An impossible marriage

The Room of Secrets

Draco's pov:
I woke up with my arms still wrapped around her. She was sleeping so peacefully but all I could think about is him. The one that had me wrapped around his finger only because I had a family, someone that I love. Thoughts rushed trough my head but they suddenly stopped focusing on only one thought. What if Voldemort came back and took her? He can't come back it is impossible. Harry destroyed him. As much as I hated Harry, he has all my respect for everything he did that I couldn't do.
My train of thoughts we're interrupted by Bella slowly opening her eyes.
-Malfoy? She looked truly confused.
-Yes Black, it's still me.
After that she just crashed right back to sleep.
I unwrapped my hands from her waist long before she woke up. I didn't want her to know that I care about her. I knew we we're going to get married either way but it would be dangerous for us to actually fall in love.
I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to shower and get ready. As I walked out of the bathroom, I saw her still sleeping so took my books and rushed to the great Hall.
I went to my houses table and placed myself next to Blaise and Theo. There was something about Theo that was suspicious since he came back at school this year. He always looked like he was plotting something. I never thought of him as a death eater, which he never was. On the other side I couldn't say the same for me. Even if all of that is in the past there will always be those 2 seconds out of the day that remind me of the darkness that once sat inside me. But Theo wasn't suspicious in a dark way, he just seemed a little too lost in his thoughts.
-Draco! Dracooo.. hello! Blaise snapped his fingers at my face which made me snap out of my suspicions.
-Well good morning to you as well. I said in a sarcastic tone.
-Morning, what we're you thinking of that deeply?
-It's nothing, I'm just a little bit tired. Didn't get that much sleep last night.
-Ohhhh I get it! I see you and miss Black had started practicing already-
I accidentally spilled his tea on his lap which made him lose the sentence between his teeth.
Before he could've said anything he was once more interrupted by Headmistress MacGonagall .
-Everyone please pay attention! Today as you all know we are going to visit Hogsmade. After you are done finishing you breakfast, please go to your room and pickup your necessities in order to leave. At 12 a'clock we are leaving with or without all students.
Bella's POV:
I woke up with a burning headache that immediately had gone worst when I saw the clock was pointed at 11 A.M which meant we have to be leaving for Hogsmade in one hour and I haven't even eaten. I didn't feel able to go so I just tumbled to the shower. Since I saw that Draco wasn't here I thought he already got his stuff and is just staying in the Slytherin common room.
I wrapped a towel around my body and opened the bathroom door only to see Draco standing in the bedroom picking up his things. He turned around and his lips immediately formed into a large smirk.
-Black I see you are awake and well.
-Well not because of you since you decided not to wake me up even if you knew it was Hogsmade day.
-Believe me , you we're in no condition to be woken up. You still have time so you're coming, right?
-No, I'm not. I don't feel that well.
-Fine then see you after. As he finished his sentence he rushed to the door and made his way out.
I quickly changed into some black sweats and a black crop. As I laid down on the bed I could feel the memories coming back, flooding through my mind and battling to form.
Did I ask Draco Malfoy to kiss me? A terrified look appeared on my face.
I slowly walked to the window. I was observing every bit of the surroundings, when I moved my eyes to the entry, I saw something strange or maybe something that just seemed strange.
For a moment I thought I have seen Albus Dumbledore. Bits of memories flashed through my head.
As Voldemort walked down the bridge to Hogwarts in a victorious step with Harry's "dead" body in his arms my eyes immediately recognized Malfoy standing across me and smiling but smiling with fear. His eyes we're giving him away. He never wanted to be there. He never wanted to be there by the dark side.
But still since then my eyes could never meet his and not flash the event that marked him as my enemy.
My daydreaming stopped when I heard a loud knock at the door. I stepped out of the room and opened the door a little disturbed.
-Theo? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at Hogsmade?
-I didn't feel like going. I wanna show you something.
-We are not supposed to be wondering around the halls when the teacher's are gone. But then it hit me, the teachers we're gone!
-Come on Black! I thought you weren't such a scaredy-cat . He said in a teasing tone which made me fall right into a smile.
-Oh shut it Theo! I got out of the apartment as I turned around one last time before going to whatever place Theo wanted to take me, I heard a snake. I understood him. He was speaking in English but I knew it was a snake.
-Hellooo Bella?? What are you doing? Let's go!
I shooked my head and followed Theo to a large painting of an old women that looked directly into my eyes which gave me the impression that she knew everything about everyone but especially me.
-Secret Keeper! Theo pronounced very clearly. The door slowly opened and I looked over at him only to discover a charming smile which made me blush.
I turned my head to see a room with only a couch in the middle and lots of paintings surrounding us. Paintings of keys, not the same ones. All of them different.
-Theo, what is this?
- This is the Room of Secrets!
