Draco was happy with his life at the moment. He was going out with Amy, the love of his life, and she made him happy. He still wasn't exactly friends with Harry, Neville and Ron, but he found The Twins easy to get along with.
But then Voldemort started calling him away at night.
Draco immediately went to see Dumbledore for protection and so he didn't have to sneak out; Dumbledore had listened to Draco and made sure that he could leave Hogwarts grounds unchallenged each time he was called upon.
Draco hadn't received his Dark Mark yet, but he was only safe from it until he was seventeen, a matter of months away. Voldemort had a rule about only giving it to his followers once they were seventeen and had left Hogwarts.
He'd already explained to Amy, although he hated to admit it, it had been a sort of test for her. If she accepted it, he would know she was the one for him, if she didn't then regardless of how much he loved her, he knew she'd never want to be with him. He knew that if she still loved him when he told her then they'd be able to love each other through anything.
At first she had freaked a bit, and backed away from him, but he'd held her back, explaining about his predicament.
*Flashback*
"No-one matters in the world matters more to me them my mother! I don't care about my father; he can go rot in Azkaban for all I care! It's his fault that my mothers in this anyway! Amy believe me! I wouldn't be here if I didn't have to be!"
Shock and disappointment ran fleetingly across her face before she lowered her gaze and after a few moments of silence, nodded at the bed covers lying around her.
"Ok" she whispered, hugging him and burying her face in his chest.
Draco knew she was the one for him now.
*End Of Flashback*
"Yes...she's definitely the one for me" he thought with a small smile as he walked along the corridor to The Room of Requirement to meet with her again.
On opening the door he saw the usual four poster bed with purple bedcovers, they'd decided on a colour that didn't represent any of the houses. The room was warm and he spied Amy standing with her back to him, arms crossed over her chest, looking out of the window over the grounds.
He snuck up behind her and slipping his arms around his hips kissed her cheek, making her jump.
She turned and smacked his arm playfully "Idiot!" she laughed.
She looked at him properly, her smile fading, "do you really have to go again?"
"You know I do..."
"But you only just got back from the last one!"
"I know, but I'll be back on Sunday" he said kissing her forehead.
"You're going to miss the Hogsmeade weekend" she sighed.
"Yes I know...I'm relying on you to bring me back some sweets!"
She laughed before saying playfully "And what do I get in return" before wriggling out of his arms and running to the other side of the room. He growled playfully at her and ran after her, chasing her round the room before finally catching up with her a few minutes later and throwing her, laughing, on the bed before pouncing on her.
