Draco and Amy were sitting on the sofa in The Room of Requirement. Amy had fallen asleep with her head resting on his chest, one of his arms wrapped securely around her waist, the other around her shoulders.

He looked down at the girl sleeping in his arms. He'd been watching her for the past few months, wanting to hold her and protect her. And now he had the chance. He kissed the top of her head lovingly and she moved slightly, sighing before snuggling closer and burying her face into his chest.

He smiled, still looking at her and thought back to what she'd said to him.

"I love you too" were the words he'd longed to hear from her mouth for so long and now he'd heard them, he thought that the love he had for her in his heart was so big that he could give some to everyone in the castle.

"Except Pansy" he thought darkly.

Yes he'd deal with Pansy later. No-one was going to harm Amy as long as she had him.

They'd got a lot of feelings out in the open and they'd spent the whole night talking and kissing. She'd finally fallen asleep in his arms, exhausted and now he was on the verge of sleep as well.

He looked more closely at her, noticing a few things that he'd never thought about before.

She wore a silver necklace in an "X" shape on a short silver chain round her neck. One of the lines was diamond, while the other was plain silver and it lay just above her collar bone, making her neck look even more elegant and slim. He'd never noticed it before, but when he thought back he realised that she'd always worn it, and wondered if it had any significance.

She had beautiful lips, not big and red, more pale pink and normal sized, but in her sleep they were turned upwards slightly at the edges. This was good, he liked people who smiled in their sleep, it meant they were very happy with their life or they'd been happy as they fell asleep. He couldn't believe he'd never noticed her lips before, but then again he had been staring into her eyes most of the time.

He noticed how her eye-lashes were curved and black, even without mascara.

He noticed how the firelight danced of her skin and lit up her face.

Draco softly rested his head on top of hers and whispered his new favourite song lyrics, "Because I Can't Live Without You" and promptly fell asleep, a smile still on his lips.
