Chapter Nine

Richard seems to be more surprised than you to see you in the station. He was supposed to arrive tonight.

—What are you doing here, (Y/N)?

—I... uhm... My female sixth sense told me that you would arrive earlier, so I came to wait for you —you lie.

—So... aren't you gonna give me a kiss?

—Uhm... sure.

You have no choice. He leans in and you just wanna give him a quick peck, but he grabs your waist and pulls you closer, and goes for a deeper kiss. You feel much disgust when his tongue touches yours, but you can't let him know, so you kiss him back, but thinking on Draco and the delicious taste of his kisses.

—Am I detecting certain sparkle in your eyes? I hadn't seen it in a long time.

—Uhm... it's just... I'm glad you're back, Richard —you lie again.

Your eyes used to sparkle that way when you became his girlfriend. When you used to think you were in love with him. But that sparkle died when he started mistreating you. When you started to be scared of him. But now that sparkle returned to your eyes and with much more intensity since your first kiss with Draco.

—I guess I have to be out of town more frequently then.

—I hope so —you whisper, low enough for him not to hear—. But what are you saying, Richard? —You giggle and push him playfully and he giggles too. It seems like you're a really good actress.

—Come on, (Y/N). I'll take you to the school. I don't want you to be late.

—Uhm... thanks.

He entwines his hand with yours and leads you to the car parking.

—You know that I love you, don't you? —Richard asks and that question makes you feel so uncomfortable.

—Richard, I...

He takes you by surprise by grabbing your waist and kissing you desperately. But you push him gently, forcing him to break the kiss.

—Richard, please. I'm gonna be late —it's the only excuse that comes to your mind to keep his disgusting kisses away from you.

—You're right. Let's go.

That night, you wake up by hearing a flutter on your window followed by a hooting that scares the hell out of you. It's almost midnight. You get out of bed quickly and open the curtains. There is a beautiful snowy owl on your window.

—Anthros? Oh my God, Anthros! —You open the window and he enters your bedroom—. What are you doing here, little buddy? Draco must be worried about you —you pet him and he hoots—. What do you have in your beak?

You notice that he is holding a beautiful white rose with a letter. The envelope is closed by a beautiful wax seal with the letter "M", and your name is written on it. A big smile blooms across your face by realizing that this is what Draco meant to say with the "owl each other" thing.

The letter is handwritten by quill on a piece of parchment and has his delicious scent of apple and mint. A beautiful smile blooms across your face as you sit on bed and start reading:

"Dear (Y/N):

How was your day? We've been separated just for a few hours and I already miss you so much, love.

Richard surely came back already, right? I hope you're alright, sweetheart. I couldn't bear with it if he hurts you again.

I had a fight with another wizard in the train: Potter. I caught him spying me, but I hit him what he deserved. Someone had to teach him that it's rude to eavesdrop.

I arrived to Hogwarts and there was a big welcome dinner banquet in the Great Hall as every year, but I wasn't hungry. I couldn't stop thinking on where to start looking for that bloody vanishing cabinet.

I'm in my dorm now. I'm going to bed after owling you this letter. Anthros is very intelligent. I'm sure he won't have trouble to find you.

Perhaps this is gonna sound very sassy, but I would like you to be here with me, in my bed..."

—Oh my God! —You blush so hard and fan your face with your hands—. I love this cute sassy boy —you giggle and keep reading:

"...I would smother you with kisses and never let you go.

I apologize if I offended you. It's just... I'm crazy for you, babygirl. Only you have the power to make these wild thoughts come to my mind.

Tomorrow I'm gonna start looking for that old cabinet in the restricted section of the library.

Would you like us to owl each other every week?

I love you, princess. I'm dying to kiss your sexy lips again.

Forever yours,

Draco"

You sigh as you press the letter against your chest. You tear a sheet of paper off your notebook and write a letter to your prince as Anthros stares at you mindfully.

You put a red lipstick on your lips and kiss the letter once you finish writing it. You put it in an envelope and write: "Draco Malfoy".

—Take this to Draco, please, Anthros.

Anthros hoots and grabs your letter with his beak, and flies out immediately.

Draco receives your letter in a jiffy. A beautiful smile blooms across his face as he starts reading it:

"Dear Draco:

I miss you so much too, love. It's gonna be so hard to be away from you, but at least I have the tons of pictures of us that we took with my phone during these days we've been together.

Have you noticed that we're kissing in most of them? I've been staring at them for hours before going to bed, and I downloaded them to my computer before deleting them off my phone, you know, just in case. I promise to show you what a computer is on Christmas Holidays, sweetie.

You aren't gonna believe what happened to me. Richard arrived just after you disappeared through the wall. He was more surprised than me to see me in the station, but I told him that I was waiting for him because my female sixth sense told me that he would arrive earlier.

Luckyly, he believed me.

Billy Oliver, the class clown, started a food fight at lunch, and I had to use my tray as a shield, but many students ended up covered in meatballs and spaghetti. It was funny.

I'm alright, sweetie. Richard didn't hurt me. He is very pleased with my improvement on the triple loop.

About your sassy invitation, the answer is yes. I would love to be there with you, in your bed..."

—Holy Heaven! —He blushes so hard—. I love this cute naughty girl —he giggles and keeps reading:

"...I'm so crazy for you that I would leave hickeys all over your body, so that you think of me even when you're away.

Of course I would love us to owl each other every week. I love magic, but I love you more, baby. I can't wait for you to drop your sweet honey into my mouth again.

Forever yours,

(Y/N)

PS: Thank you so much for the rose, my love. What a beautiful detail!"

His heart fills with joy and he can't help but bite his lower lip seductively when he sees your lipstick kiss mark at the end of the letter. He keeps it carefully under his pillow and falls asleep.

Tomorrow is gonna be a long day.
