Y/N got on top of the Astronomy Tower, she noticed Draco sitting near the edge, admiring the stars.

She slowly walked towards him and sat, without uttering a word. She didn't glance at Draco, instead she admired the moon and stars, just like he did.

Draco turned his head to look at the girl who sat beside him, he stared at her eyes for a moment, admiring the glimpse in them. He turned back to the stars, without a word. The only thing they could hear was the low sound of a slow song coming from downstairs, nothing else.

"That's you, isn't it?" Y/N was the first one to break the comfortable silence, she didn't turn her head to look at Malfoy, her eyes remained on the sky. 

Draco turned to face the girl, his eyes followed hers to see what she was looking at.

At first he was confused, there was the usual white orb and stars around it. But soon he understood what she meant: The constellation Draco. 

"It is." He replied shortly, his eyes admired the constellation he was named after. 

"It's pretty." Y/N commented without much thought behind those words.

Draco turned to look at the girl sitting beside him, who was still busy admiring the stars above. "Very pretty, indeed." He responded with a low voice.  His gaze remained on her, as if he was thinking of something.

Draco suddenly stood up, making Y/N's gaze turn to him. He extended his hand for her to take. "Dance?" 

Y/N took a brief moment to process what he said. She took a look at his extended hand before gently grabbing it. 

Draco pulled her back to her feet. He gently put his hand around her belly while grabbing Y/N's hand with his other hand. Y/N, followed his actions, she placed her free hand to his shoulder without breaking the intense eye contact.

They both stared at eachother with stern expressions while they were swaying around, matching the low songs rhythm coming from the ball downstairs.

"Does this mean you forgive me?" Y/N said, her lips curled up into a soft smile as Draco spun her around.

"No." He responded in a sarcastic manner. His lips curled into a small smile, just like the one Y/N had. It was rare to see Draco with a genuine smile, not with his usual smirk but a real smile. 

Y/N rolled her eyes, they kept on swinging around as if nothing else mattered in that moment. Their dancing came into an end with the song ending, however both of them stood frozen in their places, not daring to move away. 

Draco didn't understand the emotions he was feeling at that moment, he just stared at the Gryffindors eyes without a word. 

Y/N was the first to make a move, she cleared her throat before taking a step back. 

She took a moment to muster up to courage to speak. "I'll see you around Draco." With that, she left him standing in the Astronomy Tower all alone.

George woke up with loud banging coming from the door, he rubbed his eyes  and got up to open the door. "What the hell do you want Y/N?" George mumbled followed with a yawn.

"Apple!" 

"Why the hell are you looking for an apple in my room?"

Y/N moved to the other twin after understanding she was talking to George. Fred, who was in deep slumber was waken up by Y/N's harsh shaking.

"Y/N?" Fred mumbled, he squinted his eyes with the light while getting up.

"You, me, talk!"

"About what?"

"About how delicious apples are."

Fred jumped as soon as he heard the words that came out of the girls mouth. He grabbed Y/N by her arm and  leaded her to the common room, shutting the door behind him, leaving George confused.

"You two... Did it?" He practically yelled with his eyes widdened.

"Did what?"

"Uhm, wiggly wiggly." 

"What the fuck is a wiggly wiggly Fred?"

"Sex!"

"What? No! He asked me to dance!"

Fred laughed at the answer. "Sure." 

"I'm being serious Fred, we danced together."

"I'm not believing that Draco Malfoy asked you to dance."

"Us having sex is much more possible than dancing? And code name!" 

"You two actually danced?"

"Yes, for the hundredth time!"

"Show me how you danced." Fred said as he settled into the couch. After Y/N did as he said, which looked pathetic since she was dancing alone, Fred had his mouth agape. "That ain't apple I know."

"I know, right? I still can't believe it." Y/N responded as she sat beside Fred. 

"What happened after that? A kiss or something?"

"What no! I said bye and left. Besides there wasn't anything romantic about the dance!"

"You are pathetic." Fred said as he let out a long exaggerated yawn. "I'm going back to bed."

"You can't leave me alone." Y/N whinned as he clutched onto Fred's arm. 

"Sorry, I need my beauty sleep Y/N." Fred said before leaving Y/N to eat herself alive that night.

Last night was chaotic. Y/N's poor apple plushie got abused way too much, just because they shared the same name with Draco Malfoy. It was thrown across the room, got punched in the face and was tried to drown in the sink.

Two best friends were wandering around the castle, one of their eyes were puffy because of the crying, other one had dark circles under her eyes because of the sleepless night.

Hermione told what happened while she was gone, Y/N felt awful because she couldn't be there for her when she was having a break down. However Hermione reasured her that it was okay.

"Y/N." 

She turned to the voice calling her name, "Koji."

"Look, I'm really sorry for leaving you like that last night." Henry said. Hermione got the cue and left the two alone. Y/N sighed while looking to distance.

"Why did you leave?"

"Something really important came up, I'm so sorry." 

"What came up Henry? I believe I deserve to more than anyone else."

Henry cleared his throat to speak, but nothing came out. 

Y/N noticing this, rolled her eyes and tried to walk away, but was stopped with Henry's hand grabbing hers.

"It's personal. Please understand."

"Whatever Koji, leave me alone."  She shook her hand for Henry to release. Henry watched as she walked away from him with quick steps.
