This is insane. Dumbledore has died. And apparently it was Draco?!? I can't believe it. And I wont.

I'm walking up and down the corridor, searching for that platinum blonde hair. I can't seem to find him anywhere, until I stumble upon the Room of Requirements. I slowly push open the door, and see Draco, sitting next to this big cabinet.

"𝘐𝘵𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦, 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨?" I ask, desperate for answers. But when he looks up at me, his eyes are bloodshot red. I run over to give him a hug.

"𝘐𝘮 𝘴𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺. 𝘐𝘧 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵. 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵." I assure him. I've missed my best friend. He cries into my shoulder for a little, while I rub his back. Later on, he explains the whole story to me, and I just listen.

"𝘠/𝘕, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘐 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦.

My heart aches for him.


"𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘰, 𝘐𝘮 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘎𝘰 𝘢𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥" I say. Once I say that, I watch him go for his arm. I don't know what I'm about to see, but whatever it is, it cant be good if he thinks I'm going to hate him.


He rolls up his shirt sleeve to reveal... the dark mark.

"𝘰𝘩 𝘮𝘺-" I say. I didn't even mean to, the words just came out.

Draco stays silent. Theres this moment in time between us where I feel like this is the closest we're ever going to get. I stand up, roll his sleeve down, and hug him, once more.

"𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥."
