Draco's POV

I was sitting on the ground next to the passageway to the Room of Requirement waiting for Ellie like we had planned. After the whole incident she promised to teach me the piano and I gladly accepted if it meant spending time with her. I heard walking and when I looked it was Lovegood and Ellie chatting and laughing together.

She saw me and smiled. I smiled back as they walked to me. I stood up and faced them, "Hey there." I said.

She chuckled, "Hey. Luna I'll see you later?" she asked. The blonde nodded and waved before walking away.

"You ready for your first lesson?" she asked with a smile. I smiled and nodded, "Definitely." I said. She nodded and we faced the wall.

We closed our eyes and the door appeared. She smiled and opened the door as I followed her. There in the middle of the room was a grand piano sitting.

Ellie breathed in as she walked to it. I watched her as she slowly lifted the cover of the keys. She licked her lips and trailed her fingers over them.

If I could, I would watch her as she reminisced. Her eyes shone recognition. I saw happiness and then sadness.

"Ellie?" I asked as I slowly walked to her. She looked at me and smiled. "Its just, it looks exactly like the one my dad used when he taught me." She said as she looked back at me. Her eyes glazed with tears that were threatening to fall.

"You're close with your father." I mumbled. She hummed and nodded, "Very much so." She said. She sat on the stool and she looked at me.

She patted the space beside her, "Here." She said as she placed my fingers on the keys.

My heart yearned for her touch. It seems so long since I have been this close to her. She pressed my fingers on the keys and I watched. Memorizing everything she was saying and pointing out.

I would glance at her and then the piano. She was filled with so much passion, my heart was bursting.

We were doing great, I could repeat what she was teaching me when suddenly she sniffled. I looked at her.

"Ellie? What's wrong?" I asked. She smiled and played, "Let me take your hand, I'll make it right. I swear to love you all my life"

I looked at her shocked. She smiled at me, she licked her lips and closed her eyes, "Hold on, I still need you." She sang as she finally let the tears fell.

I was frozen in my place, I didn't know what to do. "I don't wanna let go. I know I'm not that strong. I just wanna hear you." She cried out. I let her let it out and I felt tears on my cheeks.
