DRACO MALFOY.

Again with the modesty. What is it with morally sound people and their modesty? If Draco had even one selfless deed under his belt he’d be shouting it from the rooftops. This resistance to credit used to annoy him to no end, but now he has a deeper understanding of the roles they all must play to survive, how one wrong move can be the end of you, and how maybe, this modesty is an unseen mode of survival for Bella, more than even the luck that’s so tangible to her and so invisible to him.

He nods in absolute understanding, as he doubts he will ever be able to escape the past, not for lack of trying. Good guys with grudges, though, that’s something he’s been unknowingly running from since before he learned to spit profanities. 

“You know, with your aptitude for getting tied up in the supernatural, I’m surprised you didn’t find yourself waist deep in the wizarding war.” He squints at her, a single slender hand adorned with rings raising to his mouth thoughtfully, “But maybe your unlucky streak is over. This house is damn near impenetrable with all of the protection charms I have surrounding the place. No creature, magical or not, can even see this place unless I will it so.” 

He decides to go out on a limb in light of this new kinship. He doesn’t know why he feels he has something to prove to her, but he does. “If safety is something you want, you have it here,” Another smirk, “Until one of us is found out, of course.”

       endless selfless deed’s,   and none of them enough for her  –  nothing grants enough redemption,   she notes,   for the things she’s caused;   a series of tragedies,   setting off in a domino effect only triggered by her very existence.   her debt back to the world is infinite,    and she holds no jurisdiction over her fated consequences,    leaving death as a casual concept in her mind now.    justice ??   –   there would never be enough of it.     but it really was a survival mode of sorts;   a way for her to cope with the damage.   

      she shrugs her shoulders  –   maybe she should be surprised, too, that she only ended up in one good ol’ vampire war.    it is rather comforting,   really,   to be listened too,   and to listen;   to have a back-and-forth of sympathy,   some type of understanding settling in between their two stories.   she perks up with his suggestion,   notably moved by it.    something in her tells her she should be reluctant,   but in retrospect,   it was only another mechanism willing to put herself where she knew she was in most danger because,   was it not what she’s led herself to deserve?     draco is being gracious to her,   and she’s conscious of her instinct to run away from it   –   and even she questions it,   now.     but she’d simply be an idiot to decline. 

            ❛   –    that’s..    incredible of you,   to offer that to me.    i can’t say i couldn’t really use a shower and a good nights sleep,    but.    are you sure?   i won’t be intruding too much,   would i?  ❜
