You opened your eyes and was greeted by the ceiling of the Hospital Wing.

It was dark.

Lonely.

All you could hear was the wind from outside, brushing against the leaves.

It was past curfew.

You got up and rubbed your forehead.

Turning to the side table, you saw a jacket.

Specifically, Cedric's jacket.

The one he had borrowed you on the day of the party.

You picked it up and wrapped it around your shoulders.

Cedric..

You started sobbing quietly as you got out from bed.

You shouldn't have been out by curfew but you couldn't resist.

You had to get your mind off of him.

-----

You were walking around campus, unaware of where you were heading.

You followed your heart and found a small little garden by the side of the lake.

There was a tree, perfectly carassing the sight of the moon.

You sat down beside the tree and stared into the abyss.

There was ruffling from the leaves above.

As you looked up, your eyes widened.

"What are you doing here." You asked calmly.

"I could be asking you the same."

"I needed some air."

"Same here." He said, as he jumped off the tree, landing next you.

"Are you.. okay..?"

You gave a slight nod, still staring at the moon.

"I'm sorry for your loss."

"Don't be, it's not your fault." You replied.

It indeed wasn't.

You were really mad and disappointed at Voldemort.

Silence fell upon the two of you.

"Draco." You started.

Draco looked at you with soft eyes, waiting for you to go on.

"Thank you." You said.

"What for?"

"The jacket." You had left it in his bedroom that morning. (Chapter 5-7)

"It wasn't mine to begin with anyway, but you're welcome."

You held onto the jacket tightly.

"It's past curfew. You shouldn't be out." You asked him.

"You just fainted. You shouldn't be out." He questioned back.

"You're ignoring my statement."

"So are you."

You both shared a glance and laughed.

"I couldn't sleep." Draco said.

"I usually come here when I have nightmares." He continued.

"Relatable." You replied.

"I know this is probably really hard for you.. so if you ever need to talk, just know I'm here." He said, looking into your (e/c) eyes.
