This chapter is dedicated to my reader who commented and said they like hearing from Briar's point of view! I hope you enjoy it, love! Also, WARNING for some not so innocent content hehe ;) This is basically just a chapter of them making up so if you don't want to read it then you can absolutely skip to the next chapter! We get to see what Snape thinks of everything in the next chapter.

Briar POV

It's like his words are echoing in my mind over and over again. He has to kill Dumbledore. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to me. Voldemort feels threatened by Dumbledore and Harry. Those are the only two that seem to matter to him and since Harry has gotten close to Dumbledore, it makes sense that he wants to cut out an authority figure out of Harry's life who has helped him grow and get stronger.

After I said Draco and I have to kill Dumbledore together, the words just seem to come naturally to me. While I don't like him having to do this for his task, I understand how important it is that we keep his image intact with the Dark Lord if we're going to defeat him. What I didn't tell Draco is that, for my task, I'm not the one who has to kill the Dark Lord. Harry is a horcrux, according to Dumbledore, so my main task is to distract the Dark Lord and make sure I protect Harry. I had essentially become his protector until I could get close enough to the Dark Lord to do some damage while Harry is dead. I know he'll have to die, but there will most likely be time between him waking up and Voldemort trying to kill others. That's when I'll fight Voldemort and hope to buy Harry time.

"While I don't like the task, you're not in this alone. However, if you ever keep something from me again, or even think about it, I can't be with you. No matter how much it hurts me, we need to be a team, Draco. That means telling each other everything and making sure the other has all of the information they need to protect themselves." I look at him and he stares at me in shock, but mostly with love and I know we've finally gotten over the fight we had yesterday. He nods his head slightly in agreement before he raises his arms out towards me.

"Please come here," he whispers hoarsely and I crawl over to fall into his arms. He crushes my body to his and I bury my face in his neck to take in the smell that is just Draco. I drape my legs over his lap and he rubs his hand up and down my back. I'm still worried about where we're at after he shut me out yesterday, but I still find myself worried and scared to ask him about it. I know I have to do it though so I open my mouth after taking a deep breath to prepare myself.

"You shut me out of your head yesterday and then when I was with your aunt in your father's study…" I trail off unsure of how to explain to him a small part of me worried he wouldn't come help me because of our fight. I can feel his arms tighten around me protectively and his next words come out as a fierce growl.

"Don't ever think I won't come protect you just because we had a fight. I know we said things, but we were both angry and not thinking straight. I would never leave you unprotected for even a second. I don't care if I'm pissed off at you. I will always protect you with my life. Do you understand me?" I can feel his words vibrating in his chest from where my hand rests against his bare chest. I nod my head minutely before drawing my body closer to his in appreciation.

"I'm sorry," I whisper and I can feel him shudder when my lips brush against the warm skin of his neck as his hands clutch me impossibly closer. Feeling him shudder at my touch unleashes something inside of me and I find myself smirking against his neck before I place a gentle kiss to his pulse that is beating wildly in his neck.

"Bry," he gasps before letting out a groan when I let my teeth nip at his neck lightly. With my lips barely touching his neck, I whisper my thoughts to him so my hot breath can caress his rapidly heating skin.

"Your excuse yesterday was that I needed rest. Do you have an excuse today?" I let my lips part gently and I press a kiss to the underside of his jaw before my tongue lightly traces from under his jaw to his ear. Letting my teeth lightly pull his earlobe, I release it to stay there and let my breath wash over his skin as goosebumps visibly raise. His response is a groan before shoving me back so I'm lying on my back causing me to giggle before my breath catches in my throat when he's hovering over me with his body pressed to every inch of mine. He stares at me with darkened eyes to make his eyes look like a stormy grey instead of its normal light blue.

"No, I don't, Ms. Griffin," he growls at me and pushes his hips into mine. I gasp at the feeling of his already half hard cock pressed against my throbbing clit. It's then that I notice, his hand has already run up my thigh and has yanked his boxers off of me. Now, left in just his button up, I almost chuckle at the fact that this was how I was dressed yesterday when my seduction was interrupted by Sirius.

Draco's lips meeting mine in a flurry of activity pulls me from my thoughts and my arms wrap around his neck to pull him closer. The one thing I'll never get use to is how great Draco's kisses are. The way just his lips brushing against mine has my toes curling. How his tongue brushing my lips or my own tongue has the tightly coiled desired in my stomach clenching in anticipation. Don't even get me started on when his teeth scrape against my bottom lip, pulling a whimper from my throat that quickly turns to a groan when I feel his finger lightly brush against the apex of my thighs.

"Hmmm ready for me already, love?" He pulls back to stare at me with our foreheads pressed together. His finger slides into me, halting my answer on my lips. "Merlin, baby girl, you're soaked already," he groans and drops his lips to my neck to pepper teasing kisses up and down my skin while he adds another finger to pump in and out of me in a torturously slow pace alongside his other finger. My entire head goes fuzzy of everything except Draco when his thumb starts to teasingly rub against my clit as his fingers speed up slightly. Tilting his fingers slightly, he brushes against a spot that has me arching my back in pleasure.

"Dray!" I gasp and pant as his fingers speed up so they're steadily thrusting into me while his thumb rubs harder on my clit. He pulls back from my neck to smirk while staring at my hooded eyes.

"I think I found it, didn't I? You like teasing me, don't you?" I whimper when his fingers slow down as he waits for my answer. I frantically nod my head.

"Yes, I do," I squeak out. I almost yell in thanks when his fingers resume the pace they had taken moments ago that had me pushing my hips to meet his finger's thrusts. Feeling myself getting closer, I realize it's not enough. I've been in a coma for two months and the first thing we did was fight. While his fingers were doing sinful things that I definitely loved, I need him. All of him.

Reaching down, I pull his fingers out and bring them up towards his now confused face. He leans back, probably to start apologizing in case he did something wrong, but my mouth wrapping around his wet fingers has his mouth dropping open in a groan instead of an apology. Pulling his fingers out of my mouth, I let them brush my lips as my tongue teasingly traces each digit while I stare into his rapidly darkening eyes.

"You little…" He starts, but his accusation is cut off by me hooking my leg around his hip and forcing him onto his back. Now straddling him, I stare at his bewildered face that quickly turns to one of hunger as I rock my hips over his hardness.

"I do like to tease, Mr. Malfoy. However, I've waited long enough so I'll tease you some other time," I say breathlessly before I lean down and fuse our lips together. He responds back eagerly and his hands grasp my hips to press me closer to his hips that are pushing closer to me. Letting my hand slide down his chest, I reach into his pajamas to pull his hard cock out of his pajama pants. Before he can even realize I've released him from his pajama pants, I lean my head back from his lips so I'm sitting up straight before sinking down onto him in one movement.

I watch in fascination as he pushes his head into his pillow behind him and pushes himself further into me. I groan at the fullness before using my thighs to raise myself before pushing back down. I get a rhythm going and lean in to place light kisses across his chest before working my way to his neck. I can feel the saltiness of his sweat dancing against my tongue when I sweep it over his rapidly fluttering pulse. After I nip lightly with my teeth, I feel and hear his groan that is ripped from his throat.

"I think I found it, didn't I, Mr. Malfoy?" I tease and he snaps his hips into me harder causing me to gasp. Moving my hips faster, I can feel his hands clutching my hips and pushing his hips into me desperately as I leave marks along the column of his neck.

Sweat falls from my forehead and travels like a caress down to my neck as the room gets warmer by the second. I can feel my thighs trembling and I know I won't be able to last much longer. Leaning back, I settle my hands on his chest to use them as leverage to help my weakening legs. Green meets blue and I see him biting his lips as he greedily drinks in the sight of me riding him shamelessly. I feel his hands tighten on my hips and can feel his hips push himself into me harder and deeper.

"Baby," he groans and I can see his body is glistening in a light sheen of sweat. His eyes are transfixed on my face as I pant and bite my lip. My eyes snap to his and I can feel myself sink into his mind to see what he sees. With a groan, my thighs clench slightly causing my clit to brush against his hip. My shaking increases and I fight the urge to fall into his chest.

Due to our connection still being open, he must've heard my thoughts because the next thing I know, my back is arching off of the mattress as his hips snap into me hard and fast. My eyes close as I feel the pleasure build and listen to his pants as one of his hands sinks greedily into my hip and the other finds itself tangled in my hand.

Look at me, beautiful.

My eyes snap open and find he has released my hip and has both of my hands above my head as our pants of air intermingle between our mouths. His lips are so close, I could kiss them if I leaned forward, but I'm transfixed on the look of adoration in his eyes. With him being this close, his angle changed and is now pushing against my g-spot causing my pants to be joined with needy whimpers.

"Draco," I whimper and am met with his groan of my name. He pushes into me once, twice, three more times and we're both coaxed over the edge. My entire body shakes as he slows down and comes to a gradual stop. The sweat has already started to cool on my body, but I can still feel my blood racing through my veins. Leaning forward slightly, I catch Draco by surprise and brush my lips against his reddened cheek before leaning my head back down on the pillow under me. He removes his hands from mine, but I quickly bring them down to wrap around his body when his encompass my trembling body as his head uses my chest as a pillow. Placing a kiss between my breasts, he turns his head to lay down again and I can feel my nipple starting to pebble against the warm air escaping his mouth so close to it.

My hand reaches up to comb through his hair that is now very messy from my tight grip just minutes before. I smile serenely and place a kiss against his slightly damp hair.

"Briar, we need to talk to…" I hurriedly shush him causing him to tighten his arms around me. He turns his head to look down into my eyes. I give him a small smile before accepting his kiss. Leaning back, I see him start to open his mouth to finish that thought, but I cut him off.

"Please, just a few more minutes of peace," I whisper to him pleadingly. He nods his head and kisses my forehead sweetly before laying back down on my chest. Taking a deep breath, I see his head slowly rise and fall with my movement. I chuckle slightly. "You seem awfully attached to my chest, Mr. Malfoy," I tease. He scoffs.

"I'm attached to every part of you, Ms. Griffin," he teases back before nipping at my pebbled nipple causing me to gasp. Trailing my hand from his hair, I let it trail down his spine teasingly.

"Do you think you're recharged enough to…" I start to let my mind fill in the blanks with some rather naughty thoughts that he groans at. I chuckle as I can feel him growing hard against my thigh already and cherish the look of mirth in his eyes when he leans back to stare at me. Before we can do anything about our rapidly growing arousal again, there's a knock at the door.

"You both have ten minutes to get downstairs. There is much to discuss," says the bored voice of Snape. We both groan before Draco gets up to start gathering clothes for the day while I silently appraise the side of him in all of his naked glory. He turns and my eyes snap to his smirking face.

"When all of this is over, I'm locking us in a room for twenty-four hours," I grumble before walking into the bathroom to clean up as his laughter follows me.

It would be my pleasure, baby. I smile at his response in my mind and feel dread crawl up my spine as I realize our happy bubble is about to get popped rather quickly once we walk down those stairs.
