Now when I said I fell in love with Draco, I meant something way different than you think. You see, I thought I had fallen in love with him. But someone showed me that learning to love someone over time is way different than loving someone right away. See you learn to see a person in a different level after spending 4 years with them, and in my case, knowing that youre going to marry the guy. And then theres the kind of love that just happens, with no explanation what so ever. It just happens right when you look into the persons eyes and you see their soul. See, Oliver knew this, because he was older, and wiser, I didnt, until I listened to my heart..

September 13,

4 years after graduation at Hogwarts, a month before the wedding.
I listened to the young lady say how beautiful I looked for the 50th time, Stacie only nodded silently. She was still depressed over her breakup with Harry. It happened during June when she just snapped at him. I, of course, didnt think it was too serious since they fought often. I must say I was pretty shocked when the months passed and they didnt get back together. It was really unbelievable how something could end over some stupid fight about their future when I had lost someone over something way more big: losing Oliver. Now, I must say that it wasnt easy but I managed with Dracos help. Hes become like my best friend. Someone I can tell everything to. Someone I love. Ive been afraid to let myself go but now Im free. Im free to do whatever I want.I never thought it would happen but it did. And now I m happy that Im going to marry him.

"Im not sure I like it that much" I said checking out the dress and twirling. The flowing bottom made me feel like a dancing princess. The top was strapless with pearls shining embroiled on it. Towards the bottom the silky feeling made me keep touching it.

"What are you talking about it looks great"
Stacie said trying to sound excited. I frowned. "Well its okay but I want a beautiful dress, Ill know thats it when I see it, you know?" She sighed and sat down.

"Youre helpless, theres only a month left until you become Mrs. Draco Malfoy and you havent even found a dress" I sat next to her with the sides of the dress sticking out of the little sofa.

"Youre right, but I dont like this dress" I said and stood up, I changed into my normal outfit, smiling.
"What do you say we go have some tea and talk about you, like we used to when we were little"
"Yeah, and were not little anymore, were 21 now, adults" Stacie said pushing her bangs behind her and grabbing her purse.
What did she do for a living you ask? She runs a business with Ron, a shop where they sell all kinds of things. Ron and Hermione got married a year ago. It was quite romantic actually. They live in London and visit often. As for me, well thats another story. Ive become a do it all kind of person. I model for ads sometimes and clothing lines. Sometimes it gets boring so I try and visit Draco at the ministry of magic.

"Come on, lighten up"

"How can I?"

"Stop being so dramatic" I said waving at the young lady who was obviously disappointed that I, Draco Malfoys and Dumbledores granddaughter didnt buy her dress.

"Well, I wrote to him about a week ago but he hasnt even written back, I cant believe its really over" She sighed setting her tea cup down.

"Maybe you should go see him" I replied trying to help but I dont think I really was.

"Maybe, but then I dont want to look desperate"
"If you dont go and talk to him you might lose him. Forever" I said quietly and sipped some tea.
"True. Enough about me. Tell me dont you sometimes wonder what Olivers life is like now, I mean, I know that hes become like the most popular quidditch player and the hottest but dont you wonder what has become of his life, you know, or what happened to Tracy?" I shifted in my seat uncomfortably at the mention of Tracys name. I still had that letter she had give me. The one letter that really made me move on with my life. The one that stopped me from waiting for Oliver. Her sweet words, her sad and hopeful dreams. It had been too much.

"Sometimes but now I have a great life, the past should stay behind" I whispered and finished off my tea.

"What do you think would happen if you saw him again?" I looked at her. I hadnt really thought of that. Oliver was in Scotland while I was in Germany. It just didnt make sense.
"I dont know but you know it doesnt matter because theres no way I'll ever see him again"
"What if by some weird coincidence you ended up in the same place at the same time"
"I dont know, I would probably just, I dont know, where is all this coming from, Stacie?" I asked getting annoyed.
"Well," She was looking at something. I picked up my empty teacup and looked at it trying to calm myself down. I didnt like talking about him and she knew it.
"Well,what?" I asked snapping at her.
"I, uh,-"

Ally"
I turned and looked up to see Oliver standing there. He looked no different. He still looked like the same sweet Oliver I remembered. His chocolate eyes shining their usual shine and his lips formed that beautiful smile that I had longed for a few years go. My heart was beating so fast, and all I could do was sit there and look at him like he was a ghost. I put my teacup down and stood. He was, like always, still taller than me, not that I had grown a little I was now 57 while Oliver stood at 510 if not more. I kept looking at him and he just stared. It was if everyone was gone and it was just me and him again, like we used to be.
"Hi" He said and grabbed my hand, causing my whole body to shiver with something, something that I was already trying to fight. I even felt my stomach starting to flip flop. This was the kind of thing that Oliver did to me, something that Draco didnt. Just the feel of his soft hand holding mine made me feel like old times.
"Hi, Oliver" I whispered, standing there, paralyzed and just somehow knowing that this wasnt good. Oliver being back, was not good. Or was it?
"How are you? "He asked oddly, I noticed that there was another handsome guy standing next to him.
"Thats Rich Hane, I have to go and get his autograph hes so hot" Stacie said, standing up and leaving me. I gave her a pleading look and looked back up at Oliver.
"Im good, how about you? "It was really an odd conversation. About three years ago I would dream of seeing him again and having him lift me off the ground and us kissing in the rain, this wasnt the way, definitely not.
"Im okay, can I sit down?" I nodded and cleared my throat because I was so nervous I knew my voice would probably start sounding squeaky.
"So, what brings you here?" I asked as another cup of tea appeared in front of me.
"Destiny, Im kidding, Im here for training, Im going to be staying here for a little while" He said smiling.
"Thats good" I replied oddly.
"I read an article on the news prophet about you and Draco" He said casually.
"When?"
Y"ou havent read it, well here," He handed it to me and waited as I looked through it.
"Great"I murmured sarcastically. It was a bunch of stupid info and the wedding date as well.
"Its happening, I really never thought it would" Oliver said shifting in his seat which caused his knee to brush against my bare knee since I was wearing a skirt
"Yeah, well its happening" Stacie came and sat.
"Hes so hot" She whispered. I rolled my eyes. I wanted to ask So what about Harry but I was too busy trying to move my knee without looking too obvious.
"Ive got to go you know with Ron, I got to help him run some papers, Ill see you later, dinner?"
"Sure" I said looking at Oliver.
"looks like were alone" He said it quietly maybe even in a nostalgic way.Did he still loved me just like he said he would, even after 4 years. What about me, did I still love him?
"Where is Tracy?"
"She died a year ago" He said sadly and looked at me. She was really happy, thanks to you I smiled sadly. She was dead and all I could do was feel sorry for myself.
"Im sorry" I said to him, he nodded and cleared his throat.
"I gotta run, my friends waiting for me, just look at him, hes going to get killed if I dont get out of here" He winked at me and then turned, when the girls saw him and started walking toward him." It was nice seeing you again" He said quietly and smiled at the girls that were already grabbing and reaching for his shirt. I stood, grabbed my purse and walked out into the fresh air.
So that was it, thats all he had wanted to say? Maybe he really doesnt love me anymore. I walked faster feeling a bit sad, but why? Is it possible that I still love him? What about Draco, dont I love him too? oh god no, Im confused again.

"So, what did you guys talk about?" Stacie said while sitting on my bed, she was eating oreo cookies.
"Nothing just how hes doing and why hes here sort of thing"
"I refuse to believe that, didnt he like tell you how much he still loves you, didnt he like beg you not to marry Draco, or something like that?"
I shook my head and brushed my hair for the millionth time in 5 minutes.
"Wow, I didnt really think he would just forget you, you shouldve seen the way he entered and saw you, he was just glowing when he saw you "I sat next to her and fell back on the bed.
"Weve got to go downstairs for dinner, Draco and Grandpa are waiting" I said.
"Wait, what, arent you going to tell him how you miss him and want him back, this is your chance"
"Stacie, I love Draco, I dont know what youre talking about, and Id appreciate it if you please dont bring this around Draco" I stood and started walking downstairs.
"God, Im just trying to help, fine I wont say anything" She rolled her eyes and walked behind me. "You know you want to do something, why dont you just do it?" She whispered.
"Stacie!"
"Oh, alright, fine, suit yourself"
"This is great, Ally"
I smiled at Draco as he spooned more mashed potatoes. My grandfather was busy talking to Stacie about something.
"Thanks, I made it, Im practicing" I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Are you alright?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I dont know, I just, it seems like youre hiding something"
"Oh no, I just had a shocking day"
"Did you find the perfect dress?"
"Not yet"
"Well you better hurry"
, "Alright, Ill try" I said and sat my plate aside. I looked at him, his beautiful blue eyes and smiled. He had been there for me when I had cried when I had needed someone, he had been there. And I wouldnt mind sharing my life with someone who would always support me, and love me. Then why did I feel so empty. While I looked at Draco I was thinking of Oliver.
"I love-"
"What?" Draco said looking up, he hadnt really heard it but he looked up." "I said, I love the food, dont you?" He nodded and took hold of my hand.
"I love you more" I knew I should say something back but I couldnt, I had never told him or said those words to him, and I still couldnt now.
