"Stop it, Ron. You're making it snow." Hermione told Ron as she glanced up to see some snow falling down at the four of you.

Ron nodded while Harry dusted the snow off away from the table. "Tell me how I broke up with Lavender again," Ron said as he glanced at Lavender, who was a table away behind you and Harry.

Ron was finally out, and well, however, he has no idea how he broke up with Lavender; he didn't even know they were broken up.

"Well, she came to visit you in the hospital," Hermione explained, a bit stuttering. "And you talked. I don't believe it was a particularly long conversation."

"Don't get me wrong... I'm bloody thrilled to be shot of her. It's just she seems a bit... put out." Ron said.

You and Harry looked behind while Hermione and Ron moved their heads to the side. The four of you saw Lavender gripping her spoon tightly and a younger Gryffindor girl looking at her weirdly. "Yes, um... she does, doesn't she?" Hermione stifled a chuckle.

You frowned. 'Lavender's killing the spoon. Poor spoon. Please let go. It did nothing wrong.'

As you feared for the poor spoon's life at the hands of Lavender Brown, Harry turned back to Hermione and Ron. "You say you don't remember anything from that night." You heard Hermione ask Ron. "Anything at all?"

Ron started thinking. "There is something." He glanced at Harry before chuckling. "But it can't be. I was completely boggled, didn't I?"

Hermione painfully let out a forced chuckle. "Right. Boggled."

You broke your stare from Lavender's spoon when you noticed someone passed by. You looked at the person and realized who it was. "Harry..." You tapped Harry's shoulder. "She's back. Katie. Katie Bell."

Harry looked around until he spotted Katie Bell. He stood up, and you watched as Harry walked towards Katie. "Katie." Hs greeted with a warm smile which she returned with a small smile. "How are you?"

You took a bite on your chocolate, savoring the flavor of its sweetness until Hermione faked a cough to get your attention. You looked at her, and she gestured you to look at the entrance of the Great Hall.

You turned your head to the side to see Draco Malfoy breathing heavily and began to panic when he saw Katie. He glanced at you while you stared at him. He was tired and paler as ever.

Katie eventually noticed your boyfriend causing Harry to turn around, seeing Draco. Harry clenched his jaw while Draco gulped and looked around before turning and walking away in a hurry.

"Katie. I--"

"No, Harry." You interrupted him. "You can talk to Katie. I'll go after him."

Before Harry could argue, you stood up and ran away, following Draco. You saw him turn to a corner, and you began chasing him, not letting him leave out from your sight.

Draco headed straight to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. You froze for a second. 'Does he come here often?' You quietly entered the bathroom and saw him in front of the sink and mirror. Draco was standing with his back to the door, his hands clutching either side of the sink, his white-blond head bowed. He removed his vest and looked at himself.

His lips started to quiver, and he started crying. You began approaching him until Moaning Myrtle noticed Draco's presence.

"Don't," You heard Moaning Myrtle crooned from one of the cubicles. You watched as she floated towards him. "Don't... tell me what's wrong. I can help you."

"No one can help me," Draco cried. His whole body was shaking. "I can't do it... I can't... It won't work, and unless I do it soon... he says he'll kill me... he might even kill her..."

Myrtle heavily sighed before turning around to see you. She gave you a nod and floated away to give you and Draco some space. You sauntered towards Draco and hugged him from behind. Draco jumped in surprise, feeling a familiar set of arms wrapping around his torso, embracing him.

You pulled away when Draco turned to look at you. His eyes were puffy and red, his face was almost as white as a ghost, and his hair was quite a mess.

"(Y-Y/n)..." Draco tried to finish his sentence but failed when he sobbed harder and laid his head on your shoulder. You sighed and pulled him closer, patted his back, and kissed the side of his head. You began to whisper some comfort words to him for him to calm down.

"I'm tired. I tried. But I can't." He kept on saying.

"Darling..." You whispered, running down your fingers on his hair.

"I know what you did, Malfoy. You hexed it, didn't you?"

Draco quickly lifted his head up and widened his eyes. You flinched and turned around to see Harry glaring intensely at Draco. You noticed Draco pulled out his wand. You were about to stop him, but Draco cast a spell quickly, which Harry dodged.

Harry shouted a spell, and you quickly jumped in front of Draco to buy him some time to hide. "Protego!" You pulled out your wand and cast the spell.

"(Y/n), get out of the way," Harry warned.

"Not until you calm yourself and settle this maturely." You scolded. "This doesn't have to be a duel."

"You know what he is, (Y/n)!" Harry exclaimed. "He hexed Katie, and he's a Death Eater! Did you not register that in your brain?"

Harry noticed Draco's feet around the bathroom stalls, so he pushed you away and shot a spell towards Draco. Draco immediately blocked it and shot back a spell at Harry. You groaned in annoyance. "This is getting on my nerves." You gritted your teeth. You were about to shout at them until Harry and Draco came to face to face.

"Sectumsempra!"

You recognized the spell. It was the same spell he asked you, Hermione, and Ron before. Harry was curious about it, and you didn't know he was going to use it. When you heard the spell for the first time, it felt like it was deadly.

Until your eyes landed on Draco Malfoy crashing onto the waterlogged floor with a great splash with his wand falling from his limp right hand. You glanced at Harry before running towards Draco.

The sight of your boyfriend on the flooded floor with multiple cuts endlessly slashing into his whole body as his blood spurted out was enough to make you scream in distraught. You crouched down and held his hand, tears streaming down your cheeks. Draco gripped your hand tight painfully, which you paid no mind because he was in pain more.

Blood spurted from Draco's chest as though he had been slashed with invisible daggers. "I-It hurts...!" Draco screamed, crying.

You cupped his cheeks and gave him a weak smile, trying to hide the fact that you were shaking in panic. "You're okay, Draco. I'm here. Stay with me, baby."

Harry stood just a few feet away, horrified of what he was seeing. He glanced at his wand before looking at you in fear. He knew you wouldn't forgive him for this.

You heard footsteps behind you until the person crouched down next to you. You glanced up to see Professor Snape pulling out his wand, preparing to heal Draco.

You looked down at Draco, who was breathing heavily, still sobbing, but his eyes were starting to flutter close. You held his hand tighter to keep him away as you choked out a broken sob. Snape glanced at you. "I'll take it from here, Ms. Stark."

"N-No! I don't... I don't want to leave him. I--"

"Stay..." You heard Draco's whisper as he looked at you with tired eyes. "Please stay with me..."

You nodded vigorously. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying."

Snape looked up at Harry. "Go." He nonchalantly but sternly told Harry.

Harry flinched and looked at you, hoping for you to look at him. However, your focus was mainly stuck to Draco as you gave a gentle squeeze on Draco's hand. Harry nodded and shortly left the bathroom.

"Vulnera Sanentur," Snape muttered a healing spell for Draco, and your boyfriend started to lose consciousness. You sat up straight and started panicking, but Snape patted your shoulder. "He's alright, Ms. Stark."

You sighed in relief until you glanced at the door. "I'll be right back, sir." You quickly stood up and marched your way out to see Harry walking just not far from you. "Harry James Potter!"

Harry froze and turned around. "(Y/n)."

You walked towards him and gave him a slap on his cheek. Harry winced before nodding. "I... I kind of deserved that."

"Kind of?" You scoffed. "You almost killed Draco! What on earth were you thinking about using the spell you barely even know about?"

"I was blinded by rage, (Y/n)!" He excused. "I was seeing red, and I couldn't think of any more spells against him."

"Bullshit." You hissed.

"(Y/n), he's a Death Eater!" He defended. "He's the reason why Katie was hospitalized and cursed! He's also the reason why Ron got almost killed by poisoning him!"

"So, as an act of revenge, you decided to almost kill him? Without even a solid proof that he did those things?"

"I didn't mean for it to happen--"

"And so what if he is a Death Eater? You couldn't have asked him what his reason was behind it? Not everything's solution is casting deadly spells or hexes."

Harry didn't respond, but he kept his stern look.

"Harry, I know you don't consider him as a friend." You told calmly. "But accident or not, you should have thought of that first before casting the spell you're not even familiar with."

His face softened, and he opened his mouth to say something. But no words came out, so he shut his mouth immediately. You sighed and turned around, walking back to the bathroom to check on Draco.

°‒○●○‒°

Draco slowly opened his eyes, repeatedly blinking to adjust his eyesight. He turned his head to a nearby window and noticed the moon was shining on him. He tried to sit up until he felt pain, so he laid back down.

"Bloody hell." He murmured. Draco looked around and noticed you were asleep with your head laying by his hand, held by you. "Oh, darling..." He sighed.

Draco sat up again, trying to ignore how much pain he was in, and reached his other hand out to wake you but stopped. He stared at your sleeping state and felt your breath against the skin on his hand. Draco rubbed circles on the back of your hand using his thumb as he smiled.

You fluttered your eyes open and locked eyes with Draco. It took you a second to realize he was awake. You jolted up and panicked. "Oh, my God. Draco, you're awake! How long were you up? Should I wake Madam Pomfrey? Does anything hurt? I could--"

"(Y/n), (Y/n)." Draco weakly chuckled. "I'm okay."

You sighed in relief and leaned your head against his stomach. "You made me worried sick."

"Why didn't you head back to your dorm? I bet you slept uncomfortably there."

"I insisted on staying. I couldn't leave you." You covered your mouth to yawn. "Besides, you asked me to stay. So, I'm staying."

Draco frowned. "You're tired."

You shook your head. "No, I'm not."

"When did you sleep?"

"Just a little while ago."

Draco gave you a look while you groaned. "I needed to check how you were. I don't want to lose you and see you bleeding on the bathroom floor... it scared me."

You looked down and gently gripped his hand. "I thought I was going to lose you again."

Draco furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Again?"

You looked up to see him. "You lost your memories about me, remember? I didn't know how it was possible, but... it happened. I was actually distraught when I heard you forgotten about me."

Draco slowly nodded in understanding as a thought came to his mind. "Forgotten..." He whispered. He was too lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize you were calling his name.

"Draco?" You shook his arm. "You there?"

"Hm?" Draco looked back at you. "Yeah, yeah."

"Where'd you go?"

He smiled. "Nowhere."

You smiled back and slightly stood up to place a gentle kiss on his forehead. "You need to rest again, love." You whispered. "You deserve some rest."

Just as you pulled away, Draco yanked your hand back, and you managed to catch yourself when you almost lost your balance. Your faces were inches away from each other, and you saw his lips curving into a smirk. "I think you missed."

You rolled your eyes and chuckled before leaning in to kiss his lips. Draco kissed you back, snaking his hand up to the back of your head to deepen the kiss. He moved away to kiss the corner of your lips, then to your jaw, and down to your neck. You slightly laughed when you felt ticklish until you let out a small moan when he found your soft spot.

"Okay, darling, I told you to rest." You chuckled as you pulled away, earning a slight whine from Draco. He gave you a pleading look. "Nuh-uh, that's not going to work on me, Draco."

You helped him lay down, and you sat back down to your chair. Draco tugged your hand. "Can you at least sleep with me here?"

"The bed's too small for the both of us, Draco."

"We'll work it out." He moved aside and patted the empty space beside him. You stared at him for a moment before giving in and laying down beside him. Draco moved closer to you and scooped you into his arms, laying his chin on top of your head while you nuzzled your face to his shoulder. You felt his lips place a kiss on top of your head. "See? It works." You heard him say.

"Mhm..." You hummed as you felt yourself giving in to sleep.

"Love?"

"Hm, yes?"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Draco noticed you had fallen asleep when he heard your soft snores. He smiled until he caught a glimpse of his dark tattoo inked to his left arm. He shut his eyes close in disgust and slightly lowered his left arm down to avoid seeing it again.

"You lost your memories about me, remember? I didn't know how it was possible, but... it happened. I was actually distraught when I heard you forgotten about me."

Draco heavily sighed before stroking your hair gently in comfort. "If I could be anywhere..." He sang quietly. "I'd be there with you, girl..."

°‒○●○‒°

You entered the Gryffindor Common Room, earning some worried looks from Hermione, Ron, and Ginny. In front of them was Harry, who had his back facing at you. You were about to walk away until you noticed the book that contained the same spell that hurt Draco.

"(Y/n)..." Hermione greeted quietly, fearing of her own life when you're furious.

However, you weren't furious. You were irritated and frustrated. You gave her a small smile before marching your way towards Harry. You slammed your palm harshly on the book. "You have to get rid of this book." You told Harry sternly.

Harry flinched and quickly looked up to see you. "(Y/n), I--"

"Today." You hissed.

Ginny stood up and walked towards you. "Calm down, (Y/n)." She turned around and reached out her hand for Harry to take. "Take my hand. I'll help you get rid of the book."

Harry glanced at you before holding Ginny's hand. You brought the book to Ginny and gave a look to Harry. "Make sure he won't ever find it again, Ginny."

"Yes, ma'am." Ginny pulled Harry away, walking together out of the common room. You sat down where Harry sat and crossed your arms, sighing heavily.

"How's Malfoy?" Ron asked.

You turned to face Ron and Hermione. "He's doing well. He just needs to rest, that's all."

"Harry didn't know," Hermione explained. "He didn't know what was going to happen if he cast the spell."

"Well, he should've thought about that." You huffed.

Ron frowned. "Both of them made mistakes, and you know that, right?"

You stared at Ron before sighing and leaning your head against the pillow behind you. "Right..."

"So, is it really true? That he's a Death Eater?"

"He..." You bit your lip, forcing yourself not to confirm their suspicions. By now, they should know, but you remained quiet. A few minutes have passed, Harry came back without Ginny and stared at you, Hermione, and Ron for a moment.

"Where's Ginny?" You asked.

"Out." Harry cleared his throat, scratching the back of his head.

You nodded wordlessly before looking away. Hermione gave you and Harry a look. You stared at her before groaning and standing up, walking towards Harry. Harry slightly stepped back in fear that you might hurt him. You stared at him. "I..."

Harry's expression softened when you suddenly burst into tears. Hermione instantly stood up in worry while Ron sat up straight. Harry hesitated but pulled you into a hug, patting your back. "I'm sorry. I really am, (Y/n). I don't expect you to forgive me that easily. I should have known better."

You buried your face on his neck, sobbing. "I'm sorry too." Your voice was muffled, but Harry heard it loud and clear. You pulled away and frowned. "I could have been calmer and nicer. You couldn't blame me, though. You acted like a stupid idiot for casting that deadly spell on Draco with no proper knowledge about it."

"I know. I shouldn't have cast it." Harry sighed. "Malfoy matters to you, and we managed to have an unusual bond throughout the years. I shouldn't have done it. I almost killed him."

"Yeah, you did."

"But seriously, I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too."

You and Harry shared a hug once again then pulled away. Hermione sighed in relief before sitting back down beside Ron while Ron smiled. "So, did you and Ginny do it then?"

Harry's face fell in shock. "What?"

"Well, hide the book?"

"Oh, yeah."
