This is a lot of fluff and a lot of things that all of us girls dream about that will probably never happen. Hope that you enjoy!
As soon as they got back together, Echo and Draco spent as much time as they could together. Echo finally decided to quit her job at the Ministry. Draco knew that he only had to see Quidditch games and since he got free tickets, took Echo with him. They made fun bets to see who was going to win or lose. Echo wasn't a real Quidditch fan so if Draco was sick of trying to explain it to her, she'd make him laugh with her own fun commentary. Echo made him feel more at ease wherever they were. She was serious whenever she needed to be and was everything he needed in a girl. Echo would come over to the Malfoy Manor every Sunday to have a big dinner with Narcissa and Draco.
They would sit, eat, drink and talk for hours. Narcissa had taken her husband's death extremely well. She realized that Lucius was on the wrong side as soon as they had tried to pull Draco into it. Narcissa secretly hoped that Draco and Echo would get engaged soon. It was after one of these dinners when Narcissa brought it up. Echo had just kissed them all goodbye when Narcissa rounded up on her son. "My dear boy," Narcissa said calmly "if you don't ask her to marry you soon, someone else will." Draco rolled his eyes and made his way back to the kitchen with Narcissa in pursuit.
"I am dead serious, Draco. That girl needs you to commit to her fully. I don't want you to be like your father and marry with several mistresses on the side but at the same time…"
"Okay, too much information on that last one." Draco chuckled as he started to finish off the pan of brownies in front of him as the house elves busily worked around them.
"Draco, Echo has had a tough life. She is still dealing with her species issue as well as wanting someone constantly there to love her. She is so good for you and you need to treat her right and propose soon!" Narcissa said, tossing her white blonde hair frustrated by her son's nonchalant attitude. Draco grinned at his tiny mother and bent down and kissed her cheek.
"Who says I haven't thought about it?" Draco said winking. He took the plate with him as he left his mother stunned in the kitchen.
Echo smiled as she entered her apartment. Draco was going to come over as soon as Narcissa went to sleep and she couldn't wait. She was a little shocked from dinner that night to say the least. Narcissa had commented on how beautiful their children would look, making Echo choke, Draco smirk and Echo blush even more profusely when Draco looked at her. She was making tea when she heard the tiny pop of his arrival. Echo giggled as she felt his arms go around her. He kissed her neck tenderly. "Hey" he whispered huskily.
"Hey, yourself" Echo whispered, turning around and giving him a kiss on the lips. He put his hands on her waist, prolonging the kiss happily. The broke the kiss and Draco smoothed the hair out of her face. "So I was thinking that we could watch the stairs tonight on the roof." Echo said, putting her hand in his shyly as she finished with the tea. He kissed her hand gently.
"Sounds perfect" He said innocently. Echo poured the tea into two mugs and then turned and looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"What did you do?" Echo asked smiling.
"Nothing" Draco said smirking.
"Smile don't smirk!" Echo said grinning as she handed him his mug.
"Yes, Ms. Gaston" Draco said, kissing her forehead. They held hands as they silently made their way up to the roof from the colorful stairs in Echo's living room. When they got up, Echo gasped. Around the entire roof were about three stands of lights. There were also candles leading to a heavy mattress that was covered with blankets and pillows. She turned around and looked at him opened mouth.
"When did you do this?"
"When you were out with my mother" Draco said putting his arms around her. "Do you like it?" He asked worriedly.
"I love it" Echo said softly. "Thank you" she said, kissing his lips soundly. They walked over to the mattress and sat on it. Draco put one of the flannel blankets around her shoulders and she sat, leaning into him. They sat in silence just dwelling in how big the stars looked.
"The full moon is out tonight" Draco observed as Echo instinctively tensed in his arms.
"Yeah" Echo said quietly.
"Could I…I mean…if you're ready…" Draco struggled for words.
"Do you want to see me transform?" Echo asked so silently that he had to lean towards her to hear her.
"Yes, but only if you want to" Draco said, babbling, hoping that she wouldn't be mad at him. She played with the necklace that Draco had given her back when they had gotten back together. "I'm sorry that I asked…"
"I am not," Echo whispered, smiling broadly "I'll show you." She untangled himself from his arms and stood. He looked at her concerned. Echo smiled encouragingly. Slowly she began to morph into a beautiful jet black wolf. She was beautiful with her ice blue eyes and jet black fur. She slowly walked over to him and looked at him. You can pet me if you want, Echo said telepathically, feeling slightly stupid. Draco jumped since Echo hadn't used her powers in awhile. Draco lifted his hand and stroked her soft fur. With one motion, Echo changed back.
"You're so beautiful" Draco said smiling. Echo relaxed visibly and lay down on his lap. He brushed her hair out of her face.
"I love you, Echo" Draco whispered hoarsely.
"I love you too" Echo said as he put the blanket over her. She closed her eyes and he kissed her eyelids, looking up at the sky.
"Thank you for letting me see"
"Thank you for letting me show you" Echo said, putting his hand in hers.
"Echo, I have a question for you" Draco said seriously.
"What's that?"
"Will you marry me?"
What do you think she'll say?
