la douleur exquise (n.) - the heart-wrenching pain of wanting the affection of someone unattainable.

The common room was warm and cozy as I took off my snow soaked boots and curl up on the couch.
I felt better about how Theo and I finally talked and resolved things.
Some First-Years were playing with an apple as I sat in the common room.
Hermione, Ron, and Harry still weren't back yet and it seemed like I was the only one out of the quartet in the common room.
The trio had finally made it back into common room looking bleak.
Hermione told me all about Hagrid losing the case for Buckbeak and how the Hippogriff was scheduled to be executed.
"What? T—that's just insane!" I exclaim.
There was no way I was gonna let Buckbeak be executed especially since he was innocent.
"There has to be something we can do" I say lowly looking at Harry.
My eyes were brimming with tears as Hermione hands me the tear soaked letter Hagrid had written her.
I fling my arms around Hermione and ball into her shoulder.
"Oh, what are we gonna do?" I mutter in between sobs.
Hermione rubs my back soothingly looking like she was on the verge of tears herself.
The four of us take a seat on the couch trying to collect ourselves.
I sniffle, wiping the stray tears from my cheeks as I look at everyone.
"I'll try and talk to Draco about the verdict" I choke out raspily. "in the mean time we all need to put our heads together and work on the appeal"

The only time we were able to speak to Hagrid was during our Care of Magical Creatures lesson the next day.
I couldn't bear to talk to him feeling so guilty about not even helping at all.
I was busy making my way over towards Draco while the trio went to speak to Hagrid.
It hurt knowing he was about to lose Buckbeak.
Draco was surrounded by his usual posse as I stalk up towards them.
"We need to talk" I state.
Pansy gives me a glare but I have no time to play petty games with her.
Draco seemed to sense my seriousness as he follows me so we could talk.
"You need to tell your father not to execute Buckbeak" I say tensely.
Draco gives me a stare before completely laughing in my face.
"Why would I do that?" he questions. "you wanna make Potter fall in love with you?"
