True Chapter 13, a harry potter fanfic

The next morning, I was debating on whether to tell Draco the charade was over, or not. During lunch I couldn't tell him, because I was sorting out how I felt about the whole thing. I was tossing and turning all of last night, hoping to get some answers. I decided to call him.

"Merlin woman, I'm flattered you called but please do it sometime when the sun is shining, okay?" he grumbled, picking up after ten rings.

"Well I needed to talk to you," I half-whispered.

"You could have told me at lunch, and why are you whispering?"

"Blaise.."

"He broke up with Daphne? That was quick," he said gleefully.

"No," I said, sighing. "He.. he told me he still loves me."

"We've established that before," Draco said. "So did he break it off or not? Because then we can end this mock-relationship."

"Why, is it hindering you so much?" I said sarcastically.

"Love, I don't even get to go out to meet real women anymore!" he whined. I laughed.

"But.. Blaise said he didn't. End it with Daphne, I mean."

"Why didn't he? Oh yeah.." Draco mumbled.

"Yes?" My ears perked. "Can you tell me just why he just can't break it off with Daphne to be with me if that's what he wants so much?"

Draco sighed.

"You won't like it, but.."

"You know I won't stop until I get answers," I said, shrugging even though he couldn't see.

He sighed again.

"Blaise.. he and Daphne got together as a rebound, you remember? As we all know, she's an absolute perfect specimen, which is making it hard for him to end it. I sometimes feel bad for Daphne because he's trying to find something wrong with her so he could break up with her, though she doesn't know it. And.. Daphne's parents died in the war, so Blaise just doesn't want to leave her yet. He's worried she might do something nutters."

"They've been friends since way back, right?" I asked. "If Blaise knew the risk he was taking with asking her out, then why did he in the first place?"

"Because she's similar to you, sort of the Slytherin version of you," Draco said lightly. "Though she spends more time with human beings than books. And he thought she would piss you off so much."

"Ha ha ha," I said, rolling my eyes. "Anyway, thank you for the information, now I can go to sleep. But what about our plan?"

"Well if he took a drastic measure, it's our turn now." I could just hear the smirk.

"What do you mean?"

"Put it this way, starting at seventh year. He kept asking you out, you kept saying no. I flirted with you, you sort of flirted back- Blaise snapped and asked Daphne out. You went out with Weasley, and Blaise kept visiting Daphne in Majorca. Coming back to England, we had dinner, and Blaise was with Daphne. Soon after, you had pushed her down the stairs. He went to your flat and yelled at you, and we went to Italy. Blaise found out and proposed to Daphne. When we came back, you prettied yourself up, and I joked about being your boyfriend. Blaise beat me up, and then we devised the plan. He said he loves you- so now it's our turn to make a move."

"Wow," I finally said. "I can't believe how succinct you made it to be. So we've been playing this.. complicated game of chess all along?"

"Sort of, yes," he shrugged. "I told you I was smart."

"Not the smartest though," I smirked. "So what do we do now?"

"Well, we've been out long enough for a certain someone to take notice.. why not give her something more to work on?"

I thought I had heard 'her', but I didn't ponder it. It was most likely Blaise, and he had made a mistake.

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

"Now's not the time, I'll visit you later and we can talk then," Draco said, yawning. "Now thanks to you I will get up, looking wasted instead of the perfection I am and should look like."

"You're welcome, goodnight!" I said, hanging up.

So that was why.. and why Draco wanted to help Blaise.

What did he have planned for us?

I turned onto my side to sleep, feeling a little niggle.

Ain't another woman that can take your spot my-

If I wrote you a symphony,
Just to say how much you mean to me (what would you do?)
If I told you you were beautiful
Would you date me on the regular (tell me, would you?)
Well, baby I've been around the world
But I ain't seen myself another girl (like you)
This ring here represents my heart
But there's just one thing I need from you (say "I do")

Draco and I were walking along the beach, watching the waves crash against the shore. I had taken off my heels and was holding them by the heels' slingbacks, leaning against Draco, who had his arm around my waist.

Yeah, because
I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the countryside
Sitting on the grass, laying side by side
You could be my baby, let me make you my lady
Girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothing crazy
See, all I want you to do is be my love
(So don't give away) My love
(So don't give away) My love
(So don't give away) Ain't another woman that can take your spot, my love
(So don't give away) My love
(So don't give away) My love
(So don't give away) Ain't another woman that can take your spot, my love

Ooooh, girl
My love
My love

We had stopped at one area that had a fallen tree trunk; I sat down, and Draco did after a few minutes of pacing in the sand. It was typical of him to not take off his expensive shoes, even at the beach. He did have an appearance to keep up, however absurd it was.

Now, if I wrote you a love note
And made you smile with every word I wrote (what would you do?)
Would that make you want to change your scene
And wanna be the one on my team (tell me, would you?)
See, what's the point of waiting anymore?
Cause girl I've never been more sure (that baby, it's you)
This ring here represents my heart
And everything that you've been waiting for (just say "I do")

"Love?" he asked me while we were looking out at the moon's reflection in the water. I leaned my head against his shoulder. "Hm?"

Wondering why he got quiet, I turned to face him. What I saw shocked me.

Ooooh, girl
My love
My love

It was a ring. Not just any ring, but an engagement ring.

I know this was just a plan, and that I told Draco to just get the cheap kind with the fake stones- but I guess I should have known he would get only the best.

"Draco," I gasped. "It's lovely."

Shorty, cool as a fan
On the new once again
Still has fan from Peru to Japan
Listen baby, I don't wanna ruin your plan
If you got a man, try to lose him if you can
Cause your girls real wild through your hands up high
Wanna come kick it wit a stand up guy
You don't really wanna let the chance go by
Because you ain't been seen wit a man so fly
Friend so fly i can go fly
Private, cause I handle mine
Call me candle guy, simply because I am on fire
I hate to have to cancel my vacation so you can't deny
I'm patient, but I ain't gonna try
You don't come, I ain't gonna die
Hold up, what you mean, you can't go why?
Me and you boyfriend we ain't no tie
You say you wanna kick it with an ace so high
Baby, you decide that I ain't your guy
Ain't gon lie ,Me in your space
But forget your face, I swear I will
Same mark, same bullet anywhere I chill
Just bring wit me a pair, I will

Which it was; it had a 3 carat princess cut diamond set, with 5 round stones on each side. The shank of the ring was engraved. I think I forgot to breathe as I looked at it.

I looked at him; he had this glint in his eyes that said, 'Please say yes- the stalker is here!'

Slightly smiling, I said a soft "yes".

I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the countryside
Sitting on the grass, laying side by side
You could be my baby, let me make you my lady
Girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothing crazy
See, all I want you to do is be my love
(Love) My love
(Love) My love
(Love) Ain't another woman that can take your spot, my love
(Love) My love
(Love) My love
(Love) Ain't another woman that can take your spot, my love

Ooooh, girl
My love

My love

He beamed before slipping the ring on my finger and leaning in to kiss me.

Hm..

I have to say, Draco isn't a bad kisser.

I broke away after that soft, but lingering kiss that was convincing enough for the stalker, and smiled at him.

"Thank you," I whispered. I do suppose he knew what that meant, didn't he?

"You're welcome," he said simply.

Yes, he knew what I meant.

I hope Draco falls in love with the perfect woman, because he is just too.. sweet, doing this for Blaise and I.
