Bittersweet Tragedy | | Draco Malfoy

Rose Garden Filled With Thorns

"I told him we forgive him" He responded, nonchalantly as if it was no big deal

I laughed, not believing him until I saw he was serious "Wait you're serious?" He nodded "since when do you speak for me? You can forgive him but just because we're dating doesn't mean you get to forgive him for me. That's my decision"

Draco looked at me for the first time since I had arrived "Well what did you expect me to do? Have him go and tell my dad? Have you upset because he was an arse?

"I wasn't upset because he was an arse, I was upset because you were upset. I couldn't care less what he said, and if you are so worried about your dad finding out then why are you still dating me?" The minute the sentence came out I regretted it, and I could tell he was hurt

"Merlin Y/N, are you joking? Do you think I would choose him over you? Maybe you don't realize how important this relationship is to me, or maybe it isn't as important to you as it is to me." He spat

"Don't turn this around on me, this started because you thought you had any right to speak for me," I said

"Maybe I did because you never solve any of your fucking problems" He yelled

His words cut through me like a dagger "I'm going to go" I said and went to leave, Draco began to protest "I just need a second okay?"

He sighed and nodded, I left trying to hold back my tears. I hadn't cried in so long, and I wasn't even crying because of what he said, I was crying because I hated fighting with him.

I walked up to my dorm, sitting on my bed and putting my head in my hands before breaking.

Draco's Pov

I watched her walk away, I could tell just by the way she walked moved that she was crying. I don't see her cry often but almost every time I have it's been my fault.

I turned to the mirror behind me and pushed back my hair, taking a minute before breaking down. I felt like a shitty boyfriend, I shouldn't have yelled at her like that. I knew we would grow past this, we always did but I hated fighting her like this.

There was never a winner.

Y/N Pov

Luna came in a few minutes after I had, she immediately talked to me the minute she realized I was crying. I explained the whole situation, hoping for her wisdom.

"Well I think it's obvious Y/N, you two need to talk. I'm glad you took a second but this is going to just fester and it's going to explode at some point. " She said,

I laid back on my bed, letting out an exasperated sigh as I called Callie to my window, I hadn't seen her all year, there wasn't really a point if she had no letters from home. I wrote a letter for Draco telling him to meet me at our spot in 10.

He responded a minute later, telling me he'd be waiting for me. Luna peered over my should and smiled before pushing me out the door

"Now my lovely, go resolve the fight, I love you!"

I smiled and headed downstairs, preparing myself for the conversation awaiting me.

-----------------

When I arrived at the lake I saw Draco laying on his back, looking up at the stars. I smiled to myself as I laid next to him, he looked over at me.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told Blaise that you forgave him." He said quietly,y looking back up at the stars

"I'm sorry too, I know you wouldn't leave me because of your father...and I know you were trying to make everything better..." I smiled

"I love you Y/N, you know that. I just hate seeing you upset" He said looking back over at me, I looked back at him

"I know, but you can't fix everything. Shit's going to happen, but I promise you, as long as you keep being you, I'll be okay" He smiled, gently caressing my cheek

"Good...oh and you looked great in my tie," He said, his smile turning into a smirk as I rolled my eyes and looked back up at the stars

"I still can't believe you did that," I said, looking back at Draco as he turned my head softly to look at him again.

He stared into my eyes before snapping out of whatever trance he was in "Now you'll have something of mine and I have something of yours"

He was just as much a hopeless romantic as I was, and I loved every bit of it. I leaned in and kiss him lightly and pulling back after a little.

He pulled back in, deepening the kiss by holding my face, smiling against my lips as I held his wrist. He pulled back, looking at me, and just at that moment, I realized that this was the man I was going to marry.

Because despite our past and our fights he is the only person I could look at that night and only feel love.

The night wasn't going to last forever, and we weren't going to be perfect but we had each other, and that all we needed.

At that moment, nothing in the world could hurt us...

But a moment only lasts for so long.
