I laid down on the bed and stared up in the ceiling. I crossed my arms and grumbled.

"You've been grumpy the whole day, tell me what the fuck is wrong," Freja said from across the room in her own bed.

"It's nothing," I muttered irritated. "I just.. no. Nothing."

She sighed and closed the book she was reading.

"If you have to be like this, can you be it  in another place?"

I sat up and snorted at her. I swung my legs out of the edge of the bed and walked straight over to the door and opened it.

"Bye!" I exclaimed.

"Bye, sulk," She said without looking at me.

I ignored her and stomped out of the dorm. I walked over to the common room where most of the Slytherin students had met. It was almost over crowded. They didn't notice me.

"Hey, (Y/N)!"

I turned around and saw Malfoy in the crowd. I couldn't even cope with him right now. I twirled around again and left.

I ran outside in the common area where there also were a lots of students. I ran all the way over to Hagrid's cabin. He greeted me with a smile and let me in.

"You seem a little mad today," he said as he poured tea in my cup.

"Why does anyone say that!"

He laughed and took a slurp if his tea.

We chatted for a while until a sudden nock on his door interrupted us. Hagrid got up and opened the door and welcomed Malfoy in. Oh god..

"Hey (Y/N). I saw you later. You seemed upset, but you didn't hear me when I said hi."

I looked up at him and sighed.

"Sorry. I'm just.. I don't know what's wrong."

I rested my head in my hand and looked at Hagrid and Malfoy who gave me a crooked smile.

"How are you feeling?" Malfoy asked. "You sure there's not anything we can do?"

I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head.

"I don't know. I just can't take life right now."

Malfoy sat down across me and out a hand on my arm.

It suddenly knocked on Hagrid's door again and he opened. It was a student from Ravenclaw who needed help with magic beasts from Hagrid's classes.

"I'll be right back kids, behave."

He left us alone in his little cabin. I looked at Malfoy who pulled his hand back again.

"You sure there's nothing to do? Maybe you can tell me what's wrong?"

I groaned silently.

"It's just.. it's so hard right now.. I can't deal with my homework, my social life or anything else. I feel like this I the hardest year so far.. and I just can't-"

I felt the tears gather in my eyes and I rapidly looked away.

"Hey.. Relax.. the year has just begun. You'll make it. Okay?"

I looked at him again without even smiling. He took my hand and squeezed it slightly.

"Smile dummy," he said and I looked confused at him.

"Why? What's there to smile about?"

"Well.. you got me here allll to yourself," he said and smirked.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"There it is. The cutest smile in the world. I've missed that.."

I smiled at him. He always knew how to  encourage me. Maybe that's why.. I loved him that much..
