You and Draco had been officially dating for a few days now. You loved it. Every moment with him. You two really worked together. Although some things didn't make sense to you.

Draco had to leave a lot. He would just say: I quickly have to do something.. and then he'd be gone for an hour or so and come back. When you asked what he was doing, he would just say it wasn't important and talk about something else.

You wanted to let it go. You didn't want to ruin your relationship already. Pansy, Ron and Harry were already trying to do that. It was highly annoying. Draco told you not to worry about it.

You were holding Draco's hand while heading back to the common room. It was far past curfew but you two didn't care. You were watching out for Snape or Filtch.

You two lost track of time. It escalated a bit but you two just had so much fun together. Draco let your hand go and wrapped his arm around you while pulling you closer. You blushed a little.

'You seem troubled.' He said.

'Do I?' You asked.

You looked at him. Draco nodded.

'You'd tell me when something is wrong, right?' You asked Draco.

'Of course! Why?'

'Because you go away every day. For like an hour and you refuse to tell me what you're doing.. You miss class sometimes. I just hope that you're okay.'

Draco didn't want to tell you he was a death eater. He didn't want to lie to you but he just wanted to protect you now. So lying was the only thing he could do now.

'I am. I sometimes just need some time to gather my thoughts. I am a little over this school. Just need some time to relieve some stress.'

'You could have told me.' You smiled.

'I know. I just don't want you to think I'm.. I don't know.. weak or something.'

You chuckled and kissed his cheek.

'Thank you for trusting me.'

Draco let you go and stopped you for a moment. He pulled you closer and laid his hands in the side of your face to kiss him. Your hands were resting against his chest.

'I hope you two have a valid reason to be here.'

Draco pulled back and looked to the side. You saw Snape. Draco let go of you and stuffed his hands in his pocket.

'I'm sure it's alright professor, isn't it?' Draco sneered.

'You better get back to your dormitories before I have to give you detention.' Snape hissed.

'Of course, professor; right away.'

You grabbed Draco's wrist and pulled him with you. You hurried towards the common room.

'Y/N, calm down.' Draco chuckled while stopped you.

'We could have been in serious trouble.'

'Snape kinda likes me. So it's fine.'

'It could have been Filtch.'

You sighed while you continued walking. In the distance, you heard someone again. You listened.. Ron and Harry? They turned around the corner and looked at you two. Ron looked dreadful.

'Ron, you look horrible.. are you okay?'

'I'm taking him to the hospital wing.' Harry said.

You hurried towards Harry and Ron. Draco slowly followed you. Ron was almost passed out.

'What happened?' You asked.

'He ate chocolates with a love potion in them so I brought him to Slughorn. He offered us a drink and Ron got poisoned.'

Draco knew exactly what drink it was about. He couldn't believe his plan failed.

'Poisoned?! What kind of person would put poison in a drink?!'

'I don't know but I have to get him out of here, so excuse me for a moment.'

Harry walked away with Ron. Draco laid a hand on your shoulder as you watched him leave.

'He'll be okay.' Draco said.

You turned to him and hugged him. Draco hugged you back. He felt incredibly guilty.

'I don't get how this happened.' You sighed.

'I don't know either.' Draco just said. 'We should head back Y/N.'

You looked up and nodded. Draco grabbed your hand and you continued again.

You entered the common room. Draco followed you in. He took off his jacket and swung it over his shoulder while still holding it. You turned around and smiled. He was so attractive. Draco smiled back at You with a small blush.

You walked over to him and leaned up to give him a kiss.

'Goodnight.' You smiled.

'Goodnight. I'll see you tomorrow.'

'I love you.' You then said.

Draco smiled.

'Love you too.'

You turned around and walked towards your dorm..

-

'Maybe you shouldn't do this Y/N.' Draco said.

'What? I shouldn't be visiting my friend in the hospital wing? Hermione is going too.'

Draco sighed and grabbed your wrist. He stopped you from walking. You turned to him.

'He hasn't supported you either. I mean in our relationship.'

'That doesn't mean that I'm not going to support him. It might change his way of thinking.'

You pulled your wrist back and turned around.

'Y/N-'

'Draco, trust me on this one, okay?'

You kissed his cheek and turned to walk away. You walked inside and saw Slughorn and Dumbledore. Hermione was sitting besides Ron's bed, holding his hand.

You pushed through the professors and laid your hand on her shoulder. She turned to you and smiled sadly.

'Thanks for being here.' She said. 'I know Ron has been a bit of a pain to you lately.'

'That doesn't mean that I don't want to support him.'

'You should be very proud of your student, Horace.' Dumbledore said.

You looked at them.

'Ah, yes. Very proud. I think we agree Potter's actions were heroic. The question is: Why were they necessary?' Slughorn sighed.

You didn't get it either. Weird that this was happening.

'It, indeed. This appears to be a gift, Horace. You don't remember who gave you this bottle?' Dumbledore asked. 'By the way, it possesses remarkably subtle hints of liquorice and cherry.'

'When not polluted with poison. Actually, I had intended to give it as a gift, myself.' Slughorn spoke a bit troubled.

'To whom, might I ask?'

Slughorn looked at Dumbledore.

'To you, headmaster.'

Then you heard someone run in. You saw Lavender appear. Oh god.

'Where is he? Where's my Won-Won? Has he been asking for me?'

Then she saw Hermione. Hermione got up and looked at her. They looked like they could kill each other. You stepped back a little.

'What's she doing here?'

'I might ask you the same question.'

'I happen to be his girlfriend.' Lavender exclaimed.

'And I happen to be his.. friend.'

Lavender looked at her in disgust.

'Don't make me laugh. You haven't spoken in weeks. I suppose you want to make up with him now that he's suddenly all interesting.'

How could she be like this?! He had been poisoned!

'He's been poisoned, you daft dimbo!' You exclaimed.

'And for the record, I've always found him interesting.' Hermione snapped.

Ron then started mumbling. He knew there were people.

'See? He senses my presence. Don't worry, Won-Won. I'm here.'

'Hermione.' He mumbled softly.

Hermione smiled. She sat down besides his bed and grabbed his hand again.

'Hermione... Hermione.'

'I told you it would work out.' You whispered to her.

She looked at you and smiled happily.
