Chapter Eight

A beautiful smile blooms across Draco's face and his beautiful grey eyes sparkle in joy. He presses his lips against yours and you smile against his lips as he drops a bit of his honey into your mouth.

—My father is an aristocratic wizard and patriarch of my family. He believes strongly in notions of blood purity and the superiority of Pure-Blood wizards. The Death Eaters share his point of view on blood purity and... I was raised that way. But you came into my life and changed what I believed in.

—That's why our romance is forbidden, isn't it? You're a Pure-Blood. You're not allowed to be with someone like me because of that... blood purity thing.

—Fuck with blood purity! —He punches the table with all his strengths—. I do wanna be with you, damn it! —Everybody turns to look at you two and he lows his voice tone—. My feelings for you are for real, princess.

—I know, sweetie —you caress his beautiful face and he melts into your touch—. I can feel it in every kiss you drop on my lips.

—But you know that's not the only reason why our romance is forbidden, don't you? —You look down and nod.

—Richard —you whisper.

—Yes. You already have a boyfriend.

—But I don't love him! I love... —you blush so hard— ...you. —He blushes so hard and a beautiful smile blooms across his face.

—I love you too, princess —he leans in and drops a sweet kiss on your lips.

—Why does it have to be so complicated?

—We're gonna solve it together, love. I promise.

Draco and you spend the rest of the afternoon talking, drinking butterbeer, kissing and caressing in between, and when the night comes, he takes you back home on his broomstick.

—I'm ready for my next ice skating lesson tomorrow —he says as he helps you get off the broomstick.

—Do you mean your "smooching lesson"?

—Yes —he replies mischievously and pins you against the wall by your wrists. You lick your lips lightly, looking at his—. And I wanna help you perfect that loop you've been practicing. —A beautiful smile lights your face up—. See you tomorrow, gorgeous —he whispers against your lips and kisses you passionately, taking your breath away.

—Sweet dreams, handsome. —He winks.

—Oh! I almost forget it —he takes your backpack out of his pocket and takes out his wand—. Engorgio! —He casts and your backpack gets back to its normal size—. Your backpack, princess.

—I love magic.

Draco plants a peck on your lips and goes.

The next day, Draco and you are ice skating in the park and he is helping you practice your triple loop as he promised. You try to do the loop but fail and fall down, but before your body can touch the ice, he takes out his wand.

—Arresto Momentum! —He casts and keeps you from hitting the ice. You blink repeatedly in disbelief—. Stand up, gorgeous. Try again —he helps you stand up and plants a peck on your lips.

—Ok —you reply smiling.

You keep skating and try to do the triple loop again, but fail and fall down over and over and over again, and Draco keeps casting the same spell to keep you from getting hurt, and keeps kissing you after every attempt.

—This is useless. I'm not gonna make it —you say frustrated.

—I know you can do it, princess. I believe in you. —A shy smile blooms across your face—. Just one more try, love, please.

—Ok —you nod—. I can do it. I can do it.

You start repeating that phrase as a mantra while you start skating. Draco smiles. You try to do the triple loop again, but get a quadruple jump with a perfect landing instead. Draco's jaw drops in wide-eyed surprise and so does yours.

—Yes! —He yells proud.

—I did it! I did it! And it's much more than what it was supposed to be! —You exclaim excited. Draco lifts you up and spins as both of you giggle.

—Wow babygirl! I didn't know that the human body could do that.

—Neither did I —You say in disbelief.

—You can do anything you set your mind to, love —he leans in and drops a delicious juicy kiss on your lips—. Let's celebrate with a delicious chocolate cake. My treat.

—Don't take offense, sweetie, but I don't think you can pay with galleons there.

—I know —he takes some Great Britain pounds out of his pocket and you jaw drops.

—But... but how?

—I didn't know that it was possible to exchange wizarding money for muggle money in Gringotts —he winks. You smile.

After practicing the triple loop and quadruple jump for a while with excellent results, Draco and you go to that small cafe to celebrate your achievements with chocolate cake and coffee, and lots of kisses and caresses, of course.

It's September 1 now. The week flew, and Draco and you have been going on very romantic dates evey day. He returns to Hogwarts today and it's your first day of school as well. It's early morning. Draco and you are walking through King's Cross Station, hands entwined. You're carrying your backpack and both of you are pushing a cart with an enormous trunk and a caged snowy owl with blue eyes on top of it.

—Your owl is beautiful, Dray.

—Thanks. He is Anthros.

—Hi Anthros, it's nice to meet you —you smile and slide your hand into the cage to pet him. Anthros hoots and Draco smiles.

—He likes you. —You smile—. In the Wizarding World, we don't use those things you call... uhm... phones. We owl each other to communicate.

—Owl? I don't understand. —He smiles.

—Soon you will. I'm gonna show you, I promise —he winks. You smile.

—What platform did you say we're going?

—Platform 9 3/4.

—But that doesn't exist, right?

—Do you think? —He winks and a big smile blooms across your face because you realize that its something related to magic—. Well, here we are —he stops between Platforms 9 and 10—. Behind this wall lies Platform 9 3/4.

—And does this wall open up magically?

—Not exactly. We must pass through the wall.

—Wait, what?

—We may run a bit if you're nervous —he tells you sweetly.

—Uhm... Are you sure that I will manage to cross the wall?

—As long as you're with me, princess —he leans in and plants a peck on your lips. You smile—. Are you ready? —You nod—. One, two, three.

Draco and you run and pass through the wall, and into a blink, you find yourselves in another platform full of wizards and witches of all ages. Cats wind their way around people's legs and owls hoot to each other. Your smile turns bigger when you look up and see a sign with the words "Platform 9 3/4".

There is a majestic scarlet steam train billowing smoke. Its name is written with beautiful golden letters: "Hogwarts Express", and a sign over the train announces that it departs at eleven o'clock.

—Wow! —You say amazed. He smiles—. Is this the train that takes you to Hogwarts every year?

—That's right, gorgeous.

—I wish I could go with you —you say with sadness. He sighs.

—I wish it could be like that, princess —he plants a peck on your lips—. But we'll be together again on Christmas Holidays.

—I'll be counting the days.

When a guard accomodates Draco's trunk into the baggage car, you know it's farewell time, so Draco and you share a warm hug and melt in an endless loving kiss...

—I'm gonna miss you so much, sweetie —you caress his beautiful face and he melts into your touch.

—So am I, gorgeous —he tucks your hair behind your ear—. I don't want... —he holds back his tears— ...him to hurt my princess again.

—I won't give him reasons to do it —you say in tears and Draco wipes them away with his kisses.

—We'd better go back to the other side, sweetheart. Otherwise you won't be able to do it by yourself. —You nod and you two cross the wall.

—I love you, Dray.

—I love you more, (Y/N/N) —he drops a sweet kiss on your lips and disappears through the wall.

A train arrives to the station just after Draco leaves. The doors open and you get petrified by seeing who just got off.

—Richard...
