Hey so I figure we might pop into Draco's head and see what he sees for a bit. This will be a short chapter.
It was almost December now and for the last couple weeks I had met Lyra in secret. No one really noticed where I went nor did they really ask if they were around. One time Pansy was around. I was about to slip out of the common room when she appeared.
"Where are you going Draco?" She asked quietly from the bottom of the stairs that led to the girls dorm.
"Just for a walk, go back to your room." I was a little quick with her but I had to see Lyra.
"No you aren't. You're hiding something aren't you?" I could hear what she was really getting at. I turned to face her.
"What do you want Parkinson?" I exasperated throwing my hands up. She looked slightly hurt, I didn't feel bad.
"Are you meeting someone? Is that what it is?" Her lip quivered as she looked at me with a hurt expression. Bloody hell, our relationship was never a deep one.
"Maybe, maybe not. All I can say is that it is important." I could easily say it is for the mission.
"I won't tell you know, those other idiots would let it slip up but I wouldn't." She stepped down and walked over to me. I always feel bad for Pansy, I can't feel what she feels for me. She never felt like the person I was meant to be with.
"Then I won't tell anyone anything, Pansy I've got to-" She cut me off with a kiss. I was stunned for a moment not sure what to do, but then I realized the situation and pushed her away. She looked hurt and I felt bad for that. "Pansy, I can't."
"There is someone, isn't there." It wasn't a question. I nodded. "Who?" She asked in a whisper.
"I'm not ready to reveal it, it's too dangerous for me to be involved with someone publicly." I explained. "Promise me Pansy, promise you won't say a word to anyone?"
She nodded. "I won't Draco, despite what happened I am still your friend and I do care about you." She blinked back a couple tears. Honestly I did try when we were together, but she always felt more like a friend than a lover to me.
"Thanks." I squeezed her shoulder and bolted out of the common room and to the astronomy tower where Lyra would be waiting for me.
When I reached the tower, sure enough she was there. She was leaning on the railing looking out into the snow covered land wearing only a lavender sweater and some black pants. Walking up behind her I wrapped my arms around her waist and nuzzled my face into her neck, her soft ebony hair tickling my face.
"Well hello there." She said sweetly. She smelt like black raspberry, white lilies, and vanilla.
"I'm sorry I'm late. I tried to get here sooner." I said softly into her ear and kissed her cheek. I'm not always this affectionate with her, sometimes I just talk with her and she with me about our lives or what is going on with us. We don't really talk about us as an item. Other times we hold each other and say nothing at all and just bask in the quiet in each other's arms. Then there are the times where we can't keep our hands or lips one another and we spend hours snogging. Only snogging, we haven't crossed certain lines yet. I can't quite say why, but I want to kiss her all over and never let her go.
"You're here now, that's all that matters to me." She sighed and reached her hand up to caress my cheek. Her touch, her scent, and her voice were all I needed to make everything else seem so small. I took her in every time, I never know if this will be the last or not. I stepped back and turned her to face me. Her eyes lighting up as they met mine. I leaned down to plant a kiss on her lips. "What was that for?" She smiled.
"For being you. For being beautiful, amazing, intelligent you." She reached her arms around my neck and brought me back into a kiss. This one wasn't so quick and gentle. I could feel her eagerness with it and I let everything go and gave it to her. I let my hand fall to her waist and even let one wander just slightly under the hem of her sweater so I could feel her soft warm skin while my other arm roped around her waist pressing her small body into mine. She moves her lips to my neck and teases kisses down to my collar bone where she leaves her mark on me. It's nights like these that if I were to die right now I would die the happiest man alive.
I can't say if I love her or not, I feel like it is too soon to say. All I know is that I would do anything to be with her. I haven't known her very long at all, but I feel like I can trust her the most. She makes me feel at ease just by looking at me with those eyes of hers. If I didn't know any better I would say she was at least half Veela. I try not to think too far ahead of our maybe future, once the Dark Lord is in full power I can't see her anymore. I don't know if I should say anything about her or not, it would either save her or kill her. I'll deal with that when it comes though. For now, I'll enjoy what we have. Whatever this is, she is my one and only happiness.
