The person that nobody saw in him

Chapter 2

It was 9 o'clock in the evening. I made my way out of the hufflepuff common room. I wanted to go to my hide away spot again, the astronomy tower. It's been a few rough weeks at Hogwarts, herbalism class was good it is somewhat easy when it's something you love doing. Caring for plants is just something very relaxing just like care for magical creatures. I was so buys getting back into school stuff that I could forget my worries for the first weeks but now I'm used to the routine and my head wrapped around my dark thoughts again. I didn't want my parents to get trapped by you know who. I knew my parents would rather die in this fight than become deatheaters. What would I do without my family.

I finally made my way to the astronomy tower and took my usual spot on the boarder. I was caught in my thoughts so much I didn't saw him coming up to me. "At it again Hufflepuff?", Draco said. I turned around surprised again, like the first time a few weeks ago. "My God Draco you need to stop being so sneeky. Didn't you learn that you don't scare people that sit on the edge of a cliff?", I gave back sarcastically. He sat down next to me staring at the landscape.

I grabbed my purse and grabbed all my essentials. Draco was looking at what I was doing. He looked somewhat interested but of course he would not admit it. I ignored the extra pair of eyes staring at my hands and rolled up a nearly perfect joint and after that I putt my stuff back into my purse.

"Want to try it this time?", I asked him. Draco hesitated for a moment but I saw in his eyes that he was drained from something. "It's okay if you don't want to but I can't shake the feeling that you have something that stresses you out a lot and I think this is a diffrent sort of magic that could help you to relax for just a moment.",i said wile burning the excess paper away. I put it to my mouth and took the first Hit, as I exhaled the smoke I closed my eyes." Alright I want to try it out!", Draco said a little nervous.

" Okay great do I have to explain how smoking works or do you know how to do that?", I asked. "I never did something like this before but it can't be hard it's pretty self explaining I guess.",he frowned. I laughed almost dropping the joint. "Okay then if it's so self explaining here you go.", I giggled. I'm already a little high. Everything was somewhat funnier then normal and that felt good. Draco took the joint from my hand holding it like I do. He looked at it a little confused, then moved it to his mouth. He inhaled the smoke and immediately stradet to cough like crazy. I couldn't contain myself and busted out in loughter. I let myself fall back on the floor while Draco looked disgusted. He was trying to catch his breath. I took the joint from him and took a hit with ease looking him. "Want me to explain a little now?", I asked with a devilish grin on my face. He just nodded.

"Okay so you put it to your mouth and start to breath in but you keep the smoke in your mouth. It is important that you don't take a full breath because you want to inhale the smoke in your mouth. So it's kinda like a two step inhale and then you breath out. The first few time will be uncomfortable because your lungs are simply not used to the smoke. So coughing the first few times is completely normal. Got that?", I said. Draco looked at me with a little worry but there was something in his eyes that just said he's more afraid of the thing causing his stress then torturing his own lungs. I took another hit and gave him the joint again.

He took it with a little less confidence then the first time. He tried again following the steps I just explained. This time he managed to inhale way better then the first time but he still stared to cough a little bit. I took the joint back and took another hit myself. Draco tried to figure out what he was feeling now. I smiled slightly knowing exactly what he was feeling. "Woah is it normal that I feel so... dizzy and So..... I don't know.... funny I think. Hehe.", he said. "Yeah that's normal if you feel a bit dizzy you can lay back but better not close your eyes or you might get a little sick.",i responded.

He moved slowly trying to lay back on the ground. I took the last hit of the joint. I flicked the left over piece out the window and laid back as well. We looked at each other, Dracos eyes whee red and tired. He smiled lightly getting slowly comfortable with the feeling of being stoned. His body language shifted already, he was not so tense anymore and relaxed. I couldn't help but feel good and smile at him. He looked at me as well his gase going up and down on me.

"What?", I asked.
"Nothing I just didn't know you have piercings.",he laugh at his own statement. I looked up at my bellybutton, I didn't noticed that my shirt moved. I quickly pulled down my shirt starting to giggle a bit. "I got it in London when I was out with some friends. I was actually scared but it didn't hurt as much as I thought. I got a few more but that's irrelevant.",i joked. "Will you show me the others you got?", he asked. "No!", I almost yelled. Draco rolled to the side looking at me. He looked at me with a questionable face. "It's just..... There... There not in an area I will show you.", I blushed a little. "Ah alright I get it. You're embarrassed.", he joked. "Well yeah it's just private you know.",i replied.

"So where did you get them in London?", he asked still laying on his side. "It's a muggle studio in the city, my friends showed it to me and they all got one so I wanted one as well. After I got my bellybutton pierced I wanted another one and another one. So I went back there an got my ears pierced, more then once. I moved my hair to reveal my ear. I got my helix and then the tragus and the the conch." I pointed at the diffrent pieces of jewelry while explaining.

We talked for quite a bit of time. It was nice to see Draco laugh at some of my stupid stories. After all he seemed to be a quite nice person. I never saw this person in him but I liked this Draco. He seemed nice and like a true person to me. After I went to bed and I got sleepy my mind wandered again. Something in me stirred at the thought that this might be the real Draco but he could never show this to anybody. I fell asleep after the feeling of tiredness overwhelming me.
