Harry stared at the ceiling unblinking in the middle of the night, laying on his bed with a thousand things in his mind, not really knowing how to sort it out. Ron was already asleep in the bed next to his right, snoring obnoxiously loud side and on his left, Draco Malfoy's bed was left untouched. Deciding his mind quickly, Harry took his invisibility cloak and his Marauders' Map.
Feeling the need to find Malfoy and see what he's up to was too loud to ignore. Especially now that Draco already broke up with him from their relationship without any explanation other than, "I just don't love you anymore, Potter. I don't want this relationship any longer." So, Harry mumbled under his breath as he walked out silently from the dorm room, throwing on his cloak along the way, "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good." And the Map showed itself.
Sharp eyes roamed around the Map, searching for the name Draco Malfoy.
There you go, Harry thought. An abandoned corridor.
So there he went off to, casting a Silencing Charm to cover his footsteps as he walked along the empty silent corridor. When he got nearer to the spot that showed where Malfoy was, he started to slow down. His heart was beating miles per hour, his palms started to sweat and he didn't understand why he was feeling like this. Anticipated? Nervous?
Only then he realised there was a tune of a strumming guitar. The closer he got, the louder the sound was. He noticed Malfoy was sitting on the floor in front of a portrait of Severus Snape with a guitar on his lap. The exact guitar that Harry had bought for him as a gift when he saw Malfoy staring at it when they went on a date in London a few months ago. The melody he played was beautiful with a sad tone tinge with it. Harry stood there, feeling confused. When had Draco learnt how to play the guitar?
"I can be tough~ I can be strong~ But with you, it's not like that at all," Draco sang, voice starting as calm and poised at first. Harry felt relaxed without himself knowing why. Maybe it was because of Malfoy's voice. Harry sighed quietly and listened to the beautiful voice instead.
"There's a girl
That gives a shit
Behind this wall
You've just walked through it"
Malfoy inhaled shakily, continuing his strumming and Snape only looked at him silently, letting the blond have his moment without any interruption but Snape's eyes held sympathy and pain for him as if Harry was the one who hurt Malfoy's feelings instead of the right way around.
"And I remember, all those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here"
"All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here"
Harry was puzzled and so confused. Was this song about him? If Malfoy was so upset and heartbroken by their break up then why did he do it the first place? Was it Harry himself the problem? Or was there something inside Malfoy that had been clawing at him that he hadn't tell Harry?
"Damn, damn, damn,
What I'd do to have you
Here, here, here
I wish you were here
Damn, damn, damn
What I'd do to have you
Near, near, near
I wish you were here"
Harry's green eyes prickled behind the glasses, his chest felt constricted making it hard for him to breathe properly. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to calm himself, a few tears leaking from it. Merlin, now he remembered how much he missed having Malfoy around him.
