Dracos POV
NO! Draco turned and ran, slamming the door as hard as he could. He heard her call out to him as he ran, but he didnt care. He was at the stairs before he even heard the door open again.
He ran straight through the common room, to his private chambers. He then slammed that door too.
"What. The. Hell." he finnished each word by throwing somthing at the wall. He pulled his sweater vest over his head and messed up his hair. He threw it at the door. "Why wouldn't she just tell me?!" he yelled, using his arm to sweep all of his books, parchment and quills to the floor. He kicked the leg of the now cleared desk and crumpled to the floor at the foot of his bed.
"I am not my father!" he screamed, pulling at his hair as tears bagan to fall down his face, "Im not a heartless d-deatheater!" he closed his eyes and put his head on his knees, sobbing.
He didn't hear as his door cracked open, and Jaycie padded in, her eyes huge and her fur quivering, She didn't want to let him see her scared but they had to talk.
She rubbed her body against his leg, and his sobbing was cut off by a startled gasp.
He ran his fingertips along her spine. "Cat," he said. "Jaycie. Why didn't you tell me?" she jumped onto his bed and morphed.
"Because everyone has their secrets," she said, her voice dark.
"So I guess you know all mine, then" he spat, "You could ruin my life!" he yelled.
"And you mine," she said calmly, "Im an unregistered animagus," she whispered in his ear from behind him. She shook her head and stood. She shivered as he looked her up and down. He took a deep breath and stood as well.
"Oh," he turned away wiping furiously at his face. "I guess you know about the vanishing cabinet then," he said, but she ignored him.
"You know who my parents are don't you? or at least you should," she wasnt asking and Draco knew it. He froze in place. He remembered that night. The night his father went to Azkaban.
"Nine months, seven days, two hours and thirty four minutes ago my parents were killed by a deatheater," she said, venom dripping from her voice. He tried to speak but his throat was dry.
"I would of been gone with them, I saw your father come into our house, and I morphed! I morphed and left my parents defencesless!" she exclaimed. "Its my fault my own parents are dead!" she cried. He started punching the nearest wall.
"I will not be like my father! I will not be!" he yelled. She shook her head and walked to the door.
"So you just give up?" he demanded. "I'm sorry for yelling," he added in a quieter voice.
"Words mean nothing to me Draco," she muttered leaving the room.
"Don't walk away from me!" he called. They were in the common room by now. He grasped her shoulder.
"Dont. Touch. Me!" she exclaimed shrugging him off.
"We need to talk!" he yelled as they climbed the grand stair case.
"Theres nothing to talk about Draco!" she called over her shoulder. They were halfway up the stairs when Draco grabbed her arm again, pulling her down a step to his level.
"What?" she said finally, after an intense stare down.
"We understand each other," he whispered softly unaware of the many people who stopped to watch. He wrapped his hand around her neck, drew her close and pressed his lips against hers. Her lips were warm against his, and her hands came up to rest against his cheeks, and his hands found her waist.
"Twenty points from Slytherin for innapropriate behavior during school hours," a cold, dark voice drawled. They broke apart and saw Professor Snape glaring up the staircase. "Draco, my office, five minutes," he hissed. And his was gone, lost in his billowing cloak.
"Um, uh. . ." Jaycie stuttered. Draco glared after Snape. He looked back at Jaycie.
"Well I better go, we'll talk later," he whispered in her ear. He took off up the stairs. She waited a few minutes before following. She morphed while no one was watching and found her way to Snapes office.
"I made the unbreakable vow with your mother, I will not die for a stupid girl!" Snape snapped. In a more quiet voice he said "The Dark Lord is getting very restless and that girl will just distract you from your task," he said. Snape stood at his desk nose to nose with Draco.
"The cabinet is not ready yet," Draco said.
"Dumbledore must be killed," Snape said slowly. Draco's face turned pale, Jaycie could see him shaking from her hiding space under a book shelf.
"I know, and I'll do it, I've been through too much to not so the Dark Lord needn't be worried," he growled. Jaycies heart froze in her chest, she held her breath to avoid making a sound. She slowly inched her way out of the room.
Jaycies POV
Once outside the school, she ran as fast and as far as she could. Once she was tired, she morphed back into human form and went into the common room. It was 1:00 am. She made her way to Draco's room. He was sleeping in bed, rolling around and moaning. She sat on the edge of his bed and prodded him in the side. He mumbled in his dreams but did not wake. She shook his shoulder furiously. He sat up and looked around wild eyed.
"Whats going on?" he gasped. "Whats happening?"
She glared at him. "Why don't you tell me?" she asked. He ran a hand through his bed head. He looked at her.
"What are you doing in my room? In the middle of the night, not that I'm complaining," he smiled at her. She didn't return it.
"What were you doing in Snapes office?" she asked. His smile faded.
"Just . . ." she cut him off.
"Just what? just planning Dumbledore's death? is that all?" she snapped. "You said you wouldn't be like your father, I believed you," she muttered. "Guess we were both wrong," she said. He gazed at her, his dark silver eyes widened in shock.
"You were listening?" he asked. His heart thundered in his chest. She nodded and smiled wanly.
"Yeah but it was nothing anyone would ever want to hear," she said.
"You don't understand!" he exclaimed. She stood.
"Well then help me understand!" she yelled back. He flipped back his duvet and stood. He was shirtless, and he wore black silk boxers, his toned muscles stood out on his arms and chest. But her eyes were glued to the dark mark that glowed black against his pale skin.
"Look at me," he said softly. "Look at me," he repeated. He gently took her chin and forced her to raise her gaze from his left arm. "This mark is a part of me, but it is not who I am, " he whispered. Tears filled her eyes.
"But you said to Snape. . ." he shushed her.
"I know what I said to Snape, and it dosn't matter, what matters is you trusting me," he said, his intense gaze made her squirm in discomfort.
"But your going to kill Dumbled----" he clapped a hand over her mouth.
"Shhhhhh!" he exclaimed. He turned away from her breathing heavily. "I'm not going to do it," he said. "I can't, but when I don't they are going to kill me."
Jaycies eyes widened and she started to cry. Tears dripped down her face.
"No no no, please don't cry, I didn't mean to scare you, I'm sorry!" he exclaimed, wiping her tears. She shook her head. "I'm not going to use it," he said.
"You don't scare me," she mumbled.
"People can't see you like this, you can stay here the night," he said. She tried to protest but he passed her a t-shirt and pointed to the bathroom.
"Go change," he said. He pointed his wand at the candle on his bedside table and lit it. When she came out he was pulling a blanket from his trunk. He looked at her and smiled. The t-shirt was black and reached down to her thighs, and slipped off her left shoulder a bit. She placed her clothes in the corner of the room and move towards the bed he was making on the floor.
"No, you take the bed," he said pointing. She shook her head. But it was no use, he kept pointing at the bed until she climbed in. She pulled the blanket over her and smiled.
"Happy?" she asked. He nodded. "Thank you Draco," she added. He blew out the candle and climbed in his makeshift bed on the floor. They laid there in silence until they slowly drifted off to sleep.
