Chapter: 2

"Come in." Dumbledore said. His voice had aged considerably. He was weathered and looked tired now. The twinkle in his eyes was not as bright as they had been. He heaved a sigh and rubbed his eyes under his glasses. He looked up as the door into his office opened. In strolled Draco Malfoy.

"Mr. Malfoy? How may I help you?" Asked a surprised Dumbledore.

Draco smiled and sat down in front of Albus's desk.

"Professor I need your help and in return for your help I will help you fight in the war." Draco said.

"And what kind of help do you need?" Amusement in Albus's voice was heard.

Draco frowned. He didn't like people making fun of him. "I need to find Harry Potter so I can help him kill the Dark Lord. Then I can save my wife who the Dark Lord currently has captured."

Albus eyebrows rose. "Your wife is captured? Who would your wife be?"

"Umm, should I start at the beginning?"

"Yes that is always I good place to start." Albus said with a slight chuckle.

"Well, it all started in my sixth year. That was when I first met her. I had always known her. How could I not? I was trained to hate her from childhood. Well, not her specifically but her family. Plus, it didn't help that she was a Gryffindor and I was a Slytherin. I was in the library doing some research for an essay and she was there because Potter had just broken up with her so she was real upset."

Draco let the memories take over as he told the whole story to Dumbledore. Soon the office began to get blurry. His eyes glossed over and he forgot where he was. He felt himself going back to that very day.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It was a hot day. Many students were outside finishing their homework. Draco hated the sun. He grimaced as he walked past the open doors. Sunlight was purring into the hall. He quickened his pace. He head for the library. He thought none would be there. Everyone was outside so he could work in the library in peace and quiet. He threw open the side library door and hurried inside the room. He put his stuff down and wandered around looking for books that would help him complete the rest of the essay.

As he was searching, he heard the library door open and close. He grabbed some books and headed back to the table. As he looked up from the book, he was reading he saw her. She was all by herself with her head down.

He loved her hair. The curls were gorgeous and full of color unlike his bleach blond straight hair. She looked up and caught his eye. It looked like she was crying. Her eyes were red and dull unlike their normal state.

Draco felt himself blush for staring at HER. If anyone ever found out his reputation would be ruined. She must have been thinking the same thing because she smirked at him and got up from her table. Seeing her smirk at him made him feel like she wasn't at all like he brother. That stupid twit. He thought to himself. She sat down right across from him.

"So why are you crying?" Draco heard himself ask but didn't feel like he was talking.

"Why do you care?" she replied.

Draco shrugged. "Because even I don't like it when people cry. Making them feel bad is okay but when they actually cry over something you say that's drawing the line." He said with a smirk on his face.

She smiled slightly then broke down crying. Draco was lost. He didn't know what to do. None of his friends ever cried. Everyone he knew pretended that they didn't have any feelings. He patted her on the shoulder.

"I hate him!" She screamed once she calmed down a bit.

"Who?"

"Harry Potter." She said through another burst of tears.

"I thought you two were together?" Draco asked now truly confused. She had always adored Potter.

"Well he broke up with me because..." She could not speak at all because she was crying so hard and she somehow managed to have gotten the hiccups as well. Draco waited patiently to hear what Potter had down now.

Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm. I know it's been comin for sometime. When it's over so they say it 'il rain a sunny day. I know Shinin down like water. I wanna know have you ever seen the rain? I wanna know have you ever seen the rain Comin down a sunny day?

"He broke up with me because he had cheated on me with Padma Patil."

She finally cried out though her voice was barely more then a whisper it rang through Draco's ears. He was shocked that Potter would do something like that at all let alone with one of his best friends. He shook his head. He gave her a hug. He now was dumbfounded that he had hugged her.

"Look I am sorry about the brake up with you and Potter." He began but she interrupted him.

"Let's play a game of truth or dare. Why do you pretend to be so mean and awful when your really not?" She asked him with her eyebrow raised slightly.

"Who said I was pretending." He said coolly.

She just smirked up at him and winked. "Oh that's right I forgot. Draco you are a jackass my mistake."

Yesterday and days before sun is cold and rain is hot. I know. been that way for all my life. Till forever on it goes through the circle fast and slow. I know it can't stop. I wonder. I wanna know have you ever seen the rain? I wanna know have you ever seen the rain comin down a sunny day?

"Alright you wanna play truth or dare? Fine! Why do you pretend to be all brave and shit when I know very well that you are terrified to be alone and forgotten?" He said showing no emotion.

"I do not pretend to be brave all the time and I could careless if people know me or not as long as I have my family I could careless!"

"You seem to forget that I also said you are scared to be alone." He said in a calm whisper.

She looked up at him realizing for the first time during their talk they had gotten up from their seats and were standing in front of each other. He looked down at her and a smile was on his face. He was about six feet and she was about five feet and 3 inches.

Yeah! I wanna know have you ever seen the rain? I wanna know have you ever seen the rain comin down a sunny day?

"I'm not scared to be alone." She said with her chin in the air. Her hair was tumbling around her face. She looked like an angel with her fair skin and brown eyes.

"I am." Draco said. "I know what can happen if you're all by yourself. I have seen it. It is something that you should fear." His cool gray eyes were staring into her big brown eyes.

"Want a sugar quill?" She asked bending over and pulling a box of sugar quills out from her bag. "Their lemon flavored."

He smiled at her. He liked her. He could tell that if they were to keep talking then they could become friends.

"So do you like them?"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Huh? What was that? Draco looked up to see that he was in the Headmasters office not in the library talking to her. Dumbledore had asked him something.

"Sorry Professor. What did you say?" Draco asked as he slowly came back to earth.

"I asked if you like lemon flavored sugar quills?" Dumbledore smiled and Draco thought he saw the twinkle in his eyes if just for a moment.

"I love them. She and I would buy Honeydukes out of them and have about a hundred at a time. Even our kids like them." Draco said with a smile. "Mind you their mother doesn't like it when they have them before dinner." Draco said with a laugh.

"You have kids?" Dumbledore asked.

"Oh yeah. I have a son and two daughters. Wyatt is four and Cardea and Shira they both are two, their twins."

"Interesting. Please continue with the story. I am enjoying it very much."

Draco nodded and he picked back up were he had left off.
