Navigating Hogwarts

Chapter 11

"Draco! You scared me man" I whispered.

"You know that there's a killer on the lose right?"

"So"

"He might be after you! It's not safe to leave the Hall"

"Come one Draco, what's life without a little risk"

He started me in the eye with a worried and serious look. "Teachers are in the castle looking for him, what if they find you"

"They won't. Come on" I pulled his hand with me as I was now running again through the hallways. I recognized the door from the astronomy tower and run up.

Just like last time, the view was beautiful. The stars were bright and the sky was clear.

"It's beautiful" I hang against the railing.

"It sure is" Draco wasn't even looking at the sky. So annoying when guys just agree with everything you say.

Draco and I were just sitting there in silence for a couple of minutes.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked me.

"Life" I sighted, "it's weird right. One moment we're just happily walking in Hogsmeade, not giving a care in the world, the next moment there is a serial killer in the school"

"Why do I get the feeling that you're afraid?"

"I'm never afraid"

"Yes, you're Skye" Draco chuckled, "it's okay to admit it"

"I'm not afraid of anything"

"Everyone is afraid of something"

"Then what are you afraid of, Draco"

"I'm not going to tell you"

I sighted and looked back up at the sky. Then I jumped and set on top of the railing, feet hanging above the high ground.

"Make sure you're not falling" Draco told me concerned, "it is very high up there, you won't make it out alive if you fall down"

"I survived an attack from Voldemort on my family, I'm sure the odds are in my favor"

Draco took a step behind me, holding my arm to make sure I won't fall. How lovely but unnecessary.

"Grabbe and Goyle, why are you friends with them?" I asked Draco. It was something that has been bothering me for the last couple of weeks. Those two scared the crab out of me.

"Our parents are friends," he explained to me, "plus they need someone to follow. Those two would be lost without me. Jealous?"

"Deathly"

"But I could say the same for you and Blaise, can't I? Always together, I've never seen him so tight against a person."

"He must deeply adore me then"

"I think he likes you"

"Jealous?" I smirked at him.

"Deathly"

I looked Draco in his soft grey eyes, sparkling in the moonlight. I could feel his warm breath against my checks, feeling the contract of the cold wind around it. I don't think I ever noticed how much his eyes reminded me of the moon, I only know this guy for 1 months, that probably why, but still. I adore the moon, it's beautiful and calm. Just like Draco, both calm.

"Look who we've got here" it was Snape's deep voice that now joined our conversation. "Miss Potter and mister Malfoy. You think the rules didn't apply for you?"
