Summer before 6th year at Hogwarts

"Ahhh…yes…Draco…right there. That feels so good," I moan. "Harder…HARDER! Oh yeah…"

"Right there?" Draco asks me breathless.

"Oh God yes!" I answer just as breathless.

Ohh Draco sure knows how to please a girl. He gives the best massages in the whole entire wizarding world. Gets the stress out after a long day.

"It was so nice of your parents to let you stay a week with me this summer," I say as Draco finishes the massage.

"Well after about two weeks of whining and moaning about how much I missed you, they gave up and let me come, rather than hear anymore of me," Draco chuckles. "Now flip over, it's my turn!"

"Ok! OK!" I giggle.

"You know I had a long day too!"

"I know, I know. Thanks, by the way, for helping de-gnome the gardens. You didn't have to," I say while massaging his back.

"If that meant spending more time around you're smiling face, I'd do it a hundred times," he says as he yawns. "You're cute when you blush."

"How'd you know I was blushing?" I inquire. "You're on your stomach."

"I just know you that well," he explains while yawning again. "I didn't realize how tired I am."

"Yeah well that kind of work takes a lot out of you."

As I continue to massage his back, I can tell Draco is falling asleep.

"I'm so glad you're here with me. I don't know what I'd do without you. I love you so much," I whisper in his ear.

"I…love you…too," he says half-awake. "I just hope…everything goes well this year…"

"What do you mean, Draco?" I say startled. I try not to convey any worry in my voice. I don't think he knows what he's saying.

"It's just this whole Dark Lord thing…YAWN…I hope you'll still love me…"

"Of course I will! I'll always love you!"

"Good. I love you too…I just wish it wouldn't make me so tired."

"It's ok. Just go to sleep."

"I'll make it up to you…" he whispers right before falling fast asleep.

I think it may be time for a little chat with the girls.

Later that week

"All I'm saying is that I don't want Draco to go through with it. He could hurt himself as well as others," I try to explain to Allie and Taylor.

"But Rae, you've read all the books, multiple times may I add. You know that he lives," Allie explains.

"…And gets married!" Taylor adds in. "Maybe you'll be his lucky bride."

"Possibly…but we're definitely not naming our kid Scorpius," I giggle nervously.

"Rae…" Allie says seriously, "You know it has to be done."

"I know I just don't want to admit it." I begin to ponder a way out as Allie and Taylor give each other a worried look.

"If you want to, we can talk to Dumbledore about it," Taylor says.

"Yeah, plus it will be nice to spend time with him before he…well you know…" I say.

"We can go right when we get back to Hogwarts if you'd like," Allie states.

"Yes, please." This might just work.
