The night was drawing in,  Ron had already fallen asleep and was snoring.

"Does he always do that?" Draco whispered as he slipped under the covers.

"Most nights" I replied, "you get used to it." Draco snuggled down, he had taken off his jumper and was now just in his underwear. I was wearing a light blue t-shirt and boxers.

We both were underneath the blankets holding each other, we couldn't do anything it would be kinda disrespectful. Draco eventually also drifted off to sleep. It wasn't often that he fell asleep before me. Even when he slept he didn't relax, he still had that same sombre look across his face. I stayed looking at the ceiling for some time just trying to fall asleep. I looked out of the window, Ron had forgotten to close the curtains. The moon was shining brightly.

I then heard it, I wasn't sure what it was at first but then it became clear. Little sniffles, muffled crying. I was reminded of the time I followed Draco's cry's to the toilet where that first kiss happened. However, I didn't want that to happen again. I slowly got up without waking up Draco or Ron.

I walked down the landing, tiptoeing on the planks that made the least noise. I made it to Ginny's room and as I suspected, the noises were coming from her. I gently tapped on the door.

"Who is it?" She whispered.

"It's me, Harry" I spoke through the cracks in the door.

"Come in" Ginny said after clearing her throat.

I walked in cautiously, Ginny was sitting on the ground her back to her bed. The letter was crumpled and torn. I slowly walked towards Ginny who was resting her head on her knees that were clutched to her chest.

"Please tell me" I said slowly and quietly. She slid a part of the letter towards me. I smoothed it out as best I could and began to read the small piece.

Every time I see you I just want to kiss you, know that you are mine, hold you. It kills me to know that this reality will never be true, not in a million years. However I find comfort in knowing there is a very very small possibility and I hold on to that, I clutch it close to my broken heart.

"Is the rest of the letter like this?" I asked. She nodded. I turned to face her,

"Who is it from?" Ginny gulped before saying very quietly,

"Pansy."

"Is that a bad thing?" I asked. She nodded.

"Why?" I asked cautiously.

"Because I don't like her back" Ginny croaked. I thought for a moment before saying,

"why has she written this letter?" A single tear slid down Ginny's cheek.

"Because she overheard me talking to Luna and she thinks that means we have a chance" she said. Ginny didn't say what the conversation with Luna was about but it wasn't hard to guess.

"You need to let her know or she will just continue to embarrass herself like this and make you anxious" I said offering up my advice. Ginny nodded.

"Tomorrow morning we will write a letter to Pansy making it clear how you feel. The break will give her some time to get over it before you go back to school, Alright?" I said.

"Yes" Ginny replied.

"Right now get some sleep" I said getting up.

"Sorry for waking you" Ginny said as she got up and climbed into her own bed.

"You didn't" I said walking out of the room.

"Thank you" I heard her whisper as I left the room. I crept back to Ron's room and slithered into bed. Draco remained undisturbed.

"How's Ginny?" Draco whispered. He made me jump out of my skin.

"Jesus Draco I thought you were asleep" I said giving him a light punch.

"Yeah I'm good at faking it" he said opening one eye.

"How did you know I was talking to Ginny?" I asked.

"Thin walls my friend" Draco replied in his usually confident voice. He slipped his hand onto my leg and travelled upwards.

"Nope not tonight" I said moving his hand. Draco looked at me with puppy eyes.

I gave him a kiss on the lips which moved down to the neck. When I reached his collar bone I stopped and pulled my head back.

"That's all" I said. Draco was panting,

"No Harry, please."

"Draco we are guests," I said pretending to tell him off. Draco grabbed my hair,

"Potter you better continue or I will kill you."

"Alright Alright" I chuckled and began to kiss his chest.

Draco reached for his wand, he placed a silencer charm and made the bed sheets float to create some curtains. Moved downwards whilst kissing him. I could feel Draco shudder beneath me. Just as I got to Draco's pant line he grabbed my head and pulled me up,

"My turn" he whispered. I rolled over onto my back and Draco was on top of me.

I reached up and grabbed Draco's hair. I ran my fingers through his moonlight hair.

Afterwards, Draco was laying opposite me stroking my eyebrows with his thumb,

"you've got such well-defined eyebrows" he whispered.

"Thanks" I chuckled.
