After the war, I swore to myself that something like that would never happen after I saw everything go down.
I became an auror. I couldn't let everything evil just slip by me. That was too much to hold in me.
I just couldn't let people who had the thought process like that to kill everyone in their way.
But that's why I am doing what I'm doing.
I had gotten a new assignment to track and capture a man and a woman. But I didn't know the mission would have to be with.... him....
I sat in the MPDR or the missions planning and development room.
I sat back as my boss explained a little about them so I had something to plan on how to catch them.
"Dale Carter and Kaitie Dennon. Two super super stealthy death eaters. They have been spotted killing a couple of young adult males. Last seen in the middle of hogsmeade and escaped through knockturn alley."
I nodded as I processed the information.
"This mission will be dangerous. Four people have died since they've been spotted last and we have reason to believe they did it."
I wrote down and drew out a plan.
"And because this is so dangerous... you're gonna have a parter."
I stopped abruptly and looked up at him.
"A What?" I asked angrily.
"A partner. You won't be able to do this alone."
"You know I don't do... 'partners'. You know when I signed up I told you that I'd never work with anyone else!"
"I know but I can't trust you to do it alone and make it home in one piece!" He shouted.
"I can't trust anyone other then myself!!" I shouted back as I slammed my hands on the table and stood up.
"You trust me, don't you?"
I sighed.
"Fine. But don't think I trust trust you. I morally trust you, there's a difference." I said as I sat down.
He raised his hands in surrender and the door opened.
"Ah! Draco! Nice to see you."
Oh helllll no! You can not say that this is my partner.
"Y/n. This is your partner for the trip."
I stood up and put my hands on my head.
"No way." I said looking at my boss.
"Yes way. Draco knows the tactics of death eaters."
"You know why??! Because he IS one! Are you shitting me?? No way!" I protested.
"Y/n please."
My boss said looking me in the eyes.
I looked over at Draco and he half smiled.
"Fine! But if I die! I'm haunting your ass!" I said to my boss.
"Deal." He laughed.
My boss walked out and it was just Draco and I.
"I still don't like you." I said to him, breaking the silence.
"Angry as ever are we, l/n?"
"Self absorbed and prickish as ever are we, Malfoy?" I retorted.
"Hey. I didn't force you to join me in this hunt."
"Yeah my idiot boss did."
"You love me and you know it."
I said nothing but flipped him off. He pushed my bird down and huffed.
"Sweetie sweetie sweetie. You are but a young one. I have so much to teach you."
I rolled his arm backward and held him in a chokehold.
"Call me sweetie again and I'll remove your head from your shoulders." I growled in his ears.
I let him go and walked out of the room. I heard a whimpered "ow." Come from him and I felt proud of myself.

The next two days were preparation for the hunt, Draco and I had trained and used weapons for practice.
"Okay, I need to know you can punch." Draco stood his ground and held out his hand.
"Now, I want you to use the little bit of energy you have in that body of yours and punch as hard as those little hands can, got it?"
Anger burned inside of me and I punched right into his hand.
He screamed like a girl and collapsed to the ground holding his hand.
"She's paralysed me! She's assaulted me!!"
I rolled my eyes and stood him on his feet by picking him up by his collar.
He huffed and puffed as he massaged his bruised hand.
"Okay.... well.... at least you can punch." I titled my head in content and walked away.
As I walked off Draco continued to run his hand groan in pain.

It had been two days and we were camping in the woods.
It was late at night and I couldn't sleep. I listened to the crickets and then I rolled over.
I saw Draco laying on the hammock.
He moved and I whispered "can't sleep?"
He sighed and turned to me, who was laying on the floor.
"No."
"Why not?" I asked
He was silent and then said "can I trust you with a secret?"
"Sure." I said sarcastically.
He was quiet and then said "Astoria left me. She just told me she was pregnant two days ago."
My heart sunk and I looked in the dark corner for something to say.
"I'm sorry." I croaked out.
"It's just... complicated."
"Whyd she leave you?" I asked as I turned to him.
"We just argued all the time. She just got fed up with it and she left. I didn't even know it. I came home and all of her stuff was gone."
"Wow." I said shocked.
"Yeah." He agreed.
I heard a sniffle.
"Are you crying?" I ask half trying to get an answer.
"Maybe." He gave in.
I heaved a reluctant breath and sat up.
"Come here." I say.
He sat up and looked at me in the dim candlelight.
He got up and sat down next to me. I leaned my head on his shoulder lightly.
"I'm not the best with affection but I know it helps people so..." I tried.
He leaned his head on mine.
"I think it's working perfectly fine." He smirked.
I soon got uncomfortable when he tried to hug me more.
I scooted away and cleared my throat.
"Why you gotta be so weird snake boy?" I defended.
"Snake boy? I haven't been called that since before then end of seventh year." He chuckled.
"Yeah well maybe you should be reminded who you really are snake boy!"
"Well this snake boy will always be more attractive then you, four eyes."
"Hey! I had glasses for one week!"
"Yeah and you looked weird!"
Stupid contacts. Why did I have to loose them? I knew he'd still remember.
"I had no choice!" I defended.
"Just like I had no choice on my name, or my house!"
"Whatever snake boy." I laughed.
He hit my shoulder and I smiled as he tried to attack me.
"I'm sorry I was such an asshole." He said.
"Well... yeah.." I agreed.
He looked at me waiting.
"What?" I asked.
"Aren't you gonna something?" He prodded.
"What do you mean?" I laugh.
"Ya know... like 'I'm sorry for being a bitch'."
"I was not a bitch!"
"Yes you were!"
"No no no. Let's get this straight! I was not a bitch, you were just a little bitch and couldn't handle the fact that I beat you in everything."
His jaw dropped and he chuckled.
"You're gonna get it now!" He said chasing me with his wand.
I laughed and ran outside of the tent.
He caught up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist to hold me down to him.
"Say you're sorry." He threatened jokingly as he held his wand to my throat.
"No. Never!" I strained.
"Say it!"
"Okay okay! I'm sorry!"
He let me go and I continued "I'm sorry you're a little bitch."
I laughed and ran back into the tent.
He threw open the sheet door and looked around.
"Where are you? Come out come out! Snake boy wants to find you!" He called.
I giggled as I jumped on his back.
I put my hands over his eyes and he spun around.
"Get off of me you weirdo!"
I got off and looked at him.
"You're so annoying!" He said poking me in the stomach.
I laughed and climbed in the hammock.
"Hey that's my spot!" He protested.
"Not anymore!" I sneered.
"Get of there!"
"Nope!"
"I'm gonna count down from three! Three.... two...."
"One!" I said and flipped him off.
"What is it with your middle finger and me?!"
I cackled and got up.
"Are you high or something??!" He laughed as I walked around like an idiot.
"No... I'm just really tired." I said as I inhaled from laughing.
"Go to sleep." He said.
I pouted and walked to my sleeping bag.
I closed my eyes and felt myself drift off.

Draco's pov
I looked down at her as she lay asleep.
I couldn't help but feel just a little bit of regret for making her sleep in the floor. I got up from the hammock and bent down to pick her up.
He head laid on my chest as I carried her to the hammock. She hummed and nuzzled into my neck.
It sent shivers up my spine.
I hadn't felt anything like this since Astoria left. My heart yearned for it again and once I felt it it was nice.
But not with her. I hated her until an hour ago.
And she probably still hates me.
I can't be in love with her.
At least not right now.
I set her down but she wouldn't let go of me.
I sighed as I thought of what to do.
I pulled out my wand and turned the hammock into a bigger bed.
I laid her down and got in next to her.
Is this wrong? Is it bad that I'm sleeping next to my former enemy? That my wife left me a month ago and I'm already sleeping with someone else? I guess it's not like I'm having sex with her but still.... is it wrong?
She stirred in her sleep and I smiled.
She was cute like this. All peaceful. Yes her angry fired up side is so adorable but I don't know, this is nice.
I leaned in and kissed her forehead lightly.
"Sleep tight. We will find our hunt in the morning. I know you'll kick ass tomorrow. You always do."
