Chapter 17

And when you say

it doesn't matter

well it does

and all it takes is a mistake

to eat your words

Tegan and Draco entered Hogwarts and Tegan looked at Draco concerned. He hadn't said anything to her except before there train ride. Draco walked ahead of her a little and she knew he was ignoring her. Why did he always ignore her when he didn't want to show his feelings? It's not like she would laugh at him for being human.

" Draco" Tegan said as he stopped walking and looked at her.

" Yeah?" Draco asked as he looked down at the ground and Tegan sighed.

" I'm going to talk to Harry for a second. Will you be alright?" Tegan asked as Draco shrugged.

" Sure, I'll see you later" Draco said as he kissed her cheek quickly and continued walking to the Slytherin common room. Tegan watched sadly as Draco walked away and made her way to the Gryffindor common room. The fat lady looked at her as she smiled and Tegan could only suppress a small smile.

"Can you please get Harry for me, it's important" Tegan said.

" Sure dear. Hold on one second" The fat lady said as she disappeared from her portrait. A minute later the portrait hole opened and Harry came out.

" You're back early" Harry said as Tegan only nodded and they walked into the Gryffindor common room.

" What happened that you're back so early?" Harry asked as Tegan sat down at the table and explained about the recent events at Malfoy Manor.

" Lucius has always been an ass. I've met him a few times myself" Harry said.

" Yeah, I heard about that but I'm worried about Draco" Tegan said as Harry shrugged.

" Well he's probably upset. How would you feel if you lost your family in a blink of an eye?" Harry asked suddenly regretting it.

" To tell you the truth, I wouldn't it mind if I lost my family. Or at least my mother that but I know what you mean" Tegan said as Harry only nodded.

" Maybe you should talk to him" Harry said as Tegan shrugged.

" I guess but sometimes I feel like I keep on starting back at the beggining with him" Tegan said as she sighed. The common room door opened as Ginny Weasley walked inside smiling.

" Hello Ginny" Tegan said as Ginny waved to her.

" Hi Tegan, Hello Harry" Ginny said her smile brightening as she looked at Harry. Harry smiled back at Ginny and Tegan could tell something was up with the two.

" Hello Ginny" Harry said as he watched her walk into the girls dormitory. His eyes lingered there before his attention turned back to Tegan.

" What's going on between you two" Tegan asked smiling and Harry blushed slightly.

" We're dating" Harry said and Tegan clapped her hands together excitedly.

" That's so cute. I always thought you two would be cute together" Tegan said as Harry laughed.

" Thanks" Harry said as Tegan smiled and stood up.

" Well I should go back to my common room and talk to Draco" Tegan said.

" Yeah but before you go can I asked you something?" Harry asked as Tegan nodded.

" Sure, what's up?" Tegan asked.

" Well I'm having a problem with potions and I was wondering if you could help me" Harry said as Tegan shook her head.

" I'm sorry Harry but potions isn't my best subject either. I could talk to Draco about it though. Maybe he could help you" Tegan said as Harry shrugged.

" I'll hold on my breath on that one but O.K." Harry said as Tegan smiled.

" I'll get back to you tomorrow ok?" Tegan asked as Harry nodded. They said there goodbyes and Tegan made her way to her and Draco's room. When she walked in she saw that Draco had fallen asleep on top of the covers and smiled to herself. She got ready for bed and then magically pulled the covers out from under Draco gently not to wake him up. She got into bed next to him and pulled the covers over them. Tegan snuggled up to Draco and he put his arms around her automatically.

" I love you" Tegan said as she closed her eyes and dreamed.

*~*~*~*~*~*~ Tegan's Dream *~*~*~*~*~*

Tegan looked around and saw that she was at Malfoy Manor once again. She walked up the stairs hesitantly and noticed that no one else was in the house. Why would she be at Malfoy Manor alone? She looked down the hallway at Draco's bedroom and noticed the light was on. She walked down the hall and opened the door. The light had turned off suddenly and now she was all alone in the dark. The door slammed behind her and Tegan turned around quickly. She saw a shadow move toward her and reached for her want in her robe but it wasn't there.

" Scared Tegan?" Draco whispered in her ear. Tegan tensed up, this wasn't Draco. Something was wrong with him. Tegan turned around and he moved away from her back into the darkness.

" Draco?" Tegan called out as she turned around again.

" You wrecked my family" Draco said and it echoed through the room. Tegan looked around trying to where Draco was. Why was he so mad?

" You brainwashed me. Do you know how much that hurts? I thought you loved me!" Draco yelled and his words echoed through the room once again.

" I do love you Draco" Tegan said as the windows opened suddenly and violent winds made there way into the room. Tegan shivered as the wind made its way past her skin.

" No one hurts a Malfoy and gets away with it" Draco said as Tegan saw him come into view in front of a window. He walked towards her and Tegan noticed that Draco was slowly turning into Lucius.

" No one hurts a Malfoy and gets away with it" Lucius said as he pulled out his wand. Tegan backed away towards the door and tried to open it. Lucius pointed his wand at Tegan and she slid down to the floor.

" Avada Kedavra!" Lucius bellowed as a green light flew at Tegan and she screamed.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" Tegan wake up" Draco said as Tegan opened her eyes. She looked up at Draco and hugged him.

" I'm sorry Draco. I never meant for this too happen" Tegan said as Draco put his arms around her.

" What do you mean? What didn't you want too happen?" Draco asked as Tegan looked up at him.

" In my dream you said that I wrecked your family and that I didn't love you. Then you turned into your father and he tried to put a curse on me" Tegan said as Draco kissed her forehead.

" I would never say that because it isn't true and I would never ever let my father hurt you" Draco said as Tegan sat there in his arms for a moment.

" Are you ok from last night? You seemed like you wanted to shut me out" Tegan said as Draco nodded.

" I'm fine I just needed to think and I was mad" Draco said as Tegan nodded.

" Do you want to go to breakfast?" Tegan asked as Draco shrugged.

" I could think of better things to do" Draco said as Tegan smiled and rolled her eyes.

" Come on let's go to breakfast. I have to meet up with Harry anyways" Tegan said as she stood up and Draco rolled his eyes.

" Ok fine fine. Go meet up with Potter" Draco said as Tegan smiled.

" Actually we both are" Tegan said as Draco stood up.

" What do you mean we both are?" Draco asked as Tegan smiled at him and put her arms around his neck.

" Do you think you can help Harry with potions? Please Draco for me" Tegan said as she kissed him and Draco sighed.

" I guess but only for you" Draco said as Tegan kissed again.

" Thank you" Tegan said as Draco shrugged.

" Anything for you" Draco said as they got ready for breakfast and made there way down to the Great Hall.
