"Draco, we will leave you for a bit, but I will be back and we will discuss this. You need to consider all of your options. All of them. I love you, and I don’t want to see you hurt like this anymore. Please– just think about it," Pansy’s face fell as she observed the plain expression on Draco’s features. Once they exited his room and the door closed with a soft click, Draco exhaled. He was certain Pansy thought he was occluding, but in reality, Draco did not have the energy for it. He had felt drained since the celestial bonding ceremony and had wondered many times, along with Blaise, just how long it would take for him to recover from the effects of the bonding.
