"Yes, I think they're asleep. Hang on," you heard Narcissa Malfoy whisper to her husband, along with the sound of footsteps entering the living room.

You and Draco looked at each other with panicked faces, the both of you quickly scrambling into sleep positions that would convince Mrs. Malfoy that you were asleep.

She peeked through the entrance of the fort, smiling to herself as she saw the two of you "sleeping soundly." She always thought your friendship was too pure for this world, and she constantly prayed to Merlin that nothing would ever happen to the two of you.

Convinced that you were both asleep, and still smiling to herself in content, Narcissa closed the fort entrance and stood up to leave the living room.

Once you and Draco were sure that she had left, you both opened your eyes, immediately bursting into yet another fit of giggles.

"Sh- shh," you tried to shush between laughs, which of course, only made the two of you laugh even harder.

{ Present Time }

Draco stared blankly out the window of his house that he had just moved into. It was a large house near a forest, and he liked it. He felt... content, here. At least, he tried to. He wanted to, but something was making it rather difficult. Or, someone was making it difficult.

He was regretting leaving you in London, but this was what was supposed to happen, right? Graduation was about moving on, becoming a new person, starting a new life. It wasn't supposed to be about feeling guilty, the opposite actually. It was supposed to make you forget about your past mistakes, give you a clean slate.

Draco wasn't stupid. Or maybe he was. Whatever. He knew why he was feeling so much guilt. He loved you. Like, love loved you; not just platonically. And that's how it's always been.

As he stared out the window, something in the forest caught his attention. It was two deer, who Draco assumed were lovers, considering how affectionately they nudged their heads together.

Draco tentatively watched the two deer, lightly smiling to himself as he thought about how similar animals and humans actually were. Subconsciously, he thought about you.

He watched as the deer scurried off into the woods together, running away from the sound of a bird's screech. Draco didn't know why, but he found himself feeling irritated at the bird for ruining the rather heartwarming moment.

He then walked to his bookshelf to find a book that would keep him busy for a while.

December, 1994

"You're going to the ball with McLaggen?!" Draco yelled, his face beginning to turn pink as he got angrier and angrier.

You scoffed. "So?! What the hell is your problem?!"

"Bloody hell, Y/N, are you blind?! He's only going to break your heart!"

"Really?! Because it sounds to me like your just jealous!"

He looked at the floor, shuffling his feet. "I'm just trying to protect you," he muttered.
