Easter break was arriving fastly, I have already told Draco that no matter if my father replies or not, I want to go with him to the Manor.

I'm definitely not staying at Hogwarts, not with all this rules and punishments around here, I knew for sure I would be safer at his place, where he would be, because I only feel safe when I'm with him.

The classes with the Carrows have gotten worse than ever before, if I wasn't fearing to be punished than I would proudly miss my classes.

The days have been warming at least, I spend all my day looking at my window, watching the Black Lake, listening to the water, it was like being inside of it, a calming and relaxing sound, but a person can be sick knowing is most probably the all thing she is going to see during the all weekend, fearing to leave the room.

So instead of being locked in my dorm, at least I went to the common room hoping to find there Draco or Blaise.

Of course, none of them was there at this time of the day, but instead there was Charlotte, sat in one of the couches near the fireplace.

I sent her a smile as I sat near her, and locked at the fire place seeing the flames burning the wood, warming and illuminating the room we were in.

"Hey." She said softly. "How are you doing." She asked softly.

"I'm doing fine, how about you." I asked, to be honest it feels odd to speak to Charlotte like this when once everything was shared between us.

"Yeah I'm fine." She said, and a awkward silence was placed between us afterwards.

None of us were making eye contact, actually, both were looking to something to focus the gaze on, to ignore the silence that was between us two.

"What happened, Charlotte?" I sighed. "What happened to the two inseparable best friends that we were?" I asked looking up at the high ceiling.

"I could lie and say that I know but...I don't." She said firmly. "I miss when we were always gossiping." She said, letting out a small laugh.

"Yeah, it feels like yesterday..." I said, looking back to previous years, when we would talk the all day.

"Remember the day we met?" She asked softly.

"Oh how could I forget the day we got lost." I said amusingly, both of us laughed at that.

It was sad to remember those days, the days where I thought that life is a fair thing, I had the best friendships, at least I thought I did, I had my mother, but there isn't such thing as fair in this world, those days, were the days where I was blind.

"Who would've know why would end up like this." Charlotte said in a melancholic tone. "Remember when I was always pressing on you to get a boyfriend." She said amusingly.

"How could I forget." I said and let out a laugh along with her.

"How is Malfoy by the way." She said softly, and I could tell that she really intended to know, not just because to look good.

"He's fine, thanks for asking." I said softly.

"I..." I could see that she was eager to ask me something, but didn't quite know how. "I apologize for some things I said, I wasn't really in me." She said in a firm tone.

Is not the best apologize, but thinking in Charlotte it's probably the best I can get from her.

"Don't worry about it...we say somethings that usually we don't really meant." I said softly.

She nodded slightly, and I gave her a smile, I can't say wether she is regretted or not, or perhaps she's regretted for losing our friendship but not from saying the things she said, I can't really distinguish.

We laughed together for a bit, remembering old things, old pranks and talks we had, it felt good to be speaking with Charlotte again, it felt like the good old times, were we would sit in our dorm gossiping about everything, I admit that I miss those times quite a lot.

"I'm sorry." She said softly, after we calmed down from our laughs. "I really am." I looked at her, perhaps for the first time in her eyes.

"I am sorry to." I said softly, and gave her a apologetic smile.

I missed talking with her, I missed our late conversations, I missed being with Charlotte in general, perhaps we could still bring all that back one day.

{☆~☆}

I walked out of my dorm quietly that night, hoping not to be caught here past curfew, the Carrows along with Filch have been quite cautions, and so I would have to be.

I climbed the stairs that leaded to the Tower, as usual, I know these stairs better than my own house.

That makes me think of how I miss my house, I don't go there in a time, and I wonder if my father has had even time to go there, probably check on the flowers, check if the house is even intact.

I missed my field, actually, I missed a lot of things, I missed running through that very same field of yellow flowers, with my hair fluttering in the wind, my dress getting dirty, finding different shapes in the clouds and pointing them with my mother, climbing trees with my father just because I wanted to see what feels like to be as tall as the tree, that at the time it felt so big, when barely passed my father's high.

It was painful to think of all my life before this, before all tear apart, everything looked so fine, and suddenly everything fell like a snap of fingers.

All the things I loved and cared, were now burning around me, and there was nothing I could do to stop it, only finding a way to not burn with them either.

The Tower wasn't cold, it was a warm and cozy temperature, perfect to be here outside even at this time of the night.

Some would perhaps wonder why we still come here when we have the all day, and the answer is that...we wanted to keep the old days alive, keep the very memory of it alive, so like before we always came here no matter what.

Of course, his proud always makes him get here before me.

I sat next to him, in my usual seat, we never switched sides before, we enjoyed to have always the same view from each other.

"Look at the sky." It was the first thing he said as soon as he felt me next to him.

The sky was filled with a thousand stars, shinning at their very best, not a cloud in sight, sparkling and shimmering stars on a dark endless, a vague unpunctual, on a river of blue, blessing our eyes, like if it was a melody to them.

"It's beautiful." I said astonished by looking at the sky shinier than ever, it hasn't never been like this, for the first time there were no clouds, no mist, just the stars. "Do you think it's a good sign?" I asked without removing my eyes from the sky even for a second.

"Let's hope so." He said softly.

We didn't shared any other word, we wanted to enjoy the sky for a little longer, like if it was the very last time we would witness such thing.

The only noise between us was the sound of the wind, gently kissing our bodies, and hitting the water from the Lake.

I felt his hand slowly grab mine, without even the need to look at it, and interlaced our fingers together, while both of us just stared at the masterpiece above us.

"There's a reason why the stars only shine during the night, because they shine better in the darkness instead of the day, so they choose the opposite from them, the light in the darkness." Draco said softly between our silence. "Like you and me." He added, and I felt my cheeks flush.

"So you think I'm the light and your the darkness?" I asked smiling.

"That's exactly what I think." He said firmly, and I turned my head when felt his burning gaze on my face. "There can't be light without the darkness...they would be incomplete." He said softly.

I didn't replied to him, my lips were parted away at his words, and I felt both of our eyes shining, either because the reflection of the stars, or because a river was in them I couldn't really tell.

He pressed his lips against mine, when saw my reaction, a slow kiss, like if we had all the time of the world at our feet, just the two of us, under the most magnificent sky it would ever touch this earth.

I felt like fire at his kiss, a kiss both of us wanted to last forever, to be here forever, under this eternal and peaceful painting of a universe.

His hand went to cup my cheek, a warm hand, only his finger being the coldness hitting my skin, but not a bothering coldness, I enjoyed the sense of every inch of his bare hand on my skin.

When we pulled away, we both looked up at the skin again, as my head fell on his shoulder as I did so.

I've never felt so safe in my entire life.

"If that's the sky, I wonder what heaven looks like." I said softly, more of a thought I spoke out loud.

"The only heaven I'll be sent to, is when I'm alone with you." Draco said softly, and his hands gently massaged mine as we kept watching the stars, for as long as we could.

His head ended up falling to the top of mine, his soft face being against my hazel hair, sometimes he would play with the necklace still around my neck with his fingers.

We were so relaxed, no one could ruin this moment, it is perhaps, the most precious moment I've ever got to share with him, and I didn't wanted to waste it away, on the contrary, I wanted to know the exact details of it until the rest of my life, memorize every second, every touch, every word.

We didn't fell asleep, the such dazzling sky didn't let us, we weren't even tired, only when the dawns light was hitting our faces intensely, and the new day was rising to our eyes, was when we left the Tower together, grateful for the sky had blessed us with such gift last night.
