "Ah Draco, to what do I owe this pleasure?"

"I need to talk to you about my engagement to Astoria," Draco said, sitting down in one of the chairs in front of Lucius' desk.

"What about it?" Lucuis snapped.

"I want out of it," Draco stated in a very calm voice.

A bitter laugh came from Lucius before he answered, "that is not possible my son. May I ask why the change of mind?"

"I love another," Draco said, looking his father straight in the eye.

"Well that's inconvenient. You will just have to get over that," Lucuis stated in an icy tone and properly dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand.

"No father, I will be with her and not Astoria."

"Then you will be no son of mine. Think very carefully about this son and make the right decision."

"I already have Lucuis and I choose Riley," Draco said, as he stood up and walked out of his father's study.

He made his way quickly through the manor to his old room where he could floo back to Hogwarts. When he was back in his room he ran to go find Riley. He went to the one place he knew she would hide. It only took him ten minutes to run from the Syltherin dungeons to the top of the Astronomy Tower. By the time he reached the top of the stairs he could barely breath but he flung the door open to reveal the love of his life, sitting curled up in a corner,

Upon hearing a noise, Riley looked up started to see him standing there. "Can I talk to you?" He begged.

Riley looked into his molten grey eyes brimming with emotion. "Go ahead," she whispered.

Draco walked to her and knelt right in front of her and declared, " I choose you. I want to be with you and I love you Riley O'Connell."

"Oh Draco," she cried as she threw herself into his arms, knocking them both to the ground. He hugged her fiercely, pulling her close to his body. She opened her eyes and saw him looking at her with a emotion she never thought she would see from him, love. He quickly closed the distance between their lips. Neither knew or cared that they were lying on the floor of the Astronomy Tower. As time passed the kisses grew more and more frantic. Finally Riley pulled away and whispered, "I love you too, you idiot."

"I declare my love for you and you insult me. Is this how its going to be for the rest of our lives," Draco whined, as Riley's eyes lit up at the fact that he thought they would spend eternity together.

All too soon their happiness was destroyed as the door flung open to reveal an irate Astoria. "What do you think you are doing Draco? You are engaged to me," she yelled, her face turning an unbecoming shade of red.

"No Astoria, I am no longer engaged to you. I love Riley and we will be together," Draco said as if speaking to a child.

"You would choose this tramp over me?" Astoria cried, spit flying as she annunciated the words.

"Yes," was Draco's quick and easy answer.

Overcome with rage, Astoria pulled out her wand, pointing it directly at Riley and screamed, "Avada Kedavra" before Riley or Draco could react. The spell hit Riley right in the chest, killing her instantly.

"NNNNOOOOOOO," screamed Draco, pulling the body of his beloved into his arms.

"Now you can only be with me," Astoria cried before pointing her wand at Draco and shouting, "Obliviate." All the memories of Riley being his friend disappeared in an instant. The force of the spell knocked Draco back into the wall. Astoria quickly rolled the body of Riley O'Connell over the edge of the Astronomy Tower.

When Draco awoke he was in his room with Astoria curled up against his chest.

"Hey babe," she said softly wiping his blond hair out of his eyes.

"Hey 'Storia" he replied.

Suddenly Blaise flew through the door yelling, "Drake, come quickly its Riley!"

"What about her?" Draco asked never moving from his spot on the bed.

"What the hell mate? She threw herself off of the Astronomy Tower. They are hoping to save her but it doesn't look promising," Blaise cried, trying to rouse he friend out of bed.

"Well that sucks for her," Draco replied in a bored tone, laying his head back down on the pillows.

Astoria was looking on with a smug smirk on her face and as Blaise looked at her he knew she had been the reason for this. Blaise left the Syltherin Dorms and did not talk to Draco for the rest of his life. Never forgiving him for what happened to his best friend.

Draco moved into his spot among the ranks of the death eater circle and later married Astoria in an extravagant ceremony, never once remembering the woman he had loved.
