Thirty-Five

Hi, so there is a warning because there is some lemons/smut (not fluff). I don't usually write stuff like that but I did for this purpose story. So fair warning. (though it's mostly in the beginning)


Other than that I hope you enjoy this chapter. 


~~~~~~~~~


I was sitting beside Draco, who had fell back unconscious while Madame Pomfrey was checking on him every now and then.  


"You're still here." I look up and saw his eyes slightly open.


"Of course." I moved my chair closer and ran my hand through his hair burshing into place. "I needed to make sure you were okay."


"When you left I thought I wasn't going to see you again. Not with your brother breathing down your neck."


"Harry and I aren't exactly on good terms right now." He shut his eyes as my hand was still brushing through his hair. "Not after what he did to you." he reopened and look at me. "Besides I was completely soak and had to change."


He look at me, something in his eyes look distance like he was thinking about something--recalling something.


"I don't deserve you." he told me.


"Draco..."


"I deserved it." he look up at the ceiling. "What Potter did to me, I deserve it."


"Because you have the dark mark?"


He didn't answer, just sighed and shut his eyes. "You know. How long?"


"I had suspicion but wasn't sure until today." I link our hands together, but he didn't respond.


"Then you know that you shouldn't be around me."


"Because you hex Kaite? Because you gave Slughorn that poison? Because of your mark?" I got up from my seat and sat on the bed. "I'm not leaving your side, Draco."


"I'm dangerous." He sat up and look at me.


"If you were, why haven't you hurt me yet?" I ask as our eyes lock. "We both know how much Voldemort wants me dead to torture Harry. But he wants Harry more, he can't live while Harry's alive. I've been by your side for most of the year, why would you want my company if you're dangerous as you claim to be?"


He didn't answer me. I grabbed his wand from my sweater and placed it in his hand, closing his hand around the hilt I raised it pointing it at me. He stiffened a bit as his grip harden.


"If you're dangerous as you claim to be then show me." I whispered. "Show me that Harry's right and you're the monster that you say you are, the servant of his army. His follower, and loyal supporter."


I released his hand and left him pointing his wand at me. Our eyes were lock this entire time, he clench his jaw and then suddenly it happened.


He toss wand aside and pulled me in, crashing his lips onto mine. I shut my eyes and kiss him back meeting the same passion he was giving me. His tongue lick my bottom lip, asking for permisson to enter. I gladly gave it to him as our tongue brush each other. One of his hands went to a small part of my back while the other went to mid thigh pulling me towards him. I followed as he lead me to swing my leg over and sat on his lap with my legs on either side of him. He slowly pulled back from the kiss only to begin kissing my jaw.


"Draco..." I whispered out feeling his hot breath against my skin. 


"Someone can hear."


I buried my face into his shoulder while he moved down and started to begin kissing my neck and collarbone. He flip us around so that I was underneath him. My hair was spread out against the bed as Draco was now over me. He reconnected our lips as I moved my hands to the hem of his shirt. Things started to heat up between us, and it seem it wasn't going to stop. We both started removed clothing from each other. Draco was kissing my stomach and chest when he took off my top, as my hands went to the bottom of his shirt before pulling that off. Of course it startled me when I saw the scar marks across his chest. I fingers were tracing, brushing against them feeling them, and his muscle. But that didn't stop us. Soon I was left in my underwear and bra, as he was in his boxers. We slowed things down a bit and so did our kisses. He hovered over me and look down.


"We shouldn't."


Our eyes were meeting each other.


"If that's what you want." i whispered to him.


He sighed and place a small kiss on my lips. "I want you, but... you should save it for someone else. Someone who will love you just as much as I--"


"Draco, we've been over this."


"No we haven't." he sat me back up, but my legs were still wrap around his waist. The curtains were drawn closed around us. It was already pass dinner and I didn't want to go to the common room just yet, there was still a chance Harry was there waiting for me.


"We both know." he leaned our foreheads together as he wrap his button up shirt around my shoulders. "This isn't going to end well, he'll want to kill you. And no matter what, he's not going to show you any mercy." he let out a sigh. 


I slid my arms through the sleeves and then wrap them around his neck. "We're going to defeat him, Draco. I believe that."


"Then what? We're not going to be forgiven, we both know what the ministry will do to death eaters." he let out a sigh. "It's impossible to defeat him, a war is coming princess."


"Then fight against him." I look into his eyes and saw that he was torn. "I'm here, we can talk to Dumbledore, Snape, anyone, the order. But I'm not losing you."


"And I can't lose you either. That's why, I'm letting you go." He whispered. "You need someone who can stay by your side, who's good, who'll love you like I've loved you, who isn't corrupt, not filled with darkness."


"No, you're not evil." I pulled myself closer. "You're not filled with darkness, and there is not going to be anyone else in this world that I would love more than you. It's always going to be you, Draco."


"Would you leave your brother to run away with me?" he asked. "Not stopping, having to check over our shoulders, leaving everyone, sleepless nights, wondering if we might be drag back here to our deaths."


"Yes." I answered without thinking, our lips were centimeters apart. "I would." And I meant it.


His arms wrap around me as he crash his lips back onto mine. Carefully he laid me back down and removed everything else. He look at me one more, giving me a chance to change my mind. But I wasn't. I wanted this. I wanted him.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The sun shined through the windows and burning my eyes, not really buring but it was really bright. I slowly opened my eyes and look at the ceiling. The first thing I notice was that I wasn't in my dorm room. Second, there was an arm (which felt very comfortable) wrap around me. I look down and saw the family ring on his hand and that's when the memories from last night came back.


As I was remembering blood was rushing to my face. Luckily we were both dress, after everything we changed back, well Draco went to sleep without his shirt because I was wearing his.


But... yes, we did it. It wasn't what a lot of girls wanted, very hot, steamy, very over the top wanting to eat the other person kind of thing. It was just simple, passionate, and... prefect. And there was nothing that I would change for the world, except maybe not in a hospital wing but really it was prefect.


"Morning Princess." I heard him say softly. I turned around to lay on my other side so I would look at him.


I pulled myself closer, placing my head on his chest, and wrapping a leg around his waist. "Morning."


"Did you regret it?" he said speaking into my hair.


"No. Did you?"


He let out a small playful scoff. "Not one bit."


"Is it bad I don't want to leave?"


"No. And I don't want you too. This is the best sleep I've had in a long while."


I smiled and leaned up to kiss his neck. "Glad to be of assistance."


He look down and brush my hair with his hand. His eyes trailed down to my shoulder and push the shirt off to one side off revealing the scar that Bellatrix made. His fingers traced it, the feeling felt really good.


"How long have you known about me?"


"I don't know, I guess I knew Voldemort wasn't going to be please about what happened in the department of mysteries last year. After... after you made me hate you, I thought you were cruel like everyone said. I tried to hate you, see you for the monster everyone claimed you are. But I couldn't, I didn't have the heart and it hurt." our eyes lock onto each other. "I heard about the trials for your father, and you kept giving me a cold shoulder ever since we got back." I lifted my hand and brushed my thumb against his cheeks. "But something was telling that something was wrong. But I couldn't face you because I wasn't sure if what you meant was true. So I didn't do anything, just buried myself in work."


His hand came over mine and held it there.


"I've done the same princess. There were times, I wanted you back. But I thought about everything, the position my family was in and I couldn't risk that for you."


"I'm not leaving you." i whispered. "Not ever. No matter how far in the dark you think you are, I'll be here waiting for you to come back."


"Darling..." he spoke softly looking into my eyes. "if this ends.... The way the dark lord wants it. I don't know if I..." he look down and places our hands over his chest. He took my right hand and place it over his heart. "I can't imagine what or where would I be without you. You are everything to me, and I don't deserve it one bit." he let go of my hand as he went to remove something from his right hand. I watch as he slip his family ring onto my left hand on the fourth finger.


"Draco...."


"I assume you guess that I was sent to do something for him." He lifted my head so I would meet his eyes. I knew but I didnt... I didnt want to believe it. "I have to carry out what I've been sent to do or he'll kill me. I have to become someone else to do these things, so he can free my father, clear our family name.... I want you to have this." he raises my hand that was holding the ring. "To know I'll always love you, Davina Potter."


There were tears threatening to fall from my eyes.


"One day... when this is over. I'll make you mine, forever. Till death do us part." he lean over and kiss me. "There's something else..."


"What?"


"I know."


I look at him confused. "Know what?"


There was clamoring going on. We both changed and were back into our regular clothes. I had my shoes on as someone came over and froze at the sight of me.


"What is she doing here?" Pansy ask.


I look at Draco who was now sitting up and glaring at her.


"I was just leaving." I stood up and caught both their attention. "I'll see you later Draco." I said to him then walking out.


I saw Balise, Goyle, Crabbe and a few other slytherins, coming to check on him. I made it out, keeping my head low as i made my way to the great hall. 


~~~~~~~~~


"So...?" Alice said smiling proudly.


"So?" I asked reading my book.


"Are you going to tell me what happened? Or am I'm going to guess what happened by the blush on your face?"


I placed my hand down, looking around making sure no one heard.


"Hush Alice."


"Wait is that-?" She grabbed my left hand and look at it. "Merlin's beard. That's his family ring" she whispered excitedly. "Okay you have to tell me--"


"Nothing to get work up for Alice." I told her taking off my necklace that he gave me and the ring and place the ring in the chain then back around my neck and tuck it away underneath my shirt.


"Wait did he propose?" she said genuinely.


"Alice." i warned not really wanting to talk about it in the open.


"I knew it." she said proudly. "I want to be a bridesmaid, more specifically maid of honor."


"No Alice he didn't purpose. he just gave it to me. Besides we're still in school, not to mention we still have Voldemort to think about."


"Which reminds me..." Alice glance over to the other side of the table in the Great hall. "Simon has been pestering me about what you have been up to, not to mention Hermione been saying that Harry wanted to talk to you. Ginny's worried and--"


"Not now Alice." I said looking back down.


"Well then you'd better think fast, Harry's coming."


I look at her and then over to see that she was right. Harry was walking over with everyone else tailing behind him, and well Ginny holding his hand.


"Looks like they finally got together." I mumbled going back to read my book for Charms.


"About time too." Alice said continuing her essay.


"Davina." Ginny spoke as they reach me and Alice.


"Ginny." I said not looking up or moving.


"Go on." Hermione whispered to Harry.


"Davina can we please talk?" Harry asked.


"We are talking." I said flipping the page and still not moving or looking up.


"Privately."


I look at Alice who was looking at me. she gave me a pleading look so for her sakes and because I miss him. I'll do it.


I grabbed my things and stood up. "You have a minute, I have to go see Professor McGonagall, then head to History of Magic."


I walk past them and headed out the door. I headed up the stairs and heard someone to catch up.


"Davina, listen to me." Harry started. "I didn't mean to let what happened with Malfoy happen.... I wasn't--okay yes, I did know what the spell is for. But it happened so fast I didn't realize I said it until i did. I didn't even know what the spell could do until I saw it. I never meant to harm him that way. But-- But that doesn't explain why him out of all people? Why him?"


"You know he isn't entirely all bad." I told him quietly. "Yes, he has his moments. Yes, he's drove us all insane and crazy and has done nothing but humiliate us. But really haven't we all have done bad things? And quite frankly it just happened," we stop in an empty hallway where no one was around. "I don't know how but it did. At first I hated him as much as you did then next thing I know I was feelings things I know I shouldn't have and I've tried to push them away but they came back and I did. And well, you know the rest."


"Still doesn't explain why him? There plenty of other people--"


"Tell me one thing." I said stopping to face him. "One actual reason why I shouldn't be with him. One reason that'll make me rethink everything."


"He's one of them. His entire family is in lineage with Voldemort."


I look at him. "He may be one of them, but doesn't mean he choose to do it. Have you ever wondered maybe he was forced to? Or are you too stubborn and prideful to let anyone change from the thing you so want them to me. People do change, it may be a long shot but they can if they want to. And Draco is so much more than what everyone seen his as. Such he's can be a intolerable person, but you have to willing to look past through that to see who he is inside. I have. and he doesn't deserve any of this."


He look at me as I turned on my heels and left him alone.


~~~~~~~~~~


Classes were unusually long and I didn't know what to do. Other than avoid everyone entirely. I was walking towards the hospital wing seeing it was getting late and dinner was over. Hermione and Ron told me Harry and Dumbledore went somewhere.


I walk in and there was no one else there but Draco. I walk over, still in uniform, and saw he was picking at his food.


"You should eat." his head snap up and look at me. "You need to get better, and that can only happen if you eat."


He smiled at me as I sat down in front of him on the bed. He obliged and began eating. Madame Pomfrey was glad that he ate and smiled at me before leaving with Draco's plate.


I felt his hand link with mine as he made me look at him.


"What's what's wrong?" I ask him.


"Promise me, when its time for me to return to the dark lord. You won't get caught. You won't do anything--"


"I can't promise that." I moved forward and place my hands in his. "You know that, he'll want to come after me and Harry. Anyone who gets in the way is just collateral damage in his eyes." I look at him. "If worst comes to worst I won't risk your life or anyone else's."


He pulled me closer and leaned his forehead against mine.


There was a loud crackling of thunder. I pulled away and saw the sky growing dark.


"Earlier, you said you know." he look down at our hands. "What did you know."


"Doesn't matter."


"Draco...."


There was another loud crack of thunder. 


"Do you trust me Princess?" 


"Yes. Always."


He pulled me in and kissed me. I immediately kiss him back pulling my hands away and running them through his hair. I felt his tongue softly brushing against my lower lip, making me moan a bit as I let him in. His hands went on my waist and pulled me so I was sitting on his laps.


We pulled apart as he look at me.


"I love you," he brought one hand up and brush my hair back.


I would've thought he was saying it casually, but there was something else in his eyes that made me begin to worry.


"I love you too. What's going on?" I ask him.


He pressed his lips onto mine then kiss my forehead.


"This should explain everything." I watch as he reach for a seal letter and handed it to me. I took it and look back at him.


"Draco?"


"It's time." I didn't notice that he was holding his wand with his other hand. "I love you my princess, and because I love you I have to keep you somewhere safe so you won't see the monster they made me."


Before I could say anything he lifted his wand and I fell into a deep sleep.


~~~~~~~~~~~~


Draco


I laid her down on the bed as I changed back into my suit. Once that was done I went check around to see if anyone else is here in the hospital wing. I saw madame pomfrey on her desk writing. I cast a spell and she fell asleep.


I went back and carried Davina, one arm under her knees and the other under her arms. I lifted her up, after tucking the letter away in my jacket, and carried her out the door. I moved on my way to the room of requirement, but stop at a small hallway and went under a tapestry letting my wand touch the wall and watch as it opened. I walk in and place her down on a blanket that was there.


Once she was on the ground I pulled out the letter and place it beside her. I found her wand inside her jacket and move instead in her hands just in case.


After that I felt more frighten but happy that at least she was safe.


"I love you Davina, I'll always love you."


I got up and turned around heading out. Then shut the door and left to the room of requirements and then to finish my task.


~~~~~~~~~~~


Third POV


"Draco you are no assassin." Dumbledore said while Harry was listening below.


"How do you know what I am? I've done things that would shock you."


"Like cursing Katie hoping in return she bring me a curse necklace? Replacing one bottle at mead with one laced with posion?"


Harry anger was fuming inside but he remained calm.


"Forgive me Draco, but this actions seem so weak that your heart couldn't have been in them."


"He trust me. I was chosen." Draco said lifting his sleeve and showing Dumbledore his mark.


"But what of the trust of the one you love the most? Davina?"


"Don't you dare bring her into this." Draco took three steps forward. Wand aimed. "She has no part in anything I did."


"I see. Well then I'll make this easier for you--"


"Expellimus."


Draco disarmed Dumbledore as Harry raised his wand.


"Good Draco, very good."


There was the sound of the door opening and all three heads turned.


"You're not alone there are others. How?"


"The vanishing cabinet in the room of requirement. I've been mending it."


"Let me guess it has sister, a twin."


"Bourgin and Burkes, they form a passage."


"Ingenious. But Draco... years ago I know a boy who made all the wrong choices. Please let me help you."


"I dont want your help." Draco fought back. "Dont you understand? I have to do this. I have to kill you. or he's going to kill..."


The death eater arrived and Belatrix smiled how her nephew had Dumbledore unarmed. 


"Well done Draco. Now, kill him."


"He doesn't have the guts."


 Harry had pulled out his wand ready to attack but then he saw Snape who told him to be silent and then went up to join the other. And in the end it was Snape who kill Dumbledore. The death eaters rejoiced as the wards protecting the school came down and they summoned the dark mark over the school.


The death eaters began to raid the school. Students went running into their houses. Soon they headed out the school, Draco heart kept  thinking about Davina. They were soon outside as Bellatrix set Hagrid house but on fire and laugh hysterically.


"Snape!" Harry screamed catching everyone attention. "He trusted you!"


"Go on." Snape said looking at Draco breifly.


They all began to leave, all except Bellatrix who look at Harry rushing down.


"Expelliarmus." Harry said as Snape easily block it. This made Harry really frustrated. "Fight back! You coward fight back!" Snape froze.


Bellatrix stun him as Harry flew back and hit the ground.


"No!" Snape hissed at Bellatrix. "He belongs to the Dark lord."


Bellatrix scoffed and turned around with a skip still in her steps. Snape look at Harry then turned away to follow the others.


"Scetumspra." Harry said breasthless.


Snape block and shot another stun at him. Harry fell back and was laying on the ground as Snape took a few steps closer to him.


"You dare use my own spells against me?" Harry's face went shock. "Yes, I'm the Half-blood prince."


~~~~~~~~~~


Davina


I woke up gasping and look around seeing I was alone in some room. I look at the ground and saw my hand holding my wand and a letter beside me. There was also a blanket covering me, that now fell off and onto my lap.


The door opened and I held my wand seeing Hermione and Ron.


"Davina!" Hermione rush over and stood in front of me as I got up. "Are you okay?"


"What happened?"


"Death eaters." Ron said.


"Where?" I said putting the letter into my pocket and holding my wand. "Where's Harry?"


"Davina..." Hermione look at me with a sad look. "Dumbledore's dead. Harry went running out after--"


I ran past them and out the doors hearing something catch on fire. Hagrid's hut. I ran and saw the death eaters going into the dark forest. Harry was on the ground as Snape block his spells. I ran down and Snape look at me then he was gone.


"Harry!"


Harry turned around and look at me. "Davina."


I got on my knees and help him up. "What happened?"


"Snape." he said now crying. "He killed DUmbledore."


I look back and they were all gone, the sky crack thunder and I saw the death mark in the sky. "Draco."


I got up and was about to run into the forest but Harry caught me pulling me back.


"Davina, no!"


"Let me go!"


"He's gone." he said holding me against him. "He's gone Davina."


"No." I felt my knees give out but Harry held me. "No."


This wasn't happening.


"I'm sorry Davina."


I leaned into my brother as he stood up both up.


"Come on."  


Harry lead the way and we saw the entire school surrounding Dumbledore's now dead body. I stood by Hermione and Alice as Harry walk over to dumbledore and then began to cry. Ginny went over to him as I took Alice in my arms since while she cried.


Professor McGongall rasied her wand and we all followed her as we sent streams of light into the sky and death mark vanished.
