Who's your favorite Harry Potter character?

Draco POV

People can somehow agree that the entire ocean is affected by the moon, yet refuse to believe it has any effect on us even though we are made of mostly water, funny isn't it? I have always had a strange fascination with the moon and how it is unseen and unappreciated by a lot of humans. But it's still there shining bright for no one. Except for the animals, the creatures, and the few who choose to stop and pay it a visit.

Recently my life has been this mess of loneliness. More and more people continued to turn against me. I knew I was acting like an asshole to everyone around me, including my friends, but I had to. I couldn't be there for them when they needed me I couldn't comfort them when I so desperately wanted to, Malfoys don't show their weak spots.

After weeks of this I decided was one of those nights where I felt like I needed to step away from the chaos that is my life and pay my old friend a visit. So I waited until most of the people in my room were asleep and gathered everything I needed to be comfortable. This included putting on my black coat and green scarf. Once I was sure the coast was clear I effortlessly was able to sneak my way out of the castle.

Once I got to my usual spot by the like I was pleased to see that the moon was full and larger than normal," must be a super moon hm..," I said quietly to myself as I took my seat at the edge of the lake's pier.

My feet dangled over the water that reflected the moon and softly lit up trees. They swayed slightly with a cold breeze that made me happy I decided on bringing a coat and scarf. I gave a relaxed sigh and sipped my tea before laying down on my back to admire not only the moon but the hundreds of stars specked across the sky. It was beyond gorgeous and I could never remember seeing anything quiet as beautiful as this in my entire life.I stared, lost in my silly thoughts about myself and others and everything I wished they understood.

"Gorgeous isn't it."

I knew that voice all to well and was surprised as to what he was doing here," I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life," I replied calmly.

Why Potter was here was a mystery to me and why would he even approach me?

"Oh- Malfoy ...it's you.," Harry said with his voice dropping a bit.

"Well,Glad to see you too,"I replied plainly sitting up to look at him.

Harry shrugged and sat across from me," I thought maybe you were one of my friends who changed their mind about watching the super moon with me out here...Apparently not."

I stopped myself from laughing in his face," I didn't even realize there would be a super moon tonight, I just come out here a lot, but I never took you as the type who would be into this type of thing."

Harry listened to me speak while he stared amazed at the sky,and then back at me,"Well.. when I was still living with my aunt and uncle I hardly was allowed the privilege of going out and all that or having friends, I mean they blocked off my damn windows, but anyways,I have a hard time sleeping most nights anyways so I spent a lot of hours just staring at the sky and wondering what it was like out there, what Ron was doing, wondering what it would be like to just get out there and touch the stars you know? But that probably sounds stupid.."

I'd never thought I would actually see the day that I could actually relate to Potter ,"Not at all. I completely understand."

He looked at me questioningly and I didn't exactly feel like spilling my life story to him so I stood up ," You said you wanted to touch the stars, so... why not now?"

Harry just looked more confused than before which earned a chuckle from me, I held out my hand and helped him up,"I think we can manage to not kill one another for just a few minutes to do this. Besides, I can respect a fellow lover of the stars."
