31 - Hospital Talk

The corridors were almost completely dark, the only source of light came from the dim-lit torches. My foot steps would echo throughout the empty corridor. It would happen in 4 days, 4 days left of peace. The last 4 days i would be attending this school. Father had informed me that i would no longer be needed at Hogwarts, he needed me by his side. He's grown very protective of me and the danger around me. He started to treat me like Nagini, always wanting me at his side.

" So he took a love potion and then got poisoned, how is that possible" I heard from the other end of the corridor. It was a familiar voice, Grangers.

I sped my pace and saw that they had came our the hospital wing. Both with distraught looks on their face, mostly Grangers. They walked away towards their common room giving me a chance to see who the injured was.

The door creaked open slightly making me cringe hoping no one had heard it. I looked around the beds trying to find who they had been talking about. I reached the middle and know understood why Granger was so worried, it was Ron.

My eyes widen at the sight of him at a hospital bed. He stirred in his sleep making me jump slightly walking away.

" Cassiopeia?" I heard behind me making me sigh, i should really mind my business these days.

" Ronald" I said back facing him. He sat up on the bed with a confused look across his face.

" Why are you here" He questioned.

" I came to visit someone that's in here" I lied straight through my teeth, his brows furrowed in confusion.

" I-uh- I'm the only one in here" I mentally slapped myself across the face for not noticing. I looked around and he was right, the other beds were completely empty.

" Right, i'll get going now" I said pointing towards the door.

" Hermione told me what happened the other night" He called out before i left. My breath had disappeared, i really didn't want to talk about my feelings nor explain them.

" Brilliant" I smiled forcefully.

" Can we talk, about the situation, i'm stuck here the whole night might as well talk now" He pointed to himself sighing.

" I don't think that's a good idea, i don't think it'll ever be a good idea" I told him trying to avoid the talk.

" You were my sister Cassiopeia, you broke my heart probably more than any girl will or has broken it. Not only mine but my whole family. Fred and George stopped doing pranks for half a year, you know those two live for pranks" My hands started to burn slightly as little amount of black smoke left my palms.

" Ron drop it" I warned him as i clenched my palms but the smoke flew from the cracks in my fingers.

" Cassiopeia i miss my best friend, my sister. I know she's still in there." He got up slowly looking down at my palms. He slowly brought his hands on top of mine, he didn't hiss in pain- i didn't burn him.

My heart felt like it did a 360. It ached as his hands were placed on mine. He abruptly swung his arms around me shoving my face into his chest. My heart was beating a thousand miles per hour.

" You will always be my sister Cassiopeia no matter how fucked you may be, always" That was enough for my heart, it felt like every chain around it had broken. I felt completely sadness take over me.

My whole body was producing black smoke but that didn't make him let go, he hugged me tighter. He had me in a brotherly hug as he always did when we were kids. Him and I were nothing but best friend soulmates, i knew he would never be replaced.

" I'm sorry Ron, i'm so sorry" I said into his chest wrapping my arms around him.

" You will always be forgiven Cassiopeia" He kissed the top of my head sweetly before pulling away looking at me in the eye.

After he pulled away from the embrace the chains around my heart slowly started to close. The sadness started to disappear into nothing.

" I know you have good inside you, use it" He said before walked towards the restroom in the corner of the hospital wing.

" Is there?" I question more to myself than him.

I quickly sped out the hospital wing towards the astronomy tower. Looking at the stars always helped me relax, Merlin knows i needed that right now.

I rushed up the stairs, my foot steps heavy on the stairs. I pushed open the door letting in the cold may air. The stars are shining bright in the sky, illuminating the earth along with the moon.

" What got you so flustered" I heard from behind me making me jump slightly, letting out a breath of relief when i saw the source of where the voice came from.

" Shouldn't you be resting those scars are going to look nasty if you don't" I questioned trying to avoid his.

" Couple scars won't hurt my physical appearance much" He shrugged his shoulders.

I nodded and looked back to the stars. They were truly beautiful. They were such a mystery each one of them was different in their own way. All made the same way but came out different.

" I see you have a liking for stars" He said behind me.

I let out a breath and nodded, " yeah" I said looking toward the Draco constellation that was brighter than the other days.

" One day i'll get you the stars" His hand snaked around my waist pulling me into his body heat, warming me up immediately.

" That's impossible" I laughed at the thought of Draco trying to catch a star.

" It may be but with you everything is possible" His head rested on my shoulder as he let out a big breath.

We were both stressed. We were both trying to grasp onto as much tranquility as possible. After we left this year tranquility would never exist.

" Impossible you mean" I couldn't love him, my father had him threatened, i was a murder who he had no future with.

" Only fate will be able to decide who's right" He wrapped his arms around me a little tighter.

" I talked to Ron at the hospital wing, he was poisoned i think by the bottle that was supposed to go to Dumbledore, it couldn't just been a coincidence" I told him looking out towards the dark forest that covered the school grounds.

" What did you talk about" He said avoiding the poison part.

" He forgave me, he said something about good inside me and that i should use it. I want to believe that he is maybe right but i know there probably isn't. A good person doesn't kill, a good person doesn't have a murder as his father, a good person loves, all of that is something i can't do" I sighed thinking about the talk with Ron.

" Maybe this Cassiopeia isn't nice but the inside Cassiopeia is an angel you just need to let her out" He pointed towards my heart.

If only it was that simple.

If only my life was simple but then again what life is simple. No life would be a life without obstacles. My obstacles happened to be bigger than everyone else's. Obstacles that cannot be passed and meant for failure.
