                            Still Draco's POV
I zoomed through the halls. Turning sharp corners.
Walking straight and fast. I was a few corners away from the library. Walking fast I tripped.
Almost face planting but quickly caught myself with my hands. I groaned picking myself up. I jerked my head around side to side seeing if anyone has seen that. Luckily no one was around.

I kept on trudging to the library as if nothing—embarrassing has happened. Once I finally got to the library I stopped for a second thinking if I should go in. It could totally be one of the Weasley twins pranks again. Last time they pranked me was forth year.
I was in the great hall and taking my first bite of food without knowing they put a stupid charm on it to turn me green. People shrieked at me running from they're seats. I was so mad at that those dimwitted 
Red heads who can't seem to mature and yet I still am mad.I stood there frozen not moving a muscle in my body. But If it wasn't one of there pranks I would regret everything.

I took my hand out touching the handles of the heavy doors. I twisted the handles and pushed through the doors. Students looked at me squinting as tho they are trying to figure out if it's truly me.
They looked utterly confused to see Draco Malfoy in the library. I don't blame them I haven't been in this library for months. Everything looks the same from fifth year tho.  I took a few steps looking for the three. There they were sitting at the back of the library whispering dragging there fingers on the same exact old piece of parchment.
"Guys!"
Hermione screeched

The two boys picked there heads up looking at me.
"What took you so long Malfoy?"
Harry asked with an annoying look on his face I could reach over and slap it right off.
"I'm sorry I don't trust you guys"
"Well you should because look"
Hermione said in a soft voice twitching her head to the seat across from them. I took a few steps forward grabbing the chair and sitting comfortably in it.
Hermione pushed the piece of parchment over to me turning it around so I could read it properly.
In big letters it said—
                   THE MARAUDERS MAP
I saw names of every student in the school and there footsteps all over Hogwarts.
"What is this?"
I asked scrunching up my nose and squinting my —eyes.
"This is the marauders map you can see where anyone is anytime of the day"
Hermione told me
"And so why is this something to do with a dead -person?"
"Look!"
Harry pointed aggressively

There it was. The only girl in the world that I loved.
Her beautiful name floated over footprints on the paper. I starred at the page my eyes glistening.
"I-is that L-Lillian"
I chocked out eyes still glued on the page.
"Yes which means she's alive"
Hermione said
"That's where she is so we need your help to try and find her"
"How do we know she's not a ghost tho?"
Ron chimed in
"Haven't I went over this Ronald, the map does not show dead people! You never learn"
Harry and I sat there speechless looking at—Hermione yell.

"Shhhh!!!!"
Madam pince shushed
"Anyways"
Hermione whispered
"We were thinking you and Harry could go looking for her footprints"
I looked back down at the large sheet of yellow parchment seeing her footprints pace back and forth.
"Why does it have to be us"
Harry whined
I looked back up
"Shove off Harry your just mad that girls actually —like me"
I scowl
He rolled his eyes and looked at Hermione.
"You guys need to actually kinda like each other and-please don't kill one and other on the way"
"Harry makes that really hard"
"Shove off malfoy let's just go"
Harry got out of his seat grabbing the map from in front of me and started to walk.
"You coming?"
He asked sassily

LUMOS!
We walked down the dark halls with the light of are wands guiding our path trying to find the footprints.
"Harry"
"What!"
He snapped
"I found a room before that Snape made me get away from before I could get in"
"Where was it"
"Seventh floor I remember can I lead the way?"
"Ugh fine whatever"
Harry rolled his eyes as I led the way through the halls.
We walked are way up the long stair cases.
"Are her footsteps even leading this way Malfoy"
"Yes well close I just need to see if this is her room"
"What if it is?"
Harry asked
"Then we'll know and then find her in the room close —to it"
"How close is she to the room?"
"Geez you ask so much questions, she's about two rooms down now shut up!"
"Geez someone needs a nap"

I turned my head around and gave him a dirty look rolling my eyes and looking back down the hall.
"I see the room!"
I shouted speed walking
"Shut up Malfoy your going to get us caught!"
I huffed and walked slowly making delicate footsteps to the door.
I put my hand out and slowly opening the door trying to make the lowest of noises possible.
I walked in the icy room shivering slightly Harry followed along. It was a plain small room with a pale white desk in the corner and a window in front of the desk that peered to the outside, there was a small twin sized bed that was grey and black colored, there was a small wooden wardrobe and a door leading to a bathroom. It was very plain only with a few things on the desk I didn't recognize.

"Come on let's go to the room she's in"
"Ok"
"Is there anything in here that reminds you of her?"
I looked around once more to find my eye catching the journal on the white desk.
It was a normal brown journal with some glistens of gold and that was the exact journal she would write in. I opened it up. I saw my name pop up in the passages I had no time to read the things but it had to be her.
"Draco?"
"Cmon do you want to find her!!!"
Harry yelled
I jerked my head up
Looking at him dead in the eyes.

"This is her journal"
"Really?!?!"
Harry said coming over to look over my shoulder
"Let's go get her come on!"
Harry exclaimed
