Still Draco's POV
I took long big steps down the hall in a hurry with Harry scrambling behind me trying to keep my pace.
I'm surprised he hasn't whined yet. That's what he usually does,he's useless. I heard Harry's big paints behind me. I know I have long legs but I don't think I'm walking that fast.
"Draco you don't have to go so fast you know"
Yup I knew he'd complain.
"It's only a few feet down"
he said painting
I twirled my head around looking into his eyes.

I scowled at him and rolled my eyes turning my head back around.
"Give me the map"
I demanded
"Well if you slowed down Malfoy maybe I could pass -it to you"
I gave him a dirty look while stoping in my tracks turning my heels around to face him.
He walked a few steps closer to me plopping the yellow orange sheet of parchment into my hands.
I looked at it squinting my eyes.
"She's right here it says"
I walked over to the room that was a few steps down from where I was originally standing.
It was a dark black wooden door much blacker and darker than any of the other light flushed brown colorings of the other doors. It had a golden handle like the rest but seemed almost rusted.

"Are you going to open the door or not?"
Harry asked in a soft whispering voice
Which I've never actually heard because he's a loud and obnoxious boy who can't seem to shut his—mouth.
"No I'm just going to stand in front of it"
I hissed rolling my eyes
I hovered over the cold and dusty handle.
Then I swirled my wrist trying to open the door.
The blue veins in my hand popping out more than they usually do. My mussels toughening.
I groaned.
It was locked.
It was fucking locked.

"Its locked"
I growled
"Brilliant"
Harry said sarcastically rolling his eyes and tapping his foot.
Like the dumb boy he is he stuck out his hand and pressed his knuckles to the door.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Potter!"
I yelled out scared of what might be behind the door because if it's Snape again I will see my doom.
"What!"
"Are you dumb!"
"Says you of all people"
He said sassily
I glared at him
Then all of the sudden.
———————————————————————————
"Why might you two young men be here?"
A cold and sharp voice interrupted.
His voice rough and bitter.
His scent lingering in my nostrils.
Smoke and old shoes.
It made the hairs in my nose straighten and spin making me want to faint.
His dark eyes starred at you almost like they would turn you into stone.
His wavy black hair curtained his face .
His face wrinkled and pale.

"Well- we- we were uhmm just looking around professor"
Potter blurted out trying to save us.
My chest heaved and breathes started getting heavier making my hands and fingers tense up.
"Why and what were you looking for might I ask"
Snape said in that slow old voice of his.
"We were just simply walking around"
Harry said trying to sound serious.
His eyebrows lifting.
"Together?"
Snape questioned
And as I think about it, it does seem weird for Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter to be walking down halls together.
"Well we bumped into each other I would never want to actually hang out with him"
I scowled rolling my eyes
Harry looked over to me and gave me a dirty look back.

"Well why were you up here then Mr Malfoy?"
Snaps eyebrow lifted into confusion
"I-I was just I-well I wanted to go on a nice stroll"
Ohhhhhh I'm so dumb I sound so stupid ugh.
STROLL who says STROLL!
"And may I ask the same for you mr Potter?"
Snape said slowly turning his head to look at harry
"I was doing the same thing as Malfoy professor"
Harry said
I looked over to him watching him speak  and then looking back up to see the monster that snape was.
Of course I love Snape but I really want to push him out from blocking the door and walk in trying to find Lillian.
"But it's after hours"
My eyes widened
Harry's did the same
We turned are heads and looked at each other with big bug eyes.

My heart raced out of my chest.
My gut moving in and out of my body.
My pulse in my throat beating aggressively.
My hands twitching.
My feet cold inside my warm shoes.
My knees buckling.
My lips half parted not knowing what on earth to-say.

"Can you two tell me why your out after hours"
I shook awake out of my frozen fear looking back away from Harry and to Snape still with my eyes -wide.
"I didn't notice the time"
I said shacking my voice up and down sounding like a 13 year old boy going through puberty.
"Maybe next time Mr Malfoy I will have to teach you how to read a clock"
Snape hissed back
slowly turning his head to see what Harry has to say.
"I got carried away not noticing as well"
"Detention both of you tomorrow I will have to teach you how to read a clock!"
Snape screamed
———————————————————————————
CRACK SMASH CRACK
———————————————————————————
A glass smashed inside the room making me jump.
Harry gasped and his eyes widened immediately.
Snape did not seem shocked.
He had the same exact face he had when we first started talking to him.
Stern as a brick.
You could probably smack him across the face and his expression would stay the same.
He slowly turned his head around looking inside the room at something.

It must have been LILLIAN!
IT HAS TO BE HER!
Me and Harry looked at each other.
His big green eyes digging through mine.
We looked back at the door.
It was closed.
I was looking back at the same black dark door like nothing had happened.
Me and Harry looked back at each other.

Sorry it took me awhile to publish I've been busy lately 💚
