(A/N Thanks for the reviews, fanfic fans! I'm glad to hear that you all like Meth. She says that she likes you people, too. And she also wishes she knew why Snape has that horrid grin on his face... And yes, Snape is a bit OOC in this story, but you people will just have to deal with it.)

Disclaimer: I don't own Draco Malfoy, because he'd be chained up in my bedroom. I do not own anything Harry Potter related, they are all the property of J.K. Rowling. Meth and this plot line, however, DO belong to me. I'm just a poor high school student, so don't sue me, please!



Draco and Meth were too shocked to move. What would the head of the Slytherin house do? Would he expel them for such behavior? They simply stared at him, waiting for their judgement to be passed.

Snape clapped his hands. "What a beautiful speech, Mr. Malfoy. Did you really mean everything that you said to this poor girl? Or are you simply telling her what she wants to hear to get something from her...?"

"What would I gain by lying, Professor?" Draco's stupefied expression vanished with a flash of anger. "I may be silver tongued, but I wouldn't lie about something like this. Do you honestly think I would be lying to her, even if she is a muggle, about the fact that I would willingly lay down my life if it meant the preservation of hers?" Draco turned his attention back to Meth and he brushed a few wisps of wine colored hair back from her face. "I could never lie to her, Professor..."

Snape laughed. "I can see that you speak the truth, Draco. But here's a question for you... What will Lucius and Narcissa think? You know how your family feels about mudbloods. They're unclean. They shouldn't mix with the pure bloodlines and sully them."

Draco growled slightly. "Professor... you were here long enough to hear what I said. If my parents disown me, then so be it. I would give up everything to live my life with Meth. And also, what will our punishment be for this? I'd like to know if we're expelled, so I can pack my bags if that's the repercussion for our behavior."

Snape crossed his arms and looked at the pair sprawled on the bed. He resisted the strong urge to smile at both of them. Finally, someone to turn Draco around. Make him see how worthwhile life really is, he thought. "Well, Draco, what if disowning you isn't enough? What if they think that the penalty for your little love tryst is death? Would you be willing to die, before you've even seen half of your life, to be with this girl? This girl you've only just met?"

Draco's back stiffened slightly, but his voice was firm and full of conviction. "If I must die to spend even one more day with her... then yes, I would. My parents can do what they will, they can't keep us apart for long. And you're wrong about having only just met..."

Meth cut him off. "We were together in another time, and another place. It's quite clear. Have you ever heard of love at first sight, Professor?" Snape nodded. "Then doesn't it make perfectly logical sense that this isn't really first sight? Isn't it possible that the reason this happens is because two people were together in another life, and their souls have finally found each other, again?" She ran her hand up and down on Draco's tense left upper arm as if to calm him.

The potions teacher couldn't resist a rare smile at the both of them. "You two just don't give up, do you? Well, let me tell you this.. I'll overlook this little breech of conduct if you two make sure no one else knows when you're... preoccupied. Oh, and do lock the door if you get any more serious than you are now, hm?" He walked out the door without another word, closing it behind him.

The couple was once again reduced to silence. Draco laughed and kissed Meth playfully on the nose. "I think Snape has finally lost it, my love."

"Even if he has, at least it's in our favor, correct?" He nodded.

"Do you think that maybe we should wait a while before we completely overstep the bounds of proper conduct? I mean, we did just meet in this life, today."

Meth nodded. "I almost wish I could just sleep up here with you. My bed is going to seem very lonely after being here with you, hot stuff." She winked up at him.

"I don't see why you couldn't just sleep here. If someone comes in and sees us asleep, does it really matter? I'm sure the whole teaching staff already knows. And the other students will know soon enough. Maybe it would be fun to have a few rumors spread about us..." He winked impishly at her.

"Perhaps it would be..." Meth grinned.

"Shall we go to sleep then, my lady love?" He moved his body off of hers and offered her a hand up.

She smiled and took his hand in hers, laughing as he pulled her body close to his. He embraced her warmly and kissed her lips tenderly.

She trailed her fingers to the center of his chest. "You know, Draco... Having a few stories spread about us is going to be great fun." She raised her lips to his again, touching them together only briefly.

Draco grinned and pulled back the covers on his bed, climbing in first. He held them up and Meth got underneath the blankets with him, pulling them down on top of the both of them. She lay on her side, and he wrapped his arms around her from behind, pulling her body against his.

He kissed her neck softly and whispered in her ear, "Good night, love."

Meth smiled and whispered back, "Good night, hot stuff." She reached out from under the covers to turn off the lights, and the room was plunged into darkness. The lovers didn't mind it because they were together at last, lying in the warm comfort of each other's arms.
