Chapter One:

Among the blackness and gloom a glint was a glint of light, this glint of light felt suffocated. It moved with an air of despair and sadness.

Draco's eyes fluttered open as he looked up from the trail his class were currently walking along. He sighed and shoved his hands into his pockets the better to keep the cold of them.

"Come on Mr Malfoy keep urp." Came the gruff voice of Rubius Hagrid.

Draco glanced up and ran a little to catch up but did not say a word, this made Hagrid frown. It was not normal for the Malfoy kid to be so submissive.

"Alright class now look around you, see if you can find a yellow and white flower. Madam Pomfry needs them. Collect as many as you can." he said.

When they all walked of Hagrid went to find Draco. He found him sitting against a big tree knees bent.

'You all right Malfoy?" he asked.

Draco looked up with a hint of sadness showing through those cold eyes that were a mask for all his pain and sorrow.

"I'm fine." He said looking to the left.

"Do you want talk about it?" he asked sitting next to him.

"There is nothing to talk about!" he said defensively.

Hagrid sighed and stared ahead thinking 'This is going to be hard.' He knew Mafloys were not one for showing emotions, especially not weakness.

"Alright but I'm here if ya need me." He said and got up to check on the others.

Draco sighed and conjured a note he wrote on it that he was going back to the castle and sent it flying to Hagrid.

He cried silently on his trek back to the castle.

When he got back headed to the library and sat down in an alcove between the wall and a bookshelf and read his favourite book.

This did not go unnoticed by madam Pince who sighed and shook her head. This was becoming more and more regular. She knew he was greatly saddened, you had to be blind not to see he was sad.

She went to her office and made some hot coco and added cinnamon to it. She knew he liked this.

She once bout him a hot drink on a very cold day after observing how long he had been sitting there for and discovered he liked it very much.

Walking over she placed the coco next to him as he looked up at her and then ran a hand over his hair, almost like a mother would. Though Draco knew nothing of a loving mother.

Draco gave a small smile of thanks and continued his reading occasionally sipping his drink.

The book he read? "Romeo and Juliet."……….
