A/N: FINALLY UP AGAIN!

Chapter 11 – Change of Heart

Marty broke the kiss as Draco secretly watched them. "Ryan…"

"Yeah" he asked as he let her go.

"After that kiss…I've made up my mind." Marty exhaled as Draco listened closely.

"What is it?" Ryan asked.

"I can't do this anymore…" Marty let go of his hand. "I thought that I moved on, I really thought I did. I also thought, that I could be happier than I was. But I didn't think that I had everything once before."

"Are you saying it's over?" asked Ryan.

Marty nodded. "I'm sorry…I don't want to lie to you, but…" Marty's eyes filled with tears. "I guess I'm still in love with the past. I'm so sorry."

Draco heard every word. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "It's okay. I understand. I'll see you." Said Ryan as Draco hid. Marty walked towards the lake and sat on the boulder. Draco looked at her, and decided to go towards her.

"Marty?" Draco heard her sniffing.

"Draco?" Marty looked at him wiping her tears.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked as he sat next to her.

Marty sighed. "There's so many things in my head right now. Draco, there's so many things in my life I really want to change."

"Is something bothering you?" asked Draco. Draco hesitated. "Did Ryan do anything?"

"NO." she said plainly. "That's the point. There's nothing there. But…never mind."

"What? Tell me." Said Draco.

Marty looked into his eyes. Her eyes began to tear. "Draco…I'm still stuck in the past. No matter what, there's nothing I can do to get over you. I've tried, and I thought I did the right thing, but it turns out I made the mistake all along. I know you can't forgive me for this…"

"Marty." Draco sighed. He wiped her tears and reached for hand. "Truth is, I haven't been handling it better either. It might have seemed that everything was okay, but I just can't give up someone like you. Marty…I loved you. And I still do…"

"Draco…" said Marty. "Aren't you with Stacey?"

"There hasn't been anything going on between us. She's obsessed about me. It's hard to get her off my back." Draco shook his head.

"Oh." Marty looked at the lake and then at Draco. "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize. We all make mistakes." Draco assured her. Draco kissed her on the cheek gently. He kissed her again, slowly getting towards her lips. Once he looked at her into the eyes, Marty trembled.

"Draco…" she whispered.

"Shhh…" Draco hushed her and kissed her on the lips. The sensation filled Marty's body with jolts. She had that feeling again, like the first kiss with him. He ran his fingers through her silky hair as she pulled him closer to her. Soon, she felt the touch of his tongue with hers. She felt his soft lips on hers again. Eventually, she had broken the kiss.

She looked at him shocked. "Did we just kiss?"

"I think we did." Draco smirked. "I missed you."

Marty smiled. "I missed you too." She held him close to her. "I'm sorry for everything."

"It's okay, so are we together again?" Draco asked.

"Only if you want to be." Said Marty.

Draco smiled. He got up helped her off the ground. "Of course." He smiled and kissed her again. After kissing, they headed to the Great Hall for dinner.

"Hand-in-hand?" Marty asked.

Draco smiled. "Of course." They entered the Great Hall, where Draco walked Marty to her usual spot at the Gryffindor table. There, many people reacted with gasps.

"I'll see you after dinner?" Marty looked at Draco.

"Always." Draco smiled and kissed her on the cheek as he left back to the Slytherin table.

"What was that?" Kyra asked.

"Honestly Marty, truth." Said Hermione.

"Well, let's just say I realized so many things." Marty smiled.

"Finally you two got things straightened out." Said Ron biting off a cob of corn.

"Ron's right Marty." Hermione agreed. "Things just weren't the same." Marty looked over at the Slytherin table, where he saw Draco joking with Crabbe and Goyle. Draco caught her eyes while he was in conversation and smiled at her. She returned the smile back.

After dinner, the group decided to go straight to the common room. Marty waited for Draco outside the Great Hall. "I'll see you guys later."

"Have fun…" Kyra winked.

"Come on Kyra, we'll have our fun." Harry smiled as they walked away.

As Marty waited, she saw Ryan pass by. "Marty, I don't want this to end."

"Ryan, I told you." Said Marty. "I've made up my mind. You and me? It's not going to work out."

"I just don't want to end like this. We could work it out right?" Ryan asked.

Marty shook her head. "I'm sorry…"

"You can't just do that." Ryan said slowly getting angry.

Draco was about to walk towards Marty but saw the scene. He took a deep breath and continued walking towards Marty.

"Things don't always go—" Marty was cut off by Draco, who had forced a hard but passionate kiss on her, grabbing her by the waist and slowly pushing her towards the wall.

Draco broke the kiss and looked at Ryan. "Oh did you need something mate?"

Ryan stood there shocked. "No that's okay. I'll see you later." He walked away with the rest of the students from the Great Hall.

"Hey darlin'." Draco smiled.

Marty smiled. "You just have perfect timing isn't it?"

"Of course." Draco kissed her on the cheek and put his arm around her as they walked down the hall.

"We pretty much shocked everyone tonight." Said Marty.

"Is that right?" Draco smirked. "I'd say the whole school stopped for at least a minute." They both sat down by the courtyard and stared at the moon.

Marty watched Draco stare into the darkness and smiled. She looked at the clear sky and bright stars. "The sky's so beautiful."

Draco stared at Marty watching the stars. Her gray eyes glowed in the moonlight and her skin looked so soft to touch. "Yes you are."

Marty looked at Draco. Her eyes became a little watery, but she managed to smile. "Thank you."

Draco touched her cheek and caressed it. She closed her eyes as she felt his warm hand touching her face. She opened her eyes to look at his blue eyes and then his lips. Draco drew closer to her lips and whispered, "I love you."

She looked into his eyes at the moment she heard those words. "I love you too." She whispered back. Draco gently kissed her lips, but broke the kiss. Marty felt all the butterflies again. She knew she loved him. She felt like she was home. Every moment their lips met, she felt like she could do anything. She stared into his blue eyes and drew herself closer to him, kissing him gently. Soon, the gentle kiss became passionate and rough. He pulled her closer to him, eventually she sat on his lap, kissing him passionately. He reached into her robes, rubbing her smooth skin softly. His tongue entered her mouth as she responded with interest. She didn't want to break the kiss, so she licked his lips asking for more. His hands under her robe kept going higher, almost reaching for her bra. She then broke the kiss trying to catch her breath.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked. "Did I hurt you?"

"No, of course not." She exhaled. "Don't you think we might you know, eventually get too excited to do anything here in the courtyard?"

Draco smirked. "You're right. I guess we'll continue this some other time?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry." Said Marty.

"Don't worry about it love, we'll have another moment." Draco gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "We should probably get going now."

"Yeah." Said Marty as they walked each other to the entrance of the staircases. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Good night." Draco hugged her. "I love you."

"I love you too." Said Marty. "Sleep well."

They finally parted ways for the night, each of them heading to their common rooms. Draco headed to Slytherin tower, where he passed right by the common room and straight to his dorm. By the fireplace, was Stacey talking to Ryan.

"So Draco's back with Marty?" Stacey asked.

"Yes." Said Ryan. "I guess it's official."

"Interesting." Said Stacey raising an eyebrow. "How about we help each other to try to get what's ours?"

"What do you know?" Ryan asked.

"Let's just say he won't be with herfor awhile, and eventually," Stacey smirked. "they'll be apart forever."
