Wasn't meant to be.. [Draco Malfoy] English version

Chapter 10

He looks around the corner of the wall to see if Draco is gone. 'What kind of map is that?' I ask with a suspicious undertone. He says "Nothing" while he wants to put it away. 'Why can't I see it?' I ask. I keep my irritation to myself because I am still new here and don't want to make enemies. 'You're friends with Malfoy... I can't tell you,' he says in a tone of voice as if he feels sorry for me. 'Did that sound like friends?' I ask in puzzlement when I gesture where Draco and I just had the argument. 'You know what I mean Juliette' he says when he looks directly at me still with that compassionate look and tone of voice. 'And you also have secrets that you don't tell us,' he says. I am frightened. What does he think, that I just tell everything while I barely know him for a day. Wait, now I'm disagreeing with myself as well. I sigh and look out the window we were standing in front of in order to avoid his compassionate gaze that started to irritate me by now. The beautiful view, the moon together with the stars make a nice scene. I sigh and walk away from the window back into the old stone corridors.

I enter Luna's room and she ignores me the whole time I'm packing my things. After 10 minutes of silence I try to reach her. 'Luna...' I try softly. She turns towards me on her wooden office chair and gives me a warm smile. 'Finally, I thought you were going to be silent the whole evening,'' she says sweetly. I am relieved that she still wants to talk to me. 'Sorry about earlier. I was stressed and had a lot on my mind and I know that-' I say everything very quickly because I am very distressed but Luna interrupts me. 'I shouldn't expect you to tell me everything about yourself when you've only just met me,' she says kindly. 'So you don't have to feel guilty, and I can understand that you had a lot on your mind,' she says after a few seconds of silence. I'm amazed at the understanding she shows even though she has always been like that for the short time I've known her. 'I- I don't know what to say' I say still amazed by her understanding. She gets up from her desk chair and picks up some things I had prepared to put in my own bedroom in Gryffindor. 'Come let's go to your new bedroom,' she says and she gives me the bag with the clothes I bought this morning. I smile and we walk to my new home Gryffindor, together with all the stuff.

I came in with all the stuff and I saw Hermione sitting on the couch in the Common room reading a book, the moment she saw me she got up excited and walked towards me. 'Were room mates!' she said excited. It felt trusted because she reminded me of Daisy. Hermione took the things that Luna was carrying over and walked towards the stairs that led to the girls bedrooms. I gave Luna a hug 'See you tomorrow' I said calmly. 

'Welcome!' Hermione says as she opens her room door for me. With Jimmy on my arm and my things I walk inside. It had a totally different vibe than Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Ravenclaw was very dreamy and it gave you a heavenly feeling while Slytherin gave me a very dark but beautiful vibe, but Gryffindor was cozy and pleasant I felt right at home. 'Who else sleeps here?' I say while I look around and see 2 other beds. 'Partavi Pati and Fay Dunbar' she says while falling on a bed. 'This will be your bed,' she says. I am exhausted and dress to go to sleep. The room is round and there is one bed at each window. A double bed is something I was used to at home with my mother. The beds were made of a bit lighter wood than Draco's but these had also curtains on the sides of the bed but this one's are transparent and red, another difference than Draco's because his one are dark green and not transparent at all. I decide to lie down in my bed. 'Goodnight' I say to everyone when I turn around and close my eyes hoping that this was all a dream and that I will wake up at home in my own familiar bed. 'Good night.' I hear everyone saying tired. I feel Jimmy lying at my feet and that's the last thing I notice before I end up in a deep sleep.

A ray of sun falls on my bed right on my face. I complain and pull the blanket over my head. When I feel Jimmy crawling up under my sheets and my face started to lick I decide to get out of bed. I sit on the edge of the bed and rub my eyes tired. When I hear that everything is quiet next to the wind breeze blowing along the tower and soft sleep sounds from the girls in the other beds I assume I am the only one who is awake. 'Heyy Jimmy.' I whisper while petting him over his head. He spins circles on my pillow and eventually lies down. I sneak through the room and put on my clothes and decide to just walk around in Hogwarts to process everything from the last few days. Now that it is still quiet in Hogwarts, there is plenty of room for that. I pick up an empty book I bought in Diagon Alley, then I walk out of the Gryffindor Common room and look around me. Is there really no one awake? I wanted to go to Luna but I knew it was not allowed to just walk into other houses. I decide to find a quiet place to draw and write in the book. One of the few things that hasn't changed here. I walk through the corridors. It wasn't necessarily my intention but in this way I get to know the place a little bit. I see a spiral staircase going up at the end of the corridor. I walk up the stairs hoping for a quiet place to be alone. The cold approaches me when I'm halfway up the stairs. When I am upstairs I look around me. It is a tower with a beautiful view. The fog blocks the view that could be seen here without a doubt. I sit down against the pillar by the railing and open my book. When I realize how much I don't feel at home here I close my eyes and lower my head against the stone wall behind me.
