Chapter 17. A mark of love

"Hurry, my dorm is closer we'll get their sooner!" Hermione screamed over the top of wails and cries coming from those in the great hall being tortured hoping that none of the wails belonged to Harry or Draco.

"Mione what's the password?" Ron asked in a hurried voice

"Luxure" she muttered at the portrait of a lion, serpent and a young man

"What on earth does that mean girl?" Lavender asked

"It's French for lust"

"How convenient" Ginny said through muffled sobs as they entered the marvellously furnished dorm.

"Gin he'll be fine" Ron assured his little sister as he sat down next to his girlfriend

"Ron how can you be sure? I mean the asshole of a father that is Lucius 'I beat my son' Malfoy is out there. How can you be sure that Harry and my boyfriend Draco, the love of my life are not down there getting hurt? Or even worse killed!" Hermione yelled as she sat down.

"Because we're right here, Hermione" Draco said as he entered the door without Harry "Well at least I am"

"Draco where is Harry?" Ginny asked kind of worried

"Virginia Ophelia Weasley you really think that the love of your life is gunna go to bed without dinner?" they all looked around to see Harry entering the room via the heads kitchens with his arms jam-packed with food

"Harry!" Ginny ran into his arms after he put down the food "Your ok" he kissed her soft, sill elegant lips

"Guys as happy as I am to see my best mate and my other best friends boyfriend, how the hell did you get up here without anyone noticing?" Ron asked the both of them

Draco pulled his silver and green silk 'belt' of from around his waist and opened it out fully to reveal another invisibility cloak.

"We snuck up here when most of the fighting had died down, and when both Hugh and Lucius had been knocked out" he replied as Hermione examined the cloak

"Its so beautiful. Was Vol." Ron winched "sorry Ron, was He-Who-Must-Not-Be- Named there, Draco"

"Don't worry, Mione, it was only his Death Eaters" Harry answered for him "I don't think he'll come and try to kill me again. Not with one of my friends being the son of a Death Eater. Not this year at least"

Just then someone uninvited entered the room

"Pansy! Crabbe! Goyle! What, the fuck are you doing here?" Draco screamed "and how the fuck did you get into my dorm?"

"Invisibility cloak. Heard you mutter 'Luxure'. Be careful."

A cold voice interrupted her with "Avada Kedavra"

But before they had time to realize that she was there, there was a flash of blinding green light and a rushing sound heading straight for Draco.

"Draco! No!" Pansy ran in front of him and got hit with the killing curse

"Well, son, it seems as though you have, had an admirer. She saved you, therefore I can't kill you. Yet. Goodbye Draco"

And with that his father left

"Oh my god P. Pan. Pansy saved my life, with her own life" Draco said as he kneeled down next to her

"Draco, sweetie, lets go tell Dumbledore, he'll know what to do" Hermione said as he knelt down and tried to pick him up "Sweetie please"

"Draco." Harry pipped up, Draco looked at him he saw Ginny was at his side holding his arm, very scared "Do you know if she loved you?"

"She loved me with all her heart. Didn't she guys?" he looked at Crabbe and Goyle. The two just nodded "She would never let it go. She saved me."

"Draco, my mother loved me with all her heart, when she died, protecting me, she left a mark." Draco's eyes moved to his scar "no, not my scar, a mark of love, Voldemort couldn't touch me until he took my blood in fourth year, until your father takes your blood he cant touch you."

"Why?" Draco asked confusion spreading across his face like a wild fire

"Because, like you said, Pansy loved you, she left a mark of love, on you"
