A dark secret

Did he just...?

I found myself sitting in the astronomy tower admiring the night sky. Last year I used sneak up here a lot to clear my mind from my nightmares. Having the cold fresh air fill up my lungs and hit my face has always calmed me down. Now I'm here hiding from another nightmare called Draco Malfoy. The door from the tower creaked open and footsteps echoed its way up.

"Go away, Malfoy" I moaned. I wasn't ready to speak to him.

"Luckily my last name isn't Malfoy" a soft voice spoke back to me, which made me spin my head around to see Harry standing on the other side.

"Oh" I lightly laughed. "And lucky for you I allow Potters to stay" I patted the ground gesturing for him to sit next to me. Which he did.

"I saw you rushing out of the Great Hall. And you looked distressed" he faced the night sky.

"So now you're stalking me Potter?" I smirked.

"I guess so" he laughed gently. "Wanna talk about it?"

I placed my head on his shoulders which made him tense up a bit. "I'm going to kill Malfoy one day" I took a deep breath and let all my body weight be held up by Harry's shoulder.

"I think you need to get in line" I laughed. "I'm guessing you spoke to him about Buckbeak and Hagrid" I nodded my head. "What did he say?"

"Oh you know that he is higher then everyone else and basically doesn't care if Hagrid gets sacked" I couldn't bring myself to tell Harry what might happen to Buckbeak.

"What an arse hat" Harry groaned.

"Harry!" I gasped lifting my head up facing him. We both stared into each other's eyes then burst out laughing. "He is bit of an arse hat isn't he"

It feel into silence. It was nice having someone else's company that wasn't a Slytherin. "Why are you nice to me?" Harry said. I looked at him confused like it was the most ridiculous question I've ever been asked.

"Why shouldn't I be nice to you? It's not like you've done anything to me" i answered. He just nodded and became quiet again. "You know not all Slytherins are stuck up"

"Yeah. Unfortunately that's not you" he smirked. I flew my hand to my heart and gasped.

An hour later I was heading into the Slytherin common room. I saw my friends sitting next to the fireplace laughing and decided to join them.

"Hey" I smiled and placed myself onto Blaise's lap. He looked up and gave me a small side hug.

"Where have you been?" Pansy asked.

"Just to the astronomy tower" I said. Pansy and Aurora both knew I sneak up there a lot, but they both think I go there to meet some boy. I never corrected them. It's more fun to see them beg me to tell them the boys name.

"I see" Aurora wiggled her eyebrows up and down. I just rolled my eyes. We all started to talk about what the first thing we are going to do at Hogmeade tomorrow when a certain blonde walks in and sits with us.

"The seat isn't good enough for you?"he scoffed at me.

"Nope rather prefer Blaise" I shifted my eyes towards the rest of the group. I hear him gag but I ignored him. Not going to let Malfoy get underneath my skin.

"Should we head up girls?" Aurora stood up. Pansy and I nodded and followed her to our room after saying goodnight to the boys.

"Okay what's going on between you and Draco?" Pansy asked after shutting the door and putting a charm on so no one would hear us.

"Nothing" I shrugged. I quickly got dressed into a pair of grey shorts and white crop top.

"Doesn't seem like nothing" Aurora added.
