I own nothing and never will.
More sweetness from Draco and about Snape here, if you don't like it, that's to bad, this is how I see them.
The sound of a knock down stairs woke her up at two o'clock the next morning, she rolled over and looked around at the other girls but they were all still soundly asleep. Figuring the persistent knocker down stairs wasn't going to go away she got up, up on her robe, and walked quietly down to the portrait door. Opening the door she was shocked to see who was on the other side.
"Good I was worried someone else would answer. I need to speak with you privately," reaching out and grabbing Kagome's hand he pulls her out the door and down the stairs, "follow me and stay quiet." He led her down a few more stairways and halls before he finally got to the door he was looking for. Slowly entering and looking around he dropped her hand and sat down in one of the chairs the room offered him, motioning for her to do the same.
Kagome looked around the room quietly for a moment; she hadn't been in here since last year as a member of Dumbledore's Army. Her eyes scanning the area before landing on the person who brought her here, "What was so urgent that you had to beat down my portrait at two in the morning?"
"Snape and Dumbledore came by to speak with me last night." he looks at her as she gives him the 'okay why does that concern me' look, "Dumbledore told me that I shouldn't hide my feelings and that I should have cared more about you then what others thought. Snape nearly growled as Dumbledore said 'not to worry it will help house unison for us to be dating'."
"I'm sorry wait and repeat. Dumbledore thinks we were dating?"
"He said he knew the moment you started talking about how no one would understand, or accept it, or whatever. That's not the point; the point is apparently we are romantically involved and it doesn't matter what anyone should say."
Seeing the look of exasperation across his face Kagome couldn't hold back the laughter anymore. Bending over herself and holding her stomach she started to tear up as the boy slowly smiled and joined in the laughing fit. Finally after about ten minutes they both started to calm down and catch their breath.
"I'm sorry Draco, he and Professor McGonagall were asking me questions and I wouldn't give them a name so I guess he tried to put the pieces together with the wrong puzzle picture."
"Yea that's what Snape and I already came up with. But we also came up with an idea of how you two could be back together." seeing her perk up he smiled and continued, "You and I start dating."
"Wait what?"
"If we start dating in public, then you can continue seeing him in private. We already discussed it and everything that goes into us having a relationship."
"You would be willing to do that for us? What about your friends, your house?"
"I'll explain everything to them in the morning. Slytherins fight and protect ours, we won't back down, and you being with Snape makes you one of us. We will protect and accept you, no questions asked. I just had to make sure you were okay with this first, with the you know, being my girlfriend part."
"What exactly is expected of me as your girlfriend?"
Draco smirks, "Me and Snape discussed that already as well. Apparently you told Dumbledore we were… serious, so our relationship will have to seem serious. Snape has declared that I can hold you and kiss you," stopping to get his evil smirk, "however I am not to know what color your undergarments are and I am to keep my hands on the outside of your uniform."
They both smile at that, "So he actually agreed to let you kiss me?"
"It was a long discussion. And I now you have always wondered what it would be like to kiss me, every girl has."
"Your right you caught me. Whatever shall I do now?" she puts the back of her hand on her forehead and sighs, then looks at him and giggles, "So when are we planning on getting back together?"
"That was something else I wanted to discuss with you. It has to be something public especially with all the rumors you have going on about you. I think you should get mad and storm out during breakfast then I can glare and follow you, the rumors will start there, then we can be caught kissing or something. After that, BAM, we're dating." he smiles a goofy smile at her.
And just like that she's sad that she didn't give him more of a chance when she first arrived at the school. It was obvious that they were now going to be great friends and she was glad that she had this chance to see this side of him. Getting up she moved over to sit in his chair with him and let her arms slide around his shoulders. It was obvious by the way he tensed up that he wasn't used to touching and comfort, she made it a plan to find a way to get him to open up and find happiness. After a few moments his arms circled around her waist and he began hugging her back.
"Thank you."
He moved to look at her face, "For what?"
"For proving to me that you are the good man I thought you were inside." he leaned down and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you for having faith in me."
She looks up at him, "You know even if we weren't dating you could still come talk to me about anything you need."
Separating he looks at her seriously, "Is it true that Snape told you?"
"About him being a Death Eater? Yes, he has, he also told me about is promise to protect you."
"And you still stayed with him even after all that?"
"Yes, I would stay with him no matter what, I love him Draco. But he did take the time to explain everything to me, so I understand everything that he has done. I fully accept Severus for the man that he is and everything that made him that way. That's all part of loving someone, you can't just love one part of someone, you have to love them all; the good, the bad, and the indifferent."
"Can I confess something to you?"
"Anything Draco, I hold no judgment over you, it's not in me to."
He slowly starts rolling up his left sleeve, not taking his eyes off Kagome to judge her reaction, as his mark starts to show. Waiting until he had the full mark exposed she trails her fingers softly over the design, as the tips of her fingers start to glow a soft pink. He gasps as he feels the pain start to become less and less until he can't even tell there the mark was applied. Looking down to see the mark still there he looks up at her with shocked eyes.
"Severus told me it hurt for a year after he first got his and the pain still flares occasionally, my priestess abilities block the evil under the surface, you will still be able to feel when he calls you but you won't any other time. It's the least I can do to thank you."
He stares at her for a minute then at his mark; finally he leans down and hugs her again. She knew he didn't want the mark, he didn't want to serve the Dark Lord, but the choice was taken from him by his blood. Ending the hug he got up and started to lead her back to the tower; all the while holding her hand and thinking the Gods for bringing her into his and Snape's lives.
Thank you and you know what to do, review and take my poll!
