Darkest desires

Chloé POV
__________

I feel like I've only closed my eyes for a few minutes, when Draco shook my body saying I need to wake up. It's time, I thought.

I grunted and opened my eyes. Draco is moving quickly, dressing himself in warm clothes, so I assumed we're going out. Amazing, from this warm bed into freezing cold night.

When I noticed my clothes on Draco's table, I stood up from the bed and started dressing myself. I'm glad Draco brought my warmest sweater from my room, with that I can cover my shivering body. I don't think it's from the cold...stress is consuming me. I'm trying to keep it together, but my legs are shaking like crazy. I just want this night to be over. I have no idea how we're gonna do this.

"Draco, I'm scared..." I mumbled when I pulled the sweatshirt over my head.

Draco looks busy, he's walking around the room and saying nothing, but he finally stopped and looked at me.

"Come to me." He said and I did so.

He spread his arms and I gladly let them wrap around my body. I placed my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes to enjoy this moment to the fullest.

"Whatever happens today, I need you to know that I love you and I always will." He whispered into my ear and kissed my neck right after. This made me calmer a bit, but my body is still shaking.

"We need to go now." He said and released from the hug.

When we opened the door, Blaise was already waiting for us in the corridor. I totally forgot that he's going with us...I kind of wanted to be with Draco alone...never mind. I feel sorry that we're dragging him into this.

"We have to hurry!" Stammered Blaise and gave us both annoyed looks.

We went through halls and corridors, the castle is totally empty, we haven't met a soul. While we were walking, nobody said a thing. We're too busy with our own thoughts. What if this is the last time I'm walking through this castle? If things don't go as planned today,will anyone even remember me? Will they make me a memorial and then forget that I existed the next day?

I feel a warm tear on my cheek and I quickly wiped it with my sleeve. Draco is pulling my hand to walk faster, Blaise is a few steps ahead of us. We're all scared to death.

I want someone to come now, I want someone to talk me out of this. I want to meet Fred or Luna to tell me everything's gonna be alright. Fred! He has no idea what's going on with me, because I didn't tell him. The last time I saw him we didn't even talk much. It was at the hospital wing and I told him to go away, because I needed to be with Draco. Oh, my poor Fred! I need to see him...

"Draco...Draco-" I pulled his sleeve.

"Hm?"

"I have to see Fred, I have to see him for the last-"

"DON'T SAY THAT! You're not gonna die!" He yelled at me so loud that even Blaise looked at us.

He didn't mean to yell...he's just scared like all of us...it's the stress.

But still, a few more tears appeared in my eyes. He hasn't yelled at me for a very long time and it made me emotional.

"No, god...I'm so sorry, Chloé...don't cry."

I nodded my head and kept walking until we came outside. It's one of the side entrances with a very little chance for someone to notice us. It's a dark night, the moon is new, so it doesn't give us any light. Blaise took out his wand and whispered lumos.
