You weren't sure how the feeling of "now or never" swept all over you but you ran making your left shoe strap snap.
But you didn't even care that you only had one shoe on and that your updo had fallen apart. You just needed to find him.
You had to find him.
When the main entrance came into view, you stood on the spot, for a second to catch your breath.
And just when you were about to stagger inside with your messy hair and only one shoe, you saw him—out of breath, hair falling into his eyes and a deep red stain on his shirt.
"Draco..." You choked out as you pressed the palm of your hand on your chest. "I thought you were inside."

A tear slipped from your carefully lined eyes as you choked out the words.
"I love you too Draco."
