The Student(A short, semi-sweet,semi-bitter, Harry Potter love story) - Diana LeRoy (good beach reads TXT) 📗

Approximately one week after the funeral Celestia was still in mourning, she knew what Cesare had died for and why because Cesare's spirit spoke the tale of his murder through her dreams and Celestia had a gift for translating dreams and warned her to weary of Draco's father "For the last time I saw him he had an air of sin all around him, he's a dangerous man Celestia and because of who you are he may try to use you so be careful' he told her in her dream last night, now she was on vacation with Draco on St. Garnet Island east of the Italian mainland, no one really knew about it because her family owned it, before the selling of islands to millionaires became illegal her father had invested in this medium sized island she was now on with her boyfriend as a retreat for the family and after her parents died she inherited this island along with the second philosopher's stone, a marriage dowry, inheritance money and some other ancient valuables.

She looked over to Draco who was on her left side, sitting in his chair watching the waves go back and forth with her "Draco she began, he perked up his head "I love you truly I do, perhaps I always have but I just want to let you know that staying with me is risk, not because of who I am but because I am also the possessor of the world's only spare philosopher's stone since as you know Harry Potter destroyed the first one so if you ever want to leave me........she didn't get to finish.. Draco leaned over and kissed her softly at first, then he started to nibble her lip begging her mouth for entrance, at first she was hesitant but then she gave in allowing him access, his tongue gently massaged hers' every now and then as it explored her sweet cavern, they kissed like this then finally broke apart "God you taste sweet Celeste...like cotton candy........I love you...from now on I will protect you".

She was silent for a moment her eyes threatened to leak a few tears, no she wouldn’t cry but still she had to admit he was thoughtful " You called me Celeste, you haven't called me by that nickname since we were children" she took her hand and squeezed it "No one not even my father will keep me from you, I promise..." it wasn't till the end of his sentence that Draco realized he had made a mistake "Your....father" she said trembling a little. Ugh oh he thought to himself "Celestia please it’s not what you think.....I.... but before he could finished she had ran off, ran off to God only knows where, who, who could she trust her mind began to ask herself. All her life Celestia Flamel was a living target....a target for robbery, kidnapping and even rape and murder, more people had attempted kidnapping the heiress more than anything else. 

 The day Celestia ran away from Draco she never looked back. Not at him, Hogwharts, her childhood home and even everyone she knew............she never looked back on any of it. For that day in particular she had cast an invisibility spell that made her invisible from both the muggle and immortal world. She simply lived her life in complete secrecy certain that she couldn't trust anyone anymore. However as much as she would've loved to hide from the world and her problems forever that wouldn't be the case for the spell could only be active for three years maximum and when those three years simply flew by she knew what she had to do. Taking the philosopher's stone which she had so cleverly hid in a silver locket she carefully put an ancient spell to guard it in a hidden safe which was in the attic of her vacation home in Cape Town where no one would ever know of its existence and if they did they certainly wouldn't know where to look especially Voldemort, she knew he was hunting her down for the "spare" philosopher's stone but she had found out later that he was gone......dead.... he was no longer a threat to her nor anyone else for that matter.

With that being done the next thing to do was to make it seem as though she had never disappeared for three years although she really didn't to this she used an ancient time travel spell that the first Flamel Lord himself learned from Merlin and passed it on to all the Flamel generations and with this spell she put herself back into the tabloids and news so that it seemed like the young heiress had always been in the limelight as she was from childhood but she didn't put herself back in Hogwharts she couldn't. She didn't want to not after how she felt hurt by Draco and learning that he fell for the plainest girl at Hogwharts Astoria Greengrass what he saw in her she didn't know but she never really liked the girl she was always so plain and quiet what could he have possibly liked about her............wait a minute was she feeing jealous? She shook her head and for some odd reason decided to take a trip down memory lane and headed towards King's Cross-Hogsmeade Station where the Hogwharts Express arrived to pick up the students of Hogwharts every year. Yup it was that time of year, autumn of 2006 to be exact she stood back against a wall and watched the parents say goodbye to their children till summertime for a student lived at Hogwharts till school year’s end.

Suddenly she saw a familiar flash of pale blonde hair that could only belong to....... "Celestia, Celestia!" a voice called out and suddenly a figured moved towards her "By God it is you Celestia, you've become even more beautiful than the last time we met". He hugged her breathing in the scent of her perfume which was a cross between the scent of roses and cherry blossoms. "Draco I....she started and then suddenly she remembered why she had gotten mad at him three years ago she slapped him "How could you.....how could I.....Draco tried to reply but was greeted by another slap "How could you use me for you and your families personal gain.........I trusted you my whole life....what a fool I've been, you never loved me for if you did you wouldn't be with her she said in upset voice pointing towards his wife who was busy talking to her nephew and holding their few month old son. "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you". She looked down at her feet as her sapphire eyes began to fill with tears.

Suddenly he grabbed both her hands and kissed her "Your wrong, my father wanted me to marry you for personal gain yes I admit my parents were both guilty of that ambition but I DO love you Celestia Flamel, the only reason I married Astoria was to have an heir and because you had disappeared I grew depressed, nothing could've mended my heart Astoria was just a last resort and so my parents forced me to marry her, I never loved her, nor will I ever it’s you I have always loved and you that I always will". He played with a lock of strawberry blonde hair not caring if Astoria was watching his public display of affection. Like he said they were never close or affectionate, heck they were hardly acquaintances at Hogwharts and they never really talked or did anything together after the birth of their son. Both of them knew that this marriage was inconvenient and had only been fulfilled out of necessity. Celestia wiped the tears, God she was a fool and she realized how truly lucky she is to have a man like Draco in her life from the look in his eyes she could see honesty and love "Oh Draco, I never disappeared truly I didn't at the time I just felt like I couldn't trust anyone as I was constantly a target and oh Draco I'm sorry for misunderstanding you" she cried into his chest he hugged her reassuring her everything was okay and that now they would truly be to together and he could explain everything later for now there was something he must do.

Wrapping his arm around Celestia slender waistline he and her walked up to his wife "Astoria, I am sorry but I am leaving you, you and I both knew that this marriage of ours was never truly meant to be and it’s just not working out, I'm sorry but you'll find a better man, a man you can truly love, as for our son I will pay for his tuition and child support and we will work out custody arrangements in the future now if you'll excuse us, Celestia and I must go". Astoria Greengrass nodded and said nothing her now ex-husband said everything that needed to be said and he was right about everything. It was so bad however she thought as she looked towards the sky "Well at least he's happy and surely I'll be happy too when I find the right man" she told herself with a smile on her fair face.

2007: Celestia and Draco didn't have an extravagant all out wedding as everyone thought they would instead they married in a court house by a justice of the peace named Terry Ledgerson, neither parents from either side of the family attended however as Celestia wanted nothing to do with Draco's parents and her own parents were gone however many of their friends from Hogwharts and outside of Hogwharts crowded in the small courthouse to witness the union of Celestia and Draco. Draco had made good use of his fortune for although his parents may have lost their fortune he was wise and not only hid his fortune to keep it but that fortune that had started out as five million pounds tripled over the last few years as he had did as Celestia suggested and store his money in a Swedish bank account as it was known for being wealthy due to banking and he did not regret taking her advice when he found out his money had tripled especially after removing it from his Swedish bank account and putting it back into a London bank.
