"Hello?  Y/n?" Draco calls into the Room of Requirement.  "Y/n?  Are you here?"

"Draco!" you shout back.  "I thought you weren't coming!  I'm over here."

You watch as Draco rushes around the corner among all the junk piled high in the Come and Go Room.  He picks you up by the waist and twirls you around a few times, causing you to laugh.  He sets you down gently and pulls you tightly against his body, giving your lips a gentle peck.

"How are you, baby?" he asks.  You shrug and tilt your head back and forth a bit.

"It was okay.  I only got an Acceptable on my charms paper.  Professor Flitwick said it was nearly an Exceeds Expectations but I made too many grammatical errors.  I'm much better now that the day's over and I can have some time with you...." you sigh.  "I wish we could spend more time together...  It's such a shame your father wouldn't like it if he knew."

"I wish I could spend more time with you, too y/n.  You make me so happy...  It's my fault that I can't do that.  I'm too scared of Father.  He get's angry easily and it's not pretty.  I do wish we could go public.  I could show everyone how much you mean to me!" he chuckles, giving your neck some gentle kisses.

"Draco...!" you laugh.  "That tickles!"

"I don't understand why Father doesn't like you, y/n.  You're a pureblood, after all.  Your family had high stature in the wizarding world...  I don't get it..."

"Draco," you say, shaking your head at his forgetfulness.  "Your father hates mine.  They had a feud a few years back.  They've been enemies ever since.  It was so bad your father won't speak mine's name!"

"Oh, right... That...," Draco says, dragging you over to a couch nearby and sitting down and putting you in his lap.  "How I wish it was different, y/n.  You're my everything.  It hurts me every day that I can't be with you more, Princess...."

"It pains me, too, Draco...." you reply, cuddling his head in your arms, running your fingers through his hair.   "If we stopped hiding from the world, that would be amazing."

"Y/n?"

"Hmmm?"

"I love you..."

"I love you, too."

~~~~~

"Y/n!" Draco says, running into the Room of Requirement the next day. He leans over to catch his breath against a cabinet.  You walk over to him and wrap your arms around him.

"What is it Draco?  Why are you so out of breath?"

"I ran here, y/n.  I wanted to tell you something!" he gasps.

"Okay...  What is it?" you ask, curious as to what he's talking about.

"I'm done hiding!" he exclaims.  

"What?" you almost shout.  "What do you mean?"

"I'm done hiding from my father!  He can't control me!  I'm a Malfoy godammit and I have a beautiful, smart girlfriend who needs to be out in the world with me!  We don't have to stay in the shadows anymore, y/n!  I'm done with standing by and letting my dad control my love life!  I love you, y/n, more than I can possibly say!  You're my princess, my diamond in the rough! Nothing in the entire world means more to me!  I was a coward.  I didn't want to face him and whatever sort of backlash he can throw my way, but I'm finished!  I sent him a letter and told him that we've been dating for a long time without his knowledge.  I told him I didn't give a shit! and that nothing can stop me from loving you!" he gasps.  He grabs your hands.  "Y/n!  Please go public with me!    I want to spend every second I can with you!"

"Oh my god!  Yes, Draco!" you cry, throwing yourself at him.  "Let's go!"

You two run arm in arms out of the Room of Requirement and down to dinner in the Great Hall.  You rush through the doorway and watch as people turn their heads.  They start to whisper about you, questioning what's going on.  You laugh once again.  They don't matter one tiny bit.  All that you care about now is Draco.

~~~~~

You're sitting at the breakfast table and you look over to Draco and smile.  He's eating a bowl of porridge and reading his potions book in preparation for a brewing class today during a double period.  Above, you start to hear the rustle of feathers and the squawk of about two hundred owls.  The birds all flood in and one, dropping packages throughout the room.  One, an eagle owl, flies above Draco and drops him a bright red envelope.  He looks down in horror.  You look over at him his eyes are fear-stricken.  A howler.  After a moment of silent gulping, you nod to him and mouth "open it".  he picks it up as some of the surrounding Students start to laugh.  You shoot them a nasty look and they all shut up.  As he opens it up, it floats right in front of his face anD closes in on him.  It starts to scream with the voice of his father.

"DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY!  HOW DARE YOU EVER SEND ME SUCH A LETTER!  HOW DARE YOU DATE THE Y/L/N GIRL!  AFTER ALL THE TALKS ABOUT WHAT NOT TO DO YOUR MOTHER AND I HAVE GIVEN YOU THROUGHOUT THE YEARS I NEVER THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD OPENLY DEFY US LIKE THIS!  YOUR ACTIONS ARE A DISGRACE TO THE MALFOY NAME!  OPENLY BETRAYING YOUR FAMILY IN SUCH A MANOR IS AN ALMOST UNFORGIVABLE DEED! THE SON I RAISED WAS MUCH MORE DISCIPLINED THAN THIS AND HAD RESPECT FOR HIS FATHER!  SHE DID THIS TO YOU!  THAT GIRL IS THE CAUSE OF THIS! THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WARNING YOU ABOUT!  HER FAMILY IS DANGEROUS! SHE IS A DISGRACE TO THE NAME OF WIZARD  AND A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A GIRLFRIEND!  WITHOUT HER, YOU WOULDN'T BE SLIPPING ON YOUR ASSIGNMENTS AND YOU WOULD NOT HAVE SUCH POOR JUDGEMENT!  IF YOU EXPECT TO STAY IN THIS FAMILY, YOU WILL CUT OFF ALL TIES WITH HER IMMEDIATELY OR FOREVER BE SHUNNED FROM THE MALFOY FAMILY FOREVER!  YOU HAVE TWENTY FOUR HOURS TO MAKE YOUR DECISION!" 

The letter growls and then rips itself up. You and Draco stare down in horror at the flakes of paper that had once been the howler.  You get up and go wand wrap your arms around him from behind.  He raises his hands up and take one of your in his,  gently stroking it with his thumb.

"Are you alright, Draco?" you ask softly.

"Of course, y/n.  I'm fine," he replies a bit blankly.

"I'm available whenever you want to tell me your choice, Draco," you say, releasing yourself from his grasp.

"Choice, y/n?" he says, turning to you.

"Between me and your family," you respond with a heavy heart.

"Isn't it obvious, y/n?"

You shake your head.

"I choose you."
