"Good morning," I smile at Tom satisfied and stretch extensively.

"Morning," he replies and pushes me off him to get up.

Pouting I watch him making his way to the bathroom.

Sighing, I lie and pull the covers over my head.

Why did I have to come across such a complicated guy?

"What do you say," I hear him call from the bathroom. "Are you getting out of bed today?"

"What do you say," I repeat his words.

"Are you coming back to bed?"

"If you get up after that."

He replies and leans against the door frame looking at me.

"Deal," I grin and lift the covers up invitingly.

He walks over to the bed and lies down next to me.

I immediately cuddle against his warm body and breathe in his soothing and captivating smell.

What an incredible luck I have that he wants me as his girlfriend.

No word except protected can describe my feeling better.

I know that no one can do anything to me as long as I'm with him.

Only he can be my downfall.

He can't protect me from himself and nor from myself, but I know that he will protect me from the rest of the world.

I don't know if he will ever acknowledge me as his girlfriend in front of others, but that's not important to me.

I don't care as long as I can be with him and we can enjoy my remaining time here together.

The remaining time that I still officially have.

How would he react if he knew that I'll disappear from his life,  after the end of the school year?

He will never see me again.

And if he does, then we will be standing on different sides and will have to fight against each other?

I wonder if he will try to kill me?

I wouldn't stand a chance against him.

I know that there is no wixard in the world with more sense of magic.

He could achieve so much good with his talent.

But he throws our world and himself in to ruin.

In years of despair, fear, paranoia.

So many will die.

On both sides.

Will he ever think back to on his victims?

And if so, what will he feel?

Triumph?

Pride?

Contempt?

Or just indifference?

When he'll see all the children who have lost their parents because of him, what will he do?

He has made so many children in to orphans.

I wonder if he has developed a hatred towards Muggles because of the orphanage where he grew up.
