Cold it was in the Malfoy Manor. Cold and loveless.
Still standing and not being able to do anything, the concern visible in my eyes, I stood there as the cold air touched my face, making me feel uneasy and unloved.
Lucius Malfoy and Draco were standing a few steps before me, Lucius' hand on the back of Draco's neck. Draco flinched at his touch slightly.
"Amused yourself?" Lucius asked lowly near Draco's ear as Draco's eyes were glued on the floor frightenedly.
"Mr. Malfoy, I just wanted to go outside with him-" I tried to put the blame on myself and get Draco out, but Lucius shut me up immediately.
"You know you've got work to do. All you are is a disappointment, Draco." He hissed lowly. "I'd expected great things from you. I thought you wouldn't let your father down and go out to-" he made no attempt to hide the disgust in his eyes "-forget any of your responsebilities and try to be happy. Because I'll tell you Draco, getting everything out of your head and blurring anything else out will only cause me problems. You will fix that cabinet, you hear me!" He spat and Draco closed his eyes for a very unnoticable and brief second in fear.
"Yes, father." He said almost inaudibly.
Lucius' grip tightened. "You know what, one day you're gonna grow up and see how things really are."
Tears welled up in my eyes slowly. My heart clenched in utter dejection by the sight of Draco.
Lucius pushed him harshly forward. Without looking at me, eyes still on the floor, Draco began to walk out and I after him.
And that day, we never spoke about it.
About a week later, at Hogwarts
Staring at my ceiling, I couldn't close my eyes and drift off to sleep. He was the only one I thought about, how hard he had it. I felt guilty for not being able to help, even though I tried to. I really did.
My feet touched the cold floor after I decided to go outside. With heavy eyelids, I made my way out of the castle and towards the black lake exhaustedly.
It was cold and I should be freezing, but I wasn't. I wasn't and it concerned me. It was as if I was already used to it.
My emotions, the feeling of utter sadness overtook me completely as I walked my way to free my mind from anything. To stop thinking for once and just look at the nightsky.
I stopped, the cold wind hitting my face, sending shivers down my spine. Draco stood there in front of the lake, hands in his pockets, hair flying in the wind slightly, head up and eyes in the long distance of the night.
I walked closer to him, only silently, softly. Just a few steps behind him I stopped. I came closer and stopped by his side, looking at his side profile.
"Draco" I whispered and with his tired eyes he looked at me. Dejection, misery, gloom and discomfort written in his eyes. Tears slightly visible in the corners.
"I hope I never grow up at all." He whispered, voice almost shaking slightly, referring to what his father had told him, and my heart hurt from it, from everything.
I hugged him tightly, letting his tears escape on my shoulder.
"I love you. And I know I'm no help with anything" I began, voice shaking "-but I love you so much, I'll always do and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know you'll do it and one day everything will be over, Draco." My voice got into a whisper in the end.
"You are a help, love. Alone your presence helps me with everything. Just when you're there, I forget about it all and only think about you."
I smiled at his words slightly, a weight getting lifted off my shoulders.
He pulled back from the hug and I looked up at him as he cupped my face softly, He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead and whispered
"You're more than I need. You're my everything."
