As Ophelia was wandering around the castle, she kept her wand out in case something were to jump out at her. Ophelia sighed as she thought back to last night. She hoped Zinzsy was okay. She also wished Zinzsy was here with her. Zinzsy always helped her cool down whenever she was upset. usually, she would have Draco come over and help her by holding her and telling her everything is going to be alright. However, since she is currently upset with him, her next bet would be Zinzsy. Ophelia hoped that the death eaters didn't get to her. Ophelia sighed as she saw a corner she could round. She truly did miss Draco and wanted to spend more time with him, yet she couldn't bring herself to do so. Ophelia wiped at her eyes as tears were welling in them once again. Ophelia looked up to make sure she wouldn't run into anything while trying to turn left, but a pair of double doors caught her eye. They had intricate designs on them and they were still appearing out of thin air. Ophelia gasped and ran her fingers over the door. She soon found the handle and slowly but surely pulled open the heavy door. 

What Ophelia didn't know, was that Draco was following behind her under the invisible cloak. He knew that it was rude to follow her without her knowledge, but he couldn't handle the thought of something getting to hear when he wasn't there to save her. Draco saw she had found the room of requirement, and wondered what she required for the doors to appear. Draco walked into the room quickly before she shut the door. Draco made sure his breathing was quiet, as he didn't want Ophelia to know he was there. Ophelia gaped at the scene in front of her. It was Draco's bedroom. She then grew confused. 'His room is all the way on the other side of the castle, why would it be here as well?' She thought. Ophelia ran her fingers across the desk, the chair, and then the bedsheets. She took in a deep breath and let out a shaky breath. The room smelled exactly like Draco. She looked over to his desk and let out an airy chuckle as she saw one of his half-eaten apples. She turned the apple in her hands and smiled a small smile.

"Such a wasteful man with his apples." Her voice was barely above a whisper. Draco gave a small smile. He knew that the room of requirement knew that Ophelia wanted Draco, but he didn't know why. He was still there, and he still loved her, and he sure as hell wasn't leaving her, let alone wanting her to leave him. Draco decided to watch for a moment longer before he made his presence known. Ophelia had turned to his side of the bed. She grabbed his pillow and hugged it. She let a few tears slide as she felt her heartbreak once more. Ophelia was still upset about the night before on the common room couch. The least he could have let her do was look at the mark in all of its dark beauty. Ophelia's brow scrunched as she thought back to the event. She had never seen him that angry. And this morning during breakfast, she had never encountered that side of him. Draco was never like that with Ophelia, and it broke her heart more. She didn't understand what she did in order to deserve that treatment. Draco's heart ached for his love. He decided enough was enough and walked quietly to the door to re-open it and act as if he had just arrived. Before he could open the door, Ophelia cast her Patronus. The Pheonix flew around her and sat down on the bed. Ophelia continued to cry and faced the wispy creature.

"What did I do? Why was he so mad at me?" Ophelia cried as she talked to her Pheonix. Ophelia did this on occasion whenever she was truly in distress. Draco then realized why she was even more upset and remembered the night before on the couch, and his grumpy attitude at breakfast. He had acted irrational with her, all because he was annoyed with the whole situation with the death eaters. He didn't want to talk. He wanted to sit in silence and hold her and kiss her gently. Draco then opened up the door, and quickly walked out and pulled off the cloak. Ophelia gasped and wiped her tears. Her Pheonix disappeared and Draco called out to her.

"Ophelia? Are you in here, love?" Ophelia's heart swelled once again, before it sunk. She didn't know if she wanted to face Draco. She sat on the bed and made sure her tears were gone, continuing to hug his pillow. Draco noticed she was still crying and walked over to her. He sat behind her and removed his pillow. He pulled her back flush against his chest and that was when Ophelia broke down. Draco cooed her and kissed her head several times. He hated himself for making her feel this way.

"Baby, I'm so sorry about this morning. I just didn't want to talk. I wanted to sit in silence and just enjoy your company. I didn't mean to make you sad baby girl. And for last night, no one has ever touched my mark like that, and I didn't know what to make of the situation. I really am sorry, love. Please forgive me," Ophelia let out a sob and turned around to face him. Ophelia straddled Draco as she tried to hug him. Draco held her face and wiped her tears away. 

"I thought you were so mad at me Draco, you've never treated me like that." Ophelia cried and their hearts broke. 

"It will never happen again," Draco said as he kissed Ophelia passionately. Ophelia held onto Draco tightly, only parting for a few moments to breathe before they continued loving one another.

"You aren't mad at me?" Ophelia asked as she shed a tear at the thought. Draco wiped away her tear and kissed her lips ever so softly.

"No, darling. I would never be mad at you. You are my everything. You are my mea lux." Ophelia's lips trembled and hugged Draco even tighter. Draco rubbed Ophelia's back as he laid themselves down. Draco and Ophelia continued to slowly kiss each other for a while before there was a comfortable silence. Ophelia saw his mark and wanted to ask him if she could see it. She didn't want to upset him again. Ophelia looked up at him, to see he was already admiring her. Ophelia cleared her throat before she spoke.

"Draco?" Ophelia's voice was just above a whisper.

"Yes, love?" Ophelia smiled and started to play with Draco's sweater.

"Do you mind if I see it?" Draco tensed for a moment as he thought. She has already seen it, and he knows she is only asking because she doesn't want him angry and her again. Draco sighed and nodded. Ophelia's eyes lit up for just a moment before she slowly rolled up his sleeve. Ophelia stared at the mark and marveled in its beauty. Ophelia looked up again and saw Draco eyeing her. He was on edge, thinking that she would randomly leave him and change her mind about everything. Ophelia seemed to sense this and grabbed his other hand.

"I'm not going anywhere, Draco. I love you," Draco nodded his head, his breathing becoming uneven. Ophelia looked uneasy as well, but it was only because she wanted to ask another question.

"Can I touch it?" Draco gaped at her. He wasn't expecting her to ask him that question. Draco thought for a moment, and Ophelia waited patiently. Draco nodded once and she gave him a soft smile. Ophelia traced his mark with soft, gentle touches. She had his arm in her lap and she didn't take her eyes off of it. Ophelia grabbed his arm and lifted it up toward her mouth. Draco took in a sharp breath as she pepper light kisses overtop his mark. Draco didn't believe what he was seeing. He didn't think Ophelia would ever act that way. He didn't think Ophelia would kiss his mark and love it as she loves him. Ophelia was still upset he hadn't told her sooner, and that everyone had kept secrets from her, but she still loved Draco and would do anything for him. Ophelia finally stopped peppering his mark in kisses and looked back up at Draco. Draco's eyes were filled with love, and his heart was soaring. Ophelia felt like she was whole again and laid down on Draco's chest. The couple held one another for a while before Ophelia came up with another question.

"Draco?" Ophelia felt his hum of response while he was playing with her hair. It made her sigh before she asked her question. 

"What room are we in?" Draco let out a slight chuckle.

"The room of requirement. Whatever you deeply need, the doors appear and the room is filled with whatever it is that you need. Like how you needed me and my bedroom appeared." Ophelia nodded and thought she was done with her questions when she thought of another.

"Draco, how did you find me anyway?" Draco grew tense and chuckled a bit. Ophelia sat up and looked at her boyfriend. He sighed and looked at the ceiling as he lay still on the bed.

"I was worried about you, and I didn't want anything happening to you while you were wandering. So, I took Harry's cloak and followed you in here." Draco's face grew red and Ophelia grabbed the pillow they weren't using and hit him once with it. Draco laughed and Ophelia groaned and laid the other way and turned away from him.

"Oh, love. I'm sorry." Draco pulled Ophelia close to his chest and she grumbled. She wouldn't dare let him know the satisfaction that the action gave her. 

"Yeah, whatever." She sighed and kissed his cheek lightly when she turned around for a split second. Draco kissed her cheek and the couple laid there for hours on end, enjoying one another's presence. Draco noticed it was getting late and sat up

"Come on love, I want to show you something." Ophelia groaned and rubbed her eyes. She was just about to fall asleep when Draco woke her again. Ophelia followed Draco around aimlessly until they came to a set of stairs. The couple traveled up the stairs, and at the top, she saw they were in a tower of sorts. There was a telescope and Ophelia was in awe. Ophelia walked to one of the many windows of the tower and gazed upon the land surrounding Hogwarts.

"This is the astronomy tower, love. This was where I came all the time to think about you when I couldn't sleep at night." Ophelia looked at him and quickly embraced him. Her head was on his chest and his head was on top of her, kissing her hair every now and then. Ophelia's heart was soaring, and she was beyond happy. 

She knew that they truly could work through anything that stumbled across them.
