five hours with draco malfoy; pt.2

Part twenty seven

THE SPECIAL DAY had arrived. Annelisse had not spoken to Draco yet despite always carrying the letter with her in case she decide to do so. During that week, the couple had practically lived together, constantly her in Draco's house without separating for an instant, making up for lost time.

That morning they were both preparing to attend Hogwarts once more. In a bit of a hurry—since they had once again lost track of time under the covers making love nonstop—, they finished preparing while sipping their respective coffees.

"You have to let me breathe, rest. We can't spend our afternoons in bed,  naked." Annelisse said and took a drink from the coffee she was carrying in her hand as she walked around the house, picking up her things.

Draco, watching her amusedly laughed approaching her "I find it a great plan. I would cancel going to Hogwarts and without a doubt, I would drag you back to my bed." He smirked.

Annelisse finished her coffee and put it on the table. Still laughing at his words, she leaned closer to Draco "The idea sounds really tempting." She whispered close to his lips, still smiling "But we have to go." She placed a quick kiss on his lips and broke away.

Draco quickly wrapped his arms around her waist, catching her and pulling Annelisse closer to him again "I know." He smiled "Although, we could also relive certain moments there." He teased her.

"Draco Malfoy, are you suggesting to  have sex at Hogwarts?" She raised an eyebrow in amusement.

"That is exactly what I am suggesting. I still remember that wonderful detention when you came to see me."

"Oh, my God." She giggled, Draco enjoying her laugh, adoring it completely "We almost got caught." She circled Draco's neck, happy at the memory of it.

"Your wildest moment." He replied, moving slightly his head.

"God, it's true. I became addicted to sex, because of you."

"I'm not going to lie, one of the best things I've ever done." He rolled his eyes in amusement, eliciting another laugh from Annelisse. He planted one last kiss on her lips "Come on, before I decide to change my mind and I really lock you up in my room."

Annelisse giggled again, provoking once again to make Draco smile at the sight. He adored seeing her laughing and not talking about how much he had missed it.

After gathering the whole group of friends, they apparated in the Hogwarts Bridge at the appointed time that day. They gazed in wonder at those lands after many years without setting foot on them.

They walked along the great stone Bridge, observing in the distance the castle—which continued as usual, as if time had not passed for none of them.

"Do you think they will all come?" Pansy asked, who was walking next to Blaise with his arm around her.

"I hope so." Mittie, who was with Albert, answered.

"Longbottom is teaching here." Draco commented, catching everyone's attention.

"Seriously?" Annelisse asked in surprise, looking at him.

"He's been around for a few years now. He quit the ministry and teach classes here." He explained as he shrugged.

"Professor Longbottom, I have to see that with my eyes." Blaise joked, causing a little laugh from everyone.

The group of friends reached the entrance to Hogwarts moments later. They saw in the distance a figure very familiar to them—who was watching them with a clear smile on her face. They—happy, approached the professor to receive her after not seeing her for so long.

"How wonderful to see you all again." Professor McGonagall smiled at all of them, noting how much they had grown and changed.

Everyone gave the teacher a hug, greeting her with joy, cheerfully.

"You are the same, professor." Blaise joked.

"And I see that you are still as funny as always, Zabini." She responded to the joke, everyone laughing at it "I'm glad you came. The rest are in the Great Hall, you can join them." She pointed with the hand into the castle "There, Longbottom will explain later what you will do."

Saying goodbye to everyone with a smile, the group entered the castle, watching it again in wonder.

Draco, who was putting his arm around Annelisse, looked at her face—who was wearing a happy face "It's exactly the same, it's incredible." She commented and turned her face to Draco.

"I know, seems incredible that almost ten years have passed." He gave a little laugh.

They all entered the Great Hall, discovering the rest of their classmates already seated, over the months, talking to each other.

Everyone had attended that day. Draco, Pansy, and Blaise quickly ran into former colleagues, some they had never seen again, because of their different paths in life, and others who worked with them in the Ministry. Even Daphne, although she remained away — still needing time.

Even Annelisse greeted some. As Draco's last year used to be spent in the Slytherin common room, she made a lot of friends that she saw again that day.

All that Hogwarts students greeted each other, grateful to see each other again— no longer feeling differences between them, they were no longer children. They all sat at the table, talking between them, remembering past anecdotes while enjoying that unique moment.

The Golden Trio even spoke to Draco and Annelisse, whom they greeted with joy upon meeting her again. During a short period —when she worked years ago in the ministry—, she became quite close friends with the trio, who were also very supportive to Draco after the death of his father.

There was no longer any hatred between anyone, no competitions. They were just a group of former students with a very special past in common: Hogwarts.

"Well, well!" Longbottom clapped his hands, catching everyone's attention in the Great Hall.

Everyone was quickly surprised to see Neville. Changed, even more attractive than ever. Whistles, compliments echoed through the Great Hall and he greeted them with a shy smile.

"Enough of jokes. Let's get serious for once." He added aloud "Today you have the castle at your disposal. You have free access to all this, but." He raised his hand "Don't make any mischiefs, I know you. Everyone. It goes for you too, Malfoy." He pointed it out.

Draco laughed and Annelisse right next to him did the same.

"Are you going to take points from me, Longbottom?" Draco answered aloud.

"Don't tempt me." Neville said, provoking everyone to laugh. He clapped his hands together again and turned his attention to the rest "Day off at Hogwarts, guys. Enjoy it!"
