Okay I know Draco is WAY OOC, but he is an entirely different person around Lily. She makes him better. But he's only better when she's around. In my next chapter you will see what I mean, but here goes chapter 7!! Enjoy! R/R!!

"Kyle?" I looked around the empty common room, hoping he'd be there. I had to talk to him. I ran up the stairs to the boys' dormitories then stopped at dorm 15. I knocked. Slowly, carefully I opened the door, just in case someone wasn't wearing decent clothing. I saw, to my relief, everyone clothed, and Kyle sitting on his bed reading.

"Kyle. There you are." The other boys in the dorm barely looked at me. They were used to me coming in like that. I had always done it.

"Hey," he said sleepily. "What's up?"

"I need your help." I said.

"Of course you do. What is it now?"

"Draco." he smirked.

"I knew it. Trouble in paradise?"

"I…he…" Tears were falling now. There was no stopping them. "I'm pretty sure he kissed another girl."

"That son of a bitch…" I'd never seen Kyle this angry. " I'll kill him…I'll… I'll"

"No… no. He well she may have kissed him first, but I don't know if he kissed her back or not."

"Have you confronted him?"

"Erm…no…not exactly."

"Okay off you get. Go away. Talk to him. And afterwards if you change your mind, I can make it look like an accident."

"Kyle!!"

"I was kidding, but I could beat him up if you wanted me to. Nobody…nobody ever hurts my baby sister. Not ever."

I grudgingly walked off in the direction of the Slytherin common room. I knew the password. Draco always gave me the passwords, so that if I ever needed to see him I could just go in and he'd be there. I walked up and uttered the password.

"Moonstone." The portrait slid open. I walked in. I probably looked a wreck. I could feel the tears still sliding down my cheeks. I saw him sitting in a corner. He was talking to Crabbe and Goyle, his cronies.

"Lily! Hi sweetheart." He hugged me then pulled back so he could kiss me, but I turned the other way. "What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"I just…I need to talk to you." I was about to start up again. His face was so concerned, he looked so helpless. We exited the common room, and walked down the corridor until we found a corner to sit in. He pulled my chin up with his hands, so that I was looking at him.

"What is it love?" He was so adorable when he was concerned. But I couldn't think of that then.

"You…kissed her." I said, and I was so angry, and so sad at the same time that I cried heart wrenching sobs. I could barely breathe. "That stupid pugfaced wench. How could you?" I fought the urge to stand up and run away.

"She- she kissed me. I didn't kiss her back. Who told you this? Weasel wasn't it? I will personally pummel him into the ground."

"Oh come off it!! I saw you!! Yes she kissed you, but you kissed her back. I'm not stupid you know!!"

"I know. Honey please don't do this." I slapped him then. When I got there I really had no intention of touching him, but I slapped him. I ran away from there. Straight into Ron.

I had refrained from telling Ron until I knew the truth. I knew he'd just blow up about it and end up hexed to oblivion by Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. I didn't want that. He comfortingly pulled me into a hug and said, "Let's go outside. Hmm?" I could only nod. He saw Draco then, and spun around so fast. He looked like he wanted to personally murder him.

"Ron….RON!! No! Please. Let's just go." I turned once more to look at Draco. Tears shimmered in his eyes, and he held his hand to his cheek still. I wanted to go to him, and say I was sorry. That's how much I loved him. After all he had done to me, I still loved him. I instantly felt awful because I hadn't really given him a chance to explain. But I saw it. That morning I was going to go see him and bring some of his favorite candies and cakes, so we could go out on this glorious Saturday, and have a sort of picnic. When I reached the portrait hole however, I saw him and Pansy talking, so I decided against going straight up to him. I stood behind a corner and watched it all play out.

"Oh Draco, you're so adorable." Pansy said and she reached up to touch his face. He looked like he was a bit uncomfortable then. As I thought he was going to put her off, she leaned forward and kissed him. Right on the lips. He struggled for a second, then I saw him relax. He reached up and touched her face, and they kissed for a second more then, stopped. By then I was already running so hard, I didn't hear another word of the conversation.

Ron brought me to a bench in the courtyard. I sat down next to him, and explained it all. He was fuming by the time I was finished.

"I am going to go in there and kill him!"

"No…no you're not. I've already slapped him, but don't worry I'm sure his precious Pansy will fix him right up." I sighed then. Ron put his arm around me and I leaned my head on his shoulder, and let the tears come again.

When I reached my dorm later that night, I found a box on my bed. I opened it carefully. Inside were some lilies and a note from Draco.

Lily,

Please. You must let me explain. It was never my intention to kiss Pansy. She is incredibly annoying how she always hangs on me like one great pug faced leech. I am greatly sorry for what I did to you, and the pain I put you through. I just wish you had been there after the kiss. If you would, please meet me at the tree whenever you get this. I will wait all night.

Love,

Draco

I didn't know whether or not I should go. I decided finally to go talk to him. The tree was a beautiful Willow tree that I sat under often, and Draco and I went to whenever we wanted to talk quietly or kiss without being interrupted. He was there. He looked devastatingly handsome in the moonlight under the tree. I almost let my self give into the tears I knew would eventually come. Almost. I was so angry; I just walked up to him, and stood there quietly. He noticed me immediately.

"Lily…" He was quivering. I was too. He had tears in his eyes, and so did I. "I'm so sorry. I didn't…" He sobbed then, and it took me by surprise. I reached out and took his face in my hands. I used my thumbs to wipe away the tears on his cheeks. He did the same to me. He pulled me to him. For a moment I forgot how angry I was. He just looked so…sad. I hugged him back, and then was immediately ashamed. He had hurt me deeply and I gave myself back to him so eagerly.

"It doesn't change that you kissed her. I know you're sorry. Frankly my dear, I'm sick of it." I was. He had said he was sorry one too many times. "What are you going to do to get me back?"

"You want to know what I said to her after she kissed me? I said, 'Pansy you wench. Get away from me!' I pushed her away from me, and I haven't talked to her since. I love you Lily. I've never felt so strongly about anyone in my entire life. Please. Just give me another chance. I'll never slip up again if you take me back."

"Draco," I said softly, "We never broke up. I was just so angry at you. You're lucky I trust you, or my brother and Ron would kill you." That moment, when I looked in his eyes, I knew he was telling me the truth. I kissed him, and it was a short kiss, yet so full of love and affection, it was quite overwhelming. After the kiss, we just held each other for the longest time, afraid of what would happen if we let go.

"I love you too Draco."
