One night Claire Zabini wakes up crying and heads to the Slytherin common room not knowing that her crush was up because he couldn't sleep. Claire sees Scorpius in the velvety green armchair and approaches him saying, "Hey,"

"Hey, Claire." the male Malfoy replies.

"I couldn't sleep," she mutters and goes to sit in front of the green flames bewitched to stay burning.

"I couldn't either. Wait were you crying?"

Claire nods and says, "Yes, I didn't have a very good childhood after my mother died."

"Who was your mother and what happened?"

"My mom was Daphne Greengrass and my father is Blaise Zabini. When I was very young she died of dragon pox though I barely remember it my father does and he blames me for her death. He claims that if I never would have gotten that dragon's tooth necklace she wouldn't have gotten sick. I threw it away after she died and my father hates me now."

Claire didn't realize that the entire time she had been talking that Scorpius Malfoy had been holding her in his arms stroking her hair. But when she did realize it her cheeks began to heat up because she fancied him. 

Startled when he says softly into her hair, "I'm sorry that happened to you. It's not anyone's fault that your mom got sick things like that just happen. If you like I'll stay with you on the couch tonight to help you get to sleep."

"Would you really?"

"Yeah, I would."
