Orion's P.O.V.

Charlotte is an amazing girl. I cannot imagine what would've happened if I never became friends with her.

I probably would've ended up like my father. That my friends, is a scary thought.

Today, Charlotte has been hiding in the library studying away. Once in a while I check up on her to make sure she's ok.

Being paranoid, I'm not very happy with that David guy walking around the school. He has been flirtatious with Charles, and it ticks me off.

But, I know that Charlotte doesn't like him, so I trust her.

Now, it's night and everyone is in the Great Hall eating dinner.

Everyone except for Charlotte.

...

And Karen.

...

And Damien.

Something seems off.

I stood up from my table, and started to walk out the door.

With Karen, and Damien are about the castle while Charlotte is, it's spelling out 'TROUBLE.'

As I walk pass the courtyard where across the bridge is the Forbidden Forest; I see a couple of shadows slowly dragging into the Forest.

Those Bloody Gits...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Charlotte's P.O.V.

As Damien was dragging me across the bridge, someone called out to him.

"About time you got here!" I hear Karen's voice say to Damien.

"How about you shut it," He says as he stops, "I'm the one doing all the bloody work here. How bout you do the rest, and drag her into the Forest?!"

Karen rolls her eyes, and looks down at me with a sly smirk, "Told you I'd take revenge."

The two then starts to drag me deep into the forest.

Ugh! When I get unfrozen, I swear I'll punch Karen in the face. Damien will get another kick in the groin, and a knee in the nose.

We then suddenly stopped in an open field inside the forest.

"Let's leave her here like the orphan she is." Karen says with a flip of the hair.

"You got your end of the deal then. Now it's my turn to have fun with her." Damien says while starting to unbutton his shirt.

Oh please no!

"Get the hell away from her!" I hear someone yell, and the crunch of leaves.

Then, I hear a crunch of breaking bones.

Orion punches Damien dead on in the nose.

He then, uses his wand to unfreeze me.

I let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Then, I set my focus on Karen.

"So, do you want me to take it easy and punch you in the ribs? Or the hard way, and punch you in the face? Either way, I'm going to be satisfied." I said storming my way over to her.

I picked up my wand that fell out of Damien's pocket, and point it right at her at the moment she points her wand towards me.

"Expelliarmius!" I shouted, and disarmed Karen.

Her wand flies into the air, and lands into the hand my wand was in.

I continued to advance towards her as she starts to cower away.

I raised my fist, and punched her straight in the face.

She holds her nose as she starts to cry.

"Hurts right?" I asked, but turned away not caring about hearing her answer.

Orion and Damien continued to fight thought.

Both of them looked bloody, and bruised.

It didn't take long for Orion to punch Damien out.

Damien blacked out across the field.

I let out a breath, and ran into Orion's arms.

He kept me close to his chests we continued to hug against each other.

"I was afraid that you wouldn't find me." I murmured as tears were threatening to spill out of my eyes.

"Shh. It's alright, I got you. No one will ever hurt you again. As long as I'm here, you're safe." He says creasing the back of my head.

A few moments later, Dumbledore and the rest of the teachers arrived.

Apparently, someone noticed Damien, and Karen dragging a body around so they called the teachers.

"Thanks to my SUPER AWESOME HERO SKILLZ!" Aimee announces as she runs in with Zoey, Wes, and Gale behind her.

In the moonlight, you can see her hair turning into a mix of yellow, and purple.

We all roll our eyes as her, and turned out focus on the teachers and the evil duo known as Karen and Damien.

The Teachers took the broken nose Karen, and the unconscious Damien away and to the Hospital Wing.

"Are you two alright?" Professor Dumbledore asks both me, and Orion.

"We are fine. What are you going to do with Karen, and Damien?" I asked as I watched them being sent away with Professor Snape, and Professor Sprout.

"Well, their parents will be notified by their actions here, and will be expelled. You two will be put at ease once and for all." He answers in his cool expression.

"Thank you Professor." Orion says as he puts his arm over my shoulder.

Dumbledore nods his head, and walks off with the other teachers.

"Orion you look like a Dragon came by, and bit you in the face." Gale says while observing his friends bruises.

"I'm fine." He says.

But, as soon as he says that he winces at the slight of pain in his ribs.

I roll my eyes, and took out my wand, "You are such a manly man. Episkey."

After a few cries coming out of Orion, he looks as good as new. Sort of.

"Thank you Charles." Orion says softly as he kisses my lips.

I let out a giggle, "No problem Olga."

"Ew! Get a room you two!" Aimee and Gale yells as they shield their faces away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So,fast forward to the end of the year.

Everyone got over the whole 'scandal' between Karen, Damien, Orion, and I so it seems a little bit quiet.

Orion and I are still as strong as ever, so there was never a dull moment.

Yes, we did sometimes fight over the littlest things but its fun arguing with him a little.

Surprisingly, even some of our friends started to date. Gale and Aimee are pretty happy with each other, and so is Zoey and Wesley.

During Christmas, you should've seen Lucius' reaction when he found out and me and his son are dating. It was hilarious! Narcissa and Draco was pretty happy about me, and Orion. Well, Draco seemed happy about a lot of things since he's only 2 years old. But, whatever.

Now, here's the toughest part. Hogwarts is my home. I've always loved coming here for the past 7 years, and cherishing the moments I have with the people I've grown up with. But, once I walk out of the castle; I can't come back next year.

I'm going to miss it.

"You ok Char?" Orion asks as he squeezes my hand.

I looked at him with a small smile, "Yea. I'm alright."

He gives me a slight frown, and kisses the top of my head, "Time to take a step into our new lives."

I nod my head in agreement as we stepped into the train.

We sat in our compartment with everyone else.

We chatted, and now planning to see each other as much as we can.

"Gale, and I will be traveling but we won't forget to write to you all. Hopefully, you'll join us once we take a short break in London." Aimee says as she takes another bite into a cookie.

Zoey lets out a small laugh, "That'll be wicked. I'll be with Wesley, and his family for the summer. Then, I'm hoping to get a job in the Daily Prophet."

I then smiled at Zoey, "Great. Can't wait to read your articles Zoey."

We continued to talk until we arrived into Kings Cross Station.

All of us grabbed our bags, and went our separate ways. This isn't the last time we're going to meet. I'm sure that next time we'll all see each other again, we'll be traveling with Gale and Aimee. Wouldn't that be fun?

Orion and I traveled back into Malfoy Manor in a cinch.

"Phew! I am exhausted! Apparating can really take the breath out of you," I said lifting up my luggage, "I'm going to my room and sleep. Are you coming along?"

Orion then shakes his head, "I'll be right there. Just need to do an errand."

I nod my head, "Alright. See you in a little bit."

I walked up the stairs greeting a few house elves here and there.

"Dobby will open that for Charlotte Potter." I hear a familiar voice say as my door slid open.

"Thank you Dobby. It's wonderful to see you again." I said walking into my bedroom.

"Dobby is happy to see Charlotte Potter again as well." He says outside my door.

I placed my luggage onto the couch, and turned my way towards Dobby, "Thank you Dobby. I'm going to sleep now, so I'll talk to you later. Ok?"

"Dobby will talk to Charlotte Potter later. Goodnight." He says closing my door.

I grinned at Dobby. He is my favorite out of all of the House Elves here.

I plopped onto my bed without even changing, and fell asleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Orion's P.O.V.

I watch Charlotte walk up the stairs, and let out a sigh.

The more I think about Charlotte, the more I'm starting to get nervous.

I know that I shouldn't tell my father. But, I have to.

After a second or two of making up my mind, I made my way towards my dad's office.

His office door was black, and had a big golden snake head in the center of the door.

I knocked on the door three times before the snake hissed 'Enter.'

The door opens slowly to reveal my father sitting on his black leather chair behind the dark brown oak desk.

"Ah. Orion, you're here. Welcome home." He says as he stopped writing with his quill on a piece of parchment.

"Hi dad. Can we talk for a minute?" I asked walking by his bookshelf.

"I have a little bit of time. About what?" He asks while reading what he wrote.

"Well...it's about Charlotte." I began.

"Ahh yes. Your Halfblooded girlfriend. What about her?" He says sounding as if saying 'your' and 'girlfriend' in the same sentence sounds venomous.

I let out a sigh trying to calm myself down, "Well, as you know that she's special to me...."

"Which sometimes I question why." I hear him murmur under his breath.

I pursed my lips, "And I love her."

"Love is a strong word Orion." He says still reading his piece of parchment.

I let out another sigh, "I know. That's why I decided, that I'm going to move out of the Manor with Charlotte. And I'm going to ask her to marry me."

The moment I said that, he quickly turns his attention away from the paper, and towards me.

And let me tell you, he didn't look happy.

"Orion, I never knew you were a comedian." He says with a slight grin.

I frowned at him, and shook my head, "Father, I'm serious. I'm going to marry Charlotte Potter."

He stops grinning, and began to frown, "I forbid you."

"Why? Is there a problem with me wanting to marry her?" I asked in an angry tone.

"Because, you're going to marry a Pureblood witch. Not a Halfblood."

"Here we go again," I rolled my eyes, "I told you that I want to marry whoever I want to marry. Witch or muggle."

"I rather let it be a filthy muggle than Charlotte Potter. She's a disgrace to the Wizarding World!"

"Lucius!" I high pitched voice scolds my dad.

We both turned to see mum by the door with Draco in her arms fast asleep.

"Narcissa," he began but got cut off by her.

"Not another word. I am sorry but what you said about Charlotte is unforgivable." She says firmly.

"Mum..." I began.

"No need to speak Orion," she says softly looking at me, "You have permission to move out, and marry Charlotte. You just need to ask her."

I gave her a smile, and hugged her tightly, "Thank you Mum."

Should've asked her instead of my dad.

I then pat Draco on the head, and walked out of the office, and up the stairs.

Now, here comes the most difficult part I'm gonna have to face.

Asking.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Charlotte's P.O.V.

After an hour I woke up to the sound of knocking.

Rubbing my eyes, and stretching my arms and legs, I walked towards the door.

Opening the door revealed Orion with a grin, a plate of food and a glass of water.

Giving him a grin back I opened the door fully for him to enter, "You sure know how to win your way into a ladies heart."

He let out a laugh, and entered, "No. Just yours."

I laughed as I closed the door, and followed him towards the coffee table.

He sets the plate, and drink down, and moves my luggage off of the couch for he and I to sit on.

I sit right next to him as I picked up the plate and began to eat, "So Orion, any plans for the summer?"

"Umm...you can say that." He said nervously while twindling his fingers.

I looked at him confused, "What are you talking about?"

He became silent for a few minutes before turning his attention back to me, "We're moving out."

I blinked a couple of times, "Excuse me?"

"Charlotte. You, and I are moving out. I just asked my parents and they agreed."

I raised my eyebrow, "Lucius agreed?"

Orion then bobbed his head from side to side, "Not really. But, my Mum agreed, and that's good enough for me."

I let out a small laugh, "Alrighty then. But, where are we moving to?"

"I don't know. Anywhere you want to live; it's your choice."

I scrunched up my face at him, "Orion, now you're just confusing me. You said you and I are moving out, so wouldn't that mean that you get to decide where we're leaving?"

"No...well yes. But, there's a reason why I'm saying that you get to decide where to live." He mumbled while looking down at his lap.

"...Ok. Why?" I asked placing the plate onto the coffee table.

Suddenly, he embraced me into a tight hug.

"Orion?!" I asked surprised by his actions.

"I'msosorryI'mjustsoembarrassedbecauseIwantyoutomarrymebutI'mafraidthatyou'llsayno!" He said all to quickly for me to understand.

But, then I started to decipher his sentence.

'I'm so sorry. I'm just so embarrassed, because I want you to marry me, but I'm afraid that you'll say 'no.'

I looked into eyes, surprised.

He wants to marry me?

That's the most craziest thing I've ever heard of. I never thought anyone would ever ask me.

But, it just happened. Orion Malfoy just asked me.

I then realized...I love him. I love him enough to answer.

"Orion...I will." I said to him softly as I looked into his eyes.

His arms loosened, "You will?!" He asked anxiously.

I smiled widely at him, "Ofcourse I will silly!"

His face brightened with a smile, and he kissed me on the lips.

I smiled as I kissed him.

I feel extremely happy. More than I've ever felt in a long time.

And it's because of this guy that's infront of me.

I wouldn't trade him for the world.
