Day 4

Song=Love in the dark-Adele (Quite literally)

Draco

I had watched Potter all day. Probably even when I thought I hadn't.

I had watched the look on his face shrivel as I completely denied our conversation from yesterday. I watched his eyes burning with shock as I made him trip on the shore. But what had caught my attention the most, was the way everything in Potter's face crumbled as he stared at his phone screen.

Something had happened while everyone else was too busy looking at their own phones s and I believed that I had been the only one to see Potter's face when it had happened. I just- I didn't necessarily enjoy the pain crossing his face. Instead, I felt curious, my stomach slowly twisting with nerves, and that was what scared me.

I had watched him with long eyes as he made a turn on his feet to check if anybody had seen his reaction, quickly handing in his phone and taking off towards the woods.

I couldn't help but follow him. But as I entered that tent, I realized I had made a huge mistake and began regretting it instantly.

Potter was sitting with his legs brought to his chest, staring into the air. His mouth formed a thin line, the glasses completely hiding his eyes in the dark. But it couldn't hide the low sniffles that escaped him.

This was the perfect opportunity to make a comment. But I didn't. I couldn't. This was something else– Something that I had no place in.

I slowly turned around unable to see if he'd noticed my presence. But as I started my motion towards the opening, Potter's eyes opened and everything in my body stopped.

Light flickered from the tent opening and as I held his gaze I felt my heart speed up. Every moment I stood silently here was a choice, and we both knew it.

Both he and I were surprised to find myself slowly turning around and sitting down on the cold ground of the tent.

For what felt like hours we did nothing but look at each other in silence and as I watched small tears run down from the corners of his green eyes, it was obvious he was making no attempt to stop them.

He was the one who broke the silence."You shouldn't be here."

His eyes were still locked on mine as the moment grew longer.

"I know," I murmured.

What am I doing here? A voice in my head said.

"What happened?" I don't know how it happened, but suddenly I found myself asking the question.

My breathing quickened and Potter looked startled by the question.

"Nothing important," He muttered.

I placed my hand around my legs as I pulled them up under myself just as Potter had done.

"Clearly it was," I said, slowly leaning my head forwards.

He tensed. Hurt flashed in his emerald eyes as he unconsciously wiped his cheek. "I don't see why I have to tell you. You clearly don't care anyway."

I turned my head and looked away. Somehow, the words cut deeper than I thought they would've. I hesitated before I muttered, "I don't don't care, I..."

Potter looked at me confused.

What was I doing? This was the boy who took the Quidditch spot from you. Turned you down at one of your greatest moments. Tricked you when you were so close to victory.
