"So is Harry like a good guy now?" Milo scoffed
"he always was." River added
"That still doesn't explain the dreams" Blaise sighed
"We haven't made it that far but we need to leave if we ever want to find out" I stood from the couch.
"She's right, let's grab our things and meet back here in 30 minutes" Pansy stood up as well.
***
I grabbed my clothes and a few books, shoving them into my bag.
I didn't want to leave...I really didn't, but we have no choice.
A gentle knock came from my door.
I opened it slightly to see Draco standing right outside of it.
"Is there something wrong?" I scoffed
"Can I come in?" He asked
"Sure" I stepped back, allowing him to walk in.
"I think there's something else about our dreams that might make this more complicated." He sat down on my bed
"What do you mean?"
"Some of them just don't make sense...some you know they're memories because you are experiencing it through your own eyes?"
"Yeah...I don't understand where this is going"
"I think some of them reflect our future" he gulped
"What?" I sat down next to him
"Last night I had another dream...it was different." His jaw clenched and his breathing intensified
"I'm going to need more explaining than that"
"Star, you were....dead"
my smile quickly faded
"we were alone, and I was kneeling beside you. It was like I was watching myself trying to save you." His breathing became heavier and sweat began pooling on his forehead.
"It could have just been an actual dream"
"No...it was real" his breath was ragged
"I'll be okay" I grabbed his hand.
"it could have been a warning...if we didn't leave."
"Do you have your stuff ready?" I asked
He nodded
"Let's go, yeah?" I smiled weakly
We both stood up and walked to the common room.
"Okay, I grabbed a map from the library. If we follow the coordinates I drew out we can make it to the sea and to boat haul. We'll take the boat to an unmarked island and then from there we'll rest up and sail to America got it?" Emerson glanced to us
We all nod.
"Why can't we just apparate?" Pansy asked
"That's the tricky part...we can...you can only apparate so far and so much until the ministry begins to track your movements...we don't need a path leading them right to us" she closed the map and stuck it in her bag.
"We'll use a port key to travel to London for now. My family has some distant relatives that own a bed and breakfast for us to stay in for the night." Emerson continued
"It's safe?" Draco cleared his throat
"I'm not sure anywhere is safe anymore, but this is our best bet...we're going to be okay" Emerson sighed
She laid down a book on the table.
"Everyone grab on at the same time" Emerson demanded
"One...two..."
"Let's leave this piece of shit" Milo scoffed, placing his hand above the book
"Three!"
We all grabbed the book as a bright light consumed us. It whirled us around and around until we finally fell face first on the ground.
"Did it work?" I groaned, picking myself up from the ground
"Emerson? Blaise?" Someone spoke from the corner
"I'm guessing so..." Pansy scoffed as an old woman came towards us with her arms outstretched
"Eloise!" Emerson ran and hugged the old woman
"What are you doing here?" The woman asked
"We need a place to stay for tonight...but you can't tell a soul you seen us...especially mum and dad. Got it?"
"it's not illegal is it?"
"not completely illegal..." Blaise hugged her
"mhm...then your secret is safe with me" she winked
"Follow me I'll get you some rooms" she smiled and began walking up the stairs
***
"Eloise said they haven't had much business so if the records show more rooms than usual, it might look suspicious" Emerson sat her stuff down on one of the beds.
"it might be fun, we haven't shared a room since first year" pansy sat down next to me
"it seems like it was yesterday" i scoffed
"do you think the boys will be able to handle sharing a room?" river laughed
"we might find them dead in the morning" Emerson added
"less of a load we have to haul with us" i laughed
a knock at the door interrupted our laughter
"yes?" River opened the door
Blaise and Milo stood at the door.
"we would like to escort our ladies to the ballroom down stairs" Milo smirked
"oooh a ballroom, how fancy" pansy took blaise's hand and twirled down the hall.
"i'll take two please" milo smirked, holding his hands out to Emerson and River
"oh...i was thinking i could go with emerson" river teased, throwing her arm around Emerson's waist
"even better" milo squeezed in between them both
"you're disgusting" emerson scoffed, shoving him down the hall.
i guess Draco was the party pooper of the bunch
i walked to their room and knocked
"i told you i don't want to-" Draco jerked the door open
"what?" he sighed
"are you not coming?"
"i was showering...i'll probably be down later"
"oh...okay, i'll see you in a bit" i turned away
"Star"
i turned back around
"wait for me?" he sighed
"sure" i smiled
he opened the door and let me in.
my eyes shifted away when i caught view that he was only in a towel.
"oh sorry" my hands flew over my eyes
"it's just a towel" he scoffed
"i know..it's just weird, i'll face this way...get dressed" i sighed, facing the wall
"alright, alright" he chuckled
i heard some rustling noise coming from across the room.
then silence.
i heard footsteps creeping closer and closer.
"are you done?"
silence.
"are you dressed?" i gulped
no answer.
i felt his hand run down my shoulder, stopping at my fingers. he spun me around to face him.
"i thought you were getting dressed?" i rolled my eyes
"would you prefer i did?" he smirked
before i could answer he picked up my hand and placed it on his chest.
"draco" i chuckled
"what?"
he placed his hand on the side of my face, brushing his thumb against my skin.
"so beautiful..."he whispered, studying my every move.
i looked to the ground, trying to break contact.
"look at me" he said almost demanding.
my eyes met his once more.
he leaned down, titling my head slightly. He began placing small kisses on the crook of my neck.
my lips parted and chills ran down my arms...just by the subtle movements he did.
he lifted my legs to wrap around his waist and walked us over to the bed. he laid me down gently as he hovered over top.
he loosed the buttons on my shirt.
"is this okay?" he asked
i nodded, my breath was ragged.
he guided his fingers down the buttons, stopping at my pants line.
he smirked at the quiet sounds that came from my mouth.
our lips met....what started as easy, quickly became intense...exhilarating.
his hands slid back up to my neck as he kissed his way down to my neck.
i gasped
"that good? i haven't even started" he scoffed and he continued
"shut up" i breathed
i flipped us over and began to repay the favor, guiding small kisses down his neck.
"shit" he groaned
he turned us over one last time.
"i'm in control here" he smirked
"is that what you think?"
"that's what i know Star" he continued kissing down to my collarbones.
