"What's your boggart?" Draco asked as he took a bite of a sweet candy from honey dukes, and lay relaxed in front of me.

"Spiders" I answered without any hesitation and sat in a crisscrossed position, my body hinting directly towards him with the grey cold blanket resting on my shoulders coolly.

He out a laugh, like a laugh - laugh. A laugh of disbelief. I wasn't shocked, as this was the reaction of every person.

"Spiders? Why spiders?" He asked with his palm covering his mouth as he chewed the sweet. 

"Well...in the orphanage I lived, there'd be spiders there and it just...it was absolutely terrifying..ya know...?" I answered and he fixed his posture.

"Oh," he answered.

"Yea me n To-" I came to a halt. There was no way I was going to mention Tom. He would ask to see him and he'd know this marriage was a setup.

"You and who?"

"Well this one guy, he passed away sadly, and my other friend Serena as you know.." I was going to continue, however.

He took another sweet, but I was intending to actually consume this one, and it was resting by my hand.

"Draco! I wanted that one!"

"You have a sweet tooth too?" He unwrapped the creamy candy.

"Yes-" and placed half of it between his soft lips.

"Well, I mean you can get half of it" he spoke placing his hands behind him, resting in a manner.

Oh, he was playing that game.

Fine then, I wouldn't back down either.

I moved closer, grasping his broad shoulder with my left hand, and with my free hand, I positioned it behind his neck and with my mouth grabbed the exposed half of the sweet.

It melted on my tongue revealing its delicious taste. As Draco's back crashed onto the bed.

I fell on top of him, the ends of my hair covering the bits of his face ever so slightly as his cheeks had turned a light shade of pink. I swallowed whatever was left and faced him, his hands holding my waist.

The blanket that rested on my shoulders, was now laid on my waist, and Draco slid it slowly onto my shoulders.

Quickly, repositioning himself he sat in a way that his head rested on his white pillow.

"So, what were you saying?" He asked, the pink shade had faded.

I was at a loss of words.

What was I even talking about?

"I don't remember anymore.." I genuinely didn't remember what I was going to say.

"Well, when you do you can tell me then. For now, I'm really tired and the blanket you have right now is the only clean one..so.."

"So?"

"We'll have to share it of course"

Excuses, excuses excuses.

Whatever.

"Fine, I really couldn't care less". I mean it's been almost two months and hints of my real personality were exposing themselves and I could say the same for Draco.

He had become bolder, and more confident. More vicious.

"Alright then if you don't care then we can sleep in the position we're already in." He replied, we locked eyes but this wasn't something I'd witnessed. It was strong and a feeling I could not describe exploded in me

It caused me to brush away, and I was the one to break the eye contact.

A few minutes had passed, with exchanging sloppy words when he became quiet. He had fallen asleep that quick.

I took this opportunity and just thought about it for a second.

Me and Draco snogging.

It's a rainy day.

His hair is soaked in water and his face is wet from the heavy raindrops.

He pulls me in closer-

Emerlyn, what are you thinking?

The more I thought about it the deeper of a hole I fell into. Like a trap, I was setting myself up for. I didn't realize it earlier but my hand lay on Draco's chest. I could feel his heartbeat. I placed my head on the crook of his neck and my eyelids shut.

- - - - - - - -

"So, who's our next target?" questioned Tom, as my back faced him.

Since I had killed Lestrange already killing his wife would seem reasonable.

However.

There was something about Bellatrix that didn't stick right. Something about her was wrong and before I ended her, I'd have to figure it out.

It was just the way she had behaved.

The words she said.

Just the way she was.

For now, Bellatrix would get to live. Didn't wanna pull my trigger on Lucius too early.

There were two more people left.

Barty Crouch Senior.

And Junior.

"Barty Crouch Senior," I answered turning to face him. 

"Barty Crouch Senior?" Serena entered the - going conversation.

I nodded my head in person, as Tom had a blank expression. "Crouch works in the ministry and for some time I was trained by him." expressed Serena as she took a step forward.

"He may not be as strong as you're other targets, but in protection, he's the strongest." She finished.

"I have my ways," I responded.

She took another step closer with a concerned expression. "I know you are passionate and clever enough to do this, but please Emerlyn...be careful" warned Serena.

"No, she's right." Tom joined. "Emerlyn has her ways."

"You don't know who you're messing with! By you taking another step and killing Crouch you're going to alert the other killers, they'll become dangerous."

"Well that's what I want, I want them to be alert. I want to see fear in their eyes. They deserve to live in a life where they're fearful, always on alert!" I stated loud and clear.

"Emerlyn, have you given a thought to why they may have killed your parents? The reasoning behind it."

I was silent for a dead minute.

"No...I don't know...actually.."

- - - - - -

I took a sip of my coffee as I was in a busy chat with my lovely friend, Serena. While we exchanged words, I felt watched. I felt as though there were a suspicious pair of eyes glaring at me.

I looked around, I spotted a guy selling dozens of bouquets of flowers, a waiter cleaning up a hot mess, and a guy studying the daily prophet.

There was nothing out of the blue.

This only made me more anxious, growing paranoid by the second. Was I overthinking or was this real?

"Hello!" Serena snapped her fingers. "I'm over here discussing my life issues and you're here not giving any bits of your attention!"

"Erm..sorry" An apology slipped out of my mouth, finally bringing my gaze to her. I let her continue, but I could not brush this feeling off.

"Is there something wrong, tell me right now. I'm ready to throw a punch at whoever is making you feel this way!" Serena spoke.

Confusion circled around me. My mind was blank. There were no words I could think of.

"What?"

"Clearly you're anxious and before you ask me how I know, I've been with you my whole life." She softly placed her hand on mine.

For once I let out a sigh of relief and immediately spilled everything bothering me.

"It's weird, as you know when you were with..." Serena hesitated to speak. "You're toxic boyfriend..."

"Serena, can you not-"

"Right, I'm sorry I shouldn't have mentioned him."

- - - - - - - - - - - 

At last, the golden hour arrived, and the evening sun sun-kissed my face. In the background played romantic music, something I'd wish I could dance to.

As my thoughts slowly fell into a hole, a deep hole. Those thoughts contained how I'd murder Barty Crouch. It was fine, I had plenty of time on my hands. I wouldn't have to stress it.

I hadn't realized Draco was also present, leaning by the door frame and smiling faintly.

I looked over and he brought himself closer to me, taking a seat beside me.
"You were so lost, who was the special person on your mind?" He asked.

"Definitely not you" I chuckled.
