FIX YOU

Chapter twenty

"What did Potter say?" Alex asked.

"Only that he had no idea and that Lupin never mentioned it, to anyone. He told me I have to write back. He's the only one with the answers" I told him.

"It's true. What you gonna write?" He wondered.

"Just that I want answers, now. I need to know everything" I answered.

I walked down the corridors alone after Astronomy, Mae and Nat said they had to run to the library to finish their potions essay for tomorrow. I decided to take the long way round as I didn't want to be alone in my dorm.

I lent against the wall and stared out the glass. The forbidden forest lined up perfectly and the stars were dotted all over the sky. The moon shone above all.

I had written to Remus. I told him that I want answers and he's the only one that can give them to me. He hadn't replied yet but it was fine I can wait.

I huffed and turned away from the window. I walked down the staircases and back to the dungeons.

Whilst walking down the last set of stairs I saw a flash of blond hair rushing down the corridors. Why would people still be up it's nearly one in the morning. I was intrigued so I followed.

As I got closer I realised who it was. Draco. What's he doing? He went all the way up to the seventh floor and then stopped. I came to a halt and hid behind the corner .

I peered round and saw him pacing back and forward past a wall. He looked around and I slipped back behind the wall. I heard a rumbling sound coming from where he was. When I stuck my head out from the wall he was gone. All I could see was a door engraved in the wall. That wasn't there a second ago.

Was it a classroom? Did it have a charm on it?

There's only one room I've read about that appears when you're in need or looking for something. The room of requirements. What would he want in there?

I ran up to the doors as they began to close. Luckily I managed to slip through before being crushed. They slammed shut and disappeared into the wall again.

Looking around the room was full of junk. Tables and chairs were stacked on top of each other. Jewellery was laid out on some tables. Fancy clothes covering each one. Old boxes were on shelves. Iron horses in cupboards. As I was about to inspect a beautiful tiara I heard a bang come from deeper in the room.

I turned away from the tiara and continued on to where the noise came from. I dragged my hand across tapestry's hanging from the celling getting dust on my fingertips. I blew it off and saw the beautiful blond standing in front of a tall black cabinet, his back facing me.

He put his hand up on the front and inspected it. He opened the cabinet and placed a green apple, that I saw him grab earlier from the great hall, and placed it down in the cabinet.

He closed the door and took his wand out from his suit pocket. He raised it and muttered a spell. I was to far away to hear exactly what he was saying. He opened the door and the apple had completely disappeared.

I knew exactly what that cabinet was. A vanishing cabinet, they were very common when Voldemort was at large. When he would come looking for you all you had to do was have two of them one in your house and then a twin somewhere else. Simple way to escape. Why would Draco be interested in that?

As I a adjusted my position I accidentally hit a glass vase off the table I was standing by. It fell to the floor and smashed at my feet. Fuck.

"Who's there?" He called. I heard him getting closer. I could run I had no idea where I was to go. "Come out now!"

I stayed behind the tower of tables and waited for him to find me. I heard his footsteps behind me and I closed my eyes. I waited a few more seconds and then he said, "Serena"

I opened my eyes slightly and turned to his body. He was as paler than St Nicholas. His eyes were dark and dull. He looked exhausted. I only saw him hours before and he looked fine but now he had changed.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I could ask you the same thing" I said.

"Well I asked you first. We're you following me?" He questioned.

"Yes and no" I answered.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked.

"Yes and no. No because I was going back to my dorm but then I saw you and then I decided to see what you were doing" I explained.

"So you were following me" He snapped

"Ok! Maybe I was following you, so what?" I exclaimed.

"Did Potter put you up to this?" He wondered.

"No! Why would he do that?!" I said .

"You two are getting close" He muttered.

"Is that a problem?" I raised my eyebrows at him.

Was he for real? It's Harry Potter for Merlin sakes.

"For a matter of fact it is, yes! You finally get out of your fucking room after weeks and you go to Potter, then you go after Pansy and then tell me you'll see me around." He yelled.

"I don't see why that's a problem" I exclaim.

"That's because you're fucking blind. Everyone thinks you're so smart but you can't even see that I'm crazy for you!" He shouts.

"What?" I mumble.

"You heard me, I'm mad for you. Can't you see that. I have been for years. Boys throw themselves at you and it pisses me right off. When you're with anyone but me it makes my blood boil." He says.

"How do I know you're not lying to me. You've done this before." I tell him.

"When you walk into a room you make all my worries disappear. I would do anything for you, as long as you're safe. That's why at first I ignored you and told you to stay away. I'm not good for you Serena. You deserve someone like Bennet not me, not the broken boy with a broken life" He said.

I could hear the heartbreak in his voice. He was really was broken and I was willing to fix that.

No matter what it takes.

"I think I might love you Serena" He said.
