I own nothing and never will
She doesn't know when it started, but she did know that it had to end or he would lose his job and she would be expelled. They both knew the consequences if they were caught. Too bad they were both too far gone to care.
"Thank you Severus, for not leaving me."
"I love you more than life itself Kagome, I couldn't ever leave you."
She leans down and kisses him softly, "I love you too Severus, nothing can stop that."
They sit curled up in the chair for a few more minutes, both knowing they had to be up but neither one wanting to leave the peace the moment offered. Finally Kagome slides off his lap and starts righting her uniform. When she finishes she gazes down at Severus and gives him an expecting look.
"Are you planning on getting up or just sitting there watching me?"
"I was simply enjoying the view from where I was sitting." a lazy smile pulling at his lips as he slowly stands and fixes his clothing.
With both of them dressed they share a look and Kagome sighs. Neither wanted to leave but they both knew they had no other choice. Taking her hand Severus leads her to the door and checks for anyone in the hall before letting Kagome walk past him. He gave her one last loving look and kissed the back of her hand before turning and walking towards his classroom.
Turning Kagome starts walking down the hallway to where her charms class was located. Two halls over she sees a group of Slytherin students and slows down her walk before they notice her, hoping to not be seen she silently curses when one of them turn to her.
"I hope you're not meaning to run away little lion, we are silent predators after all."
"Blaise. I said behave." Draco stands from the middle of the crowd smiling at his friend. Coming to stand beside Kagome he kisses her cheek, "I was just filling the others in about us. I hope you don't mind that I started without you."
Looking at him Kagome decides to follow his lead and takes his arm, "Of course I don't mind, it's only fair that yours know since mine do."
"We're not the first to know? That's not right I thought you liked us more than that Draco, I'm hurt." Blaise puts a hand to his heart.
"Oh sod off it wasn't our choice for them to find out first."
"Well then that explains their none to quite reentry to the Great Hall this morning."
Wincing Kagome looks at him, "How bad was it?"
"Pretty bad love, like a quite storm before the Earth gets ripped apart."
"Thank you Blaise, always one for descriptions. I'm sure it will be fine in a few days; no one can stay mad at you for long Kagome. Now shall we head to class or do you feel like completely crossing to the dark side and skipping?"
Kagome smiles and smacks his shoulder, "No skipping I'm afraid even with a Slytherin I'm to Gryffindor for that."
"Give us time; we can work you up to it." Draco sends her a wink as he starts leading the way with her hand on his arm. "What do you think will happen when you show up with us?"
Blaise chuckles from Draco's right side, "I think heads are bound to explode."
"Oh nothing that serious I hope." they all smile as they get closer to the doors.
The charms classroom goes silent as the doors open and in walk the Slytherins, the students gasp as they see Kagome walking in her hand on Draco Malfoy's arm. Professor Flitwick just stands there as the students walk past him to their seats. Draco leads Kagome to her seat next to Luna and kisses her hand before going to his own seat. No sound is made for the next few minutes as everyone tries to mentally comprehend what just happened.
Finally after a few minutes Professor Flitwick shakes his head and goes about teaching the day's lesson.
Luna leans over to Kagome, "You know, it's good to see you happy again."
Kagome faces her with a smile on her face, "You really mean that?"
"You're one of my best friends why would I not mean that?"
"Because it's Draco Malfoy, at least that's why Harry hates me now."
"I wouldn't care if he was the Bloody Barron as long as he treats you right and makes you happy."
Jumping on her friend with a hug, "Luna I love you. You don't know how much you mean to me."
"Miss Higurashi, as glad as I am that your friend means something to you, maybe your charms lessons could mean a little something to you as well."
Looking down with a blush, "Yes Professor."
The class continues its lesson until Professor Flitwick dismisses them. Kagome packs up her things and walks over to Draco.
"Walk me to Herbology?"
Extending his arm to her, "It would be my honor, Kagome."
Ignoring the looks of all of the other students, she takes his arm and lets him lead her to the Herbology classroom.
"Well so far so good, no exploding heads yet and Luna says she approves as long as you treat me right."
"Really? Wow I'm going to have to start being nicer to her."
"You already were nicer to her then most are. You may not go out of your way to be nice but you didn't go out of your way to be mean either. Thank you for that though."
"No problem, she just never really made herself a problem, at least not like others. But your welcome though, none the less."
"What do you think lunch is going to be like?"
"Quite I hope if not I may have to hurt some people."
"Draco. You be nice okay."
"Hey we may be dating but I still have a reputation to uphold. I can't let people start thinking I'm whipped or anything."
Kagome just starts laughing, "Okay you're right, but you could be a little nicer to my friends."
"I'll think about it." He says with a wink.
With that he leads her to her class and everything continues much as the last class did.
