A/N: I hope you enjoy the chapter. I won't be updating until probably
Friday night. Also, I hope that you all like Sum 41.
I had just set down my bags when I licked my door and pulled out the box Draco gave me. I checked one last time to make sure no one was around. I carefully stared at the box. It was a small, black wooden box with a silver dragon on the lid. It had a lock on it and a key tapped to the bottom. I took the key and unlocked the box. There were a few items in it. The first was a book titled How to Survive Without Your Boyfriend. I laughed upon seeing it. There was a picture of us playing in the fall. We were playing in the leaves. He was tickling my sides. There was a letter.
Hey Gwen, I miss you already. I hope you like the gifts. I know you like simple stuff. You may want to read the book. It will help you get through this long period of time without me. The picture is so when you miss me and get lonely and miss me, you will always have me with you. I hope you like the necklace. I know your birthday is in February, so I had the eyes made of amethyst instead of sapphires. Last of all, That is our source of communication. I can write to you. It is a book. Spelled so that I can communicate with you. I hope you like all this.
Love, Your Extremely Handsome and Adorable Boyfriend Draco
I laughed at his letter and looked at the other two items he had mentioned. The first one was a necklace. It was of a small silver dragon. It had amethyst eyes. Its claws were outstretched and it's wings spread. I figured all the dragon stuff was a symbol of him. Since his name means dragon.
The book also had a dragon. It was breathing fire. The dragon was silver, and the binding was black. It had several hundred pages. I grabbed a pen off my desk and decided to write to him.
Hey Love, I got the letter. That stuff was very sweet. I take it the dragon is a symbol of your name?
I wrote, expecting it to end there and not get anything back from him for a few hours.
You're right, as usual. I want the world to know you are mine. You're mine and I'm yours.
Funny boy. I would love to continue to write, but I have chores to do. I'll write later, and I'll send an owl. By the way, I'll ask my mom to see if I can visit.
I hope you can. I'll be waiting for your message!
Bye Draco.

That night at dinner, I decided to ask my mom if I could visit. I wanted to see him badly. It was the perfect time to ask. My father wasn't home!
"So how was your year girls?" Mom asked.
"Great! We made a lot of friends, and Gwen got a boyfriend." Misti giggled.
"Oh really? Who?" Mom asked curiously.
"Draco Malfoy." I replied.
"You mean Lucious Malfoy's son?" My mother asked with a slight shudder.
"Yes. I was wondering, can I see him in a few weeks?" I asked.
"Honey, I don't think it's a good idea to be going to a boys house by yourself." She sighed.
"But mom, I won't be alone! Misti is going too. And his cousin Amanda will be staying with them all summer." I continued.
"Fine, find out when they want you over and I'll speak with your father." She shook her head in defeat.
"Thanks mom!" I smiled as I left for my room.
I closed the door and pulled out a black notepad and silver gel pens. I decided to send Draco an owl.
Hey Draco,
I just talked to my mom and she said we could visit you. All we need to know is when you want us over. I'd wait at least two weeks just for good measure. It would be wiser. I'll be waiting for your reply.
Love,
Gwen
I sent the letter off with my owl Nicoletta. I got the name from a book I read. After letting her out, I plopped onto my bed and started singing my favorite song from my newest CD.
So am I still waiting for this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason, can't find hope to believe in Drop dead a bullet to y head Your words are like a gun in hand
I thought about all the hatred around me. Misti and Amanda weren't going to get better any time soon.
You can't change the state of the nation we just need some Some motivation These eyes have seen no conviction Just lies and more contradiction
I felt the hurt I felt when I hear people talking about others from other houses. I especially hated the way people hated Slytherins.
So tell me what would you say I'd say its time too late So am I still waiting for this world to stop hating Can't find a good reason, can't find hope to believe in
I no longer hated Hufflepuffs. I never actually hated them, but the thought if the name Hufflepuff irritated me.
Ignorance and Understanding We're the first ones to jump in line Out of step for what we believe in but who's left to stop the bleeding How far will we take this
I didn't like the look my mom made when she found out my boyfriend was in Slytherin. Especially when she shuddered at his name.
It's not hard to see through the fakeness So tell me what would you say I' say its time too late So am I still waiting for this world to stop hating
I felt sad, and sorry people were this way. It is wrong.
Can't find a good reason to believe, can't find hope to believe in This can't last forever Time won't make things better I feel so alone,
Things were rough on everyone. I felt sorry for Draco. His terrible abusing father. Watching people get beaten and hurt, the way his father treated them.
Can't help myself No one knows if this is worthless Tell me What have we done with a war that can't be won This can't be the real cause I don't know what to feel
I never ever wanted to do anything like that to hurt anyone. I never wanted to ever see any of it.
So am I still waiting for this world to stop hating Can't find a good reason, can't find hope to believe in So an I still waiting for this world to stop hating Can't find a good reason, cant find hope to believe in

Draco's POV
In Malfoy Manor, in his room, Draco Malfoy was singing the same song. He had similar thoughts.
He was waiting on his bed, bored and tired, for something to happen. Waiting to hear his mother's cry, his father's shouts, Amanda bursting into his room in tears. It was all bound to happen soon.
"You filthy little bitch! How dare you speak to in such a manor!" His father shouted.
"Lucious, I'm tired of this. I'm scared. I know what those people do. I don't want my baby to be a part of it! I will not have it!" His mother yelled back with a quavering voice.
"He will join us! I guarantee it! You have no say in this. The only reason you are still here is because your son loves you. I should have killed you long ago." He growled.
Draco flinched as he heard the sound of his mother being beaten. It sounded much worse then he had ever remembered it sounding. Amanda quickly opened and closed the door. Tears streaming down her cheeks she crawled onto his bed.
"When is it going to stop?" She whimpered.
"I don't know. I hope soon." He whispered.
"Every year he gets worse. I don't want to be a part of it." She hissed.
"We won't be a part of it." He patted her back.
The noise downstairs grew quieter. Then it became silent. The only sound was the silent snores of his companion beside him.
He stared out the window, and into the starry sky. It was so beautiful and peaceful. An owl flew into view and tapped on the glass.
Draco opened the window to see Nicoletta, his girlfriend's owl. He smiled the only smile he'd made that day. The paper on the owl's leg was black. It was probably from one of Gwen's many different notepads.
He read the paper and ran downstairs in excitement. Clutching the paper in his hands he knocked on the door to Lucious's office.
"Come in." Came the voice inside.
"Father, I got a reply from Gwen. She and her sister will be able to visit. When would you like them over?" He asked softly.
"When's the soonest they can make it?" Lucious set down his papers.
"Two weeks." He responded.
"Invite them over in two weeks. They can stay for two weeks." Lucious nodded.
"Father, please don't do anything while they are here." Draco pleaded.
"I won't. I don't want to scare these little girls. Do they know what you are? Do they know you will become a deatheater?" Lucious asked.
"No, not yet." Draco lied.
"And why is that?" Lucious arched his eyebrows.
"I don't want to scare her so early. I want to make sure she really loves me and won't leave me no matter what. Then I'll tell her, and possibly persuade her to join us." He came up with a quick excuse.
"That is quite clever, I hadn't even thought about that." He smirked.
"Thank you sir." Draco forced a smiled.
"Is that all? You may leave now. I have things to do." Lucious pushed his on out the door.
I had just set down my bags when I licked my door and pulled out the box Draco gave me. I checked one last time to make sure no one was around. I carefully stared at the box. It was a small, black wooden box with a silver dragon on the lid. It had a lock on it and a key tapped to the bottom. I took the key and unlocked the box. There were a few items in it.
