Over the course of the summer, Draco was all she thought about and the only person that she really spent time with. His blonde hair, his grey eyes, and just his all around sexiness were quite appealing to her. Her friends didn't think the idea of them dating was so great. Draco Malfoy was a self-centered bully who always picked on the weaker man. He walked around with a convoy of bodyguards to protect him if he picked on someone stronger than him. Charlotte rolled her eyes and sighed as her friends tried to convince her that he was all bad news. Her friends didn't know just yet, but they were already secretly together. Ever since the kiss they were writing to each other every day and secretly meeting at his house when his parents were gone.

"He is a jerk! He is the reason why every one hates Slytherin! And he is fifteen! You are seventeen! It is kind of like creepy," one of her friends groaned as she started to ignore her friends. Charlotte was more paying attention to getting her books and cauldrons for her last year at Hogwarts. Charlotte was looking for some normalcy after the death of Cedric Diggory and witnessing the death of the innocent muggle.

Her hair was tied in a loose and messy bun. She didn't bother wearing anything special just a pair of shorts and a shirt. She walked inside the bookstore and sighed in relief. Peace and quiet would surely rear its head and find her here. The red head immediately noticed that the crowds had separated them from her. She walked around looking for the books for her classes. She was going to take the classes she needed to qualify to become an auror. She lied to her parents telling them that she was jut going to join to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic.

Charlotte was too embarrassed to tell her parents the truth. She didn't want to kill innocent people. She was a good person even if she was chosen to go to Slytherin. She continued to walk around the bookstore wondering where everything could be. The bookstore was too big and she didn't want to walk around all day to look for a couple of books. Books upon books seemed to stack themselves and she felt her eyes starting to spin.

"Charlotte, a rather pleasant surprise, I get to see you before tonight," a voice spoke behind her. Charlotte turned around and smiled seeing Draco standing behind her. They had planned on meeting up later at her house, but here he stood in front of her. A surprise or a happy coincidence? He wore a tight black shirt to show off his muscles from Quidditch and black jeans. Her friends suddenly walked in the bookstore and stopped watching the two of them interact. Their friend was already falling for the stupid Malfoy spell.

"Charmed as always," she amused him. Her green eyes stared into his grey eyes. He smirked at her and leaned in kissing her softly. Her heart fluttered as she coughed softly. Draco raised his eyebrows and had a sexy smirk on his face. Her friends rolled their eyes and shook their heads no. The seventh year with a lot of promise was under the Malfoy spell.

"Crabbe and Goyle, go on without me boys. I think I will be accompanying Miss Walker, if she agrees," he reached out to grab her hand. Her friends continued to shake their heads no as Charlotte continued to blush. Why did he have to be so alluring? Something about him made her change her views about things. Her fingers suddenly intertwined with his. He smiled and touched her cheek softly. Charlotte looked at him once more. She was already won over by him now and forever. No one knew him like she knew him. He had some good inside of him.

"I will see you guys later," Charlotte smiled warmly at her friends. Their mouths dropped as they slowly walked out of the bookshop whispering to each other. Draco grabbed her hand and kissed the top of it softly. Her face burned as he grabbed her book list. This was certainly going to be an exciting day. They were going public with their relationship and she didn't mind it at all.

The day ended like she couldn't have ever imagined. The Hogwarts students were shocked to see Draco Malfoy with a seventh year student. Pansy Parkinson even saw them and she wasn't exactly really happy about the whole situation. The day ended perfect when they decided to dine at a restaurant. They stayed until it was closed off to students. She apparated them and now they were at her house in her living room. Her parents were gone leaving the two of them alone.

"This is my living room," she blushed and looked at Draco. He laughed softly and leaned in to kiss her cheek softly. Her house was no where near as amazing as his house. He grabbed her hand and led her upstairs. Malfoy was in enough houses to know where his girl's bedrooms could be located. He smirked and suddenly saw a green and black door. A snake was slithering around the door trying to find a comfortable place to sleep. Charlotte was a proud Slytherin. He opened her door and stopped as soon as he took a step inside. Her room was really . . . magical.

Her ceiling consisted of glass so she was able to see the night sky with the stars shining brightly in the bedroom. Posters of Quidditch players flying around made him smile once more. Charlotte blushed letting him look around the room. Draco walked to a desk and picked up a picture. He immediately recognized her as her green eyes examined him closely and continued to giggle. The boy next to her looked familiar as well. He was surprised to see himself in the picture. They were both young in the picture, possibly ten and eight years old. She had a green dress on and he was in a tuxedo.

"You have had quite the crush on me," he laughed and placed the picture back down. Charlotte blushed and nodded as she walked over to the bed. Charlotte decided to lie down on her back and continued to watch Draco walk through her room. He smiled warmly at her and walked towards the bed. He sat down and stared at her.

"You are different then the other girls. You don't throw yourself on me like they did," he was hunched and looking down at the ground. She wasn't sure if he was disappointed or happy about that fact. She didn't want to be another notch on his bed. She was still trying to make sure that this was not a dream.

"I am not trying to be like them," she laughed and sat up.

"You aren't like the other boys. I mean, you haven't tried to just get me to warm your bed," she giggled and watched him carefully. He laughed some and looked at her.

"You have no idea how hard it has been to keep you away," he laughed and pushed his fingers through his hair. Charlotte tried to look mad, yet couldn't help but laugh. She shook her head and sighed happily. Draco looked up and smiled as a shooting star suddenly shot through the sky.

"We are different, Draco. We aren't like our parents. We don't want to be under his control," Charlotte suddenly stated being completely serious. Draco tensed at the thought and sighed. He seemed to be uncomfortable at the topic. She was right, of course. He never wanted to kill people. He may have hurt people, but he didn't want to actually kill someone. His father killed his fair share of people and even did actions that were highly illegal.

"Yes, but it is the family business. We have to hurt the innocent or be hurt ourselves," he moved his body so they could see eye to eye. Charlotte nodded in understanding and agreement. She didn't want to tell him that she wanted to risk her life to protect the innocent. They weren't exactly on this type of serious level yet. Two months of dating was nothing really. People were still trying to figure the other out.

"I wish we didn't have to live our lives to someone that hurts the innocent," she sighed and he remained quiet for a while as if in thought. Draco noticed he was the only person to ever see the good in him. He removed his shoes and slowly slid on the bed and crawled towards her and laid down. Draco grabbed her hand and started to play with her fingers.

"What will your parents think if they catch me in here with you?" he asked as he laughed softly. Charlotte giggled and shook her head.

"I am sure they would be happy. Mum and dad already think that they are going to have a spinster for a daughter," she joked back and watched him closely as he continued to rubs his fingers over her right hand. Charlotte sighed happily and looked at Draco in a serious fashion.

"Do you ever think that one day you will do what is right and protect and save the innocent?" she asked and he tensed up once more. He grabbed her hand tightly and tried to keep calm. Would he ever go against everything he grew up to be? Draco could never do that. He didn't want to be killed. He shook his head and looked at her.

"I don't think I would be able to do that. I am afr- I don't want to die," he admitted never admitting that the proud Draco Malfoy would be afraid of anything. Charlotte sighed softly as she looked at him. That was her answer about telling him her plans after Hogwarts. She leaned in and kissed his cheek softly. The fear of death was real to her.

"I am not sure if I could ever stand up to him," she giggled with an obvious lie expression on her face. She wasn't going to fear the man that had been taken down by a baby before. The baby was now the same age as Draco and was being taught beneath one of the best headmasters in school history. Charlotte knew Draco had a strength in him, that once provoked, he would definitely show to whoever was around him.

"Draco, I think you will one day stand up for yourself and what you truly believe in whether to me, your parents, or the Dark Lord," she spoke with meaning and he held her hand tighter once more. He knew she was trying to make him feel better, but he knew he wasn't as strong as he appeared.

"Charlotte, I am not the guy you think that I am. I can't go against everything I was taught to believe in. My parents would disown me and I . . ." he stopped as she suddenly started to kiss him. He closed his eyes and wrapped an arm around her waist. He slowly lifted her up and wrapped his arms tightly around her. He moved her to lay on top of him.

"I know you will stand up for what you feel one day, Draco. I will not be the only person to see the man that is under me," she confided in him and he frowned.

"Charlotte, you don't understand everything about me. What I have done and what I will one day do," he didn't want to sound like he didn't believe her. He was grown up to be against everything she was telling him. He was brought up to hate mudbloods, muggles, half-bloods, and blood traitors. His talk with her was going against those core values.

"Draco, I know one day that you will be able to stand up for your beliefs. You just need something that is worth standing up for. Some one that is worth the risk of being disowned or dying," she stared in those eyes once more and leaned in to kiss his lips. He kissed her back although he was still deep in thought. He didn't know any one that would be worth him standing up for them at the risk of his life. His mother would be a person and perhaps his father. Charlotte was definitely someone.

"Charlotte, one day I will stand up for you. I will risk my life for you," he smiled and imagined the picture of himself with her. They were both smiling and starting to dance together. Charlotte wasn't sure if he was being serious or not. His words touched her deeply though. Draco Malfoy would die for her. She leaned in close and started to kiss his lips once more.

"And I, you, Draco," she muttered against his lips and continued to kiss them softly. Everything around them started to melt around her. The worries, fears, and disappointments in life were slowly removing themselves from her mind. Tonight was about her and Draco. They didn't do anything that night, but they knew they didn't have to.

Everything in the world was at peace.
