'Do you really think that no one is going to punish you for what you did to that guy?' Hermione asked after you left the three broomsticks.

'Relax Hermione, it was just a punch. You punched me as well.' He sighed.

Hermione let out a small grin.

'That's a long time ago.' She smiled.

'I know it is... but it happened.' 

They got into a conversation and you were hesitating. Should you talk to Ron? You started slowly walking besides him.

'I just wanted to apologize...' you spoke.

Ron looked up.

'For what?'

'Joining them... even though I didn't have a choice. I don't want things to be like this.'

'Like what?'

'You angry at us... people making fun of me every second of the day. I hope you'll see that I feel really sorry that Fred died. He was an amazing person. If I could have saved him, I would have done that.'

Ron sighed and looked at the ground.

'It just... it's difficult. Having no one to blame for the death of my brother. Since I know the two of you and I know that you two are death eater... I think I just put the blame on you guys. I'm sorry if I made you feel bad. Hermione made me think today.' He sighed. 

'The two of you are cute together.'

Ron grinned and looked at his girlfriend who was talking to Draco in front of you.

'She's great... I'm so happy that everything turned out okay with us. I'm going to talk to her for a moment.' He smiled.

'I'll talk to Draco.'

You quietly walked towards Draco. When you were near him you placed your hands on his shoulder and jumped up, wrapping your legs around his waist. Draco let out a small yell in shock. You kept kissing his cheek while Draco laughed and grabbed your legs. You wrapped your arms around his neck.

'What are you doing?' He laughed. 

'I was tired of walking so now you can carry me on my back.' You grinned.

'You're not that heavy, so I don't mind.' He smiled.

'That's good because it's comfortable.' You mumbled while placing your head on his shoulder.

'I love you.' He whispered to you.

Your cheeks shot red and you gave him a small kiss in his neck.

-

You finally arrived at the common room and Draco put you down on the stone floor. He turned around and smiled. You immediatly hugged him. He laughed.

'You just can't let me go, can you?' He asked.

You shook your head and listened to his heart beat. Draco kissed the top of your head and looked up into his silver eyes. He leaned down and kissed you. He stroke some hair out of your face.

'It was really cool what you did back at Hogsmeade. You didn't have to... but still.'

'I did have to. He was flirting with you! He was such an idiot. He underestimated my power.'

You grinned and shook your head.

'Well... we learned something today. Never underestimate Draco Lucius Malfoy.' You smiled.

Draco laughed.

'So what happens if you underestimated Y/N Y/L?' He asked.

You shrugged.

'No one ever does.' You grinned.

'Hi guys!'

You let Draco go and turned around. You saw Laurie and smiled.

'Hi! How's life?' You asked.

'Good, I was just coming from Hogsmeade. And you guys?'

'The forest and Hogsmeade... we didn't see you there.' Draco answered.

'I was looking in the shops. Where have you two been?'

'The three broomsticks.' You replied.

'With Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny... it was nice.' Draco added.

'It was... and Draco hit a guy in the stomach.' You grinned.

Laurie looked at him.

'Why?'

'Some boy flirted with her.' He sighed.

'So you punched him?!' She asked.

Draco nodded proudly. You grinned.

'Calm down Laurie, it was funny.' You spoke. 

'Hurting someone is funny?' She asked. 

'You should have been there... it was hilarious.' Draco smiled.

Laurie sighed and Andrew walked in.

'Hello!' He smiled. 

'Andrew, Draco hit someone.' Laurie sighed.

Andrew laughed.

'High five.' He lifted up his hand and Draco gave him a high five.

Laurie sighed and shook her head.

'Why did he hit him?' Andrew asked.

'He was flirting with me.' You quickly explained.

'Then I think he had the right to hit him.'

'Andrew! Don't encourage it!'

'You sound like my mother.' Andrew sighed.

You laughed and Draco joined in. Laurie sighed.

'You should encourage violence. It brought many problems already.'

'Some people deserve to be hit. If someone would flirt with you George would have hit him.'

'George isn't violent.'

'Come on Laurie, it's just one punch. It's not as if I hit someone everyday.'

'Can't we just stop this?' You asked.

'Yeah, this is useless.' Andrew sighed.

Laurie sighed. You tangled your fingers with Dracos and he kissed the top of your hand.

'What shall we do?' Laurie asked. 'The day has just started.'

'I don't know. I'm tired.' You sighed.

'We could sit down at the lake.' Andrew suggested.

You nodded and you all walked towards the lake. You sat down underneath the tree. You sat down against Draco and laid your head on his shoulder. He wrapped and arm around you.  He stroke your back and your eyes started to feel heavy. He kissed the top of your head.

'Are you that tired?' Andrew asked.

You just nodded and sighed.

'We were up early... went for a morning walk in the forest.' Draco explained.

 'If you know you can't take getting up early, the why did you get up?'

'I wanted to spent some time with Dray.' You mumbled as your eyes slowly closed.

Draco played a bit with your hair and you slowly drifted away in a sleep. Draco slowly felt you relax and your breathing became almost unhearable.

'Asleep.' Draco smiled while looking at you.

'Maybe she needs it.' Andrew said.

'I thinks she does. She hasn't been sleeping much lately.' Laurie sighed. 'She worries at night.'

'Most people do.' Andrew sighed.

'Yeah, but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and then she's still awake.'

'She knows she can talk to me... but she doesn't. I'd love to take her worries away.'

'Sometimes you can't.' Laurie spoke.

'I know... but I wish I could.'

He looked at you and sighed with a slight smile. He loved you so much. You were one of the most important people in his life. He might even love you more then he loved his parents. All he wanted was to make you happy but he knew he couldn't help you enough.

'Don't worry to much Draco. She can take good care of herself. We've worried enough about her.' Andrew spoke.

'I can't help it.' He sighed.

'I know you can't, but you should try.'

Draco nodded.

'I'm going to lay her down in bed. Might be more comfortable for her.'

Draco slowly moved trying to not wake you up.  You were in a deep sleep and Draco picked you up and held you in his arms.

'Wait here.' He said.

'Sure.' Andrew smiled.

Draco started walking towards the dungeons. The corridors were rather empty. All students were outside or studying in the library. Draco walked into the dungeons and took you to the girls dorm. He took you towards your room and laid you down on the bed. He covered you with the sheets and he kissed the top of your head gently. He stroke some hair away from your face and looked at you with a smile.

He closed the curtains and turned off the lights, then he left the room and he quietly closed the door. He sighed and walked back to the lake. He sat down against the tree again.

'Still asleep?' Laurie asked.

'Yes.'

'She deserves it. She has been working and studying like crazy. We could have expected her to get exhausted.' Andrew sighed. 

'Yeah, but it's all working out of her. She just needs to hold on. Then she can take a break at my house.'

'She's joining? That's so sweet of you.' Laurie smiled.

'Of course she's joining. She's my girlfriend and I'm not going to leave her here. Not during Christmas. She needs some sort of family. My mother would love to see her again.'

'Then it turns out good for all of you.'

Draco nodded and stared at the lake.

'What would you do if that guys shows up here?' Laurie suddenly asked.

Draco looked at her and sighed.

'Don't worry! He's two years older then I am, he isn't coming to Hogwarts. It was just one punch! Can't you let it go?' He asked.

'I was just asking since he wouldn't be happy with the fact that you hit him. What if you ever go back and he sees you and starts acting like an idiot to you?' She asked.

Draco rolled his eyes.

'Stop, it's fine. He's fine. I didn't kill him. Just let it go.'
