DRACO

He was punishing me for not killing Dumbledore, I knew it. There was no other reason. That man didn't have one damn emotion in him. Voldemort had no pity or remorse for his actions. He was a great man, but he was a heartless bastard too.

That's why I had to make that day with Josie special. It would be our last until Harry Potter killed the Dark Lord, or…

No, I couldn't think about the other option. The thought that I would have to watch my Josie be with Voldemort was too much to bear.

"Hello, handsome," came a playful voice from behind me. I put on a smile I turned around. I am always breathless when I see Josie.

"Hello, beautiful," I replied. I place my hand on her shoulder and kissed her cheek. "What have you got planned today?" The dress she was wearing was making it hard to breathe. I had bought it for her about a year ago. It was the first gift I bought her for no reason.

Of course, what an ironic day to where something so precious to me, he thought.

"Whatever you want to do, but after a picnic. I think you'll enjoy what I've made." She smiled as she pulled the basket up to her chest.

"A picnic sounds really good right now." I grabbed the basket with one hand and her hand with the other. I lead her to our tree where we had our first kiss.

"Oh, I love this place," she said. What a romantic.

"Draco, what are you doing? Why are you staring at me like that?" Josie asked. I couldn't help it. I was nervous. I had to kiss her now or I would never be able to again."Draco? Hello? Are you still coherent?"

I chuckled. She always knew how to make me feel more comfortable. I took a deep breath. "Josie, I really… really… like you. A lot."

"Duh! I thought we had established this one already. That's why we've been on these past two dates." She smirked up at me.

I placed my hand on her neck, softly. I leaned down and slowly until my lips were almost touching hers. She closed the space with her gentle kiss. I started the kiss slow, trying to a gentleman. But as the kiss grew deeper and her hands were rubbing my back, I couldn't help myself.

I brought my other hand to the back of her head and pulled her closer to me. I tilted her head back to make it easier to kiss her. She tasted so sweet. I felt like a child again, when I ate all the tarts before dinner. I couldn't help it, I needed all of her right then and there…

"Draco, you get lost in your own little world so easily," Josie said, poking him with her fork. I blinked and looked down at the array of food she had set up. Traditional Sheppard's Pie, but also with her spaghetti and meat sauce, pumpkin pie, and my favorite, her strawberry pasties.

"I was just thinking about when we had our first kiss, that's all," I said, scooping the entrées onto a paper plate.

She smirked. "Really? I think I forgot how it went. Could you remind me again?"

I put down my plate and got on my knees. "I think I could do that," I whispered.

"Draco, are you sure about this? I mean, we don't have to do this now if you don't want to," Josie managed though deep and nervous breaths.

"I think I could ask you the same thing." I tried to be soothing. After all, she was going to be the one in pain. And I would be the one causing it.

"I just… I can't wait any longer to not be with you. I need to… you know." It was getting hard for her to breathe now, so I just leaned in to kiss her gently. She returned it eagerly as I slowly backed her up to the wall of her living room. Her hands found themselves on my hips as mine adventured down to each button on her blouse.

I moved my lips down her jaw line to her neck as I slipped her shirt off. She pulled my sweater over my head. I picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. Things went more quickly from there. It seemed like I blinked and she lying on her bed in just her bra and underwear and I stood before her in my boxers. She was smiling excitedly up at me.

I dropped to one knee at the end of her bed and hooked my fingers on the side of her panties. I pulled them down her legs and tossed them aside. I pulled her closer to me until her knees were over my shoulders. I watched her chest rise and fall for a moment before kissing her between her legs. She gasped almost inaudibly. "Draco…?" she questioned quietly.

I kissed her once more before moving my lips up her naval. I paused at her breasts, kissing each of them in turn. I looked up at her quickly to take in her face. She was smiling with her eyes closed and she was biting her lip. She was enjoying it, though she was nervous…

"You're apartment? Are you sure? I mean, your mother doesn't even know where you live, and you want to take me there?" she asked when I told her what I wanted.

"Yes, Josie. I want today to be special," I replied, kissing her hand.

"Your mother will be angry with you and with me. She already doesn't like me as it is."

"That is not true, and you know it." She dropped her head in guilt. I wrapped my arms around her. "Josie, please. Don't feel bad." She kept her head down, but I heard her mumble an agreement. I smiled and led her to her car.

It was another one of her Muggle conformities, but she hadn't succeeded to convince me that I needed on. A cell phone is one thing, but a car?

It was quiet the whole ride to my place. I couldn't help but think that this was the last time that I was going to be with her. I had to make this different, something that will be of a comfort to her as she was going to be forced into… enslavement.

"Here," I said as we approached my complex. She turned in and gaped up at the extravagant buildings. She hadn't grown up as privileged as I had, so it was nice to feel like I still impressed her with something.

"Draco, are you sure about this? I mean, it's not a problem that we go…"

"Josie. No. I said that I want you to come to my place. Ignore what I said about the Dark Lord. This has nothing to do with him. This is for us," I said firmly. She pulled her lips in tight as I pointed to my building. She knew that it was final. "Jo, I'm sorry that I raised my voice."

"Draco, I just don't want to make your mother upset, that's all. I didn't know you wanted this so badly. So I'm not protesting."

"Well, I think you'll like it." I got out of my side and quickly tried to get to her side before she got out, but I was too late, as always. She looked at me apologetically, but I smiled and grabbed her hand. I was used to her independence.

As soon as I closed the door, I grabbed her. The kissing was intense from the start. My hand were on her neck, her were on my back and they wouldn't stop moving.

I walked her to the closest wall and I moved my hands down her front, pausing briefly at her breast. I unbuttoned her blouse slowly, and her eyes followed my fingers as I did so. Pulling it off, she pushed me to the other side of the hallway, messing with my belt. I rotated her around that she was back against the wall. She smiled up at me and I kissed her again.

I wrapped my arms around her and lifted slightly. She wrapped her legs around my waist and I carried her to my room. She was making it hard to walk with her kissing my neck and shoulders softly.

"A waterbed, Draco? You have a waterbed?" she muttered as I put her on my bed. I nodded as I unbuttoned her jeans. She laughed out loud. It was harmonious and beautiful – there was no other sound like it. It sent an electrical pulse through my body, centering at my groin.

As she wiggled out of her jeans, she sat up and put her hand on my face. "I love you, Draco Malfoy," she whispered, before wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me down on top of her. I love you too, Josie. I hope you never forget that is what that small voice in my head said in reply; knowing what would lie ahead for her, she would need to know…
