" Weasley, Granger… Could I talk to you for a second?"
******
Malfoy played with his robes for comfort as he watched the reaction of the two lovebirds staring at him dumbly. Ron looks shock. Hermione just raised an eyebrow, confused.
That was also the same reaction coming from Harry and Tom who were clinging on to him, though Harry has the shocking look one.
"What is it, Malfoy?" Hermione asked, for Ron was too busy gaping at him in shock to even make a sound. Considering the fact that Malfoy's always say that they have no time speaking to people like the Weasleys.
"U-um… Could we—could we talk to somewhere more private… It's a bit of a secret…" He said uncomfortably while still fiddling with his robes. He knew that Harry was staring at him.
"Umm… sure… I guess… do you mind, Harry?" Hermione asked, looking over at Harry.
Harry only nodded, to hard to speak because Tom's arm was gripping his throat tightly. In fact, It seems that Harry's face was turning purple for the lack of oxygen.
"Stop strangling him, you git! You'll kill him!" Malfoy thought furiously.
"Uh… Tom, I think you should let go of Harry… your choking him." Hermione complied, pointing at the purplish- faced boy who was trying hard to struggle off of his death grip.
"Oh--!" Tom let go immediately of Harry, who was much to the other boy's relief.
"Good thing the mudblood's bright…" Draco said to himself, sighing in relief. " Umm…shall we go?" he asked.
"Oh yes, of course…come along Ron" Hermione said, pulling Ron by the collar who was still in the rate of shock as they began to walk towards the castle, along with Draco Malfoy.
******
" Wonder what they'll be talking about…" Harry muttered, staring at the direction where Hermione, Ron , and Malfoy had long gone to.
" Harry, want to do something while they're gone?" Tom asked mischievously.
"Hrm…" Harry replied, still dazed, thinking of a certain blonde Slytherin.
Tom frowned at this, he knew who he was thinking, and he knew who he always dreams about, for Lord Voldemort always knows.
His golden Gryffindor is in love with Lucius Malfoy's son.
He scowled, building up a bad mood; he'll do anything to make Harry his', even by means of force…
Voldemort does not share…
Voldemort does not give…
Harry's his'…
No one else…
" Your mine…"*******
"YOU WHAT!!!!???"
Malfoy's face burrowed down, looking towards the ground as he tried hard to hide the blush that was forming on his already red face. Hermione was still gaping at him, jaws dropped, bobbling open and close like a fish in a tank.
Ron found the news not quite surprising.
Hermione looks like as thought she was about to faint.
Having Malfoy wanting to speak to them of all the people was shocking enough as it is; But Malfoy falling in love with their best friend!? That'll 'cause her a heart attack!
She tried to look calm like she always does when in front of other people, but she now found it hard to keep considering the fact that their arch enemy DRACO MALFOY is in LOVE with their best friend HARRY POTTER!
"just as I thought…" Ron said calmly.
"Am I that obvious?" Draco asked shyly, still trying to avoid the two lover's gazes.
" Ron! I'm surprised at you! You knew it all along and you haven't even told me!?" Hermione outraged.
"Hey! It's their private life, not ours. I should at least keep it a secret."
"Weasley's not bad after all…" Draco thought.
" I guess your right…" agreed Hermione. Turning back to Draco, she said," So what you mean to say is, you ask us for a truce so that we can help you win the heart of our best friend?"
Smart girl." Yeeesss… something like that…" he said.
"Fine…" said Hermione," We acce—"
" But only in one condition" Ron interrupted.
" What's that?" Malfoy asked.
Ron's face was serious, with a kind of determined look on his face, " That you will never hurt Harry whatever happens… if you ever do hurt him physically or emotionally, I will not even hesitate into killing you… even if it means spending the rest of my life locked prison in Azkaban…" he faced hard on him.
"Ron!" said Hermione, a worried look on her face.
" Don't bother me Hermione, I know what I'm doing…" he murmured, not leaving his gaze on the Slytherin seeker.
For a moment they just stood there, not leaving each other's sight.
They spent half their time in silence; neither moved nor made a sound except for the fast breathing of Hermione.
Draco studied his face for a moment; he was serious… his eyes tells it all…
It was blazing with determination and care for his friend, no doubt he will do what he had just said.
Their friendship was too strong…
After for about a few minutes, Draco slowly nodded, " I promise, I won't hurt him… I can't… I could never… I love him…" He whispered, his gray eyes half-open and mist as he look straight into Ron's blue ones.
Hermione sighed in relief as Ron then nodded in approval.
" Your words are enough… I can tell…" said Ron, a smile forming his lips.
He held out his hand, "Welcome to the group, mate"
Malfoy smiled back, taking his hands and shook it.
" Though we may have a little bit of a problem with Sweyn, though," Hermione said suddenly, " You've noticed, of course, that he's been flirting with Harry from the moment he laid his eyes on him…"
" Yeah… I know, I spend whole of my three weeks in pure torture… I found it quite disbelieving I still survived until this day…" said Draco grimly.
"Well don't worry mate!" Ron said cheerfully as he patted Draco's back encouragingly, " Now were here for you!"
"Yeah, don't worry" Hermione smiled at him reassuringly.
"Thank you..." he said.
" Now for plan A…" Ron smirked deviously.

He was here again, at the loneliness of darkness that has now enveloped him…Screams were once again heard…
And his scar has yet to burn painfully,
As thought it was the feeling of the person who was heard screeching in vain…
The man with the silver orbs had then made his appearance,
As then he was always there when he needs it's comfort…
He was still hooded,
Yet he could see a smile forming from the man's lips…
Even from the pit of darkness…
As thought light emerge from the silhouette…
Just looking at the figure had then warmth up his body…
Life ensuring…
He felt the man near him…
And looked up…
He was then gathered into a loving embrace,
The fragrance of lilies gathering around him…
He felt the man's lips pressed against his forehead…
Ceasing the pain that he was feeling…
But then…
He tasted blood…
"You are mine…."
*******
"Aaahh!" he bolted up into a sitting position, tears streaming down his face without knowing why he even was crying.
It was that dream again… the man with the silver eyes, the one with the scarlet… darkness…. Pain…screams…
He couldn't escape it. He couldn't.
He tried wiping off the tears, but more had come flowing like a waterfall…
He needed comfort, someone to lean on to…
But how could he if that one person who he dear mostly cannot be reached between his grasp.
If that one person seems impossible to love him back.
He was all alone…
Everybody seems to find what they're looking for… so why can't he?
Maybe this is a price for being famous… or maybe the world is just unfair…
He didn't know what to do… nor what to do with his life anymore…
He just wanted to drift off into an endless dream… just him and the man with the silver orbs… wrapped up in a warm embrace…not letting go…
Inhaling his scent of lilies… feeling of being cared and love just like a mother would…
But then, all fantasies never last… for these comes a nightmare…
Who was the man with those piercing red eyes? Harry thought. And what does he want from him…
He observed his surroundings: blurry.
He didn't have his glasses on, and what he could just see was the blotchy outline of the boy's dormitory. He looked over towards the three other beds that was of his other companions, and could make a picture that they were still there sleeping soundly.
He reach over the bedside table to retrieve his glasses, but what his hand laid on was a feeling of some kind of paper.
He finally found his glasses and put them on quickly.
The paper his hand laid on was an envelope, colored in creamy peach. It was labeled with his name written on the back using emerald ink. The handwriting quite unfamiliar to him, though the sender's writing was made beautifully.
He opened the envelope, suddenly making the whole room enveloped with the fragrance of…
"Lilies…"
TBC…
