2 years later (summer before 6th year)

Wow. Time certainly flies when you're having fun. I must say there have been some fun times in these past two years. Allie has found herself a boyfriend, none other than Bill Weasley. She and Fred decided that they were better off as friends. Fred actually was the one who hooked them up. They've been going strong for about 4 months now. Taylor has a slightly different story. She and Luca broke up shortly after he went back to Bulgaria with Durmstrang. I'm sure she'll find someone soon that will spark her fancy.

As for me, it's coming up on Draco and my 2-year anniversary, and we couldn't be happier. We still haven't had sex, I was only 14 when we met, sheesh, but it has been harder and harder to get Draco under control when things get heated. Things haven't all been grand. I remember one time when Draco and I got into this ridiculous fight about me being moody during PMS. I told Allie and Taylor all about it and boy did they have some ideas for revenge. It was the Slytherin versus Ravenclaw Quidditch match and we were all waiting for the teams to come out onto the pitch.

My heart leaps as I see Draco come out in his hot Slytherin uniform, complete with striking forest green top and tight white pants, not to mention the billowing cloak. Why does he have to look so hot? Stupid prick. I look next to me right in time to see Allie and Taylor give each other a head nod. Uh oh. Here we go. I hear Allie whisper a spell and it hit Draco just as he was shaking hands with the Ravenclaw captain. All of a sudden Draco doubles over in pain.

"What did you do to him?" I ask Allie.

"Just watch and see," she replies with a smirk. "HEY DRACO! Seems you got a little something on your pants!" Allie screams loud enough that everyone can hear.

Everyone turns to look at Draco as he looks down to see a red spot form on his nice white pants, right by his crotch. He gasps and tries to cover himself quickly.

"Allie, you didn't!" I gasp.

"Oh, but I did. Now Draco knows what it's like to have his period," Allie laughed.

Draco turned bright red (almost as read as his pants were getting) as everyone in the stands start cracking up laughing. Just as Draco turns to run away, Taylor whispers another spell. Draco pauses as he feels the curse hit him and looks around to make sure nothing else was happening to him. He makes a sigh of relief as he starts to walk away again. His first step is fine, but the minute he steps on his right foot, it feels as if he got a kick in his ass. He jumps forward with a yelp of pain. Everyone seems to burst out laughing even harder. Draco runs as fast as he can out of the pitch, while getting "kicked in the ass" every two steps and bleeding profusely. I turn to my two friends and just shake my head as I chuckle. After 5 cruel days of torture, Draco comes crawling back, literally since he can't exactly walk, and begs me for forgiveness. Let's just say that we never fought over my period again.

My favorite memory of these past 2 years would definitely have to be when Draco first said he loved me. It was spring of our 5th year at Hogwarts. I had finally "persuaded" the one and only Ice Prince himself to join the choir. I must admit I was a bit surprised when Draco started to sing and this rich, beautiful baritone voice came out. We blended together perfectly, me with my soprano voice and his baritone. The choir director was so impressed with our singing that she gave us the ending number duet. The choir was doing a Phantom of the Opera medley (yes wizards know about Phantom). He and I sung a little piece called "All I Ask of You."

The rehearsals were going really well and we sounded great. The only problem was that when we got to the lines "Say you love me…. you know I do," Draco would always become distant and turn away from me. The choir director tried to get him more into the song, but nothing would change his views.

It soon was time to perform the medley in front of the whole school and all of us were feeling the stage fright jitters. We started off great, making our way through "Masquerade" and "Phantom of the Opera". Everything was going smoothly as Draco and I stepped off the risers to go to the microphones at center stage. I prayed to Merlin that everything would go well as Draco started singing his part. Something was different about Draco. He seemed to be getting really into the song and started acting it out. He gave me his ravishing smile and a wink as he walked behind me and wrapped his arms around me as he continued to sing. I leaned into his chest as I started to sing and started acting out the song as well.

We were really into the song and it seemed as if there was no one else but us. Then came the dreaded part where Draco usually turned cold and disconnected. I was holding both of his hands and looked him dead in the eyes as I sang, "Say you love me…". Instead of turning away from me, like he usually did, he pulled me closer and with a glint in his eyes, he whispered into my ear "You know I do…". I was shocked but tried to hide it with a gleeful smile. He pulled back and looked me in the eye and smiled as we sang together, "Love me, that's all I ask of you." We passionately kissed during the musical interlude. We pulled back and sang our hearts out as we finished the song and we kissed sweetly at the end. We only broke apart when we heard furious clapping and hollering for us. We slyly looked at each other and took our bows.

We walked off stage and I pulled Draco off to the side.

"Did you mean it? Did you mean it when you said you loved me, Draco?" I asked hopefully.

"Yes. For once in my life I finally made my own choice and figured out that I am utterly, head over heels, madly in love with you," he exclaimed as he picked me up and twirled me. He gives me a kiss on the lips before saying, "You don't know how hard it was to tell you that. I'm not one of those people who wears his emotions on his sleeves."

I giggle and said, "You can say that again."

"Seriously," he says staring deep into my eyes. "I was always raised that Malfoy's never show their feelings, but Merlin Rachel! You've made me feel things that I thought I would never in my lifetime feel. I love you so much and could never see my life without you in it."

I beamed and hugged him tightly as I responded, "I love you! I love you so much, Draco! You don't know how happy you have made me."

Life couldn't be better, but what will happen when 6th year starts?
