"Draco?" I find the boy on the couch, his hands over his face, "Draco?" I kneel down so I am staring up at his shaky figure, I place my hand on his knee, his hands snapping away from his face, revealing his puffy red eyes, and tear stained cheeks.

I frown at his state, the boy worried so much for something he didn't do, my heart ached for his breaking one, "I killed her" he crocked out, his voice breaking, his hands shaking violently.

"No," I took his hand in my free one, stopping his shaking, "you didn't, you didn't kill her, she is okay, she'll be fine" I speak softly, as if I was speaking to a frightened child, "she's okay, I promise" I take his other hand pulling them together, "you didn't do anything, Draco, you hear me, you Did Not Kill Her!" I pronounce, his eyes lifting to meet mine, the grey storms full of relief and remorse.

His body wasn't shaking but his voice was, "I could have" he put his head back down, pulling his hands away from mine, I stood up, still in front of the boy, I closed the small space leaning into him, resting his head on my stomach as I pulled him into a needed hug. He sobbed, harshly breathing in as his held his face in his hands, letting me hug him but not daring to hug me back, but also not pushing me away.

The Gryffindor VS Slytherin match, everyone knew, and everyone was excited, I was excited, the match was only hours away and I was betting on Gryffindor to win, apparently Ron was the new keeper, I was happy to see him playing.

I was sitting at the house table far away from the three I avoided, hoping not to be noticed by them I ate in silence, keeping my mind on my food and my eyes on my plate, getting emptier and emptier by the second, I hurried to finish, but I wasn't quick enough.

"Hello Mia!" Luna's airy voice greeted, I found myself staring at her costume, a giant lions head brilliantly made, "I haven't seen you for a long while, keeping busy I assume?" she smiled, how does she always have the effect of making you think she knows everything you're thinking? It's terrifying.

"Yes, very busy" I smile back going back to my meal.

"Well I can tell you don't want to talk right now, but that's alright, I'll see you later," she gets up from her side of the table walking further down to greet others.

Thank you, Luna, I grinned.

"Hello everyone," she greeted the three, my grin dropping, "you look dreadful Ron," she noticed, "is that why you pu-" I stood up, not wanting to get noticed if Luna pointed me out, even though I doubt she would.

I headed towards the pitch, where the stands were already filling up with students and staff.

Cheering, screaming, yelling, that is the main events of Quidditch, because the commentator is barely heard, if you can't see the match you don't know who is winning, and in my short-arse case, that was the result, the Gryffindors in front of me stood taller than me, leaving me with no idea what was going on, biggest game of the year and yet I couldn't see it, hear it, or be in it.

Up until the crowd started cheering, "WEASLEY! WEASLEY! WEASLEY!" I knew we were going to win, and that was all I needed, so I headed back to the castle, shuffling through the crowd of enthusiastic students, I wondered down the stairs, and around the stadium, stopping when I saw Harry flying overhead trying to catch the snitch.

Mia, it has been months remember, no feelings. Only this time it was worse knowing he was probably moving on, knowing he could barely stand to look in my direction anymore, looking up at Harry I was happy for him, but I wanted to be near him, to do everything in my power to have him be mine again. I smiled widely to myself, that day will come, that day will come and I will make sure of it, skipping back to the castle, trying to get the grin off my face before anyone ask any questions.
