Hello everyone! I know I said I was going to make a Dramione fic (And I did) But I removed it from the site because of 2 reasons. 1. I could not think of any way to make it go on longer than 1 chapter and 2. I couldn't figure out how to make it a one-shot. Sorry if you wanted to read it, but I'm going to stick with this one for now. On that note… Here's another chapter.
(Draco's point of view)
"I don't understand. Why must it be me?" I asked in a timid voice. "Because you were asked to do so by the Dark Lord. No one questions the Dark Lord. No one dares defy him. He would see you dead in an instant."
I looked over the lake and watched the dragons nesting. I had come to see them as an omen. A sign that things would change for me. They had been present when my life was saved by Luna, and they now watch me. No one understood what it was like to be me. My whole life was planned out. They planned who I loved, who I hated, who I killed. It made no difference to anyone what I thought of killing the Weasley's oldest son. Whether or not I felt like murdering my childhood friend for "practice." Everything they said made me sick. So why did I hate myself for being the cause of their death.
"Are you thinking?" A dreamy voice sounded behind me. "I like to come out here to think. The water likes to listen you know." I looked back to see Luna. "Leave me be." I snapped sourly. I thought she would leave me and I would continue to mope, but instead she sat down beside me and stared dreamily out to the shore beyond. I stared incredulously at her and opened my mouth to speak, then thought better of it. She didn't move at all until I became relaxed. She moved closer to my side and snuggled her head into the crook of my neck. It felt nice to be close to her, and I wondered if what I was feeling was truly love. I wrapped my arms around her and she sighed. I lay my head backwards on the tree behind me. We sat there for what seemed liked days, neither thinking nor aware of the world around us. After an hour or so I felt her breath on my neck and looked over to see her peacefully sleeping. I smirked and lay back, Luna curled in a ball beside me, and fell into a soft, dreamless slumber.
I woke the next day to find at least four faces staring down at me. "We found you!" Granger cried. I looked at her confused, until remembering that Luna and I had not returned the previous night. I started to sit up before remembering the sleeping girl beside me. I gently rocked her until she woke up. She smiled up at me with a strange emotion in her eyes. No one had ever looked at me with that look before. "Good morning!" She exclaimed happily, as if seeing me had brought her great joy. We sat up and I hit my head on Potters as he bent down to help us up. We both laughed and in that moment, I wondered what had really made me hate him all those years. "Um… Sorry!" He laughed, grabbing my forearm to help me up. "May I ask what you were doing out here?" The Weaslette asked with a look of disgust at me. Before I could answer, Luna stepped in. "I came to look for him and we fell asleep." She stated. "And I would appreciate it if you didn't make that face at Draco. It's rude." I, along with the other four, looked at her in disbelief. Did she really just stand up for me? I looked questionably at Longbottom, who just shrugged. "Well, we are all glad you were found." Granger stepped in quickly. The four Gryffindor's nodded in agreement and walked off.
"I guess that leaves you and I!" Luna clapped merrily. In that instant, I envied her, how easy it was for her to be happy. I knew that I wanted to be like that too.
I strode confidently towards her, cupping her face in my hands. I bent down and slowly kissed her, tasted her. She gasped but eased into the kiss. For those few seconds I felt truly happy. And then the gun was shot.
Sorry… another short chapter. I tried harder to drag it out however. I'm over 250 views so thank you to everyone who read this! I can't update tomorrow because of dance but I will update Tuesday for sure! BYEE!
