End of the Year

No big bang at the end of this story.

Leah wondered what was going on…and how Draco had managed to convince Dumbledore to let them use the Head's carriage again. But that he did…and they were sitting in it…going somewhere. Draco was actually…dressed up. So was Leah. Somehow he also managed to convince her to wear a dress so now Leah was wearing a midnight blue dress that went to just below her knees with a mid-thigh high slit in the side. Her hair was in a half ponytail.

"Where are we going?" Leah asked.

"I told you…you have to wait and see." Draco said. He was sitting across from her. Leah huffed and pouted. "Nope…that's not gonna work this time."

"Are you saying you're immune to my pout-y face?" Leah asked, eyes widening.

"No." Draco said. "I'm just trying really hard to fight it right now." Leah looked relieved and Draco laughed before moving to sit next to her. "We only have a month left of school." Leah nodded, leaning against him. "Two weeks until your birthday."

"Yeah…" Leah said.

"What do you want?" Draco asked. "I still don't know what you like."

"I like you." Leah said. Draco smiled. "I don't know. Surprise me."

"But not in the same way you surprised me." Draco said. Leah nodded slowly. Ever since Voldemort had killed the baby, her stomach had felt weird, like there was a rock in it. She had lost a lot a weight and only started gaining it back a short while ago. Draco kissed the top of her head and Leah relaxed. The carriage stopped and the door opened.

"Ok where are we?" Leah asked, following Draco out of the carriage.

"We…are at one of the finest restaurants our world has to offer." Draco said. Leah's eyes widened. "Don't worry about anything. Just relax and eat." She gave him a look but Draco had taken hold of her hand and was leading her forward into the restaurant.

Half an hour later they were seated and starting to eat when Leah decided to ask the question that had been bothering her the whole time.

"Why did you do this?" She asked, looking at Draco who, again, was sitting across from her. He looked at her, his mouth semi full of food. Leah laughed slightly and shook her head.

"Because…we never actually officially went on a date." Draco said. "Mostly it was just being in the dorm the whole time." Leah nodded. "So I figured…since the whole school practically knows now…why not do something…normal." Leah smiled.

"So what?" She said. "Are we an official couple now?"

"If you want to be." Draco said. Leah nodded. "Good." He made it sound like he had expected to her say that, but Leah knew by the look in his eyes that he had been anxious. They finished eating in pretty much silence. A comfortable silence though. When they finished, Draco led Leah back to the carriage and they were off again.

"Ok where are we going now?" Leah asked, peeking out the window. Draco leaned across her and closed the curtain. She looked at him with a curious smile.

"No peeking." Draco said. "Or I'll have to distract you."

"How?" Leah asked, tilting her head. Draco smiled and kissed her. Leah pulled back with a smile. "What were we talking about?" Draco laughed. This time when the carriage stopped, Leah heard music similar to the music played at the Celtic festival. She raised an eyebrow but Draco just pulled her out of the carriage.

"Ah, young Mr. Malfoy!" A woman around her mid-thirties rushed over to them. Leah stepped back. Draco wrapped his arm around her waist and held her close. "How are you? How are you?"

"Isabelle." Draco said. "This is Leah."

"Ah! The one you were talking about! Marvelous!" Isabelle said, hugging both of them. "You will in enjoy this my dear. Oh yes, you will." She turned and started walking.

"Umm…" Leah said.

"Don't worry. She only knows me. She doesn't know my parents." Draco said. "There's no death eaters here so you can relax and have fun."

"Come, come!" Isabelle called. Leah just smiled at the woman's enthusiasm. Draco pulled Leah forward as they followed Isabelle. Suddenly he pulled her even closer to him. Leah looked at his face then followed his line of vision to see a guy that was looking at them. Isabelle left them at a nice place where they could watch a group of people dancing to the music around a huge fire.

"You were being possessive." Leah said.

"What's that?" Draco asked, looking down at her.

"That guy back there." Leah said. Draco didn't respond. Leah smirked and moved to straddle his lap. One of Draco's hands instantly went to her hip while the other stayed behind him to serve as balance. "You were worried."

"Well…yeah." Draco said. "You're still not…"

"Oh my god." Leah said. She was looking off to the side for a moment and spotted someone. "Nick!"

(((A/N: remember Nick from first year? One of the dragon dudes.)))

Leah jumped up and ran over to him.

"Hey Le. Almost didn't recognize you. What are you doing here?" Nick asked.

"My…boyfriend." Leah said. "He brought me here." She grabbed Nick's hand and led him over to where Draco was still sitting. "Nick, this is Draco, my boyfriend. Draco this is Nick. He's friends with Ron's brother Charlie." She noticed the look on Draco's face. "Nick is also very committed and in love with his wife. You guys did get married right?"

"Yep. Two years now." Nick said. Draco's face changed and brightened. Leah returned to sitting very close to Draco. Nick joined them for a while, telling them that he was here because of a secret thing that had to do with a trained dragon. He also told Leah this his wife was so close to her due date with their first kid that it didn't seem safe to bring her along. Leah's smile dropped for a second but she forced a smile while her hand hovered over her stomach for a second. Nick left to get things set up. He told Leah that she should be very surprised when she saw the dragon.

"Why would you be surprised?" Draco asked.

"No clue." Leah said, snuggling closer to Draco.

"Hey…do you think it's that dragon that Hagrid had in first year?" Draco asked.

"The one that got Harry and me sent to detention with you and Neville?" Leah asked. "I don't know. I haven't thought about Norbert since we got rid of him."

It came as a surprise when Nick, along with a few others, came out with a huge but apparently well trained Norbert. It was also a surprise when Norbert flew then landed in front of Leah and Draco and started acting like an over sized lap dog to Leah. Thankfully Nick managed to get him away from her before he smothered her. Norbert obviously remembered and recognized Leah. She wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.

Leah danced with the dancers for a few songs. By the time they got back to the school, Draco had to carry her up to their dorm and into her room because Leah had fallen asleep.

The doorbell rang and Draco, making sure that Leah was asleep, went down and pushed aside the door to see…

"Potter? What are you doing?" Draco asked. "You're gonna get in trouble."

"I…yeah I know." Harry said.

"Well get in then." Draco said. He stood aside and Harry walked into the dorm. "Want anything?"

"Uh…no." Harry said. "I was just…umm…"

"She's fine." Draco said. "A little tired from tonight's date but other then that she's fine."

"Oh…wait…date?" Harry asked.

"Yeah…" Draco said. "Figured we never went on one so…"

"Oh." Harry said. They stood in silence for a while

"Don't know about you but this is pretty awkward." Draco said.

"Yeah." Harry said. "Umm…just so I don't get in trouble…I'm gonna head back now."

"Want me to tell Leah you stopped by?" Draco asked.

"Uh…no." Harry said. Draco just nodded. Harry left.

"Ok…that was weird." Draco said. He went up to bed shortly afterwards and didn't tell Leah about Harry visiting.

"Ginny I hate you." Leah muttered.

"Why?" Ginny asked.

"You don't have to do your NEWTs until next year." Leah said. They, plus Hermione, were sitting by the lake. Hermione and Leah having just finished their second last NEWT. Draco was on the other side of the lake with his friends. Harry and Ron were somewhere else.

"Have you and Draco…done anything since…" Hermione asked, looking across the lake.

"No." Leah said. "Nothing big anyways." Her hands rested on her lower stomach before she put one behind her and the other lifted to push her hair behind her ear. She looked around, overcome by how much she was actually afraid of leaving this place. She had already made the arrangements to get out of the music career, not entirely though. She would do things as much as she did now, a show each month or so. They weren't going to let her quit all together.

"You coming to dinner with us?" Hermione asked. Leah looked at her. Hermione had changed a lot too. Now that they were in the last month of school, Dumbledore had let the seventh years wear what they wanted so long as it wasn't too revealing or promoted bad attitude so she was in tank tops and shorts. Hermione looked great. Leah nodded and the girls helped her stand before all three of them headed inside.

Draco watched as Leah went into the school with Hermione and Ginny. He felt so many things all at once: happiness, peace, relaxation…and even love. It was surprising just how deep he had fallen for her. He was also scared and saw because of what he was going to do after school. When would he see her again…if ever.

Ok cliffhanger and short chapter again. The next chapter is probably gonna be short too, it's all gonna take place on the train and end before they go through the barrier.

I NEED HELP!
