Oh!  I can see that too!!  Hmmm....

Leila sat on her bed, reading through essays that her 3rd years had written.  While the writing wasn’t the best, she was looking for content knowledge.  She didn’t normally take work home with her...unless she and Draco were having a row.  While they had been married for several years and already had one child, she and Draco could still be rather hot-headed.  It was just their thing.

Draco walked through the door to their bedroom after having put Cassie down for the night.  Leila glanced up at him and narrowed her eyes. She was still angry at him from their fight before school.  While she knew she was likely being stubborn on the matter, she wasn’t willing to concede yet. “Out,” she said.

He rolled his eyes and groaned in exasperation. “You can’t banish me!  This is my bed too!”

“I can too!  Besides your spot is taken by these essays.” Leila patted the parchments on Draco’s side of the bed.

“Had I known you’d have taken it like this,” Draco mumbled to himself as he plucked his pillow from the bed. 

“How was I supposed to take it, Draco?  You told me that we’re moving into Malfoy Manor before the twins are born. You didn’t even ask me.”  Leila rubbed her small baby bump.  She was now four months along with twins on the way.

“I don’t see what the issue is. We need more room and we can’t stay in this cottage forever.  We’re already cramped for space as it is.”

“The issue?  Do you not remember the fact that we were both tortured there?” Leila folded her arms across her chest and stared at her husband.

Draco rolled his eyes. “Of course I haven’t forgotten.  I was just thinking maybe we could make some better memories there.  The place is just sitting there empty and it will be more than big enough for us.”

With a sigh, Draco walked over to Leila’s side of the bed and dropped to his knees.  “I honestly thought you would see the need.  I wasn’t trying to leave you out of things. I was trying to show you that I am capable of supporting you.”

Leila sighed, her stubbornness melting.  Draco grabbed her hand and brought it to his cheek. “We’re in this together, Draco.  I don’t expect you to wait on me hand and foot.”

“That’s what I was raised to do, sweetheart.  I was raised to make sure my family never was in want.  That everything was provided for them.  I want to do that for you and our family.”

Leila sighed again.  She knew that her position at Hogwarts often made him feel inadequate since he was only working for Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes, the Hogsmeade location.  She knew that he felt like he should be doing more--that he should have a career picked out, but nothing seemed to stick.  

Draco and Leila made eye contact.  “I love you,” he told her. “ I always have.”

“I know,” Leila sighed. “I love you too.”

Draco looked up at her with large eyes. “Might I come to bed now, wife?”

“If you must,” Leila said, trying to still act angry, but she knew that Draco could tell that her anger had subsided.  With a grin, Draco kissed his wife before he jumped over her and onto the bed.

Yesssss...

1. Who is the early bird/ Who is the night owl? I’d say Draco is usually the early bird compared to Leila.  She can be the night owl, but so can Draco.  His sleep schedule is really messed up. haha.

3. Who hogs the cover/ Who loves to cuddle? Leila does both, although Draco does enjoy holding onto Leila.

6. Who would have really deep emotional thoughts at the middle of the night/ Who would have them in the middle of the day? Leila would probably in the middle of the night and Draco probably would be in the middle of the day.

9. Who makes the coffee (or tea)? The house elves. ;) haha.  Although, Leila can make a cup of tea, but Draco is actually better in the kitchen than Leila is...but she tries her hardest.

11. Who likes horror movies/ Who likes romance movies? Draco probably would like horror movies just to point out how completely unrealistic they are.  Leila is a sucker for romance movies...especially since at times she feels she is living one.

31. Who is more affectionate? Honestly, I would say Draco, but he’s more subtle about it.  Whether it’s just brushing her hand with his or making sure he’s close to her.  Leila’s affection is usually just more obvious than his.

35. Who goes overboard on the holidays? Draco.  He wants to be sure that Leila gets the holidays she never had growing up. 39. Who buys cereal for the prize inside? Leila buys it for Draco because she knows that no matter how old he is, he likes finding the prize.

43. Who wins the stuffed animals at the carnival for the other one? I think Draco would think it should be him, but Leila doesn’t think that it necessarily should be him.  So, then they get rather competitive seeing who can win more. haha.
