Chapter 7
I shot up in bed as a loud crack of thunder the sounded and lightening light up my room. I looked around in the soft glow from the dyeing fire and remembered where I was. It was only dream. I heaved a sigh of relief as another crack of thunder sounded outside. Suddenly feeling very scared and alone, I slipped out of bed. Once I left the warmth of the bed I realized how cold it was. I picked up my wand and summoned my Hufflepuff sweatshirt from my bag and put it on. With my wand in hand, I crept out of my room and across the hall to Draco's room. I knocked very lightly on the door, no answer. Quietly I opened the door and looked inside. The room was dimly lit from the warm fire in the hearth. I eased the door shut and padded across the room towards the bed.
Draco lay in bed, peacefully asleep. His hair had fallen in face. I reached out my hand to smooth the hair away from his face. Just as my finger tips brushed his face, like lightening, his hand was around my wrist. He flipped me across his body, pinning me under the weight of his body. The tip of his wand pointed at my neck. A flash of lightening from outside illuminated the bedroom and recognition came to Draco's face as he lowered his wand and rolled off me.
He was breathing heavy, once it had slowed he said, "Belle, I'm sorry. Are you alright?"
I sat up and nodded.
"Did you need something?" he asked.
"No, I didn't need anything, Draco," I said getting up off the bed. "I'm sorry I woke you up." I apologized as I started to walk back towards the door, but then I felt him grab my hand.
"Wait. What's wrong, Belle?" he asked pulling me back to the bed.
"It's nothing really. I just woke up because of the storm and felt very alone and scared."
He gave me a small smile and pulled me towards him in a gentle embrace. "You don't need to feel alone. I'm right here." He pulled back from the hug so he could look at my face. "Stay with me tonight," he said before he kissed me deeply, as he laid me back into the pillows.
His left hand cradled my body as his right hand made it's way up to the zipper of my sweatshirt and unzipped it.
He chuckled and raised an eyebrow at me, "No pajamas?"
I laughed, "I was too tired to find them."
He chuckled again as he started to caress body and began kissing me again.
After a while, I broke away from him and at his face, nervously, "Draco, I've never...never had..."
"Sex?" He said, raising an eyebrow at me. "Do you want to stop?"
I bit my bottom lip and shook my head. "No, I want to do this with you, Draco."
With that said, we made love for the first time together. When we were done, we laid down in bed together. I laid my head against his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around my body, holding me close. As we relaxed in each others embrace, Draco began to slowly run his hand up and down my arm. I smiled, contently, and closed my eyes. After half an hour of laying beside each other, I felt Draco turn his face to look at me.
"Are you asleep?" he asked, kissing the tip of my nose.
I sighed and smiled, opening my hazel eyes to meet his gray eyes. "No, I just relaxing."
"Let's move the relaxing to the bath then," he said as he pulled me out of the bed.
We walked over to a door off to the side of his room. When he opened the door, the sight that met my eyes was an extravagant bathroom. The floor was done in extremely soft white carpet. Along the right wall ran a green marble counter with a sink and a large mirror handing on the wall. On the left side of the room was a black chaise lounge and a linen cabinet. Against the far wall stood a large black marble fireplace, with a fire crackling merrily in the hearth. And in the center of the room was a huge bathtub with many different taps. That's a bathtub? Looks more like a small swimming pool. I thought as Draco flicked his wand and several of the taps turned on. A short time later the tub was filled to the brim with water and bubbles, while the calming scent of lavender, chamomile, and vanilla filled the air. We stepped into the huge tub and sank into the warm water. The water when I stood up came to the top of my shoulders while Draco's shoulders and upper chest were out of the water. Once in the water, Draco pulled me back against his chest and wrapped his arms around my waist. I relaxed my head against his shoulder and stared up at the ceiling. All of the sudden the ceiling flashed with lightening.
"Is the ceiling-" I started.
"Enchanted." Draco interrupted. "Yeah, it's enchanted to reflect the sky outside just like the ceiling in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. Actually, that's where I got the idea from."
After that, we relaxed in silence for a while until almost all the bubbles were gone. As we got out of the bath, I realized that my clothes were still in the guest room across the hall. Draco laughed as he quickly pulled on a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt then went across the hall to retrieve my backpack.
"What time is it?" I asked after I put on a pair of skinny blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and my Hufflepuff sweatshirt.
"It is half past four in the morning," Draco said as he glanced at the clock on the mantel piece above the fireplace in his bedroom. "We still have a few hours until my parents and Scorpius wake up."
"What do you want to do until they wake up?" I asked walking over to him and wrapping my arms around his neck as I leaned up to give him a quick kiss.
"Well, I would like to show you something," he said as he led me to the sofa in front of the fireplace and had me sit down. He walked over to the wardrobe and pulled out a guitar then walked back towards me.
"You wanted to show me a guitar?" I asked.
"Yes. Well no, not exactly," he said as he sat down on the coffee table in front of me. "I wrote you a song the other day while you were sleeping."
I smiled. "You did?"
He nodded. "This is the first time I've sung it. So...here it goes."
He started to play on the guitar first and after a few seconds, he started to sing.
And I wish I knew everything there is to know about you.
And I want you to see just exactly what you mean to me.
And you – you think you know me.
I guarantee there's a lot more to see.
And you – you don't believe it's true –
That if I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming of you.
And I wish that I could hold your hand,
Feet beneath the sand.
And I wish that I could drive you in my car
To kiss you under stars.
And I want you to be, everything that you deserve to be.
And if I close my eyes, then I can see you perfectly.
And I – I don't know where to go.
I wrote a song just to let you know
That we – we could be together.
I'll hold you forever.
And I wish that I could hold your hand,
Feet beneath the sand.
I wish that I could drive you in my car
To kiss you under stars.
And I wish that I could hold your hand,
Feet beneath the sand.
And I wish that I could feel your touch,
I think about you so much.
I smiled at him as he finished the song and sat his guitar down. "That was a really great song. I loved it. And you have a very nice singing voice, Draco."
"Thanks." He smiled but then became very serious. "Um, Belle, I know we've only known each other for barely a week, but I would like it if, after this is over if you would...would..."
I stared at him confused. "If I would what, Draco?"
He looked at me and knelt down in front of me, taking my hand in his, "Belle, would you marry me?"
I gasped.
"I know we haven't known each other long but something just feels right. I've felt it from the minute I met you. This past week, apart from for my life, has been the happiest I have felt in a long time. I think we were destined to meet each other." He paused and pulled a vintage ring out of his pocket. The stone was a large oval emerald with little diamonds all around it and the band was rose gold. "Belle...Isabelle Bennet, will you marry me?"
I stared at him shocked for a minute, then I realized he was still waiting for my answer. I nodded. "Yes! Yes, Draco, I'll marry you!" I exclaimed.
He heaved a sigh of relief and slide the ring on my finger as he kissed me.
When we broke apart, I looked down to admire the ring in the glow of the fire light.
Draco noticed as he sat down beside me and took my hand. "It was my great-grandmother ring and the only thing she left me in her will," he explained. "I love you, Belle," he said as he pulled me close to him on the sofa.
I smiled contentedly. "I love you too, Draco Malfoy," I said as I leaned my head against his shoulder.
We sat like that for a long time, just staring into the fire. Then we finally drifted back off to sleep in each other's arms.
End of Chapter 7
a/n: Well I hope you enjoyed chapter 7. The ring Draco gave Belle, think Kate Middleton's ring, only with an emerald. This fic will wrap up here in the next few chapters. If you liked this chapter please let me know in the comments below. Or if you didn't like it I would still love to hear from you.
If you would like to read more of my work, head on over to my author's page, I am 4 chapters into my InuYasha fic. If that's not you cup of tea I do have 2 Harry Potter fic planned for the future. One is going to be all seven books through another point of view, or major plot points anyway. And the second HP fic is a Severus and Hermione fic, set in the Marauders era. And then I have a Dragon Ball Z one also in the works. Also a modern Anne Of Green Gables fic. And maybe down the road a few more HP ones. But right now those HP fics, other than the previously mentioned 2, are all very rough ideas. Anyways...kind of rambling here, again. As always thanks for reading. See you soon.
