A/N: No I'm not dead, just very busy. This is why I should learn my lesson and write one fic at a time and not try and multitask and try two at a time I don't know how some people can write a few at a time. But here is a new chapter I have to get myself motivated to write some new chapters, I need to try and stay focused on the fics that I have going on but now that I have just recently seen twilight I'm playing with an idea in that category but I'm trying to hold off and at least finish one of my fics. I'm really going to try my best to finish this fic so I have at least one completed.
D/C - do I really need to write one of these, if u don't know by now then I can't help you. :0)
The first day of lessons went by at a snail's pace. The classes that Draco and Carmilla had weren't so bad. But when they had different classes it was hell for the both of them.
"This has been the most exhausting day I've ever had." Carmilla said as she collapsed onto the sofa of their private common room.
"Tell me about it, you try fighting Pansy off in ancient runes. I've never used so much energy in my life. I don't even think I want to go down to the great hall. I'm not up to enduring the piercing stares from every student at Hogwarts." Draco said with a yawn.
"Do you just want to have supper here while we do our homework?" Carmilla asked.
"That sounds great, by the way how did things go with Potter and Weasley?" Draco asked
"Disastrous" Carmilla replied.
"What'd they do?"
"Everytime I would walk by Ron would mutter traitor under his breath. Harry would just give me the dirtiest looks. He looked like he could've killed me. Hermione was the only one who would talk to me. Even when she did, Harry and Ron weren't too happy with her. So to answer your question things with them aren't going to well." Carmillia replied with a sigh.
"Just give it time, they'll come around. They'll just need some time to adjust" Draco said.
"I think maybe I'll go see Dumbledore and have him talk some sense into those two. Because I've given up trying and their not listening." Carmilla said.
"We might as well do our homework these professors are starting to get a bit outrageous with their homework." Draco said.
"This is the year that we take our O.W.L.'s." Carmilla replied.
"Well the only bright side is that you can get your apparition license at the end of this year. I hope they post the date the classes begin."
"I didn't know that I'll have to ask Professor McGonagall if I have to take that class." Carmilla said.
"Wait a minute why would you have to do that?" Draco asked.
"Because vampires can already apparate, I don't need a class to teach me how to do something I already know."
"I didn't know you knew how to apparate."
"You never asked." Carmilla replied
"Anyways you might just have to take the test so that you can get your license. You'll have to ask your head of house about that one. Now what else is there that I don't know about you?" Draco asked.
"Things that you'll learn all in due time my dear." Carmilla replied with a smirk.
"It's nothing to crazy is it." Draco said.
"There are so many things that I could show you but for now will take things one day at a time."
"Oh come on now you have me intrigued, I'm never going to be able to concentrate on homework." Draco replied.
"Oh alright let's see what can I tell you that won't scare you too much. I can extend and retract my fangs at certain times when needed. You've already seen me hit the ceiling. I can crawl up walls, as well as hang from the ceiling. I have the agility of a cat so I'll always land on my feet. So no one could ever push my off the astronomy tower in an attempt to kill me because I will land on my feet. Also vampires have more strength than the average person. If you have a more powerful bloodline then you'll be stronger and more powerful. I think what I've told you for now should satisfy your curiousity for the time being." Carmilla said with a smile.
"For now but someday I'll know everything." Draco replied with his signature smirk.
"Yes someday, but that day is not today." Carmilla replied.
"If we're going to be together for eternity and have children, then I'll know everything."
"Once the word eternity slipped out of his mouth, Carmilla's mind went into a talespin. He wouldn't last an eternity, she would watch him get old and die right before her eyes.
"What's the matter, why do you look so sad."
"Nothing let's just do our homework." Carmilla replied stiffly.
"Ok" Draco replied.
"I think tomorrow I'll ask Dumbledore to talk to Harry and Ron. So they can stop acting like jerks to me."
"Yeah they have been the two biggest gits." Draco said.
"I think they reacted normally, we are from opposing houses. I think I would react the same way if Harry was dating Pansy Parkinson" Carmilla said with a shudder.
That night Carmilla and Draco ate in silence, then went to bed. Neither one of them really bothered to speak to each other. Carmilla's mind was plagued with the thoughts of her decision. Did she make the right choice in getting married to a wizard. At the time it seemed like a good idea, but now she wasn't so sure. She would never really age Draco would get older and eventually die. She had to come to the realization she may have just made the biggest mistake. There was no question in her mind that she loved Draco, it was the simple fact that she would outlive him. This caused a few tears to cascade down her cheeks.
Draco laid in bed going over everything in his head. What had he said to cause her to become so withdrawn. Then he heard it the sound of sniffles. Now she was crying why was she crying. Whoever said marriage was easy obviously was never married. It didn't help the fact that he was only sixteen. This is probably why teenagers don't get married. Their not mentally capable of marriage. He turned over to face her, well her back anyways. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close. This caused her to sniffle more.
"What's the matter why are you crying?" asked Draco.
"I'm not crying I think I'm coming down with a cold." replied Carmilla.
"Don't lie, your horrible at it."
"The realization has finally hit me, I'm immortal and your not. I will outlive you, I'm going to watch you grow old and die. There's no such thing as eternity in our relationship." Carmilla stuttered in between sobs.
"Why are you worrying about that, I'm sure that in time we'll be able to find a way around that. We have other things to worry about let's just put that on the back burner for now." Draco said softly.
"Your right I'm getting way ahead of myself. The whole situation with Harry and Ron has me all nerved up, I just need to get a good night sleep." Carmilla said. They both fell into a deep sleep wrapped in each other's arms. Well almost a deep sleep for Carmilla her dreams were plagued with fears and nightmares of her future.

The next morning Carmilla woke early so that she would be able to talk to Dumbledore before breakfast. She wrote a quick note for Draco letting him know where she would be and that she would meet him after she was done. She quickly showered and dressed and headed for Dumbledore's office, she was hoping that it wasn't too early to go and see him. She said the password and the gargoyle slowly started to wind and the staircase began to turn upwards. Carmilla stepped on the first step and was slowly lifted to the top until she was directly in front of the door to Dumbledore's office. She knocked softly, when she didn't hear an answer she knocked once more only this time a little louder. She heard a muffled come in, she slowly opened the door. Dumbledore was seated at his desk to Carmilla surprise.
"Odd seeing you at such an early hour Mrs. Malfoy." Dumbledore said with a smile. Hearing her being called by that name surprised her he was the only one that did that. Well only in private until the marriage was public he wouldn't dare call her by her married name.
"I'm so sorry to bother you so early but I have a problem, it's with Harry and Ron. I've tried to explain things to them and now they hate me. They don't even know the whole story. I don't know what to do the only one that understands is Hermione and that's because I told her everything. But those two won't even give me a chance to explain." Carmilla said in a frustrated tone.
"It's alright I'll have a talk with them, I'll set them straight. I had a feeling that Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley would have a hard time accepting your new relationship."
"You aren't kidding, all they've done is give me dirty looks and mumble traitor under their breath. I knew this would cause some tension between houses but I didn't think that it would ruin my friendship with Harry and Ron." Carmilla said sadly.
"Everything will be alright I'll have a talk with them after breakfast. Now why don't you go to breakfast you need to eat so that you'll have the strength to pay attention in your lessons." Dumbldore said with a twinkle in his eye.
"Thank you professor for everything." Carmilla said. She made her way down to the great hall to wait for Draco so that they could eat breakfast.
Reviews would be lovely and motivate me to try to focus on writing more chapters.....*bats eyelashes*
