Draco Malfoy has had an unhealthy obsession with Josephine Greengrass, the only Gryffindor in her family, ever since first year. Over his six years of watching her, he has hardly ever spoken to her. The year he gets his dark mark drives him over the...

"I think I found a brighter one." ꧁꧂ Draco's POV:
Dear Diary, Last night was the best time of my life. I don't care about the stupid stars or the Draco constellation, (even though it is kinda cool), I only care about my time with Josephine. To feel her hands on me, to hear her voice, to hear her laugh, to see her. It's one of the few times I've ever felt purely happy. It's just I was so close to feeling her lips against mine, but she didn't want to, at least yet. But I'm not sure if I can have Josephine love me, if the dark lord found out I had a distraction, he would kill her. I can't let that happen, so I'm not sure if we'll be together anytime soon. Once I finish this task I will have to leave Hogwarts, which means I'll be leaving her. Of course I will always love Josephine, she is my one true love. The only person who makes me happy without even trying. If only I wasn't so scared of my father we could've already been together. I need to keep her alive but I don't think I can live another year of just obsessing over her and not actually us being together. One day before I have to leave I'll tell her. If were not together then I'll tell her how I feel. I have an idea on how to kill Dumbledore without me killing him. I'll give a cursed necklace to him, but have someone else give it. The only thing is who? I would never give it o Josephine, I want to keep her safe. Maybe then I wouldn't have to leave Hogwarts, well Josephine. When do I give it? Hogsmeade maybe? I don't know. All I can think about is Josephine. What will happen tonight? Will my lips finally touch hers after six years? But today is a Saturday, one of my least favorite days. I get to see Josephine less and, I have more time to work on the cabinet. I've thought about just ending it all but, what about my Josephine. If I do how will we ever be together?
I stuffed my diary in my robe pocket and started to head off to the great hall for breakfast.
When I arrived Josephine was there as usual sitting next to Potter, with his arm around her.
My blood started to boil, why wasn't she pushing him off? Doesn't he get Josephine is mine?
I sat down at the Slytherin table alone, glaring at Potter. I didn't eat I just glared.
After a few minutes I couldn't take it anymore so I left to go to the room of requirements.
As soon as I arrived I started to get to work. "Harmonia Nectere Passus" I muttered over and over again. Still nothing changed.
I stayed there for hours, and no progress. This task is driving me insane and the only person who can save me is Josephine.

I walked out of the room of requirements and noticed it was already 8:00. Shit Josephine!
When I got near the black lake, there she was on the floor, star gazing. "Josephine, I'm so sorry I er, had a lot of homework." I lied.
She looked to me. "It's okay, I didn't want to practice nonverbal spells anyways." She laughed. I laid down next to her. "Look it's the North Star! The brightest one!" She said while pointing to a star.
"I think I found a brighter one." I whispered looking right at her.
"What?" She asked. "Nothing, but are you and uh, Potter like together?" I asked. I'm not sure why I did but I wish I could take it back, the fear of her breaking my heart.
"Harry? No he's just a friend. Why do you ask?" She replied while looking at me. Those eyes, oh her eyes.
I snapped out of my little daze. "Oh, my friend fancies you." I lied. "Oh, okay." She replied and looked back at the sky.
We talked about our futures, our secrets, our families, and more for hours. Every time she spoke, every time she laughed, every time she even breathed I fell more in love with her, which I thought was impossible.
"You, Draco Malfoy's boggart was Hermione?" Josephine laughed. "Yes! She was very scary, well she still is." I replied. "Don't you remember in third year when she broke my nose?" I asked.
She burst out laughing. "Not to be rude but you deserved it." She replied. "Oh whatever, that bloody chicken almost tore off my arm!" I exclaimed.
"Your such a drama queen." Josephine laughed. Everything was perfect, until he came.
Josie?" I heard Potter yell from up the hill. My smile disappeared. I sat straight up.
"You missed dinner! And it's past curfew! And what are you doing this late out here with Malfoy?" Potter spat. I glared at him, he was always ruining my time with Josephine.
"Harry calm down, we were just looking at the stars." She replied. She turned to me. "But it is past curfew so we should get to bed, I'll see you." She replied and got up. I watched her walk all the way into the castle.
I didn't notice Potter was still here. "Stay away from her." Potter spat and walked off.
