Lily arrived home late Wednesday night after her first driving class; she was working on getting her Driver's License to help with deliveries at the Auto Shop.

One day I'm going to have to tell you. thought Draco. He looked over at the clock. Now wasn't the time. He wasn't in the right state of mind.

"When you want to know. Just ask." he adds.

She nodded and offered a weak, 'I don't hate your guts' type of apologetic smile, not knowing what to say or where to go from here.

Draco noticed Lily falling over and he walked over to her and offered his hand. "We're both tired." he says "Why don't we go to sleep?"

Lily nodded again, hesitating only slightly before taking his hand. She held onto it for a minute before trying to stand while she used her other hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall.
