He lifted his hand to my cheeks and softly wiped the tears that had just been pouring down my face.
"Baby," he whispered. "Don't cry. We'll see eachother soon, I promise." I heard his words, understood them, believed them. But I just couldn't bring myself to stop crying.
"I can't live without you!" I burst out, not being able to contain it anymore.
He wrapped his arms around me and spoke slowly. "Ophelia, I love you so much. I'll never let you go, don't ever forget. I'm always with you, I know it'll seem like forever, but time will pass so quickly, baby. We'll see eachother so soon, you won't even have time to miss me, I promise. Please don't cry anymore." He delicately kissed my tear-stained cheeks and cradled me.
"I don't want to leave you, I want to stay here with you forever." I sobbed.
"I know, I want it too, more than anything. If I could keep you by my side forever, don't you think I would've done that already?"
The lumps in my throat from all my crying were choking me, all I could manage was a short nod and two words.
"It hurts."
"What does?" he sounded genuinely curious.
"Here." I pointed my finger to my heart. "Right here."
"I know how much it hurts, it's so painful, I know. But why, Ophelia? Why are you so afraid?"
I shook my head, not wanting to say.
"Tell me," he sounded so calm and soothing, "please." I couldn't help spilling it out then.
"I don't want to lose you. I don't want you to stop loving me, I don't want you to find someone else. I want it to be me and you forever, what if something goes wrong, Draco? What if I lose you?" more tears started erupting from my eyes, gushing down my face.
He cupped my soaking face gently and started into my eyes once more.
"Ophelia Rosalie Diggory. I could never and will never stop loving you. You're my life, baby, you know you are. Don't be so scared, I swear for as long as I live, you'll be the only one I love. You're the only person whose hands I'll ever need to hold." at that moment he slid his fingers into mine, clasping them tightly.
Time passed so quickly - after about a minute, the final message was called out telling all students to get off the train.
We slowly walked onto the platform, dreading the goodbye, but still holding hands.
The atmosphere was suddenly silent - I stumbled over something to say. "Tell everyone I said hi when you get back home." I blurted out, feeling so foolish as I didn't at all know his family - or anyone remotely associated with him, apart from his stupid little friends. My cheeks heated up violently.
At first he looked a little stunned, but after a few seconds a smile slowly crept upon his face. "Okay." he said. "I will."
He turned around, took a few steps, then turned back around and walked over to me again.
"Hi." he said chirpily.
I tilted my head to one side and made a slight puzzled noise, which is my way of showing I'm confused.
"Home is where the heart is, right?" he whispered, knowing my reaction.
He slowly stepped towards me and hugged me tight.
"I'm home."
