13 ~ poems

'The air is blue and keen and cold,
With snow the roads and fields are white
But here the forest's clothed with light
And in a shining sheath enrolled.
Each branch, each twig, each blade of grass,
Seems clad miraculously with glass..'

You and Draco were still outside. You just crossed a bridge and Draco stopped. You lowered your book and looked at him.

'It's like I'm seeing it for the first time.' He sighed.

You smiled and stared off into the distance.

'So? Is there anything else?' He asked.

You grinned and looked back at the poem.

'Above the ice-bound streamlet bends
Each frozen fern with crystal ends.' You smiled
 
'Was that it?' He asked.

'For this poem... Yes..  there are way more. Also a few other from William Sharp.' You smiled.

You skipped a few pages. Draco grabbed the book from your hands.

'The yellow moon is a dancing phantom
Down secret ways of the flowing shade;
And the waveless stream has a murmuring whisper
Where the alders wave-'

'Not a breath, not a sigh, save the slow stream's whisper:
Only the moon is a dancing blade
That leads a host of the Crescent warriors
To a phantom raid.' You interrupted him.

He looked at you and then back at the poem. You smiled.

'Out of the Lands of Faerie a summons,
A long, strange cry that thrills through the glade: -
The gray-green glooms of the elm are stirring,
Newly afraid.' He read.

'Last heard, white music, under the olives
Where once Theocritus sang and played -
Thy Thracian song is the old new wonder,
O moon-white maid!' You finished. 'I know my poems.' You grinned.

You then noticed that you were back at the front door. You walked inside and put your cloak back on the coat reck. Draco came in as well and you sighed. He put his coat away and you walked through the hallway.

'Hello, mademoiselle.' Lumière spoke when he saw you.

Cogsworth was there as well.

'You two have been gone for long.' Cogsworth spoke.

'Yeah. We went for a walk.' You smiled.

You passed them and walked towards the stairs.

'Y/N!'

You turned around and saw Draco. You smiled.

'Yes, Draco.'

'You forgot your poem book.'

'It's yours.' You spoke. 'Came from your library.'

'So? You grabbed it, so you can put it back.'

He offered it to you. You grinned and shook your head. You ran up to your room and Draco hurried after you. You started running faster through the corridors, almost tripping over froufrou and then you ran towards the West wing. When you ran into Draco's room he grabbed you and pushed you against the wall. Your noses were next to each other and your lips were almost touching. Your breath shivered as you waited for what would happen next.

Draco took a step back and pushed the book into your hands. He smiled gently.

'Put it away.' He grinned before walking away.

You sighed and moved your hand through your hair. You decided to just do as he said. You slowly walked towards the library. There was no sign of Draco or anyone else anywhere. You walked into the library and put the books away.

'Oh Puppet! There you are.' Misses Potts smiled.

'Hi.'  You said while turning around.

'Dinner will be ready soon. Thought I'd let your know.'

'Thank you.' You smiled.

'How has your day been?' She then asked.

'It was good.. I enjoyed myself.' You smiled. 'Draco is slowly becoming more comfortable I  having me around.' You grinned. 'Not that I really have a choice.'

'We know, puppet. We're trying to make things as comfortable as possible.'

'I know.. I just can't help it that I miss my home.'

You sighed and just walked out of the library. Plumette passed you and stopped.

'What's up, mesdemoiselle? You look so down.'

'Its nothing... I just need to sleep.'

You walked towards your room and closed the door. Madame Garderobe was asleep. You laid down on your bed and closed your eyes.

-

Before you knew it someone shook your shoulder gently. You opened your eyes and turned your head, only to find Draco next to your bed.

'Dinner is ready.. I'll see you soon.' He smiled.

He then walked away. You rubbed your eyes and yawned. You got up and fixed your hair before walking downstairs. You sat down at the dining table. You look at the soup on the table and then you grabbed your spoon and started eating. At the other end of the table Draco was also eating. He looked at you.

He grabbed his soup and then walked over to you. He sat down besides you. You looked up in surprise. He passed you a very quick small smile before continuing. You couldn't help but smile and continue.

'It's really good.' You smiled.

'It is.' Draco answered.

It was quiet for a while.

'We can't have talked that much that we don't have anything left.' You grinned.

'I have nothing to tell you after you read all the books from Harry.'

You laughed.

'I get that.'

'So tell me a bit more about you.'

'You mostly know everything. I basically just like reading... you know about my mom, about Hogwarts. I'm not that special. I just want to ask you something... what was...'

You weren't sure whether or not you could ask this.

'What was what?'

You sighed.

'What was... you know... Voldemort like?'

'Voldemort? He was.. your typical villain kind of guy. Didn't get anything that had to do with love, took over my entire manor. Made my parents miserable.. Made me miserable. He did so much to live for ever.. and then he spoiled it by trying to take down Hogwarts. Ruined my life.. Ruined my parents life.'

Draco looked at his soup and ate some more.

'I'm sorry I asked..'

'It's fine.' He spoke. 'Seriously. It is. It's just.. he ruined everything. He caused all of this. Because of him I only have a few weeks left to live.'

'Because of the enchantment?'

Draco nodded.
