I glanced back at Fred and George and they gave their famous twin smile, I leaned forward and gracefully flew out of the window. The cool summer air whipped against my feathers as I flew in the direction of the Malfoy manor.

As I came closer I could hear 2 voices, one was strong and forceful, and the other was frightened. I perched myself on the windowsill, watching the 2 silhouettes with fright.

"Where is she, Draco?" The first voice drawled, grabbing him by the front of his shirt.

"Father, I dont know, she snuck out!" The second voice pleaded, tugging hopelessly at his shirt

"Dont lie, boy."Lucius hissed, dropping him hard on the ground

"Im not, father!" Draco said, "She petrified me and left!"

"Crucio!" Lucius screamed, I watched in horror as Dracos body twitched with pain as he screamed. Tears were leaking uncontrollably from his pale blue eyes as his hair lay messily on top of his head.

He did the curse a few more times and finally lifted it, seeing Draco was twitching helplessly on the ground.

I flew inside the room and stared at him as his breathing became shallow and unsteady. I could feel myself changing back into my human form, but I didnt care.

Draco opened his eyes and tried to sit up, but fell back down.

"Draco." I whispered, now fully a human, "Draco, wake up" He grunted and swatted me away unconsciously with his arm. I lay his head in my lap, stroking his hair soothingly as he continued to squeeze his eyes shut, like a searing pain was running through his body.

After a few more minutes he opened his eyes slowly, "Candice youre back?" He asked, sitting up by himself. I nodded, staring at the ground.

He hugged me tightly, knocking me over from surprise. "What are you doing?" I screeched, pulling away.

"Im glad youre back." I cocked an eyebrow, "You care..?"

"Umm, no, of course not." He said, regaining his normal cockiness.

I smirked, "Good night, Malfoy."

"Night, Crandall"

I apparated back to the burrow where I said goodbye to the twins, Hermione and Ginny.

"Are you sure you dont want to stay?" Hermione asked, hugging me tightly.

"Im sure, I need to go back" I said with a smile, Ginny giggled and winked at me, she knew I had to get back to Draco.

"Whats so funny?" Hermione asked her chocolate brown eyes wide in confusion.

Ginny put her arm around her shoulder, "Nothing" I waved goodbye and arrived in my room, but Draco was sprawled across my bed, asleep.

A small smile found its way to my lips as I carefully sat on the bed stroking his full head of platinum blonde hair. His eyes were closed peacefully and his mouth hung open slightly. He had a small cut on his cheek, and he seemed slightly chilled, even with the blanket on.

"Incendo" I whispered, watching my fire place slowly create a flame. The light illuminated Dracos cold, pale features, causing a little tinge of pink to appear.

"Episkey" I muttered, watching Dracos cut vanish, "Candice, dont go" Draco said in his sleep, his arms were wrapped securely around my waist.

"Im not going anywhere, Draco" I said quietly, kissing him on the cheek and laying down beside him.

The next morning, I was awoken by the sound of thunder, and rain beating the window heavily. I looked beside me to see Draco still sleeping, his hair was all over the place and his eyes were calm. I smiled and took a shower and got dressed, it was only 19 days until the wedding and I was growing incredibly anxious by the minute as I absentmindedly twirled the engagement ring on my finger. I went downstairs to find my mother and Lucius talking in hushed voices, evil sadistic grins were plastered across their faces. My mother took a sip of coffee before looking at me.

"Uh, good morning mum, Lucius"

"Candice" my mother said nonchalantly, averting her gaze back to her coffee

"Good morning, Candice" Lucius sneered, his ice blue eyes were staring into my soul, "where were you last night?"

"Well..."
