They did our nightly rituals of him showering (just a rinse off the day shower he liked to call it) and her brushing her teeth. She was already in her pajamas which consisted of a tank top and shorts. She spit out the toothpaste and watched it as it swirled its way down the drain. A hand sneaked around and made its way across her belly moving its way up where it finally met its goal. Her breasts. She felt her boyfriend of six months lips against the skin of her lower neck. He spun her around and kissed her fully on the lips. Closing her eyes she enjoyed the sensation that came with kissing him. No one can ever deny that Draco Malfoy knows how to kiss. He lifted her up and gently set her down upon the counter next to the sink, successfully making us the same height. One of his hands crept further down and fingered the elastic band of her shorts. Feeling that, she pulled away from him causing him to slightly groan from the loss of contact.

"Draco, you know where I stand."

"I know. No sex unless there's love."

She absently nodded at him.

He leaned back, placed both hands on her thighs and looked her straight in the eyes.

"Elizabeth, I've told you before. I love you. When we are done dealing with your crazy half brother, I am going to marry you. I will wait until my dying breath for you."

Since when was he so sweet? Made her want to cry, instead she entwined their fingers.

"I know you do Draco, but I've told you what would happen to me if I was careless and fell in love with someone who only wanted to get in my pants, and I am very thankful that you are understanding about this."

They smiled at each other.

"Draco, when we are alone, you may call me Caeil."

He looked at her shocked. To be given use of a Elf's given name is considered a great honor.

"You sure?"she nodded and his face lit up like a Christmas tree. He gave her a deep kiss until a throat cleared. They broke apart and looked over at Hermione who was leaning against the doorframe grinning at them.

"The door was unlocked so I thought you were done in here. Guess I was wrong."

Draco stepped away from Elizabeth and disappeared into their bedroom opposite of Hermione's, still wearing the towel slung low on his hips. Elizabeth smirked as Hermione entered the bathroom to get ready for bed.

"Hey Hermione?"

"Hmm?"

"If you wanted to see my boyfriend naked, you could have just asked."

Laughing at her shocked expression and leaving her stuttering, Elizabeth jumped off the counter and went into the bedroom closing the door behind her before Hermione recovered enough to throw a jinx. Draco looked up when she entered from where he was laying on the bed reading a textbook. He set it aside as she crawled into bed next to him. She slid under the covers and enjoyed the feeling of silk against her skin, briefly wondering if she should pull out her Elvin silk sheet set and place those on here. If she did that, she would never get out of bed. Draco tucked her up against him and he quickly fell asleep. She laid there awake with a feeling that something bad was going to happen soon. It was several hours later when she was jerked awake by someone screaming. She bolted upright and held out her wand. She didn't see any immediate danger but looked over and saw Draco sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in both of his hands. She could see the sweat running down his back due to the moonlight that was pouring through the nearby window.

"Draco?"

He turned slightly at her voice.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."

She scooted over and sat next to him.

"Everything all right?"

"Just a nightmare."

"Have you hand these before?"

He gave a small nod at her question.

"They started last year when I had that mission from the Dark Lord."

They sat in utter silence for who knows how long until she broke it.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

He shook his head as he swung around to face her. His silver green eyes looking haunted nearly broke her heart with grief for this young man who experienced so much in his short life. She crawled back under the covers and he followed suit. She waited until he fell back asleep before muttering the incantation for switching dreams from one person to another. At least now he'll get a good nights sleep. She waited until she felt the small tug in her mind that let's her know the spell worked. Knowing she wont be able to sleep tonight, she grabbed her wand and shifted out of bed. Grabbing her cloak, she walked around the castle barefooted not paying attention to where she was going. She ended up at the Astronomy tower. She knew that this is where a younger Draco had held her Godfather at wand point in attempt to carry out his mission, but wasn't able to so Snape did it for him. Closing her eyes she pictured that nights events only to be jerked out of it by the sound of footsteps. Coming around the corner was none other that her brother Erick. Now she knew what the bad feeling was all about. Its been way too long since she has heard anything to do with him.

"Such a lovely evening my dear sister. It's a shame it must come to an end."

"Truly a shame Brother."

"This is between us Elizabeth."

She gave a tilt of her head in acknowledgment.

"I see you had your boyfriends parents hide and young mister Malfoy has a protection charm on him. Smart moves."

"Thank you Erick. Shall we begin or are you going to give me compliments all night?"

He tilted his head to the side.

"Eager to face your death?"

"Death is the next big adventure Brother."

No sooner than the words life her mouth, he fired the first hex at her. She easily blocked it and returned fire. Soon enough they were nothing more than a blur of robes. Flashes of light bursting out of nowhere and objects surrounding them being hit by a missed hex and exploding. Nearly Headless Nick floated through a wall in the process of yelling thinking that Peeves was causing all the ruckus. He stopped and stared with wide eyes when he witnessed Erick and Elizabeth dueling. He watched as the disappeared out of the corridor so quickly that he blinked a few times just to make sure he saw what he saw. He knew that someone was going to get seriously hurt if not killed by this duel, so he turned tail and flew as fast as he could to find Professor McGonagall. Erick and her fought all the way down from the Astronomy Tower all the way to the Great Hall. There they dueled for a good ten to fifteen minutes before Erick started laughing. She didn't divert attention to see what was amusing him so much. She didn't have to wait long.

"Looks like I get a shot at your boyfriend after all!"

He fired a curse that as she whirled around in attempt to protect Draco from it, hit Draco in the chest. She watched as he fell to the ground with shock written clearly across his face. That's when her control snapped. In an instant, the Glamour she kept snapped off and her tattoo started moving all along her back and shoulders. Erick saw her change and ran out of the Hall. She gave pursuit all while yelling taunts at him.

"What's the matter Brother dearest? Forgot I was a half breed?"

They came to a stop in the corridor near the Room of Requirement. Erick pointing his wand at her and she had her hands on her hips and glared at him. A low light was pulsing around her like a heartbeat. To the nearby portraits she looked terrifyingly beautiful.

"Or is it, you were assuming that I haven't embraced my Elvin magic?"

"You never like using those powers!"

"Why would I advertise how strong I really am? That would be plan stupid!"

Their curses hit at the same time causing a huge explosion. The force of magic held them in place so they stared up at horror as the ceiling started to collapse. The last thing that went through her head was thoughts about Draco, than it was only blackness.
