You've been ignoring the presence of Draco since the Champions Selection, which was days ago. You haven't slept properly any night from that day till now, that explains the black rings under your eyes. You look soulless, just like someone after suffering the Dementor's kiss. Every time you close your eyes, he appears again. The Dark Lord appears again.

He tortures your parents.

He tortures you.

He watches the Tournament from the distance as the First Task kills you.

And last night...

Draco was on his side. Draco was standing in front of you, his wand at the ready, The Dark Lord muttering something in his ear. His stare was ice cold, his face was emotionless. And a jet of green light burst from the tip of his wand...

"No!" you shake your head, opening your eyes and find yourself walking towards the Great Hall along with many students from all three schools. It's dinner time. Since when has it been dinner time?

"(Y/n)!" a familiar voice calls from behind you,"Wait up! Please!"
Someone takes grip of your arm a split second later, before you can speed up and disappear into the crowd.

"Hey." you say, smiling feebly,"How are you?"

Draco doesn't answer but merely pulls you away from the crowd and into a deserted corridor.

"What do you mean by that? How am I?" he shouts angrily, his hand still gripping your arm tightly,"Well I'm not fine! Nothing is fine!"

"Draco..." you sigh, rubbing your temples,"I..."

But he cuts you across.

"Look at you, (Y/n)!" he continues irritably,"Look at your eyes! Why haven't you been sleeping? WHY?"

"There is nothing to worry about, Draco!" you jerk your arm out of his grip and back away,"I'm alright. Just a little...tense."

"Nothing to worry about?" he repeats, scowling at you,"Then why have you been ignoring me? What have you been hiding from me?"

"Nothing! I'm just nervous and I want to relax on my own! I just want to be alone, when will you finally understand that?" you cry out impatiently, folding your arms,"Now...Excuse me. I'm hungry." you say coldly and turn to walk away,"You too, calm down and go eat something. You look skinny."

You're almost out of Draco's sight when he calls from behind.

"I look skinny because I've been worried about you, (Y/n). I cannot calm down and eat something unless you...you stop doing this to me. It's been horrible."

You roll your eyes and keep going.

"I'm...I'm not hungry!" Draco exclaims,"Well...but if you..."

You turn around then nod your head.

"Yeah, actually I'm not hungry either." you shrug and walk toward him,"Let's go somewhere."

"Do you remember when you wrote to me about playing the piano?" asks Draco.

"Of course I do. So?"

"There's a room here in Hogwarts called the Room of Requirement which gives you what you require. It's on the seventh floor." he explains,"I guess you might want to play the piano to relax a bit."

***

You push the door open. Here it is, the Room of Requirement...

All your nervousness and fear just goes away at once the moment you see a brand new piano placed in the centre of the room.
