I lean against the railing of the astronomy tower inhaling the deep scent of weed as i look up into the sky. I slowly exhale the smoke and let out a little sigh as i look down at the height of the building but it never bothered me. Back at the Diamond manor i would always got to the rooftop to get some fresh air. Away from the suffocating air inside. Even though the manor was high it wasn't as high as the clouds but it still felt nice to be closer to them.

You could see over the trees swaying in the wind and some birds flying over them. I'd always look out for the owls that swept over them to deliver 'very important' letters to my parents, wishing it was one from Draco inviting me to escape the hell whole that was supposed to be my home. But that was years ago. I haven't been on that rooftop for what's felt like a decade. I don't know if i missed it. But i was used to the silence of it. I guess the astronomy tower just reminded me of it.

I felt a presence show up next to me and saw his platinum blonde hair from the corner of my eye. "Don't jump. You'll regret it." He orders as he leans his back against the railing. I let out a short giggle and turn my head to him. "You really think i would jump?" I offer him the weed in my hand and he gladly accepts. He raises his eyebrows at me shrugging his shoulders to my question as he brings the joint to his lips. He takes a deep breath in and it contours his jawline against the moon. God i was always jealous of his jawline.

The smoke exits his mouth in one blow as he turns back to me, his body leaning on the railing like mine. "I wouldn't not think it. I mean I've probably thought about it once or twice. Considering our families we have the right to" he takes another inhale off the joint as i turn my body to him with slightly furrowed eyebrows. I bite my lip as i wait for him do breathe out. He rolls his eyes lightly and turns to me as well as he blows the smoke to the side. "Don't get all worried that I'm gonna kill myself ok? Im not" he raises his eyes slightly to convince me. "Plus the thought of always having you shut those thoughts down before they even crossed my mind" he shrugs as he hands the joint back to me. The words that left his lips start to warm my heart a little bit but it skips a beat as his signature smirk drops slightly when he looks deeply into my eyes with a look i dont see on him often. Its silent for a second but i remember him moving on after that weird moment in the bathroom so i try to as well. i let out a small smile "did Draco Malfoy just try to be-

"Oh fuck off" he scoffed as he turns his head towards the sky. "Whats your excuse for skipping curfew without me?" He returns his signature smirk as he looks down at his still hands. "Needed time to think" i shrug as i note his normal harsh tone. I inhale the joint slowly as Draco looks towards me rolling his eyes. "What in the clouds?" He takes the joint out my hands and brings it to his own lips. As i breathe out i pout at the comment.

"So how'd you find me?" I ask as i turn my body towards him with a playful smile on my face. He lets out an annoyed sigh as he exhales smoke. "I wasn't looking for you." He shrugs and clears his throat slightly. "Mhm sure" i say as i go for the joint but Draco leans it further away. I give him a glare but his face stays the same resting annoyance. "Soph its nearly gone your gonna be high as a kite if you have this on your own." He puts it further away behind him as if reaching for it, stepping a bit closer so that our body's our inches from touching. "Draco seriously give it" i say stepping into his body to reach as he just extends his arm. "No." He replies as his eyes look down to mine in a demanding tone. I pause my annoyance as his eyes slowly trail down from my eyes and stop on my lips. I scoff slightly before pushing him on his chest but he doesn't move at all. "Dick" i mumble as i lean my back against the railing. He lets out a little sigh as he takes another inhale.

There's a comfortable silence until he exhales and i can feel his eyes on me. "Whats up?" He asks casually but keeps his eyes on me. "I don't know the sky?" I furrow my eyebrows but he just stands right in front of me, raising his eyebrows. "Soph. You only smoke alone when you have a lot on your mind. So what's wrong?" He asks a hint of worry in his eyes as he looks into mine. I let out a little sigh and close my eyes for a moment before opening them. "Do you think my whole 'no boyfriends' thing is stupid? I know I'm doing it because i don't want to be like my parents but I'm just leading people on and making everyone's lives harder. I mean i feel like this whole rule is more like my parents then anything, using people and forgetting about them and just focussing on the important things like work-

Draco grabs me by the side of my arms making me look into his eyes. And then pulls me in for a tight hug, my head buried in his neck. "Sophia, you will never be like your parents" he mumbles into the hug which makes my eyes water slightly as i let go of the hug and nod slightly. god he always knows the right thing to say at the right time. Which feels impossible considering he's horrible with his own emotions. "We will never be like our parents" i correct with a small smile on my lips. I know he acts all proud of his father but i know he never wants to have their life. He just feels forced and trapped. But I'd never let that happen to him. Make him live a life in misery.

...

I peep into the empty tent, the wind blowing at a pace. "Can i come in?" I ask grabbing Harry's attention from the other side of the big marque. He sends me a nod with a little smile and as i walk towards him i see the cuts and mud and instantly throw my hands around him hugging him. "That dragon looked awful" i mumble into his shoulder and he just hugs me tightly. When i pull out of the hug he looks into my eyes with a shy smile. "That was bloody terrifying" he speaks up before grabbing some of his things.

I waited for a while after the 1st challenge, i could tell that Harry was hiding something when he got that golden egg. He looked lifeless. And i was worried. So as everyone was rushing off i told Draco and Ed I'd catch them up then i waited for everyone to leave the contestant tent. Wanting to make sure Harry was ok. Wasn't alone in his thoughts.

"Are you ok?" I raise my eyebrows concerned and his smile drops a bit as he nods quickly, looking to the floor. "Yeah. I mean as ok as i could be considering." He fiddles with his fingers as he speaks not making eye contact. I grab his hands lightly and he looks up to me immediately. He sighs lightly and looks to the side of me before looking back. "It's just- why me? Why is it always me? It could be anyone else but it is always me. Not that i would ever wish this on anyone but why is it always me?" He repeats sadness and anger mixed in his eyes. I bit my lip lightly not sure what to say. Then i think about what Draco would say if it was me and i look straight up into Harry's eyes. "It is you. I don't know why but i know no matter what you will always have people right beside you when it is you." I reassure him and he lets out a short breath. He looks into my eyes for a moment in silence.

Then before i know it his lips crash onto mine, his hands each side of my face. I pause for a second in shock but then lightly push on his chest. He pulls away, an embarrassed look on his face. "Fuck sorry- i-

"Harry-

"No i shouldn't of-

"Harry." I place my hands on his shoulders with a smile. "Don't be sorry. You're going through a hard time and your minds all jumbled. I know this isn't what you want." I look him in the eyes as his breathing slows down from his panic. He lets out a little sigh of relief and cracks a smile. "Yeah exactly. I am sorry though." He looks down for a second before looking back up "i shouldn't of used you to-

I shake my head "Harry don't worry about me! Im all good" i shrug before turning and swinging his arm around my shoulder "come on. Im sure there's plenty of people waiting for you in the Gryffindor common room"
