Safely wrapped in your arms
Harry doesn't know what is better, staying here or staying with the Dursleys. Yes she has a bed here, yes she has a room but the Dursleys never hit her. Yes, she has food here but she has no peace. She is being trained for something that she doesn't understand. She is not allowed to step out of the house at all. Yes she has clothes of her own now but she is always afraid that someone will barge inside her room while she is changing.
She has to stay cautious. She has to keep her guard up. Her first year at Durmstrang was bad. If being a witch entails this... going to a school that believes that corporal punishment is the solution of everything and being punished by Rudolphus so that she can gain endurance and can serve Lord Voldemort to her fullest, then she doesn't want to be a witch.
She stares outside the window. Her lip is bleeding and her legs are trembling even though she is sitting and her back hurts. She wants to run away from this place but she has no where to go. The Dursleys won't take her back and she can't risk getting caught while running.
The sudden sound of the opening and closing of her door startles her and she shoots up from her couch, standing straight, her wand pointed towards the intruder. When she notices that the so called intruder is a boy who seems her age, she stares incredulously.

Draco bursts inside the room she had gone in and closes the door very quietly. She continues staring at him for a few moments. Her lips are still bleeding and she is wearing a navy blue dress. The first thing Draco realizes is that she is quite cute. The second thing he realizes is that he has to act soon if he doesn't want to get cursed because she is coming out of her shocked stupor and his uncle and aunt have most probably trained her in dark arts.
He is very glad that he has normal parents and a normal godfather who just act in front of others like death eaters.
"Who the bloody fuck are you?" She hisses at him and he starts, "I-"
"Come to think of it, you look like that bloody coward, Lucius Malfoy." She continues, her voice, a low hiss. For a moment, Draco is very very startled. Belatedly he realizes her words mean that his father knows about this and still he chose not to act on it. That did make his father a coward. So, practically speaking, she is not lying. Draco decides to ask father later about this.
While he is still lost in his musings, the girl walks slowly towards him. Her green eyes are narrowed into slits. She is furious and Draco stares quietly into her eyes until he realizes that he has no time to waste.
"Listen, you can glare all you want at me, but after we are at my manor because aunt Bella and Uncle Rudolphus will start searching for me once they realize that I have vanished." He murmurs urgently and her eyes become as wide as saucers. Her eyes are damn beautiful and expressive and Draco rarely finds anyone beautiful. Pansy has a nice figure but she is such a bitch that Draco despises her.
"But-" she starts and he looks at the door before holding both her hands in his. This being done, he ignores her furious hiss and merlin she is a parslemouth and he is bloody impressed. Parsletongue is a very very rare gift.
He shakes his head in exasperation. He has to concentrate on his destination if he doesn't want to splinch them. But she keeps struggling and he is irritated because two whole minutes have passed and they are still not at his manor.
"Will you stop struggling? I need to concentrate." He snaps at her and her eyes become wide again before she mutters, "Where are you taking me?"
"Away from here or... if you want to stay here and get cursed by them, then be my guest." He is lying of course. He will not leave her over here. Now that he has seen her expressive green eyes, he wants to be able to look at them daily. Also, he doesn't want her to get hurt. He doesn't know who she is but no-one deserves this.
"Ok." She mutters, her eyes blank and he wraps his arms loosely around her waist so that he doesn't splinch them, not even by mistake. She gasps a bit and stares at him in shock but she doesn't struggle. She keeps on staring at him with blank eyes. For the first time, her eyes are completely blank. He wonders why. He doesn't want them to be blank.
"What?" He asks and annoyance creeps in her eyes. Her face is close to hers and he has this very strange urge to kiss her lips. But mother says that he must not kiss girls like this, that he is too small right now, that he must not take advantage of anyone. He doesn't know what it means but mothers are always right so he doesn't kiss her lips but they are bleeding and now he is having a strange urge to kill his uncle.
"Are we leaving or what?" She hisses at him. Why is she always furious? He wants to ask her to smile but he doesn't. He stares at the strange scar that is on her forehead and concentrates. He wants to apparate to his sitting room. Mother, father and Uncle Severus are sitting over there right now.
"Draco, what-" His mother's incredulous voice is the evidence that he has reached the right place. He keeps his arms wrapped around her petite waist for a few moments. Surprisingly, she doesn't pull back. Her hands are resting on his shoulders. He really wants to kiss her but then mother's words start rotating in his mind and he pulls back before turning towards his parents and godfather who are still staring at him with shocked eyes.
'Green eyes', yes he has decided to address her by this name because her eyes are extremely mesmerizing. So, Green eyes is standing beside him now, her posture unsure and nervous. He looks at her and murmurs, "It's all right. I won't let them hurt you or send you back. You are safe now."
She looks at quietly at him, her eyes looking odd. He wonders what her eyes mean right now. Perhaps he will know with time. Right now, he has his parents and godfather to talk to.
