Warnings - a lil sad
Your house - any ✨

It was a lonely night. The day had been long and I needed some comfort.
Grabbing my wand and hauling another thick jumper over my cold body, I ran down the stairs from the dorms into the common room. Approaching my exit, I took off my slippers, in hope that would minimise any sound, and left them by the door. I slid out of the hole and began to creep down the corridor. Tiptoeing, yet running, I made my way down the familiar route towards the disused classroom. Bowing my head to the coat of arms as I passed, I came to a stop outside my destination. Turning the door knob, I wandered in.
On the far side of the room, leaning against the wall, stood the Mirror of Erised, in all its legendary wonder. This wasn't the first time I had come across the mirror, although every time I had it had showed me the same thing. Draco.
Gliding over, I stood dead centre in front of it, although I kept my eyes closed.
"Why do I do this to myself?" I whispered, before looking up and opening my eyes.
And there, like always, stood the beautiful Draco Malfoy. He smiled warmly at me, his eyes full of love.
"Draco," I sighed, finding comfort in his silver orbs.
I kept locked with his eyes, as he snaked his arms around my waist. Although he wasn't there, I could feel his protection from behind me. Tears slowly crept into my eyes, knowing that in fact he wasn't there at all. I edged closer to the mirror, and held my hand up, Draco mirroring my actions. It looked as if we were touching hands, although the pain of knowing we would never still hung in my heart. Draco's own eyes looked tear pricked, and part of my believed that there was another version of him, stuck loving me from inside a mirror.
Sighing deeply, I knew I had to go back to my dorms before I got caught.
"I can't keep doing this." I wandered why I came here in the first place. "I'm sorry."
Draco smiled slightly, understating my pain.
"I love you." I whispered, before resting my head on the glass, finally letting a tear roll off my cheek. Before looking up at him, I turned my back and scuttled across the classroom. Reaching the door, I looked back one last time but only saw the reflection of the empty room.
"Goodbye Draco."
