No matter what, she had to tell them. Exams were the week after the match, so everyone being busy studying bought Eve a little time. That Friday, Harry and Draco received owls from Eve; asking them to meet her at her secret place in the forbidden forest. They both knew where it was, it was a little area under a tree with hanging ivy shielding it from view, she went there often to think. One could see out of it, but couldn't see what was going on within. Draco was to be there at 4:30, while Harry was to be there at 5:00.
At about 4:25, Eve could see the silver of Draco's hair making it's way toward her.
"Hey" he said as he pushed away the ivy.
"Hey" she answered, "we need to talk.about us." she opened her mouth to continue, but Draco held up his hand to stop her.
"It's okay, I already know.you chose Potter." He chuckled at her mouth hanging open in surprise and he gently shut it for her. "I happened to come to just as you made your decision about us."
Eve seemed to have regained her ability to use her mouth and said, "I didn't want you to find out like that."
"It was probably better that way, I've had time to get over it and everything, and now I'm ready to congratulate the two of you. I'll take my leave, now."
He turned to go, but she stopped him.
"Draco, wait."
He turned and she jumped into his arms and hugged him with all her might. He hugged her back with the same feeling and emotion as she had for him, if not more.
"I don't want to lose you as a friend" she said into his shirt.
"I'll always be there for you." He took her face into his hands, "if Potter does anything to you, anything at all, I'll protect you. Physically or emotionally, don't hesitate to talk to me."
She nodded and they hugged again. They parted and she kissed him on the cheek.
"I want to give you something, so you'll have something to remember me by." She said as she picked up a box about 5" long and 8" wide, wrapped in brown paper and tied up with string.
"Open it when you're alone." With a last hug, he walked off.

Draco hadn't been gone long when Harry hugged Eve from behind.
"Hey" she said, relaxing in his arms.
"Hey" he answered, kissing her hair.
"I've made my decision, I just told Draco" she said, turning around to face him, "I choose you." His face spread into a toothy grin, "Really?"
"Yes, I want you to be the one to hold me, the one to kiss me, the one to be my boyfriend." She said as he enveloped her in his arms. For the first time in a long time, she felt truly happy and content. With her head against his chest, again, she could hear his heart beating through his shirt.

Draco pulled the curtains around his bed and pulled the box onto his lap. He unwrapped a dark purple box, bewitched to look like a starry sky with carvings of flowers and music notes. A shiny nameplate read: Eve Christine Green, in flowing script. He unlatched the latch and opened the box. The interior was pink satin, but there was so much in the box, that it wasn't very distinguishable. Lining the inside lid of it were the words to her favorite songs and a poem (Amazed by Lonestar, My Star by Tabby [a friend of mine], a Thousand Miles and Ordinary Day by Vanessa Carlton, and Love this Way by Eden's Crush). Inside the actual box was a pouch with a small replica of everything she used on an everyday basis: her strawberry lip gloss, gold eye shadow, glitter, a sample of her shampoo, her body wash, hand lotion and perfume. Also in the box was a small bouquet of daisy's and lily's (including some from the bouquet he had given her at the beginning of the year). A tape of all her favorite songs, a list of her favorite things, and another list of all the things she wanted to do before she died [A/N: I got the idea from A Walk to Remember].
Besides all that, there was a very small sterling silver box. Inside were replicas of her jewelry: her pink ice and opal necklace that usually graced her neck, an amethyst ring (her birth stone), and a few other trinkets, but the thing that caught his attention the most was.the emerald and silver ring with the Slytherin snake he had given her for Christmas.
* * * At dinner that evening, Draco made his way over to the Gryffindor table. "Eve" he said, tapping her on the shoulder and sitting down in the empty seat beside her. "Thank you for the box, " she grinned at him, "But I want you to keep this." He held out the ring. "To remember me by."
"Thank you" she said, taking the ring and examining it as he walked back to the Slytherin table. She smiled to herself as she read the inscription on the inside: I will always love you, D.M. '02.
