Dora was feeling miserable today. Firstly, she has to leave Chris and go for her Auror training. These two months passed by too quickly.
Every moment spent in his presence is like a drug to her. She can't get enough of it and can't bear to part with him. And now they have to part.
What was worse was that he'll be in Hogwarts or Beauxbatons for the next five years while she'll have to work at the ministry. So, it's not clear when they'll be able to spend time together.
Then there was the problem that she wasn't able to fully let go of her past traumas due to which she's unable to climb the further steps of a relationship with Chris.
Furthermore, Chris was turning out to be more and more monstrous as he reveals his secrets, which is making her wonder why does he even like her.
Back in the days, he was just the boy she had fallen in love with who also seemed to like her. She felt that despite the differences, they were a great match.
But now that she's comparing herself to the other options he has, she can't help but feel insecure.
Just look at Fleur. Fleur has many advantages that she doesn't. Moreover, that b*tch seems to like Chris too.
Dora has considered killing her many times, but as expected, she still can't bring herself to do that.
Don't misunderstand her... it's not because of the kindness of her heart. It's because she might get caught. Or because her abnormally sharp and mysterious boyfriend might find out somehow.
She was so frustrated today that she tried her best in her last practice today but it still didn't help better her mood since she was still not that good.
Though her mood worsened even further when that b*tch ran to Chris with so much worry. The idiot didn't even know Chris enough to understand that the guy was merely acting.
Then the b*tch volunteered to escort Chris to his room! And what did she say about Chris doing the same for her in the past?! Chris never told her about this!
And of course, since everyone has such a great impression of that b*tch, they all approved it. Only Camille looked at Dora in pity.
Dora excused herself and decided to follow them under stealth. She wanted to jinx the hell of Fleur when she was that the b*tch had stopped levitating him after she had climbed the stairs and tried to hug Chris for the rest of the way.
If Dora had done that, Chris would have taken so much advantage of her that she would have turned red from shame. Fortunately, Chris didn't do any such thing with Fleur. Dora suspected that the b*tch would even say yes even if Chris asked her to strip right then and there.
'After all, she didn't suffer the same problems as me due to her family background,' she thought bitterly.
Both Fleur and Dora had different types of sufferings in their lives. Fleur's worst suffering came only in her later years when she loses the selection tournament and then also loses the Tri-wizard. But now Chris was here to prevent these.
On the other hand, Dora has already suffered the worse in her earlier years. And no one could bother her as she grew old. Now, Chris could only try to heal her wounds and give her the happiness she deserves.
But Dora didn't know this. She felt that she was in way too much of a disadvantage when compared to Fleur.
-The age difference is only 3 years. While Dora's about six years older than Chris.
-She lives in France and thus can meet Chris frequently and can even study together with Chris if either of them changes schools.
-Her family is on such good terms with Chris's family that it is almost just one big family.
-Furthermore, her family background matches well with Chris's.
-Fleur's quite beautiful, one of the most beautiful girls Dora's ever seen.
With all this, how could she not feel insecure? That's the reason why she's here, listening to their conversation.
Fleur was thanking Chris for the ornaments enchanted with Pure magic. She already knew about that, but she didn't know what about what Chris said to her in response—
"But you did help me out a lot. The precious materials, equipment and those priceless books..."
This somehow hit her bad. Chris had helped her out a lot. But... she never could give him anything substantial in return. On the other hand, Fleur had given so many to him.
And Chris didn't even tell her about this, since he must have realized that Dora would think this way. He doesn't want anything in return, but that didn't help Dora from feeling worse.
And then she saw them hugging, and that broke the final straw. She wanted to rush there, she wanted to stop them, she wanted to tear them apart, but... she realized that it was meaningless to do so.
What would she say to Chris after that?
'Don't get close to this girl and only interact with me?'
She's leaving him tomorrow. Is he supposed to not even interact with Fleur when she's not even there?
And also, even if she stops Fleur for today, how will she stop her when Chris and Fleur go around the world for duels? How will she stop her when they meet here on holidays? She can't be there for him for the foreseeable future.
'I can't...' she realized. And thus, with the image of the two hugging each other etched into her mind, she left.
....
Fleur only left after she had made sure that Chris had laid down on his bed. She was dying to talk about the duel, but she supposed that thanking him took the priority since she didn't know when she'll get the opportunity and also because he was clearly very tired right now.
Though before leaving, she did give him the thank-you kiss on both cheeks that was due for the fact that Gabby won't have to suffer the allure problems at school due to his artifacts.
Chris didn't mind it, since kissing is very common in French culture. It could be called more common than even a proper hug.
As soon as she'd left, Chris quickly got up. This was his last day here, he's going to spend it all with Dora. All the other people, he can meet with the help of the Vanishing Cabinet.
Humming a jolly tune under stealth, he went to Dora's room, only to find that she wasn't there. He checked out if she was with Sally and Cindy, but the twins were still outside with Gabrielle and Esmée. All the little girls were checking out the location when his Repulsive Beam had impacted the wards.
'Then, where did she go?' Wondered Chris. He didn't have much time. Thus, he activated his dragon senses and his gaze fell to the ground where a noticed something,
"Are they... tears?" There were a few droplets of what seemed like tears.
But, even though he could smell her tears, he couldn't smell HER scent.
'It's as if...' his eyes widened. It's as if she was under stealth!
"Damn it!" He cursed. Was she really there the whole time?!
It only then did he realize why he felt that something was wrong.
"But... why would she cry though?" He wondered. It wasn't like Dora to cry. She was a strong girl with a strong spirit. She's not the kind to just run away. Chrus would have worried more for Fleur's life.
But then he recalled that her mood seemed miserable from the start of the day.
'Is it...' he realized what happened somewhat and his
"NonononoNO! Come on! Not this time as well!" He exclaimed in frustration.
This girl seems to have the habit of running away. Just like she did in the first year, and other times as well.
'I'll have to make her realize that she can't run away anymore...' he thought as his canines unconsciously sharpened. He had an idea about where she might be hiding.
He stepped into his basement through Vanishing Cabinet and apparated straight in front of the Tonks Residence.
*Ding-dong*
He rang the doorbell, he was going to wait, but his sharp senses detected her recent scent and he got impatient. His magic flared and the door opened on its own and he walked in following the scent.
On his way, he encountered Ted and Andromeda who were a bit surprised to see him,
"Chris?" x2 they both asked at the same time.
Chris nodded, "Excuse me, but I'd like to sleep with your daughter tonight, do I have the permission?"
Their jaws hung open for a moment upon hearing Chris's words. But then Ted stood up in outrage, "What did you just say?!"
But Andromeda, who was more cool-headed put a hand on his shoulder to calm him down, "Dear, what are you overreacting for? Haven't you already approved of their relationship?"
She then turned to look at Chris and smiled helplessly, "I know you're serious about her. So, I can only ask you to try your best to keep her happy. She has had a tough life and has many scars which she hides from us. Only you can heal her,"
Securing her arms around Ted she said, "Go. You have our blessings," she was holding down Ted who wanted to stop Chris.
Chris nodded at both of them, "I'll make sure to give her a lifetime of happiness," with that, he walked towards her room like he owned the place.
Looking at his back, Andromeda had a sudden thought, "I wondered if he knows the contraception charm? Will I be Grandma Andi so soon?" She wondered out loud, making Ted almost faint.
He walked to her room. With a burst of his wandless magic, the door of Dora's room opened itself to welcome Chris, along with crying and startled Dora's wand tip.
She looked him in with complicated emotions, "Why are you doing here?!"
Chris looked at looked Dora who had tears running down her cheeks and a snotty nose, 'Why does she still look so endearing right now?'
Chris smiled at her, showing his sharp canines, "Didn't I already say earlier today? You can't run anywhere tonight," he declared as he walked towards her.
The door shut down behind him and different kinds of privacy charms got cast all around the room. He even included an anti-apparation ward as well in case she tries to disapparate.
But Dora wasn't so easily convinced, "Just... leave me alone! I am running away before you throw me away!" She cried as she backed away from him further into her bed. "I... can't give you anything! I'm too broken. It's better if you just choose Fleur!"
She just wouldn't be able to bear it if she disappears for a year to two, then returns to him, only to find out that he doesn't love her anymore.
Chris stopped for a moment, but then his eyes widened as he finally fully understood the matter, "You... you're worried about THIS??"
In the next moment, he was on the bed with hands wrapped around her. Dora wanted to struggle, but her body was honest as it tried to lean into Chris's embrace.
Chris sighed, "You silly girl, I can't stop loving you even if I wanted to," he said helplessly.
"Liar," Dora muttered in a small voice. How would he know if the future him would love her or not? It isn't like he has any control over this.
Chris chuckled, "I actually am a liar," he agreed, "But!... I'm not lying right now. We can't stop loving each other," he said seriously, recalling the pinkish magic which had sometimes comes out of him.
"We're... kinda bonded," he told her. He had been researching about it for a while now, "The pink magic that keeps coming up every now and then... It's a type of one of the most mysterious magics in the world. It comes under... Love Magic,"
"What?!" Dora looked up at him in surprise.
Chris nodded, "It's not something so rare actually. It's even present in muggles. In fact, anyone who possesses a soul has it,"
"...."
Dora had trouble wrapping her head around this, "Then, why are we the only ones who know about this? And how does it help in making our love last long?" She asked puzzled.
Chris ran his hand through her hair, "The amounts released differ upon people. Apparently, I can harness it quite easily, the reason being one or some or all of my numerous abnormalities."
"As for how it helps our love, even your parents have it. It kinda keeps adding up in very small amounts for most people. But in our case..."
Dora's eyes widened, "... Already so much was released," she felt a burst of joy upon hearing that.
"So..." said Chris, pushing her down and straddling her. He brought his face close to hers,
"You still wanna run away?"
