*A/N* I'll give you fair warning, toward the end of this chapter it may get a little "hot" between Lynn and Klaus, but its nothing to steamy. My story is rated 'T' for a reason. I just thought I would let you guys know before hand.**

Chapter 8

Forgiveness

Lynn,

We are so sorry. It's been almost 3 weeks and you haven't said a word to any of us. Please, please talk to us. We want to know how you're doing. Klaus is going stir crazy because you won't answer his letters, and Elijah is so mad at himself that he barely comes out of the library. The only person he will talk to is Hermione, and that's only through letters. Damon is so pissed at himself, that he has gone to Liverpool every night, and he comes home covered in blood. Lynn, he TURNED someone, and just left them to fend for themselves! I have been so angry at myself, that I have even gone to London to feed. We are SORRY! I can't say this about Klaus and Elijah, but for Damon and I, it's so hard sometimes to look at you and not see the 8 girl year old girl running around the house playing with Barbie Dolls. We forget sometimes that your almost 17. You have to understand that. We have raised you your whole life, and it's just instinct to protect you, even though you're a grown woman now. Please forgive us! We love you!

Love,

Stefan

"He turned someone?!" Hermione asked, wide eyed and astonished, as I finished reading the letter out loud.

"That's what Damon does when he gets REALLY depressed." I answered.

"What's a Barbie Doll?" Ron asked.

"Not now Ronald!" Hermione snapped, but then turned to me, "Elijah really is upset. He has told me that he hasn't been outside in almost a week."

"So are you going to forgive them?" Harry asked.

"Not today. I'll let them suffer until tomorrow, then I'll go home when we go to Hogsmeade."

Draco snorted. "Yep you're a Slytherin."

I shrugged. "They will live."

It was our turn to sit at the Gryffindor table that day, so Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise, and I were talking to The Trio at dinner. We had decided that we were going to flip flop back and forth, so every day we ended up at each other's House table. It took almost a week for the whole school to stop staring at us because of our sudden friendship. It was weird though, every time Professor Dumbledore saw us all together, he had a large smile on his face, and a twinkle in his eye. I just don't know why.

Hermione had gotten a letter from Elijah that morning, asking about coming to dinner on Monday, but she didn't know if she should say yes or not, because I was still mad at them. I told her to go for it though. I think somebody likes someone!

"So you're ok with me saying yes to dinner with Elijah?" Hermione asked blushing.

"Of course!" I said with a grin on my face. "Both of you live in a library, so you'll have lots to talk about."

She blushed even redder. "He is so full of knowledge, and he just knows so much!" She gushed.

"You have a crush on Elijah." I said, waving my fork in circles at her, and she, if it were possible, went redder.

"Hermione! He's…He's…"

"What Won-Won? A vampire? Or over a 1,000 years old?" She asked with a scowl, as Lavender sat down beside Ron. "Besides, I don't have a crush on him. I-I just think he has a-a…"

"You should see him with without a shirt on." I said wickedly.

"That's not what I was going to say!" She gasped. "I was going to say, I just think he has a brilliant mind." She said with a nod of her head.

I snorted. "Well be that as it may, I think you too would get along. Like I said, you'll have lots to talk about. But do not forget he is still a vampire, and he does kill people on occasion. So just keep that in mind."

"I know that." She said quietly.

"Alright enough of this girly talk." Harry said. "What's the plan for tomorrow?"

"Zonko's, Honeydukes, Three Broomsticks." Draco said, said wiping his mouth. "I promised Peeves, that I'd get him some more dungbombs."

"Stupid poltergeist. He woke me up at 3:30 this morning and I couldn't go back to sleep." Harry grumbled.

"You guys could come to the house to warm up if you want, and to get some lunch. We won't care." I said.

"Not if you're going to be snogging Klaus all day." Draco snorted.

I sighed. "I do miss him. I feel kinda bad that I have made him suffer so badly, but in a way he deserves it."

"When does he leave as a spy?" Ron asked, shoving food into his mouth.

"Not for awhile. He wrote and said, sometime after Christmas. He's waiting for Mr. Malfoy to gather some more information." I said.

"Yeah, Father said it's best to wait, and not go in there blind."

"I agree. I just wish that we could go in there, kill him, and be done with it. Why does everything have to be so complicated?" Harry sighed.

"It's the magical world. NOTHING is easy." Blaise said.

Just then we heard a scream come from the doors, as Pansy, Millicent, and Daphne burst into the great hall. They looked like they were running from something.

"Blood-traitor! Mudblood!" Pansy screamed. "Come get your stupid cats!"

"Stop! Stop you filthy animals!" Millicent yelled.

The crow came flying into the window, swooped down, and began flapping it's wings in Daphne's face. She screamed and tried to swat it, but it was too fast for her.

"What the hell?" I said, as we all jumped up and ran toward them. "Stop!" I yelled snapping my fingers at Blue, Crookshanks, and the crow. They did, but Blue wasn't happy, he was all poofed out twice his size, hissing, growling, and limping. "What did you do Pansy?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.

"ME? Your stupid cat attacked me for no reason! And then this ugly dust mop came from nowhere and started helping it!" She yelled, as both Blue and Crookshanks started attacking her again.

"I highly doubt that." Blaise said, at the same time Hermione yelled, "Crookshanks isn't a dust mop!"

"What did you do Pansy?" Draco asked calmly. "Because they wouldn't just attack you for no reason."

"What did you do!" I yelled.

"Mistress!" Pinky cried with a loud crack. "Master Damon says, that these girls have placed a curse on your bed in the dorm. He says Master Elijah is on his way!"

"What kind of curse?!" I yelled, rounding on Pansy with my wand drawn. The others backed up quickly.

"I'm not telling!" She yelled. "You deserve anything that happens to you, Blood-traitor!"

"Blue is hurt!" Hermione shouted. "His paw is burned!"

"What!?" I shrieked. I scooped him up in my arms, and sure enough, one of his front paws was burned. "How did this happen!?"

"We believe it's the Flagrante Curse." Elijah said, appearing out of nowhere. He looked a little windswept, so I knew he had apparated, and ran all the way from the main gate. He stripped off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and bit his wrist. "Here Blue." He said softly. "Just a few drops."

Blue yowled loudly and raked his tongue across Elijah's wrist a few times.

"There you go. You'll be good as new in a few minutes." Elijah said, patting his head. Then he turned toward Pansy. Her eyes widened in fear, because Elijah was still vamped out, and had his blood still dripping from his mouth.

"HOW DARE YOU PLACE SUCH A DANGEROUS CURSE ON A BED!" He bellowed, advancing toward her. "ARE YOU A STUPID CHILD? LYNN COULD HAVE BEEN HURT!" He roared.

Pansy and the other girls backed up, until their backs were flat against the wall. "W-We are s-s-sorry!" They stammered.

"ELIJAH NO!" I screamed, as he flashed toward Pansy, and grabbed her by the throat. He nearly bit her neck and ripped her throat out. I ran forward and grabbed his arm. "Please don't! Think about this! If you kill her, I'll get kicked out of school!"

He threw her hard onto the floor, and walked back toward Pinky and the others. "Pinky." He said, trying to get himself under control. "Please head back home and tell the others that I'm here now, and will be dealing with the situation."

"Yes Master Elijah." And she disappeared.

"Look at me." I said, grabbing the sides of his face. "It'll be ok. Please calm down. Please."

He wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me toward him. "I'm sorry. You could have been seriously hurt, and I lost my temper."

"The Flagrante Curse? Is that what you said she used?" Harry asked. "What is that?"

Elijah nodded, "Yes we think that's what it is. It's a curse that emits a searing, burning heat, that will burn skin and clothes when touched."

Professor Dumbledore came down from the head table followed by Professor Snape. "The Flagrante Curse? We need to check the rest of Miss Salvatore's things immediately, and get her a new bed." Professor Dumbledore said.

The guys had to stay in the common room, because the stairs wouldn't let them into the dorm, but Elijah and Professors Dumbledore and Snape however, followed Lavender, Hermione, and I into the dorm room.

"It's that one." I said pointing to my bed.

Elijah walked forward and put his hand on it, and instantly jerked it back. "Yep, it's the Flagrante Curse." He said, as he held up his hand and showing where it had been burned. "Lynn where is your other things?"

I pointed to my bedside table and my closet space, and he started to go through them. Come to find out that stupid little…witch, had cursed all my muggle clothes, and anything else she deemed muggle! Thankfully she hadn't messed with my school robes, and other school stuff, but by the time Elijah had gone through all my belongings, there was a big pile of useless things all over the floor.

"I am going to kill her!" I said through gritted teeth, as Elijah threw my favorite pair of boots onto the pile.

"Don't worry Miss Salvatore, Miss Parkinson and the others will be dealt with very firmly." Professor Snape said, glaring at the pile of stuff.

"Severus, I trust you will be writing to their parents as well?" Professor Dumbledore asked.

He nodded, "Absolutely Headmaster."

"Albus, I'm sorry I lost my temper and nearly killed her. It won't happen again. You have my word." Elijah said, looking a little ashamed of himself. "I should know better."

"Nonsense Elijah. I am thankful, of course, that you didn't kill her, but you are a vampire, and it is your nature to protect someone you love. Don't think anything of it."

"Isn't there some kind of counter curse or something?" Lavender asked, looking at all my stuff on the floor.

Professor Dumbledore shook his head. "No Miss Brown, I'm afraid not." He said, as he waved his wand and banished the bed. He replaced it with a new one, that I'm pretty sure was bigger and more comfortable. I'll have to check that out later.

"As for your other things Sweetheart," Elijah said, waving his own wand and making the rest of my things disappear. "On the first day of Christmas break, we will go shopping and get you some more muggle clothes. Do you have any left at home?"

I sighed. "Yeah, but they are mostly old clothes, but they still fit so it'll be ok. I'll get them tomorrow when I get home. We have a Hogsmeade trip tomorrow."

Elijah walked over and kissed my forehead. "We know."

"Damn vampire hearing." I muttered, but I smiled at him. "Tell the others I'll be there sometime after breakfast." That should make them happy!

"If I may ask," Professor Snape said, as we walked back into the common room. "How did you know this had happened?"

"Well, " Elijah said. "Blue overheard them saying something about Lynn's things, and how she would be burned. He didn't know they were talking about her bed also. He went to investigate, jumped on the bed, and his paw got burnt. He started crying out in pain, and Damon heard him through the crow's ears, so he asked Blue what happened. Blue told the crow/Damon what he overheard, and crow/Damon told him what we thought it was. Blue got mad and went after the girls, and started to chase and attack them. Apparently sometime during the chase Crookshanks got involved, and well…you know the rest."

We all burst out laughing. "Such a smart kitty!" I cried scooping Blue up in my arms. "And Crookshanks, I thank you too!" I exclaimed, as I also scooped him up in my arms. Both cats purred and nudged my chin.

"Good kitty Crookshanks." Hermione cooed, taking him from me, and cuddling him. "Such a good kitty."

"Lynn, do you need anything from home? Pajamas, or anything?" Elijah asked.

"Maybe, but I have some clothes the dirty laundry…."

"I'll ask the house elves to do your laundry right away. You'll have your clothes cleaned before bedtime." Professor Dumbledore said.

I smiled at him. "Thank you sir, that would be wonderful."

"Alright, I guess I'll be going then." He said, kissing me on the cheek. Then he turned to Hermione. "Miss Granger, would you mind walking with me to the front doors? I would like to talk with you about something."

Lavender and I exchanged a quick glance then we grinned at her. Hermione looked at Elijah and blushed. "I'd love too." She said shyly.

"Meet us back here when you're done!" I cried, as they walked out the common room door, and Lavender and I burst into giggles. The guys just rolled their eyes at us.

"Well then, I better go speak with the house elves. Severus, you don't mind if the Gryffindors remain here until curfew do you?" Dumbledore asked, with a twinkle in his eye.

Professor Snape narrowed his eyes at them and said, "As long as they behave themselves, they are welcome anytime."

"Splendid!" Dumbledore cried. "Well, I better go." And with a swish of his robes he walked out the door.

Snape raised an eyebrow at us, and made his way out of the common room, as more Slytherins started coming in from dinner. They were surprised to see a bunch of Gryffindors sitting in their common room, but they didn't say anything. They just took seats by the fireplace or went to their dorms.

"I guess it's only fair." Draco said, grabbing a wizard chess game. "Professor Lupin doesn't care if we're in the Gryffindor common room."

"True." Harry said, sitting down across from him.

They started a game of chess, and Ron, Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle started a game of exploding snap. Lavender and I however, started talking about Hermione and Elijah.

"Do you think he will kiss her?" Lavender asked.

"Oh no, Elijah is too proper for that. He's old fashioned, but in a gentlemen sorta way." I replied.

"What's he really like?"

I sighed and leaned back against the couch. "Well, he is moral and honest. His word is his bond, and he will hold you to your word if you make him a promise. He is very compassionate and loving, but don't make him angry. You saw what happens when you threaten someone he loves. He has a strange sense of humor when you make him angry too, but that's the vampire coming out in him. Despite being a vampire though, he regards human life with respect. He never kills anyone unless they deserve it. He would have killed Pansy tonight, if I hadn't stopped him."

"Would he ever hurt Hermione?" Harry asked, looking up from the chess board.

"No he wouldn't. Hermione is too sweet of a person to make him angry or mad, and if she by some chance did, he would forgive her. He'd never hurt or kill her."

"He's a vampire!" Ron shouted, making the other Slytherins look up from whatever they were doing.

"And your point is...?" I asked. "I've lived with vampires for almost 17 years, and I'm dating one. So I ask again, your point..is..what?"

"I'm just worried about her." He mumbled.

"Ron, they aren't even dating. They are just friends." Lavender said.

"Even if they started dating, Elijah will not disrespect her. He's not like Damon. Damon uses women for playthings, and he enjoys it." The crow squawked overhead and we all looked up. "Well it's true and you know it!" I laughed, and the crow ruffled it's feathers, as some of the seventh year boys snickered.

Draco laughed, "Well after seeing Elijah get angry tonight, I'll never make a vampire mad."

"She's lucky it wasn't Klaus, because he would have killed her. That's probably why Elijah came in the first place. I wouldn't have been able to stop Klaus or Damon."

Lavender sighed. "Klaus is so hot. He really is Lynn, you're lucky." Ron shot her a dirty look.

"Don't make me hex you." I laughed. "I'm just kidding. I am lucky, and I'm thankful for him. He really is a sweetheart once you get to know him, but I hated him the first time I met him. I really did want to kill him because I thought he was a major jackass."

"I bet he has a nice body." Lavender giggled, and a few Slytherin girls agreed.

"Girls, you should see him when he's wearing nothing but jeans!" I cried, and burst out laughing. "It's enough to make your heart stop dead."

"Alright, alright that's enough of that!" Draco said, throwing and handful of Bertie Botts at us. The rest of the guys in the room rolled their eyes, as the other girls and I fell into a fit of giggles.

Just then the common room door burst open and Pansy and her friends stormed in. Hermione followed her in too, and was scowling at her.

"We can't go to Hogsmeade for the rest of the year! We have detention every Saturday until Christmas, and a note is being sent home to our parents! And it's all your fault you stupid Blood-traitor!" Pansy yelled. I can't stand it when people blame others for their dumbassery!

"Well it's not my fault you're an Assbutt." I said, and shrugged my shoulders.

"Assbutt?!" Blaise cried, and burst out laughing.

I grinned. "Yeah it's from of one of my favorite TV shows called Supernatural. It's an awesome show. I'm having the boys record all the episodes for me while I'm here."

"Stupid Blood-traitor! You and your stupid muggle things! I'm glad they had to banish all of it! And why the hell is there a bunch of Gryffindors in OUR common room. Are you lost?!" Pansy cried.

"Because I have allowed them to be here whenever they want Miss Parkinson." Snape said coming up behind her. "I didn't realize I needed your permission to do what I please in my own House. I think we should make it detention until February for you. Maybe by then you will have learned some manners."

Pansy looked like she wanted to say something else but decided against it, and stomped up the stairs to the dorm room.

Snape looked around at us and said, "However, it is almost curfew, so you will have to leave soon. Please be aware of the time." And with a billowing of his robes he headed into his chambers.

"Are you ok?" I asked, looking at Hermione.

"Yeah, she just called me a mudblood…again." She shrugged.

I looked up at the crow. "Hey Damon, give her extra hell tonight because of it." I said, and the crow squawked and flew down toward Hermione. It landed on her shoulder, and rubbed it's head against her cheek. "It's his way of saying…don't worry, I will." I said laughing.

Hermione grinned at it. "Thanks." It squawked, and flew out the window.

"So tell us what Elijah wanted." Lavender giggled.

She blushed and sat down. "Well, first he apologized for his behavior tonight, and said he hoped he hadn't frightened me. I told him, yes he did, but I know and understand why he did it. He was just protecting Lynn. I told him that I was a very upset by his aggression, but I'm thankful that he was able to control himself. Especially under the circumstances. Then he told me, that he would understand if I didn't accept his dinner proposal. I told him it was nonsense, and that I'd love to have dinner with him. He said he was very pleased to hear that, and that he wants to give me something on Monday. He's said he hopes I will enjoy it very much. Then he said goodnight to me, and kissed my hand." She said blushing again, and holding up her hand.

Lavender grinned at her, and sighed. "He sounds so romantic!" And I could see Ron roll his eyes at her from the corner of my eye.

Blaise laughed, "How are any of us supposed to snag girlfriends if all these 'romantic' vampires are hanging around all day, hogging all the attention?"

A sixth year girl snickered. "Well Blaise, you'll just have to try harder. They really are hot though." She said looking at me. "I wish I lived with them."

I grinned at her."Well it does have its good moments." I said, grinning wickedly. "Like the time Klaus stepped out the shower, as I was walking into the bathroom. Or like the time Damon thought no one was home, and came walking downstairs in his underwear…."

"Ok time to go!" Harry said standing up, as Blaise started to throw Draco's Bertie Botts at me.

The other girls laughed, and the guys all shook their heads. We said goodnight to our Gryffindor friends, but before they walked out I said. "Hey Hermione, tomorrow I'll tell you the story about the time I stole Elijah's pants and…"

"She doesn't want to hear that!" Ron cried, as he covered her ears. We all laughed, as they walked out the door. I'm so evil!

I woke up sometime during the night to Pansy screaming, but I just grinned, cast a silencing charm, and went back to sleep. Come to find out Damon had given her a dream that had the boys drowning her in a pit of mud and blood. He also had given her a nightmare where they locked her in a tiny room with Klaus transforming into a werewolf, and he was stalking her all night. She didn't look at me at breakfast the next morning, but I didn't care. I was going home to see my family, and I was in a good mood. It serves her right!

"Honey I'm home!" I cried, as I stepped into the front door. I told the guys, Hermione, and Lavender that I would meet them at Honeydukes in a few hours, because I had business to attend to first.

"Love?" Klaus called out, as he appeared in the kitchen doorway. The look on his face was utter relief. "I was hoping you'd come home. I'm so glad you're here." He said, walking slowly toward me.

"I'm sorry. I know I've been a little…witch, these past few weeks, but I…" Didn't get to finish. Klaus flashed toward me, and begin kissing me passionately.

"It's ok Love." He whispered. "I'm sorry. I feel it's all my fault." He said kissing me on my neck.

"No it's my fault too." I said, nipping at his own. "I shouldn't have lost my temper with all of you."

"Shhh." He said softly, and before I knew it we were upstairs, and in my bedroom.

An hour later we laid there wrapped around each other. Klaus was drinking from my neck and, and I was breathing very heavily.

"I love you." I whispered, as I cradled his head against my neck.

He raised his head up, and I stared into his Hybrid eyes. I didn't care that my blood was dripping from his mouth. I kissed him again.

"I love you too Love." He whispered. "I don't want to let you leave today." He groaned, threading his fingers through mine. "I just want you here all the time."

I smiled at him. "There will be other days, and Christmas break isn't that far away." I said, guiding his head back toward my neck. He drank for a few more minutes.

"If I drink anymore you will faint, so I better stop." He whispered. "If you faint, Stefan really will kill me." He chuckled.

"I hope they didn't hear us." I said blushing. "Because Damon will never let me hear the end of it."

"They probably did." He whispered with a grin.

I groaned. "Oh crap."

We got dressed and went back downstairs. I had to place a scarf around my neck, but oh well, I didn't care. The minute we stepped into the living room told me that, yep they had heard.

"Well at least someone doesn't have her panties in a twist anymore." Damon said grinning wickedly.

I picked up a nearby book and threw it at him, but I grinned. "Hush. You have no room to talk."

"This is true." He said giving me a hug. "I'm glad your home Princess. Nice scarf by the way." He teased, and I punched him in the hip.

"I'm glad your home, and talking to us again." Stefan said kissing me on the cheek. "I've been worried."

"Well other than last night, I've been fine. I invited the guys, and Lavender here for lunch later, so I hope that's ok." Then I caught the glint in Damon's eye, and said quickly. "Not lunch for you. For them." I grinned. "Hermione is coming too."

Elijah smiled. "I'm glad to hear that. Is she in Hogsmeade right now?"

"Yeah she's either in Zonko's or Honeydukes. I never thanked you last night." I said giving him a hug. "I want you to know that I am grateful."

Elijah kissed my cheek. "I'm just glad I got there before anything happened to you."

That's when the guys told me what Damon had done to Pansy the night before, and I laughed my butt off. I told them I had woke up to her screaming, but I had went back to sleep. We hung around and talked a few more minutes and headed outside. I saw the guys, Hermione, and Lavender coming out of Zonko's and heading toward Honeydukes, so we sped up and walked in with them.

"Those are quite delicious." I overheard Elijah say to Hermione, when she looked at the blood flavored lollipops. I hid behind the wall, separating the 'Unusual Tastes' section from the rest of the store, and grabbed Klaus's hand and pulled him beside me.

"I thought about getting you one. I've never had one myself, but I imagine to a vampire they might be good." I heard her say.

"You should try one." He said.

"No I don't think I will. I dislike the taste of blood." She laughed.

"It's quite tasty." He teased.

She giggled. "Well I'll buy one for you, and you can describe it to me." Was Hermione flirting!

Elijah laughed. "And I shall buy you your favorite sweet."

"Well one of my favorites is the Toothflossing Stringmints. My parents are dentists, you see. I imagine you've never needed a dentist, so...shall I describe the Stringmints to you?" She IS flirting!

I giggled, and turned to Klaus. "Do you hear them?" I whispered.

He nodded and grinned.

"I'd love that Miss Granger."

"Please, call me Hermione."

"Well then Hermione, would you agree for us to eat our sweets at dinner on Monday?"

"Yes. That sounds lovely."

We watched them find the Stringmints and pay for them, and they waited outside the crowded shop for all of us to finish. Klaus grabbed some blood pops too, and we walked up to the counter.

"Hi Mrs. Flume! You guys are busy today." I said, laying my sugar quills down on the counter next to Klaus's blood pops.

"Lynn! How wonderful to see you dear. And yes, we are always hopping on visiting days, but we wouldn't have it any other way!" She exclaimed happily.

"Well now!" Mr. Flume exclaimed, as Damon and Stefan added their own blood pops to the pile. "Before you lads moved here I had a hard time selling the blood pops. I'm glad we finally have some vampires among us that will by them! I can barely keep them in stock now!" He laughed.

"We love them Mr. Flume." Stefan laughed. "I hope you never run out. They're very good."

"Well, I'll take your word for it Stefan!" He laughed merrily.

We paid for them, and headed outside.

"You guys didn't tell me they know about you." I said.

Stefan laughed. "Yeah the whole village does. Turns out it's not so bad after all. The other vampires in town aren't going to say anything about our daylight rings. They don't even want ones of their own. They say they have lived in the dark for so long that they prefer it."

"Well that's good. I'm glad everything has worked out with us living here."

"It has Love, and I'm really happy that you love it here." Klaus said kissing me.

We headed home to have lunch, and the rest of the day was spent with the guys, and the boys playing American football. It took almost an hour for the boys to explain to the guys that it was a muggle sport, and how to play it. Harry though, helped as much as he could because he knew what it was. It was funny, because Stefan spent half the time arguing with Harry about the name of the game, and Damon spent half the time laughing at them. Hermione, Lavender, and I just sat on the back porch and watched. Lavender kept giggling, because the boys had taken off their shirts, and even Elijah had loosed up a little, and taken off his. He ended up putting on tennis shoes though, because he slipped and fell in his dress shoes. I don't know who blushed more at that scene, Elijah or Hermione, but it was funny anyway. At the end of the day we had to leave to get back to the castle. I gathered up all the muggle clothes I could, packed them in a bag, and Klaus carried it all the way to the gate. He is such a gentleman.

"Do you still have any of that healing paste?" He whispered.

"Yeah I do. It's in my dorm."

"Use it on your neck, and it should heal in a few days." He said, handing me my bag. He pushed aside my scarf, and kissed my neck. "I love you." He said smiling, and looking into my eyes.

"I love you too." I said, and we kissed goodbye.

We all said goodbye to the boys, and Draco thanked them for having them over for lunch, and we headed toward the castle. It had been a REALLY good day!
