The Color Yellow ~ Blaise Zabini

thirteen

Blaise Zabini rushed through the halls of the castle to reach the astronomy tower where he was supposed to meet his friends. But to his dismay the traitorous stairs kept moving. He really didn't have time for this.

Blaise had to meet Isabelle and Harry as soon as possible. They had to discuss Draco. At the Christmas party, the boy had seemed okay. That was an understatement really, Draco had seemed better than Blaise had ever seen him. But now, back at Hogwarts, the blond was acting even more distant and depressed. So the friends knew they had to do something.

He finally made it to the tower and sat on the cold floor with his friends. Isabelle leaned into him and Harry sat across from them.

"So what are we going to do?" Harry asked.

"I have no idea, but we have to do something. Draco is clearly depressed and he seems to be shutting us all out. I'm worried," Isabelle spoke softly, pulling on the seam of her sweater.

"We just have to keep trying, I think. Show him that we support him and care about him, ya know?" Blaise added.

The friends sat in silence for a moment, contemplating the situation. Isabelle cuddled further into Blaise and he wrapped an arm protectively around her.

A little while later, they dispersed to their respective common rooms, each hoping that Blaise was right and that would be enough.

Isabelle worriedly returned to her dorm room. She tried to sneak in quietly but failed in the end. As soon as Isabelle sat on her bed and began unlacing her shoes, Hannah popped up seemingly out of nowhere. The blond girl took a seat on Isabelle's bed and waited. Finally, Isabelle unlaced her shoes and faced the other girl.

"Izzy, I've barely been able to talk to you lately and I miss you!" Hannah Abbot whispered ferociously.

"I know, Hannah, and I'm so, so sorry. I just, their's a lot going on right now."

"Well their is a lot going on in my life right now  too and all I wanted was to be able to share it with my best friend!"

"Then tell and I promise I'll fill you in when you get done," Isabelle said.

"I kissed Neville."

"WHAT?!"

"Shhhh, I know. It's just we've been hanging out and I really like him and it just happened ya know. But then I ran away and I haven't talked to him," Hannah told.

"You need to talk to him!" Isabelle cheered.

"I will, I promise. Now tell me about you!"

"So you know I've gotten close with Blaise, Draco, and Harry. And you know how I feel about Blaise. But right not we are really all just very worried about Draco. Hannah, Draco is struggling and I mean really struggling. He's depressed and shutting us out and it's awful. I'm so scared for him," Isabelle spoke.

"I'm here to help."

A.N. This is so short, I'm sorry but I️ PROMISE the next one will be longer💛
