To Hogsmeade

You never really know how much you like someone until you try out new things.

It's been a couple months, November to be exact, and only a little has changed between me and Draco. It's like we were already dating but now we hold hands, it seems to relax both of us. I dont know... It's like a way for us to know someone is there... It's nice. Kissing on the lips a private matter, I'm not one for PDA and Draco is sort of shy with that as well. But forehead, cheek, or hand is a anytime free for all... It's strange, we were enemies long ago and now... Now we are each other's support.

Draco is sweet, he's... I... I like him a lot and I can tell how he relaxes around me... I like him... I really do.

Draco always meets me in the common room in the mornings and walks with me to the the Great Hall for breakfast. Then we walk to classes together and during study period we go to the Room of Requirements where we take turns studying and working on the cabinet.

Draco takes charge of working on the cabinet though, he asked me to let him take care of the responsibility and I backed down for him. I think he takes charge not only because he was chosen for it but because he doesn't want the burden to fall on me, the guilt....When the weather was amazing I begged him to study outside with me. He agreed with hesitation because of the cabinet but ended up happy afterwards.

We always sat under the same tree with me leaning on his side as he holds the book for us. But obviously with the winter weather we spend most of our time in the Room of Requirement. .Lunch is also a together meal and then after classes are over for the day we eat dinner together... That's obvious of course.

After dinner I do our Prefect duty while he heads to the cabinet. After I am done flying around I join him in the Room of Requirements and wait for him to finish. Sometimes I end up falling asleep and he wakes me up to head back.

He wanted to quit Quidditch... I told him no because I know how much he likes it. I don't want him changing his whole life because of this. He doesn't deserve that. He's just a boy....We do get watchful eyes, I know for sure Hermione, Ron, and Harry watch us. It's convenient when they share the same classes as us.

Slytherins are starting to say we are the 'power' couple... Malfoy and Solace. Draco is rich, powerful.I'm 'hot' and smart, plus the wings.

I dont know...Pansy... Hates me, that I do know.

All the other houses are wondering why I would date a git like Draco... Especially the Gryffindor house...I wish they could see him how I see him.But no one can see what I can...----

I woke up with a good start, took a shower and dried myself the dressed in a thick sweater, scarf, pants, and winter boots before heading out of my room to meet Draco.

(Doesn't my family have money? I'm so tired of other people buying items for me. First it was Dumbledore and now Narcissa.)

On the topic of Dumbledore... He's been ignoring me I believe. The only time I see him is in the Great Hall which is to far away to look into his memories. When I tried to visit him in his office the password wouldn't work...So Dumbledore is definitely trying to ignore me.

Which I am alright with, I'm not to eager to learn 130(?) years of memories he can recall just so I can find one. I think I've lost my mind enough already by the three people I have seen.

•When I got to the common room it was more busy then normal since today was a weekend. Students were either staying here to hang out or going to Hogsmeade, Draco and I chose to go to the Three Broomsticks for a little.

Draco was sitting on the couch in a daze.(Oh, no... Somethings up.)

I rounded to the back of the couch the wrapped my arms around him. "Hey."

Draco relaxed. "Solace." He turned to look at me. "Are you warm enough?"

"Yes." I eyed the worry etched into his face. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Draco gave me a slight smile.

I nodded. "I won't pry. But I will force you to come and get drunk on butterbeer with me."

Draco raised a brow. "I'd like to see you try." I smiled and let him go, he stood up and fixed his suit. "Ready?"

I looked him up and down. "You look nice."

"I know." He grabbed his coat from the arm of the couch and walked around it to me. "You are as beautiful as ever." He kissed my forehead.

I smiled and took his hand. "I know." Draco smiled softly. "Let's go before all the tables are taken."

Draco started to led me out of the Slytherin common room. "I saved a table already in the back room."

I smiled and rolled my eyes. "Of course you did." Draco pushed open the door and let me walk out first. "Such a gentleman."

Draco put his coat on then took my hand back. "I wasn't raised to be discourteous." I raised a brow, he scoffed. "Shut it."

I smiled. "I didn't say anything." We continued walking to the exit that led to Hogsmeade.

Draco's went back to being quiet, his face had a limp look, worry in his eyes like he is overthinking something, I squeezed his hand, he looked at me.

I looked at him softly. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"

Draco squeezed my hand back. "I know." We walked out and he put our hands in his coat pocket. "You need gloves."

I sighed. "Please don't buy me anymore items. I feel bad as it is. I feel like some leech."

"You are not a leech." Draco rubbed the back on my hand with his thumb. "I have plenty of money to spend, especially on you."

"That doesn't mean you should. Im not dating you for your money. I'm not here because of the gifts."

Draco took my hand out of his pocket and brought it to his lips to place a kiss. "I know." He put our hands back in his pocket.

I smiled and leaned my head against him and held onto his arm with my other hand. "Have I ever told you how glad I am that I met you."

Draco huffed. "I was an ass to you."

"Was. You were an ass, but now... Thank you." Draco looked down at me, I smiled softly. "You make my world happier."

Draco looked back ahead. "Why?.. Why do you like me?... I've been rude and mean to you for years. I'm a- and I have to-." Draco's hand on mine loosened.

I squeezed his hand. "You aren't wrong. You were a complete and utter douche bag." Draco looked at me sadly, I held his arm tighter. "But you grew up and became a gentleman with a few problems." I shrugged. "Without forgiveness and love, you will live with resentment, bitterness, malice and strife which result in more pain."

Draco looked to the ground. "You know what I have to do. You know my task." He looked at me sadly. "You know what I am and who I follow."

I looked ahead. (...) "I know everything and I still choose you." I cuddled with his arm. "You make me happy in a way I've never felt before."

Draco looked ahead in thought as we continued down the trail. "I don't deserve you."

I squeezed his hand. "And a person like you shouldn't exist in my life... I guess we are both wrong."

Draco slowed down to a stop and turned to me. "You could find someone better than me."

"Yea, I guess I could." Draco saddened, I smiled and went on my tiptoes to give him a peck. "But I like who I'm dating now."

Draco's other hand came to my cheek, he leaned down and press his lips to mine gently. (I love this man.)

Draco broke the kiss but kept our forehead connected. "Never leave me... Please."

I smiled softly. "You might get tired of me."

"Never."

"We'll see." I kissed him back.
