• "im a death eater"

•dracos pov•

we had finished the antidote the previous week and it worked, i no longer got outrageous urges to want to kiss pansy.

something bothered me though, would i rather her find out about my secret through me or potter and his cult- i mean friends.

i'm just scared she'll never forgive me.

i mean, who would want to be with a disgusting death eater?!

i think i'll tell her, she deserves to know. yes it might ruin my chances with her but i'd rather her know.

i write a note for her to meet me on the astronomy tower after curfew that night and head to classes.

••••••••••••

"hi" i hear y/n's voice say. "hey , can you sit down.. it'll be a good idea trust me" i say. she gives me a worried look and sits down beside me on the ledge.

she grabs my hand. "is everything okay?"

"no it's not y/n"

she stares at me and tears up.

"i'm just going to get straight to the point, there's no point in beating around the bush here."

tears start running down both our faces.

"i'm so sorry y/n, i'm a death eater"

"what no you can't be draco tell me it's a joke please!" she screams crying more than ever.

i reach towards my sleeve to show her the dark mark but she stops me.

"d-did you want this?" she asks. "no, no i didn't i wanted anything but. please listen to me when i say this, i had to. or else he threatened to kill you.."

"i thought he only threatened people you care ab- yo- your care about me?"

i didn't want this to come up...

"yes, yes i do care about you. so so so fucking much you don't understand"

she stares at me.

i stare back.

fuck it.

i cup her face and kiss her, her lips matching perfectly with mine as if we were two pieces of a jigsaw begging for be finished. i wrap my arms round her waist and hers round my neck.

after two minutes we pull apart. her cheeks bright red with blush. "i'm sorry, i-" she cuts me off. "it's okay i promise, draco. even though your a a- death eater i still cant help but feel something for you"

"like what?"

"like, i love you-"

"oh my god i'm so stupid i shouldnt have just told you that!" she yells running away.

she loves me.....

•y/n pov•

i run back to my common room then into my dorm to think about what i have just been told and experienced.

number one- draco is a death eater. not by choice, but force.

number two- he kissed me! it was sweet, yet passionate. made my stomach fill with butterflies.

number three- i admitted i love him.

"y/n where were you?" ginny asks walking in. "i was on the astronomy tower.. with draco" her eyes widen "did you-" "NO GINNY! you dirty minded girl my lord-"

we burst into fits of laughter.

no matter how much i want to tell her about draco, i can't. that's private information he's trusted me with.

i would'nt betray him like that.

•••••••••••••••

the following morning i head down into the great hall with a lack of appetite, i couldn't eat knowing draco had been marked and branded by voldemort.

i look over at the slytherin table and see him playing with his fork in his plate, moving about the food on it.

he looks up and locks eyes with me, within a few seconds however, he looks back down.

was he embarrassed he kissed me?

i also noticed that even though it was roasting, he had long sleeves on. obviously to cover the dark mark on is left arm.

i cant help but think of the pain it caused him.

did voldemort do anything else to him?

i headed to class which was defence against the dark arts, with umbridge again.

every time i've had her class she's punished me in one way or another. it's getting out of hand, usually her favourite is crucio or imperio but we will see what happens today.

i walk in and sit in my usual seat, "miss bathgate did you do the essay?"

"you didn't give us an essay-" i was cut of by a slap to the right cheek on my face.

at that moment draco walks into the class and his eyes widen, usually he skips dada because of umbridge but the one time he comes, he sees the abuse she puts me through.

"what did you just do to her?" he yells.

umbridge spins round, "dear boy she deserves it."

"for what- not doing an essay you never even assigned?"

umbridge didn't know what to reply so instead decided to take it out on draco by using her favourite curse- crucio

his body seizes and shakes uncontrollably with his screams filling the air. my breath hitches in my throat and i run over to cradle his shaking body to try comfort him.

"draco your going to be okay i promise!" i say, wiping a tear falling from his cheek. not realising tears were falling from my eyes.

"y/n go- i'll- i'll be okay" he stutters out. "what no i'm staying next to you" he shakes his head as best as he can "be-behind you"

i turn my head and umbridge has her wand pointed at me but before she can do anything, i disarm her and send her flying. the curse is lifted of draco as i do so and his body falls into my arms yet again.

"i'm so sorry y/n i'm a fucking worthless coward" he screams into my lap. "don't dare say that draco

malfoy! you are the best person i know. stay strong for me..."

he hugs me and we stay sitting on the floor, for god knows how long.

•••••••••••••••

later that night i sneak into the slytherin common room yet again to check on him, when i walk in he's cradling his legs on the sofa in front of the flames radiating from the fireplace.

"how you doing?" i ask, "okay, i'm sorry y/n. your too good to me i don't deserve you." he says.

i hug him and we sit in each other's embrace in a comfortable silence until we slowly fall asleep.

word count- 1114

a/n-
this is going to be one of the last chapters of year 5 (order of the phoenix), next will be year 6 (half blood prince) where draco has to do his task from voldemort and has to flee. hope you are all enjoying this!
