"Ron, I don't know if I can do this," Draco said facing the entrance to the great hall from around the corner.
"Hey," Ron said, moving Draco's head to look at him,"I know you can, you're strong. And even if you don't want to, you don't have to."
Draco looked down at his shoes for a few moments before grabbing Ron's hand and saying,"If I die in there, I'll haunt your dreams."
Ron smiled sweetly and nuzzled his nose into the crook of Draco's neck,"The key word is dreams not nightmares."
Ron pulled away as they walked around the corner into the great hall. It took a second before people started turning heads and pointing at them. Just before they parted to go sit at there house tables, Ron kissed Draco's temple just to make sure everyone understood that Draco was his. He then whispered,"Room of Requirements tonight at nine."
The rest was up to fate.
