Peppermint (DM smut love story)

46

YOU ALL HEAD DOWN A FAMILIAR corridor on the seventh floor, with Goyle leading the way.

"The requirement room? Are you sure?" Draco asks. He seemed hesitant, not that you could blame him. You had both spent most of the last school year in there, so if it was there wouldn't you would have come across it at some point? Then again, it was the room of requirement, anything can be hidden in there.

"Yes! I overheard Looney Lovegood telling Potter about it." Goyle responds.

"Luna? She's here? Is she okay?" You ask, frantically. You had never found out what happened to her after she had escaped from the manor with Ollivander.

"How the fuck would I know how she is?" He retorts. Goyle seemed different now. You, Draco and Blaise were doing this because you had no choice. But, he seemed like he was enjoying being a part of it. You put it down to naivety, after all he has never had to witness the things you three have.

"Shut your fucking mouth, Goyle. Don't talk to her like that." Draco defends you, you look to him but his eyes don't leave the back of Goyle's head as he follows him to the room of requirement.

You look to Blaise, squinting your eyes and shaking your head, signalling to Goyle. You wanted to know what was up with him. Blaise raises his hand and swipes it across his neck, signalling for you to drop the subject. You just give him a confused look. What was going on?

You reach a familiar spot on the wall of the seventh floor. Everyone stands back and Draco paces back and forth until the doors appear.

"Bec, Lux, you both wait here."

"What?! Draco," you move closer to him and lower your voice, "you said you wouldn't leave my side." He clenches his jaw, looking to Blaise who just shrugs his shoulders.

"Look, Malfoy, you can moan all you like. But we're coming." Lux stands beside you.

"Yeah! You're not leaving us out in the hall like a pair of tossers." You draw your wand and face the doors. "Anyway, I promised I'd get your wand back, right?"

He walks behind you, standing close as he places his hand on your hip, bending down to whisper in your ear. "You stubborn little bitch." You can hear the humour in his tone, causing you to smirk. You turn your face to look at him as he plants a quick kiss on your lips. "Be fucking careful. I mean it." You nod your head.

Goyle opens the doors and you all quietly slip in, beginning to make your way through the many towers of miscellaneous items. You round a corner of highly stacked mirrors, to find Potter, alone. He was looking at something in a box.

"Well, well." Draco raises his wand, directing it at Potter. You're just to his left, Goyle on his right. He was followed by Blaise, and Lux was behind you. "What brings you here, Potter?"

"I could ask you the same." He drops whatever he was looking at.

"You have something of mine... I'd like it back."

"What's wrong with the one you have?" Potter points to Draco's wand.

"It's my mother's. It's powerful, but it's... not the same. Doesn't quite... understand me, know what I mean?"

You all had your wands raised at Potter, but he stood, hands at his side, defenceless. He didn't look even slightly intimidated.

"Why didn't you tell her?" Potter asks Draco. You can see Draco shift his weight uncomfortably, neither of you had told anyone of how you helped the trio escape Malfoy Manor. They wouldn't have understood. Potter continues. "Bellatrix... you knew it was me. You didn't say anything... either of you."
