"Lara! Wake up you're gonna get late." I heard a voice calling my name, and I slowly opened my eyes, waking up to find Charlotte shaking my bodie in a rush.

"What? Wait what time is it?" I asked softly, rubbing my eyes, but my eyes still half closed.

I stretched my bodie, still extremely tired for not having properly sleep.

"Lara, for Merlin's sake get up, you have like five minutes to dress and go to class!" Charlotte said in a concerned tone.

"What?!" I shouted and quickly stood up from the bed, walking forward to the dresser.

I dressed the quickest I could ignoring the huge headache I had due to arriving so late last night.

"Lara, honestly, this is not like you!" Charlotte said, while I was putting on my clothes.

"I'm sorry, I just...didn't had enough sleep." I said awkwardly as an excuse, while buttoning my shirt.

"Lara honestly what has been into you lately..." Charlotte said frustrated, sitting on the bed, waiting for me to finish dressing. "...is this because of Malfoy?" She asked abruptly.

"What, n-" She cut me off.

"Are you still talking with him?!" She asked abruptly, standing up and walking towards me, as I was putting on my robe.

"No Charlotte I'm not..." I let out a deep sigh and grabbed my bag. "Let's just go ahead to class." I said not wanting to speak about this no more, having to lie to my bestfriend is one of the things I hate the most.

And like if the things couldn't get worse the first class of the day was Potions, with Snape.

Fortunately, we got there in time, everybody was already sat down, but Snape didn't said anything to us, and I don't think he even noticed our rushed entrance.

Snape was just talking about some review on the Ageing Potion, as I was resting my face on my palm, almost falling asleep, not being able to keep up with the class...

"Miss Blackwell..." Snape said firmly, and I quickly raised my head, and realized that my eyes were closed and I was sleeping. "...Do you have some kind of issue, finding the distinction between my class and your dorm?" He asked clearly, making all the class look at me.

"Hmmm I-" He cut me off, not that I was really going to reply anyway.

"Detention Miss Blackwell, tomorrow, after classes." He said firmly and went back to his explanation.

I rolled my eyes in frustration, and tried my best for the rest of the class not to fall asleep.

{☆~☆}

Through the whole day, I was almost falling asleep, even in classes, I barely could give attention to the professors or else I would fall asleep faster then a blink of eyes.

Charlotte was always snapping her fingers in front of my face every time she saw me almost falling asleep.

I've never been so tired in my life, and my headache was not helping, to be honest, I looked miserable, and it would be so hard to study everything we gave in class in the library the next day, all by myself.

Charlotte went to hang out with her special friend like she calls it, and I waited for Matthew to show up in the Great Hall and dinner with me.

And as soon as I was about to fall asleep, and hit my face on the plate, Matthew shows up and I wake up, resting my face on my palm.

"Hey. What's wrong with you?" Matthew asked concerned, sitting in front of me.

"Nothing, I'm just tired." I said calmly, playing the food with my fork.

"Hard time in school?" Matthew asked softly, more like a affirmation, picking up his cutlery to eat his food.

"Hmmm." I nodded my head, humming in affirmation, picking up the salt container to pour it in my food.

"Lara I highly think you should get some sleep." Matthew said calmly.

"Why?" I asked softly.

"Well, firstly, your bags under your eyes are just imperceptible, and secondly...you're pouring salt in your water." As soon as he said those words, I opened my eyes wide open, and saw that he was right.

I placed the salt down in the table, and rubbed my eyes, trying to wipe away all my tiredness, even knowing that was impossible, specially after doing that the all day.

"Lara, just go to sleep, you look a mess." He said softly, and puted a piece of food inside his mouth.

"No, I'm fine." I said calmly, switching my salty water for pure water with my wand. "Well I did gained myself a detention from Snape but-" He cut me off.

"You what?!" He asked abruptly. "The Lara I know would never get herself in detention." He said firmly.

"Well the Lara you know is tired." I said annoyed.

"But why are you so tired though?" He asked softly, while chewing his food.

"I just didn't had enough sleep last night." I said softly, and placed my palm on my face again, holding it still.

"Clearly." He said amusingly, cutting a piece of food with his mouth. "It's has something to do with Malfoy doesn't it?" He asked softly, not locking his gaze with mine.

"What, no-" He cut me off, finally locking his gaze with me.

"Don't lie to me, I prefer that you tell me the truth rather than the lie." He said coldly, his features were upset. "Lara, have you looked at yourself? You've seen how he is, we both did, why-" I cut him off, letting my fork fall in the table.

"Matthew, I don't wanna argue with you right now, my head is a mess." I said coldly, standing up abruptly, and rushing away from him.

I didn't want to go to my dorm either, if Charlotte was there or not, I didn't know, but if she was, instead of Matthew, I would have to hear her sermon instead, which one the worse, I prefer not to know.

So I went to the last place I remembered, the Astronomy Tower, it was still early, so Draco wouldn't be there yet.

I climbed the stairs all way up, and sat there, in the same place I use to sit, letting my feet fall off the rail.

Surprinsly, being here did calmed my headache down, not enough to change my humor, but enough to keep me awake.

I was there alone for long minutes, maybe even hours, I don't really know, and to be honest, it's intriguing how I did not fall asleep, not even once.

"You're here earlier." I hear Draco's voice behind me. "Looks like my minutes of peace before you show up will not be happening then." He said coldly, as I heard his footsteps behind me, reaching where I was.

I didn't replied back, as he just sat there, besides me, where he usuallys sits.

"Bloody hell, Blackwell, what happened to your face?!" He asked abruptly, shocked by how I looked.

"I stayed here last night until very late, and didn't realized, and now I'm super tired." I said coldly, not looking at him, but at the sky, fearing that my headache would get worse if I did that.

"And I thought you couldn't be more dumb...guess I was wrong." He said amusingly, turning his gaze at the sky.

"Whatever, Malfoy." I said coldly, not wanting to speak with him or anyone, just look at the sky and try to ignore my headache.

"Honestly you look a mess..." He said in a disgusted tone. "...Haven't you thought about getting some sleep instead of being here?" He asked firmly.

"I've heard two sermons, from two different people today, and I don't need yours as well." I said coldly, and turned my head at him, already annoyed, because my headache was getting worse.

"Well, you kinda deserve to hear those sermons, you could be resting but still, you're here..." He said coldly, avoiding eye contact. "Do a favor to both of us and go to your dorm." He said firmly.

As I looked at him, and examined his face the best I could, I saw his mask just a bit more open, his tone not so angry like yesterday, more like annoyed, or maybe, I was just imagining that due to the how sleepy I was...

My eyes started blinking slowly, his pale face becoming blurry, my eyes started feeling so heavy, like if I couldn't keep them open fpr no longer.

My head was starting to fall and, my body feeling...

Everything went black.
