Drarry // Walk In The Moonlight

12. Rorrim

The sky was filled with the most beautiful stars he had ever seen. Harry took the time to lay down next to Draco. When he was comfortable enough he looked back up to the sky and it was absolutely mesmerizing. Thousands of stars were twinkling the same way they were twinkling in Draco's light blue eyes.

Harry didn't want to break the silence, but just as he was about to, Draco spoke up first. "I might like this better than the Astronomy Tower." He whispered. Harry didn't understand why he was whispering but he followed his lead and whispered back. "This is definitely a close second. It's warmer in the Astronomy Tower." A little cloud of cold air escaped his mouth.

Draco looked around as if he didn't realise the snow before. He then turned his face to Harry's and looked down at the boy's hands. "Why aren't you wearing gloves?" He softly asked. "It's not like I can just get them here out of nowhere." Harry joked. Draco looked at him. "We learned 'Accio' for a reason Potter." He chuckled.

Draco didn't think and just took Harry's hand with his. Harry flinched because of the unexpected turn of events but quickly relaxed as he felt the warmth of Draco's glove. "Y-you didn't need to." Harry stuttered. Draco panicked a little. "Sorry I didn't mean to-" "But it's okay." Harry quickly added. He didn't want to let go of Draco's hand in a million years.

Draco took Harry's hand a little diffrent so he could intertwine their fingers for maximum heat. You would think it was stupid but Harry really did feel warm at that very moment. Not only his hand but his whole body was on fire. He could feel himself blushing and he hoped it would go unnoticed under the moonlight.

"Thank you Draco." Harry whispered so silent that Draco almost though it was the wind whispering. The blonde just softly pinched Harry's hand in response. The both of them then proceeded to silently lay down hand in hand under a sky full of stars. Harry had never felt so at ease before.

After a while of stargazing Harry saw one star that was shining brighter than all the others. As a matter of fact Harry was pretty sure it was the Sirius star. The brightest star, also know as the Dog star. "Hey Draco, do you see that one star up there?" Harry whispered. Draco looked at where Harry was pointing and hummed a 'yes'. All Harry did was just smile in relief, knowing that a part of his godfather would always be there.

He closed his eyes for a little while and he felt very happy. Happy that he was here with Draco, sharing a moment. Because somehow the silence seemed to connect them in a way words never could.

The freezing cold Harry felt before was long forgotten and the boys just lay down, still with intertwined hands, until they heard a sound. It was Mrs. Norris, Filch's nasty cat. Draco opened his eyes and cursed. "Shit, it's probably past the curfew." Harry looked at Draco to see if he had a plan. If Mrs. Norris was here, Filch was probably not that far away.

"Are you in for a run Potter?" Draco whispered as he tried not to make any loud noise. The raven haired quickly nodded. A few meters from where they were standing they could now clearly hear Filch's voice. "My sweetheart what did you see? Are there students out of bed after curfew?" His raspy voice said. Mrs. Norris miauwed and looked at the boys with her big red eyes. They had to act fast if they weren't planning on getting detention after the vacation ended.

Harry looked around, the only way back to the dorms was by passing the bridge. "Draco follow me." Filch was now almost there. Harry and Draco ran behind a stone and when Filch passed the stone they went for it. They ran to the bridge as fast as they could while still trying to be silent. But Mrs. Norris had followed them and turned around, alerting Filch.

The snob now turned around and saw two shadows run away. "Students out of bed!" Filch screamed knowing fully well that no one but Harry and Draco could hear him. He ran after them with his beloved cat leading the way. Draco catched up with Harry and they were now contemplating what they should do. "He already saw us, so going to our dorm is a bad idea." Draco said. Harry was thinking as fast as he was running. There must be a place where they could hide from the caretaker.

"I know a place." Harry said in all seriousness. He took a turn and went up the stairs. Draco just followed him while trying to figure out where Harry was going. After a good 2 minutes of running with Filch and Mrs. Norris following them closely after, Draco started to understand where Harry was taking him.

They got in the hall where the Room of Requirements was located. Harry thought about how they really needed a place to hide and a door appeared in the wall. Harry sped up one last time to open the door for Draco and he slammed the door shut right before Mrs. Norris and Filch could get in.

"Whew, I can't recall the last time I ran this fast." Draco said. "Well actually I can, but you know what I mean." Harry just nodded while he tried to catch his breath. After Draco was done catching his breath he looked around. "So what exactly did you think of." He said as he walked around.

It was a big place, there was nothing in it but one big mirror. "In my first year here at Hogwarts I had to run away from Filch as well. It was the night after Christmas, I got the invisibility cloak and wandered around. Then I hid in a room that looks exactly the same as the one we're in now." The raven haired said as he thought back of that day.

Harry slowly walked up to the mirror of Erised, he knew fully well what the mirror did as Professor Dumbledore had explained it himself. He looked into it and saw his mom and dad smiling at him, just like they had in his first year. Draco now walked up to him.

"What do you see?" Harry asked. Draco looked at him with a face of confusion and answered. "I know it's late but what do you mean, what do I see? It's a mirror, Harry. Obviously I see you and me."
