"Starlight"
He had no idea why she was wondering the castle halls so late. Or so early, he should say. Maybe she was also trying to access the Room of Requirement so she could sneak death eaters into the castle. Nah.
Her chocolaty eyes closed so she could brush away the last traces of sleep as she stumbled through the castle. Typically, he tried not to notice. He tried not to watch her movements. He tried to keep to himself, to contain his feelings. It was times like these, when the starlight hit her auburn hair just right that he wanted to take her into his arms and never let her go.
She had no idea why she was awake at this ungodly hour. Ever since the other day when she'd run into him in the hall outside of Slughorn's office, she hadn't been able to shake his eyes. They had been crying. She could see the tears, bright against his ghostly grey eyes. He had turned his head away and told her to get lost, but his voice hadn't held the same sharpness as usual. In fact, he had sounded almost frail, and innocent.
But she had returned to this place almost every night, hoping to catch him again, to be able to ask him why he was crying. It had all been fruitless so far, trying to catch him in the starlight.
FIN! Please, tell me what you think. I enjoy all feedback.
