I've been crying
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns

I wake up in bed the next morning, yawning I get up and I get out of bed. "Where were you last night mate?" Ron asks last nights events come back to me. "Oh, I went up to the Owlery and ran into... Somebody who wanted to talk." I tell him, not exactly lying. "Okay." He says. I am on my way to the Great Hall with Hermione and Ron, feeling a bit funny. We walk for a bit longer when I really start feeling terrible. My legs are shaking, my vision is going fuzzy, I'm lightheaded and my palms are sweaty. "Guys," I say my voice wavering, "I-I-I don't feel very go-" My sentence get's cut off halfway as my knees give out and I crumple to the floor like a sack of potatoes, my vision going dark and I see Hermione and Ron coming towards me.

I wake up, momentarily confused to see a white ceiling over top of me. Then, I remember what happened, my stomach lets out an embarrassingly loud groan. I slowly sit up, my head pounding, and my vision swimming. "Ah, Mr. Poter you're awake! Now I cast a couple of spells on you, and you're extremely malnourished. So, I want you to eat all of this." She says, setting a tray on my lap. I start to eat it slowly, then I hear footsteps in the infirmary, I look up and I see Draco coming towards me. "What are you doing here?" I ask him. He sits down at the foot of my bed and shrugs. "You weren't at breakfast. So I figured you'd be here." Draco responds, "So why are you here?" He asks me. "Oh, um... I'm very malnourished, so I fainted." I say quietly.

"Are you okay?" He asks me. "I will be. But I can't go back there, never again." I say out loud, talking to myself, forgetting his presence. "Go where?" He whispers to me. I finish my meal, "Go back to the Dursleys I mumble before drifting into a sleep. I wake up quite a bit later, I stand up, "Oh you're awake. Well, you're free to go, come back if you start feeling dizzy again and keep eating full meals." She says, before departing. I cast a quick Tempus before getting up and walking down to dinner. "Hi, Harry! Are you feeling better?" Asks Neville, I nod and start eating dinner. I eat quickly, excited to see him for our practice session. I get up and go to the Room of Requirement. I'm in front of it when I hear an angelic voice singing;

I've been crying
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns

It keeps me crying baby for you
Keeps me sighin' baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on boy, see about me
(Come see about me)
See about your baby

I've given up my friends just for you
My friends are gone
And you have too
No peace shall I find
Until you come back
And be mine
No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyway

Keep on crying baby for you
I'm gonna keep sighin' baby for you
So come on hurry
Come on and see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby

Draco finishes his song, I walk in smiling, he turns towards the noise. "Hi! I was just warming up." He says, "You sing fantastically." I say to him smiling, "Of course I do, I'm a Malfoy!' He says teasingly. I laugh a bit, "So what song were you thinking?" I ask him, "I don't know. A duet I guess." I say, a light blush on my cheeks. "Of course, but what kind? I hardly think we're going to go up and start singing about our undying love for each other." Draco says while laughing. I muster up a laugh, masking my blush. We hang out for a bit longer before agreeing to meet again the next night. We part ways, I take a long slow walk back to the Gryffindor Dorms and I go to bed, Draco's beautiful singing in my head.

I wake up the next morning, still smiling from last night's encounter. I walk down to the Common Room, earlier than usual. I go and sit in front of the fireplace with Hermione. "Good morning 'Mione!" I tell her, my voice chipper and perkier than usual. She looks up and smiles at me, "Good morning Harry. You seem very happy this morning." She remarks, "Any reason why?" I shift a bit, "Oh no, I guess I'm just recovering from the malnutrition and I'm feeling a lot more energized than usual." I tell her, she nods, and then she goes back to her book. Ron comes down from our dorm room, and we all walk down to breakfast.
