He refused to let her go. End of story- that was final. He may not be her husband (yet, he reasoned with himself, that would change once they graduated), but he was her boyfriend, and Merlin knows Draco Malfoy was not going to let her go anywhere near that. There would be absolutely no exception. And he thought he had thoroughly voiced that to her.

She rolled her eyes as she walked to her chest, with the intent of pulling out a nice sweater for her dinner with her former professor, "So he made a mistake."

"He's a pedophile!" He growled; there was no way he was ever going to let her near him, no matter what she said.

"It was a big mistake." She plucked the dark red cashmere one out, pulled it over his head, and kissed her boyfriend, cradling his cheek in her hand, "It will be fine, nothing will happen. I'm eighteen, you're my boyfriend, I love you, and Gilderoy Lockhart just wants some advice to get his life back on track."

"With a young teenage girl, my girl, no less? My beautiful, attractive, hotter than hell itself girlfriend? Over my dead body!"

And with that, Draco stormed out, his girlfriend trailing after him in protest.

Albus Dumbledore, headmaster, looked over his spectacles at the young boy in front of him. The blonde was very relaxed to be in here, regarding the circumstances. But there he was, bruised black eye tainting his pristine alabaster skin tone, acting as if he didn't have a care in the world.

"So, Mr. Malfoy, I'm sure you're quite pleased with yourself. Assaulting a man during a school planned Hogesmade trip, having him hospitalized for the damage you had caused."

He shrugged, "Don't regret it, Professor."

"Is that all you have to say for yourself? Was there no reason, no initial force behind the action?"

"He wanted to have lunch with my girl." Draco shrugged.

Glancing at the stack of papers he still had to sort through, the aging man felt it was time to wrap this meeting up; he already knew where it was headed, "I assumed you're referring to your fear of Gilderoy's sexual mistake with Miss Brown and which this mistake might be repeated with Miss Granger?"

If he didn't have his dignity, he would've twiddled his fingers, "You've got me all figured out, Professor."

And with Draco's dismissal, his punishment detention for a week and a formal apology, Dumbledore watched as Miss Granger was right outside the doors, fussing over his black eye, telling him how crazy he was for doing such a thing.

Albus chuckled; young love was something to be cherished, but he was definitely getting too old for this.

(: I hope everyone figured out the whole Gilderoy pedophile thing… it's kinda vague.

Love it? Hate it? Indifferent? Leave a review.
