Draco Malfoy;

I didn't hold the depth in straining my eyes open to look at her, to see her innocent face - I was exhausted; this was the first time I slept, a real deep sleep in months - I sought my hands to drag her warm body closer to mine, too sense that harmless, gentle comfort she always hugged me with, 

Fuck,

I clocked my centers open, feeling nothing but her cold pillow beside me - gazing over the empty bed,

I woke up in her room, alone.

Fucking alone.

I prized she was going to do this - she never fucking listens to me. I attempted to stay awake. I did everything imaginable not to fall asleep, but I couldn't - it was not possible when I had her so close to me, her head ceased so tranquility on my chest - her warmth caused me to feel this peace - a peace I haven't sensed in ages, and in some way, I didn't despise her for it, how could I?

I hurried out of her room - getting clothed as I went, scrunching the pathetic excuse of an apology she had left behind in between my fingers,

A note?

Really?

Holding each stare of all the pathetic Ravenclaw fools gawking at me as I sped by, of course, these bloody nerds are up at this hour, don't they have a life? - As I reached the door, I crashed into her best friend - She watched me with big eyes, remarking my shirt being partly unbuttoned, '' Where is she?'' I seethed through gritted teeth, feeling my temper leaving me,

'' What?'' Luna uttered with challenging tastes, '' Who, Leiah?''

'' Aren't you in fucking Ravenclaw, Luna?'' I felt my stomach twist in an unfamiliar way, '' Who the fuck do you think I'm talking about?''

She simply scoffed at me, '' Did you scare her away again? Because I swear to god, Malfoy, if you did something to hurt her, I will-,'' But before she possessed the opportunity to finish her sentence - I had already roared off, hurrying down the cursed stairs,

I gained the way back to my common room, headed undeviatingly to Blaise's dorm - without another heed - I booted his door in, provoking my best friend to launch himself out of bed,

'' What the fuck-,''

'' Where is she?'' I speak - my blood steaming within me, '' Do you know if she left?'' His look curved at my words as he reeled his head,

''Leiah?'' He utters, sounding drunken from snoring a few moments ago, stretching for his shirt to drag over his bronzed upper body, '' Yes, she was here late last night, why? Did she leave?'' I felt a drowning emotion at his words,

Why would she come to see him but leave without speaking a word to me?

Fucking mudblood,

Whore, 

Everything I ever dared to call her, she is.

At this moment, she is.

'' What did she want?'' I ask, setting my elbow to rest on his dresser - feeling annoyed with myself for acting nosey, but the stinging feeling of envy is burning through my veins of her going to him instead of me.

'' She just left this,'' He strains to pick out a letter from his nightstand, '' She said to hold on to this, and to give it to Luna if she didn't come to see me before tonight," My eyes instantly locked to the envelope resting in his hand, and before I grasped what I was doing, I snatched it from his hands,
