She's back

"It's on like Donkey Kong."

Draco reset the board and made his first move with his rook. They went a few moves before Bonnie took one of his rooks and smiled.

"Spill pretty boy," Bonnie taunted with a smile. Draco grumbled and thought for a moment.

"I use to sleep with a teddy bear before I came to Hogwarts." He admitted and glared at her as she snickered. "I swear to bloody Merlin if you tell anyone-"

"Oh Draco the amount of money I would pay to see that. Neither of us will speak a word of this game agreed?" Draco nodded and they continued playing before Draco look one of her rooks.

"Spill Bon Bon," Draco slandered using Peeves preferred name for her. Bonnie wracked her brain for something that wasn't too depressing or stupid.

"Last night was the first time I slept in bed with another person." A Grinch like smile split on Draco's face and she rolled her eyes as she made her move.

"Oh, so you are a bloody nun aren't you?" Draco questioned but she ignored him and motioned to the game. She easily took another chess piece from him and smirked at him.

"I hate onions." Draco said scrunching his nose in disgust and the game went on like that. It was definitely an easy way to get to know someone. Harry's friends were ushered out again, and after he went to sleep they kept playing. However, now the innocence was over with and now the secrets were getting more personal. Draco took her rook at the beginning of the new game and she bit her lip.

"I've never had friends before I came to Hogwarts." Bonnie took Draco's bishop next.

"Last night was the first night I haven't had nightmares in years." Draco took another rook.

"I felt safer in a place I didn't know rather than my own house." Bonnie took a rook.

"You're the only person who's never been afraid of me, even after I hexed them." Draco took her bishop.

"I exploded on Andes in dada because a curse almost hit you." She took his queen and called checkmate.

"I've been dying to kiss you since I pinned you to the pillar." Draco kept his eyes locked with Bonnie's. With a flick of his wand the chess board and pieces aligned themselves on the table next to his bed. Draco was going to lean in to kiss her when Snape sauntered in.

"Good you're both still up. These came for you." Snape said handing Draco a package and a letter to Bonnie. She noticed the seal and handed it back to Snape.

"Check for curses and port keys please." She asked not meeting his questioning gaze. He did as she asked and once it was cleared he handed it back. She floated the letter away from them and opened it with a motion from her for finger. A single sentence was printed on a thick piece of parchment reading:

'Beware of personas of those who are not.'

It wasn't signed, but she knew who it was from. The question was, how could a dead man write a letter to her?

"That's strange, who's it from?" Draco asked and she shrugged.

"No idea, probably someone playing a prank." She rolled off their stares as the parchment and envelope fell on the floor two beds away.

"I see, lights out, time for bed. In your own beds preferably." Snape drawled and Bonnie got into her own bed, as did Draco. Snape nodded and walked out lights flickering off as he shut the doors with a swish of his arm. Bonnie waited a few minutes, contemplating the letter before she got out of her bed and sat on the edge of Draco's.

"What are you doing?" Draco whispered and she turned to him, her heart fluttering away as she tried to control herself. She felt Draco shift as he sat up in bed much closer than she needed right now.

"Are you really going to make me say it?" She asked softly and it took Draco moments before she felt his lips on hers. Sure Snape would kill her in the morning, but she could feel herself slowly falling in love with Draco. She knew this wasn't the curse, she knew this was her own desires at play. It scared her half to death that tomorrow night could mean anything could happen. It scared her even more that she knew that Draco had some feelings for her. Yet somehow in the pit of her stomach, she knew she was safe as long as Draco and Snape were around.

Draco's rested on her left shoulder and turned her. She got the hint and got up, detaching herself from Draco as he flipped the covers up. She got on the bed and straddled his hips. He pulled the covers up before kissing her again. His hands came up to rest on her hips thumbs tucking under her shirt to caress her skin. Her hands brushed over his chest before she placed them on either side of his head. Her fingers threaded through his hair as they kissed. Draco's arms slowly wound themselves around her waist, pulling her closer, before he turned her around laying her back on the bed. Draco slid his tongue across her bottom lip before pulling apart letting their foreheads rest against one another.

"You know what this means don't you?" Draco whispered in her ear before trailing soft kissed down her neck.

"Tell me," Bonnie whispered softly eyes fluttering closed but when she opened then again, she was staring into those stormy gray eyes.

"You're mine." Draco captured her lips in a more feverish kiss than before. His hands slid up her shirt exposing her stomach. Draco pulled away, much to her dismay and laid down pulling the covers around them before they fell asleep together once more. When the first rays of morning sunshine broke into the infirmary, she didn't move from the bed. She smiled as she looked up at Draco's face before she fell back to sleep once more. However, her eyes were no longer blue as they had changed before, and were now their original sparkling green.

When Snape came in early to find his two students once more in the same bed together, he thought briefly about waking them up and giving them a firm talking to. Then he remembered Lucius's concerned letters about Draco's nightmares that had yet to seize with each passing night. He sighed in defeat as he retreated from the infirmary but first set an alarm for them.

Draco and Bonnie both woke up to the alarm before Draco cast a finite on it. He smiled remembering last night's activities and looked down at the girl beginning to wake up in his arms. However, when she looked up to him he was shocked to see her green eyes.

"What?" Bonnie asked worriedly frozen stiff in his arms.

"You're eyes their green. Don't get me wrong their nice, just wanted expecting that so bloody early." Bonnie relaxed considerably and surprised him when she kissed him full on the lips.

"Better get up before Harry does." Bonnie said trying to get when Draco kept his arms locked around her. She glared at him only to make him smirk.

"I knew you liked me. Confess your love to me." Draco commanded making Bonnie roll her eyes.

"No thanks, I don't need to feed that giant ego of yours. It wasn't all that great." Bonnie said with a wicked smirk as she got out from Draco's grip.

"Mark my words woman I will get you to say it." Bonnie took her things into the bathroom to get changed leaving Draco lying there with a stupid smirk on his face.

While Bonnie bathed, she contemplated the letter she had gotten. 'Beware of personas of those who are not.' The seal was from her Uncle's seal he had made himself. He always used gold wax and the seal was the head of a lion with a constellation on its forehead. Her Uncle was supposedly killed after a duel between him and her mother. She only heard shouts from the other side of the door when it happened. He was a very good man unlike the darkness that seemed to encompass the rest of her family. If he were dead, then either someone had broken into his private library and used his things or someone knew her location. She finished up and put her uniform on before stepping out.

Snape and McGonagall were they and Madame Pomfrey was attending to Harry's wounds. She didn't see Draco so she figured he was using the other shower.

"Well Mister Potter it seems you're all healed up. No more running into trouble now. I expect one last semester without seeing you in this wing." She scolded but she smiled and patted his shoulder lovingly. Harry nodded and scurried into the bathrooms to shower and get ready for the day. Six eyes were now looking at her and they all seemed to have noticed the lack of blue in her eyes.

"They changed overnight." Bonnie offered an explanation which they all seemed to understand.

"They three of us were thinking," McGonagall began and that was never a good sign. "We will send Mister Potter to the Great hall then we will all sit down and explain what is going on to Mister Malfoy."

"No," Bonnie immediately rejected the idea. "I will tell me, on my own terms. This isn't something you just sit down and tell someone. I will tell him by tonight, and I will tell you his decision." She said firmly when Draco walked out and offered her a smile which she returned. His entrance ended their discussion and they made their way to the Great Hall.

"Is something wrong?" Bonnie had been lost in her thoughts that she didn't even hear Draco's previous question.

"Oh, no, sorry, I was just lost in my mind for a moment."

"I see." Draco answered and they went to the Slytherin table in silence.

Breakfast soon ended and while they were acting normal around one another, Bonnie couldn't bring herself to tell Draco everything. Classes flew by and soon lunch was over as well. She forced herself to say something but nothing came out. After their classes she pulled him aside into a dark alcove.

"If you wanted to kiss me you could have just asked." Bonnie felt Draco lean in but she put her hand against his chest.

"Draco, I need to tell you something, a lot of something's actually. Can we go somewhere to talk?" Bonnie asked quietly. The sounds of students bustling in the halls faded as they all went off to eat in the great hall.

"Room of Requirement," Draco said before grabbing her hand and pulling her from the alcove. They came to the blank faced wall and Draco let go of her hand before pacing in front of the wall. Soon two large mahogany doors appeared and they went inside. It was a cozy living room with a fire burning, a large sofa, a coffee table in front of the sofa and two mugs of hot cocoa on the table. She walked over and sat down on one side taking off her outer robe and tossing it aside.

"So what else have you been keeping from me Ms. Tannehill? I think I've been rather patient with you keeping secrets in all." Draco was facing her, his eyes full of curiosity and distrust.

"I see you already know my last name." She commented remembering how Snape scolded her and Draco was still asleep, or at least she thought he was.

"I know all about your family as well. Quite a dark family, it doesn't seem like you would fit-"

"You're my soul mate." Bonnie burst out finally, she had to say it or she never would. "The whole thing with the change, I had to find my mate by tonight or I wouldn't complete the transition. I'm sure you've heard of the soul bonds in pureblood tradition." Draco was stiff; his hands were in tight fists and anger blazed in his eyes. He got up and paced the room unable to sit still. Bonnie watched as Draco paced before he whirled on her.

"What does this mean? That I have no choice but to complete the bond with you, or we both die." Draco shouted angrily and Bonnie sighed heavily, she had a hunch Draco would react like this. She had been thinking about it all day and now she realized why she had put this off so long.

"No Draco, because this is a curse, it's different that the soul bond." Which it was, "You get a choice. You can choose to accept me or not and if you don't we can just go our separate ways. You won't die if you choose not to go through with it."

"I have a choice? How do you know?"

"Because I'm the one who's cursed Draco, even if I would die, I would still give you a choice."

"Why would you do that?"

"You would do the same for me." Bonnie said and grabbed a mug of cocoa and took a sip of the still hot liquid. It gave her a reason to look away from those stormy eyes. She didn't know what would happen tonight. She could die, she might not, she wasn't exactly sure anymore. She knew she couldn't look up into those gray eyes anymore.

"I need to go," Draco walked out of the room in hast and she sighed to herself. She wasn't in the mood to be the great hall with everyone after being rejected.

"I'm sorry lass," Bonnie looked up to see Sir Lander standing in a portrait that wasn't there before. She smiled figuring the room made one appear.

"It's okay; I know I did the right thing. Who knows, the book was all wrong so who knows what will come off tonight." Bonnie finished her cocoa before putting it back down on the table and laid down on the sofa looking up at Sir Lander.

"You did a very noble thing. Not many people would be willin' to do such a thing for another person."

"I guess your knight code rubbed off on me." Bonnie snickered to herself and closed her eyes humming softly to herself when Sir Lander spoke again.

"Are you afraid?"

"I heard death is only the next great adventure." They spent the rest of the night in that room talking about everything from philosophy to what life might be like after tonight.

Draco had gone to the great hall to mull things over in his mind. He ate silently and didn't see Snape's eyes boring into his head. Dinner passed uneventfully and he wondered what he would say to Bonnie when he went back to the room of requirement.

"Malfoy," he turned to see Potter coming up to him as he made his way to the room of requirement.

"What is it Potter? I have somewhere I need to be right now." Potter motioned for him to follow him and he did.

"Remember the day on the staircase when it suddenly shifted violently?" Draco nodded as they continued to walk down a lonely corridor, near myrtle's bathroom. "Hermione found a newspaper dated exactly a week before hand. It seems a group of death eaters escaped."

"So what Potter, are you implying something?" Draco stopped glaring at Potter now.

"Would you shut your bloody trap and listen? It said four death eaters escaped, however, the day before Bonnie arrived in the forest, and three were captured."

"Only three?" Draco asked the color leaving his face. "Who didn't they capture?"

"Yes, and one was said to have been spotted near Hogsmeade. It was Alecto-" The floor beneath them disappeared and they fell for what felt like minutes. They dropped onto cold, wet flooring unceremoniously. They both groaned at the lack of a cushioning charm either of them thought to cast. Draco was the first to get up and look around and froze when he saw the basilisk skeleton down the hall.

"Potter where the hell are we," Draco commanded as he got up and looked around.

"The Chamber of Secrets," He said with a flushed face.
