The silver trio

Reunited

I clamber out of bed quietly at around 9:50 pm. I take a look outside, it's dark and foggy.
I grab a sweater and make my way down to the common room. There's only one dim candlestick lit in the corner. As i exit the room i blow it out.
On the way to the astronomy tower i find myself wondering what i'm going to say. The way i wrote the letter, i made it seem urgent. It felt urgent at the time but now i'm not sure why i felt that way. Did i need to tell him something? The thoughts keep me occupied as i walk up the gloomy staircase to the tower.

Once i arrive at the spot, i immediately see Draco, standing with his back to the wall, gazing at the moonlight.
"Crescent moon tonight", He says without turning his head to look at me.
"Pretty", i whisper.
He turns around fully to face me.
"Is everything okay, (Y/N)?", he asks.
"Yes of course", i say.
"Oh, when i read your letter i thought something must've happened?", he says confused.
"No, no, nothing happened", i say, sheepishly.
"So why did you bring me here", he asks.
"I wanted to see you", i lift my eyes to meet his.
"i see", he whispers.
"I missed you, Draco", I say softly.
"You did?", he asks.
"Yes. Us not talking made me realise how much you really mean to me", I gulp.
"You mean that?", he says, unsure.
"Of course i do. I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.".
He smiles, "I missed you too, but you know that already", he laughs.
"Maybe i do, maybe i don't", i grin.
He rolls his eyes and pushes me playfully.
I push him back, a little too hard and he falls to the ground. I gasp, "i'm so sorry Draco, are you alright?", i say.
He grabs me by the shin and pulls me down with him. I scream and without warning, i land on top of draco, my face so close to his i can feel his breath against my skin.
His eyes connect to mine like a magnet.
"(Y/N)", he whispers.
"Yes", i say to scared to move or to breath.
"I want you to know...that i love you...okay?", he says softly.
His grey eyes flicker, his breathing becomes shaky.
"I love you too Draco".
He keeps his eyes locked tightly onto mine.
"No matter what happens.", he says and i cant tell if he's saying it or asking me for reassurance so i repeat him.
"No matter what happens", i whisper.
"Always", he says.
I collapse into his arms as he hugs me tightly and for a simple second i feel as though i am indestructible, infinite. Here in Draco's arms nothing can hurt me, no one can touch me. It's just me and him right now and the world is quiet and peaceful. If i could stay like this forever, i would never be fearful again.

He helps me up and we walk down together, back to the common room.
"Does this mean i'll be seeing you at breakfast tomorrow?", he grins, the light from his wand glimmering in his eyes.
"Yes, i think so".

The next morning i wake feeling tired, but content. I dress myself in no rush and make my way down to the great hall slowly, taking in the morning solitude.
As i walk in, Harry waves to me. My eyes move from Draco and Blaise to the trio. Back and forth and back and forth until i find myself making my way to Draco and Blaises table.
"You're back?", Blaise says excitedly.
I force him into a tight hug.
"I'm back", i say into his shoulder.
"I was beginning to go insane", Blaise says.
I laugh, "I hope you were well behaved while i was gone".
"He wasnt", Draco sighs.
"I'm always well behaved", he announces before shoving a greasy sausage into his overstuffed mouth.
"Right", i say as i grab some pumpkin juice.
"First class, potions", Draco huffs.
"Cant wait", Blaise says sarcastically.
"Jeez, i definitely don't miss your negative attitudes", say.
"Yes because Ron is certainly a ray of sunshine", Draco says.
"Im a ray of sunshine", Blaise says happily.
"Yes Blaise you are", Draco says patting him on the back.

In potions, Harry sits down next to me.
"You okay?", he whispers.
"Yes why wouldn't i be?", i mutter.
"This morning, you sort of ignored me".
"Oh, sorry, i really wasn't ignoring you i just wanted to say hi to Blaise, haven't talked to him in a while because of all the drama ".
"So you and Draco are all okay again?".
"Yes, i think so", i glance at Draco across the room, he catches me looking and smirks.
I blush ever so slightly. Harry seems to notice, "Oh, i see", he says.
"Mhm?", i mumble barely paying attention.
"You and Draco. I always thought there was something going on with you two.", he says bitterly.
"What?", i say a little too aggressively.
"It's alright, a lot of girls in our year have boyfriends now. It's normal", he says.
"Yes i understand that Harry but me and Draco are just friends", i explain.
"You could've fooled me", he says harshly.
"Harry?", i say, astounded at this sudden accusation.
"Sorry. Just forget about it", he says, his cheeks flooded with colour.
He turns away from me and i decide to leave him alone for the rest of the class. I have more important things on my mind.

At dinner we discuss Sirius.
"No ones said much about him recently", Blaise says.
"Too scared to", Draco says.
"Sirius...Oh no", i say, dropping my knife and fork.
"What's wrong?", He asks.
"I completely forgot! I was supposed to meet Professor Lupin this morning, he was going to tell me about Sirius and my dad. How could i be so stupid!", I exclaim.
"It's okay, i'm sure he'll understand (Y/N)", Blaise comforts.
"I'm all over the place recently", i sigh.
"It's my fault, you were just tired from last night", Draco says, sympathetically.
"Tired from last night?", Blaise chirps. I whack him with the back of my hand. "OW", he says.
"Shut up Blaise", Draco says.
"How come i wasn't invited to this little extravaganza", he asks humorously.
"Because YOU can't take anything serious.", i say.
"I CAN take things serious", he begins.
"Just not you and Draco", he grins.
Draco shoots him an angry look.
"I'm gonna go see if i can find him now", i say, getting up.
"You sure?", Draco asks.
"Better late then never". 
"Let us know what he says", Draco says.
"And stay safe.", says Blaise.
"The next person to tell me to stay safe is getting stabbed in the chest with my wand", i think to myself as i walk away.
